Great customer service and tasty food. If I travel to Charleston again, I’d definitely return to this spot. Great views and plenty of seating.

Had my first disappointing meal here. The Seafood a la Wappoo. Way too much cheese, Alfredo, and pene and not enough seafood. Very greasy. Left most of the cheese and pene. No way worth $28.95. Wife had the crab cakes and as usual was very pleased.

Stopped here during our family annual Folly Beach trip. Food was great and had a nice view of the canal. Menu seemed a little limited but over was a great experience.

Was a great experience and the food was AMAZING and Ben our server was the greatest ❤️
Kid-friendliness: We have the pickiest eater and chicken tender and fries was available
I had really high expectations! The hostess girls were welcoming and fun!
It was the hush puppies that let me down! They tasted decent but were really really greasy- the honey butter that people raved about in the reviews turned out not to be butter, instead it was some kind of spread with artificial flavors in it so I wouldn’t touch it.
I ordered a crab bucket with snow crabs and Dungeness crabs. Snow crab was good but the Dungeness crabs weren’t.
The restaurant was uncomfortably hot (inside) so it was just not a good experience for me.

So I called and made a reservation for 30 people, and the team there made it easy as a crab cake! Great service, amazing food, and really cool atmosphere. It's a must!

We went with a party of five for dinner. We had a great server but the food arrived warm to cold. She crab soup was room temp. Fries were cold and low country boil included an ear of frozen corn that was just above thawed, sausage was cold with only the potatoes and shrimp being warm. As a courtesy, I quietly told the server so they could correct the kitchen for other guest. I explained that was the only purpose in my sharing the info. This lead to two managers coming over and talking where other tables could hear and a partial discount on the dish. They charged for the shrimp since those were eaten. I would have rather them just leave the entire dish on my bill then give a partial credit to a $200 meal. Won’t be back.

Watery bland she crab soupTough non-flakey red fish covered in a bland, spice less, flavorless “white cajun sauce”Oysters so old and tired they had no juiceGrits that had 0 flavorCollard greens over cooked to the point they were mush.Please save yourself the money, go somewhere that can actually cook food. This is not a Charleston low country seafood house, it’s a tourist chain and a bad one at that.
Having tried the Crab House chain when they first opened and been appalled and offended by the food, I was reluctant to return but was with a group so I just went with it. I checked the reviews and was surprised by the number of good reviews, but when I looked deeper the raves were generally from tourists (who are the preferred victims of this chain as they don’t know better). The appetizers were generally tasty, but enough bacon makes anything good. The crab dip actually was a pretty good version.The hush puppies, though, were just fried corn mush, dense as rocks. Not sure where they went wrong with the batter- perhaps they forgot the leavening, and didn’t know enough to use self-rising corn meal. They were totally bland- absolutely no evidence of onions or peppers in the finished gut-bombs.The She-Crab soup had a very good flavor. It was the thinnest, wateriest She-Crab soup I’ve ever seen, but good flavor.Now we get to the major problem with this restaurant group- the call themselves the Charleston Crab House, yet their menu is almost 100% local food free. The only Blue Crab on the menu is the cover picture. 100% of the crab on the menu is from the West Coast or Alaska. This alone shows a complete disrespect and disregard of Lowcountry quality and tradition.For my entree, I specifically asked what local product was available. I was told only the flounder was local. This is a travesty, as there are shrimpers docked just down the creek with phenomenal local product available, but tourist traps like this one prefer the ultra-cheap imported farmed shrimp to serve to unsuspecting tourists and transplants. There is a MAJOR difference in quality and flavor. Things being what they were I ordered the Crispy Flounder. It came fried in some hard, crunchy coating that was hard to break through. Traditional Lowcountry fried flounder has a simple salt, pepper, and cornmeal breading. The fish was either old and freezer burned, or badly overcooked, and was dry and stringy- hard to do with flounder.All in all, they should pack up this chain and move all of the locations to the plains states, and compete with the other chains.Do yourself, and the Lowcountry, a huge favor, and avoid this and all “local” restaurants who completely ignore local food traditions and producers. The world will be a better place.

Shrimp was just ok, red rice dry and hard like it had been sitting uncovered for hours, veggie side was mush.

Love the food and the view from the dock is beautiful!

Been here many times when visiting Mt Pleasant. Our stop for lunch this week was well below our usual expectation. My wife ordered the Shrimp Boil. Shrimp were good but the potatoes were hard (not done and inedible) and the corn was cold near the cob. The sausage were thin with no flavor. A mention to the waiter barely got a response, a slight shrug at best. I opted for the fried shrimp from the lunch menu. 1 side only with none of the usual fixins' included with the plate(fries, cole slaw, hush puppies). I got 8 small fried shrimp bigger than a dime but smaller than a quarter. I'm tired of leaving hungry after these sixty dollar lunches.
