The Crab Shack, Charleston

Excellent fried shrimps and oysters. Delicious red rice with sausage andfried orka. Wonderful friendly service. One of my favorite restaurants.

We were seated quickly, wonderful staff and food was delicious! Just found this place randomly while on an overnight visit with my son and they had everything we were looking for!

We got the grilled seafood $24 and the portions were moderate and it it was OK service was slow. We also got the collard's Mac and cheese grits and that was all OK

Worth every penny! Kenny was our waiter and he was AWESOME! We were not disappointed in the food or atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Oysters were fresh and delicious! Our waitress, Rachel, was very helpful in helping us choose the different kinds.

The Jonah claws were delicious and were in a special sauce that was out of this world. The snow crabs were delicious as well. They only downside was that we had to wait a while before someone came to take our order. Then he forgot...the claws but brought them right away.More

We waited just a short while after giving our name. Ordered the Low Country Shrimp Boil...outstanding. My husband had the fried flounder and said it was also very delicious. Friendly service too.

I brought a friend that was visiting from Illinois and kept bringing him to places that use fresh seafood like Crab Shack. We got the crab/avocado dip and mushroom balls for apps. I got the fried flounder and he got the seafood platter with shrimp,...flounder and scallops. He ate everything and loved it. The waitress was very friendly and got all orders correct. Definitely recommend this location for great food.More

I just couldn’t go to Charleston without having some seafood! If it’s from the sea, it’s for me! One of my favorite sayings. So I have lots of experience in seafood shops. That being said, the Captains platter at The Crab Shack ticked off almost...every box for me! With 2 flounder fillets that were lightly breaded, flaky and delicious, plus oysters that were cooked to perfection it didn’t disappoint! There were plenty of clam strips that were tender and delicious. And, the local shrimp really held their own against some of the tenderest ones I’ve ever enjoyed. Large, moist and breaded to perfection! But the thing that really surprised me was the red rice and collards. I know they are local favorites, but man they hit the spot. You’d better be hungry to take on this platter! We started our meal with crab balls and hush puppies. The honey butter with the hush puppies really went well. And the crab balls were great on their own! They served a tasty sauce with them that my wife really liked, but I just enjoyed that delicious crab filling all on its own. If your ever in Charleston, this is a definite go to place for seafood! And very reasonably priced too!More

We are local to the area and this is always our seafood go to! The food is great, prices reasonable and always excellent service. The last time we ate here, Alicia was our server (she was new to us) and again, delivered excellent service just...like the others.More

Just in the area on some errands and saw this place, it looked inviting and we checked the menu. Everything looked good so we chose to eat here, Jeff was working the dining area and was very helpful. The special of the day was chicken...and shrimp Cajun pasta.....excellent! We had a hushpuppies as an appetizer and highly recommend this place!More
