Somehow I came across Geechie Garlic Crabs (GGC) & am delighted to have given it a try. The customer service was outstanding as we felt welcomed and appreciated! For a seafood restaurant, it didn't smell like one and was very neat and clean. We enjoyed the vibe from the music being played moreso than the multiple TVs. We ordered a few items since it was our 1st time and many of them sounded yummy. We ordered the crab legs with shrimp in garlic (which comes with an egg, an ear of corn, and quartered potatoes), fried blue crab, and garlic blue crab. Everything was so good and don't forget to try the crab rice which was extremely flavorful with real crab meat! My only drawbacks were that GGC is limited to only 3 drinks (bottled water, two regular flavored sodas, and a Palmetto Juice that the server said reminded her of Jolly Ranch). Having the options of tea (sweet or unsweetened), diet, or zero sugar sodas would have been nice. The platters are delicious but messy/juicy to say the least. Having a plastic bib and wet napkins would have helped to keep us more tidy. The tables are small and pans are provided to discard shells/trash. A bucket would be a better use for the limited space. Even with those few short comings, we would certainly return to Geechie Garlic Crabs and encourage you to give them a try.
Absolutely AMAZING! I had the crab rice, corn, potatoes and shrimp!! The homemade tater sauce was great as well.
The absolute best!! Food, service & atmosphere are welcoming. My go-to when family & friends come to town.
10/10. No notes. Got a Snow Crab and shrimp platter. Support a small business and eat here if you’re craving a good seafood boil with flavor.
Contemplated moving here after eating this
Hands down the best seafood I've ever eaten. The service (and music) was amazing as well. I would make the 4 hour drive from my home town just for the food alone. This is a hidden gem for sure 🩷
Best fried shrimp around. Crab rice was dry.
The food & seafood is always good and fresh! The Employees and owner are always pleasant and attentive.
Here on vacation from Texas and found this place near our hotel. Absolutely the best seafood I’ve ever had! Staff was super sweet and helpful. Be ready to get messy! The food is 100% worth it!
If you’re looking for a seafood experience that hits every note—Geechie Garlic Crabs & Seafood delivers flavor and freshness! I’m not easily impressed, but from the moment I walked in, the cleanliness and inviting setup caught my attention. The presentation of the food was eye-catching and appetizing, with generous portions that matched the bold flavors in every bite. And let’s talk about that special sauce—rich, buttery, and perfectly seasoned—it brought everything together in the most mouthwatering way. Now, I wanted to take a picture to show y’all, but… let’s just say I taste-tested while driving and forgot all about it. You know it’s good when the fork beats the phone every time! Customer service was just as impressive—friendly, reasonable timing for fresh food, and genuinely focused on making sure your experience is top-tier. It’s clear that this spot takes pride in both their kitchen and their customers. 10/10 recommend. Whether you’re a seafood lover or just craving something unforgettable, Geechie Garlic Crabs & Seafood is a must-try!
The BEST crab I have ever had! The wings and loaded shrimp fries are also phenomenal!

Finally!!! I’ve been wanting to try this place for the longest and I finally was able to! Definitely was not disappointed and I highly recommend them! I was delighted in trying out their lovely Land and Sea Valentine’s Day special. ( 2-garlic honey lamb chops, 6-garlic honey pan seared shrimp, 1 steamed garlic lobster(garlic butter crab cluster, substituted), Garlic mash & Broccoli w/cheese. When I tell y’all every single thing was bussin’ please believe me! 😋 My daughter ate hers and said she wanted more! We will definitely become a new customer! Thank you Geechie Garlic Crabs for coming through!❤️
