The Crab Shack Reviews
Buckets are amazing loved the atmosphere
Went in for a combination Valentines Day dinner and birthday dinner (for me). The food was excellent, great service thanks to Natasha. She definitely gets a gold star in our book. I recommend the crab cakes. While we didn't have dessert this time out, the key lime pie always excellent. And I could eat their hushpuppies all day long.
Outstanding seafood platter

The Crab Shack is a beloved restaurant known for its amazing food and service. It offers a variety of seafood dishes and is a must-visit spot for steamed crab and shrimp, as well as its renowned crab cakes. The restaurant's she-crab soup and coleslaw are also highly praised, though opinions on the she-crab soup can vary. With its low-key atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff, The Crab Shack remains a top choice for seafood lovers in Charleston. Many customers appreciate the reasonable prices and generous portions, often needing to ask for to-go boxes. The restaurant is also noted for its Crab stuffed Flounder, which is considered the best in the area, along with delightful specialty drinks. The covered and screened-in outside seating offers a peaceful dining experience, even on rainy days. Recent reviews highlight the attentive service from staff members like Alexis and Jasmine, who provide great recommendations. Guests enjoy dishes such as calamari, crab stuffed mushrooms, shrimp and grits, and crab buckets. Overall, The Crab Shack is a true hidden gem that continues to impress with excellent food and attentive service, making it a perfect spot for both small gatherings and larger groups.
