The seafood is fresh and flavorful, with generous portions that satisfy every craving. Whether enjoying a meal or exploring the unique surroundings, @crabshacktybee offers a fun and unforgettable time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a lively, one-of-a-kind dining experience! We got the captain crab plate for one and it was amazing! The crab legs were amazing! ”
“ Food came out extremely fast! We love the ambiance and seeing the gators, birds, and cats. We got the low country boil for 4 people (big thanks to the server for recommending we size down). We had more than enough left to take home. Everything was perfectly seasoned, fresh, and hot. We love the Crab Shack!!! ”
“ Amazing! Was chowing down some soup, alone and pregnant. Not sure if this is a normal occurence, but I am certainly not upset, but some desperate and single drunk guys noticed me and asked if they could buy me a drink. I immediately let them know my situation, I'm pregnant and taken, but if he wanted to practice his flirting skills or something, I could scooch over so they could have a seat. The guy was blown away by my generous offer. His friend ordered us $200 worth of seafood and we had a MF feast. Best $10 I ever spent in my life. The bartender was a literal peach as well! ”
“ Fun family stop. Various entertaining signage to read. Our waiter was super attentive. Nice sitting outside by the water. Food was tasty. Nachos, shrimp salad sandwiches, drinks all tasty. Nachos had lots of pulled pork...mmmmm. Loved the tables with all you need on a little upper level with a trash can below for easy tossing. ”
“ The crab shack a fun place to enjoy seafood. The whole place has seen better days if you look at the brochures. However the food selection was fun and delicious. Sat waterfront with razor oysters barreled in to the sand. We had a server who was efficient and kind. Toured the alligator enclosure and the different birds gave a vibe of being in the middle of a jungle. This is definitely a place I would recommend but the place is a shack in need of some love. ”
“ Loved the decor! Nice little touristy place on tybee I got to take some of my friend from Albuquerque! The food is solid and the drinks are great! I spilled mine and the waitress got me a new one! Excellent service and friendly staff! Also got my friends a Savannah trash can! Love that they got to try some Savannah delicacies! ”
“ CRAB SHACK I would rate this place was 100/10 . This place is huge! It's like your on a small island & they have a gator pond where you can see the gators. Indoor and outdoor seating . The seafood was delicious, I mean seasoned down to the bone ‼ If you ever in Savannah, GA looking for bomb seafood go check this place out. Tell them your girl Kaii sent you 40 Estill Hammock Rd, Tybee Island, GA 31328 ”
“ Gotta give credit where due. It's a "tourist trap" that delivers good food, decent prices, good drinks and service....so, 5 stars. We had done a similar meal (low country boil) earlier in our trip and this one did a MUCH better job-- better crab, solid shrimp, better on every measure. Service was solid. The place is BIG with many different areas; we were in an area with lots of kiddie arcade games-- I imagine they did that since we had a 2-year old with us, and he spent a lot of time riding the motorcycles and playing with the arcade games (he's too young to realize you can put money in them and get more!). He also enjoyed the gator pond. I give a lot of 4 stars but I'm going up on this one simply because you go expecting mediocrity, since it's such a tourist place and all, but you get a good solid seafood meal with good drinks and conveniences. ”
“ As a local we really love the crab shack although tourist also love the crab shack the location and food is great The low country boil is a favorite but the shrimp and crab dip is my overall fave item on the menu great atmosphere and a fun time for kids ”
