I has the snow crab & it was great & my waitress was cool! If you love chocolate , get the Creek Mud Cake for desert . Don't forget to check out the gator lagoon, the bird shack & other great stuff!

Get the Sampler Platter for 1. It's enough to feed 2 people! Came out 2 minutes after we ordered it too.

Jesse Houwing

The crab shack's sea food is just delicious! Deviled crab , dungenous crabs ... All yum! Unfortunately my wife's choices (non-fiction) were very limited and clearly no specialty of the house.

Wonderful ambience and delicious foods. Love that you are dog friendly too.

Ray Morin

Seafood platter is huge, 4 can't usually finish the platter for 3!!! Cool place for tourists because of the ocean atmosphere and alligators everywhere

Erickar Millonte

I ordered the shrimp salad plate. It was really good and the best cole slaw I've ever had in a restaurant !

Olga Reyes

My husband and I shared the sample. It was awesome. What I loved the most was the service we got from Desiree. She was so wonderful and jolly. Awesome place to go!!!!

Jo Wilson

Large casual restaurant . Great ambience outside. Seafood platters are perfect for tasting all the menu has to offer. 1 person platter is enough for 2 people.

Ana West

So delicious! Had a great view for dinner and although the fireworks weren’t part of the course they were a great addition to my romantic dinner .

Mik Vance

The sampler plate is amazing and you can order different sizes. Wait time can be long, so go enjoy a beer at the bar and relax. Life isn't a race :)

Lawrence Gladsden

ate there about 3 years ago. cole slaw was incredible. So I bought a quart, and ended up eating it all on the drive back to the hotel . I need the recipe.

Sharone Rio

Get the sampler, it's worth it. We got the 2nd largest, for 4 big people and 2 little ones. Plus appetizer . Perfect amount, no complaints

Nicole

Sampler platter for 4 FTW- so good! Amazing sausage - sweet shrimp & crab - try the yummy jerk sauce on mussels !

M B

So fun! You can feed alligators at the front of the restaurant and then enjoy UNfried seafood at the restaurant . It's all steamed, or boiled and DEELISH!

Paul Dunn

Sampler is the signature dish. Portions are generous indeed. A sampler "for 2" could feed 3-4 normal-sized people. Restrooms are unisex, and prone to malfunctions. Check out the gift shop & birds.

LANE GROSSER

Cats are everywhere! All kinds. They walk the premises as if it's their home and don't bother anyone nor jump on tables. Cats are seen all over the island - at the Lighthouse , too!

Karen

Boiled Shrimp ... Crab Shack Stew .. Corn on the Corn .. Yum.. And Pirate fans.. Raise the Jolly Roger.. Magic number is 2

LANE GROSSER

Be ready to get your face, hands, and lap dirty with the seafood sampler ! Get the sampler for one to share - it's the perfect amount for two!

Lori S

Order the crab legs - truly THE BEST I have ever had!! Ask for Destree, she was very patient (even with our 4 kids), thorough and took great care of us!

Charlene Hannah

Delicious food and an awesome atmosphere! We had a party of 5 and ordered the sampler for 4 and had plenty of food leftover.

Matthew Hornback

Get the seafood sampler platter and order for one less person than is in your party, unless you're all absolutely starving. The bbq is only ok and just there for people that can't handle the seafood .

Ophelia Livingston

The food was fabulous. Get the sampler platter or the Alaskan King Crab .

Sarah K.

Peel & eat shrimp were hit or miss - ours ranged from good to squishy to rubber. Deviled crab inedible. However, the crab legs (snow & Alaskan king) were good. Fun if not an exceptional experience.

Tiffany Gonzalez

Their deviled crab is delicious!!! They have crocodiles outside too!

Daniel Sullins

The best place to eat on Tybee Island. Even if the best directions to give is "Turn Right near mile marker three, down the dirt road ."

Ben Battell

Seafood sampler is a must as everyone else has mentioned but don't miss out on the incredible pecan pie

Sierra Baldwin

Seafood sampler defiantly the best. It feeds 4-5 depending in how hungry you are !

Morgan Anderson

Sampler Platter ! Make sure to check out the gift shop to buy their seasoning & to see the birds.

Cincy Jen

Great atmosphere as long as you don't want to eat. Cats roaming everywhere, birdhouse aroma & unisex bathrooms -bleh. Combined with awkward service & hour wait for our food, good times.What a let down

Peter Fasano

Try the Fresh Seafood Platter - A lot of everything. The platter serves two more people than stated ...perfection!

Shea deStefano

Love the seafood boil, we always make a trip here every time we come to Tybee

Sherry Mongold

Seafood sampler was awesome!!!! This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Tybee !!!

“Where the elite eat in their bare feet!” The Crab Shack presents… The Very Best Buffet . Seafood served boiled, steamed or raw… Lowcountry style at the Water’s edge.

J.C. Bowman

Awesome place. Great fresh shrimp and Crab . Highly recommended. Feed the gators .

Christian Kuehne

Great place. Good seafood , great portions and great view

Kira Lord

Seafood sampler was delicious. Definitely a lot of food but so worth it.

Wendy Darling

The half & half is great. Half crab , half shrimp , all delicious.

D D

We only waited 15 and got seated at 2:06 pm on a Saturday. Knew what we wanted so ordered then. Food finally came at 3:00 pm.

Nick Montalto

I think we are out of season. The crawfish was terroble. It tasted like it was frozen then thawed. Snow crab , shrimp , corn etc was fine. Smaller crab was brittle so i cant tell how fresh it was.

Karen Holder Ronfeldt

If it is your first time, definitealy order the specialty platter (aka.. the sampler platter .)

Mitzi Stallard

Great atmosphere, really good food and feeding the gators is lotsa fun!

Linda Martin

Crab shack is a great place to ride your Harley to and sit out side and kick back and eat some good Sea food .

Michelle Crist

Best meal of our entire weekend. Gosh it was good!!! And that darned Pina Colada was rockin!!!

Jerry Ragan

Five stars. Great service and food.

Kat Morris

The BBQ pulled pork sandwich is the best ever!! Also get smashed taters with cheese on top!!

ALESHA BELL

Get the banana mudslide cocktail and the low country boil -amazing!

Katie A.

You can feed the alligators and there is an exotic bird section in the giftshop! The cat shack is probably the cutest thing there though!

Clay Chastain

If you're a hungry adult male, the platter sizes make sense. Otherwise you'll be fine splitting the two three ways.
