We loved the atmosphere at the Crab Shack. It was a beautiful day, and we arrived around 11:30 AM on Saturday for lunch. We were seated at a table outside with a great view of the water. It was not crowded. Our server was friendly. We ordered the boiled shrimp lunch special because we were not very hungry. It was... More

We go here regularly, and it is a special treat for the whole family. Everything is super fresh and delicious. The drinks are great too. When you go, Ask for Audrie's section, she is a great server. Always on point and honest.

My first thought was to flee when we were told there was no A/C. It was a hot and sticky night..so we opted for the patio...hoping for a breeze. What we got was a table with a hole in the middle, so we could throw garbage or shells away as the case may be, while we eat. The trash can... More

Loved the low country boil which included crawfish, 2 kinds of crab, peel and eat shrimp, mussels, corn, and potatoes. Two of us shared and there was enough for the granddaughter too. The grandkids enjoyed feeding the alligators and then going in the tropical bird house/gift shop after we ate. It was all very entertaining! The only negative thing is... More

If you are traveling through or vacationing on Tybee Island or Savannah this is one restaurant you do not want to miss. Fantastic seafood and wonderful casual atmosphere. We will drive 2 hours to eat here. Enjoyed yet another great seafood dinner!

Not long ago when you went to the Crab Shack you could have anything you wanted to eat as long as it was CRAB! Now, with Chili/Cheese Dogs added to a rather bland menu, you'll find that you too miss the old Crab Shack. Two suggestions - Look at one of the older menus and get rid of the cats... More

Dont get sucked in by the advertisements!!!!!! The place smells like nasty swamp animals and the food is NOT a good representation of what Savannah/Tybee/Local food is. Dont do it!

Where the elite eat in bare feet. This is a good place to eat and on the way in you get to see live gators. The tables have holes in the middle where you throw your garbage.
