Local, fresh, friendly. Go here!

Visiting the area from Texas, we needed a fresh shrimp fix. This place place delivered that and even more! The crab artichoke dip and the steamy shrimp hit the spot after a cold windy beach walk. The atmosphere is warm and the service is Carolina...friendly!! Highly recommend!! We will be back next visit for a big seafood dinner and local beer.More

If your visiting Folly, The Crab Shack is a "must go to eat there", kind of a place.

I am a local and eat at all the restaurants on the island frequently. The Crab Shack is one of my favorites. Great atmosphere and they have responded to the Covid guidelines nicely. Their food is very consistent, moderately priced, with nice size portions.

I had the best experience

I had the best experience at crab shack from beginning to end! Eric was the host, the people in line infront of us were SO rude, and Eric handled it with such grace. They were on a wait so he directed us into the raw...bar, where we met Rebecca. Another amazing employee at the Crab Shack, she made me a crippled crab and my husband a crabby monkey and they were the best drinks we’ve had in a long time. After a brief wait, we were seated and our server was Rozanna. What a rockstar, probably the best service we had on our whole vacation. She was funny, sweet, answered all of our questions, and was so attentive, even with a full restaurant. I hope she is still there on our next trip to Folly Beach, we will definitely be back!More

The best crab legs!!!

We just left from here celebrating our 15th anniversary and my first time ever at the beach. We are staying at the tides hotel and the crab shack is just a 4-5min walk. Great friendly atmosphere. Ron has a great crew there. I got the...crab leg bucket with corn and potatoes, best crab legs I've ever eaten. The wife had the crab cakes, greens and red beans and rice. She said best crab cakes and the greens were also the best. Highly recommended and WE will be back.More
