Great friendly service and fantastic food! The view is an added bonus! The flame broiled steak was to die for. Definitely going back!

Really cool place off 95. Everything was so great! The service was so efficient, polite and great recommendations. Had the crab soup and fried oysters to start- both so fresh and delicious. For a main I had the best grouper I have ever had... I've eaten a lot of grouper- the crust of this was sooooo amazing. Had okra & tomatoes and cream of corn (could have been my dessert so good) as my sides. My boyfriend had shrimp tacos- so simple and fresh!! Definitely will stop back. read more

The view is beautiful and deserves 5 stars. The menu is very limited and expensive. Only fish, shrimp, and oysters are available. The food is mediocre at best. The spicy garlic shrimp appetizer is $14, bland, horrible presentation and I had to peel them which was unexpected. The Buffalo shrimp appetizer was $13, tastes like regular Buffalo sauce bought from a grocery store. The shrimp quesadilla was the best appetizer of the three and it was $14. I ordered the fish platter with fries. I think it was $13.... the fries were fresh peeled potatoes no seasoning added but tasty. The fish was fresh and lightly fried but no flavor. The sweet tea tasted as if tea leaves or tea bags were missing... more of a flavored water with a hint of tea. The location is in a desolate area but the view is amazing. There is no inside space to eat. The patio area overlooks the water and there are pull down plastic shades. Luckily it was evening and the night was cool but I couldn't imagine dining there in the heat it would be miserable. The waitress was really nice and helpful to everyone in our group. We occupied two tables and were told by an employee who ran out of the kitchen that we could not move the tables together sad we started to move them.... not sure why not unless it would be a fire hazard to do so. read more

So I wait 2 hours for a table. Once seated ask for their signature crab bucket and they are out of crab... the Crab Company, our of crab. That's how bad the service is. read more

Always a great time. Nice staff and great view. Being able to dock at a restaurant is always a plus

So amazing! Everything tasted so good! Dexter killed it! Did not see it coming! We will be back!!!

First time visit on Friday evening. Suggested you call ahead as it got really busy. We ordered the buffalo shrimp as an appetizer. It was similar to "bang bang" shrimp I've had before from other places. I ordered the salmon special and it was phenomenal. Good sized portion of fish, not your standard 2" strip. The salmon had a teriyaki glaze on it and was accompanied by a honey mustard wasabi sauce that was outstanding. I highly recommend coming for the food and the view won't disappoint either. read more

The food and service was great, The menu has changed since I ate there last. My mouth was watering for the stacked...i.e. Mai hi Mai hi, crab cake, scallops and shrimp with blacken sauce. However, my friend shrimp and oysters, with cole slaw. Okra and tomatoes was awesome. I actually sold the owners a Honda Ridgeline truck about 12 or 13 years ago. Will go back soon. read more

Ate here yesterday with friends...waited only about 15 minutes because we put ourselves on the "waitlist" 2 hours earlier. Got a prime table looking out over the beautiful river/marsh view! The waiter was attentive but not pushy, great service! The food was wonderful! Fried shrimp and oysters, slaw, garlic mashed potatoes and fries that made my friend's eyes roll!! Overall a great time...will definitely return! read more

Exceptional food, fantastic view & prompt service equates to a great family evening. We had Crab Stew, Fried Shrimp & Grilled Grouper and it was delicious! This is a hidden gem along the coast of Midway and certainly worth the short drive from I-95. read more

Oh let me count the many Foodie ways that this place enchants the ever sojourning Foodie Agent's soul! First, and Foodie foremost, before you even get to the food and service, the location's view will leave you breathless, especially if serening this place in sunset mode. Mein Gott! For those that know the beauty of the waterways, marshes and inlets of The Low Country South, even you will be impressed by the partially open, and perfectly elevated balcony high above the river system. Its more like treehouse meets observation deck. Which is incredibly important to note about the area, because, strangely, such views are sorely lacking all along the coastline. Some places are "near the water", or "on the water," but often just at eye level. Here we have an even more distinct property, due to its brilliant situation well above the landscape and higher than your typical waterway restaurant! In fact, by this Foodie Agent's count, I will boast that it has no area equal in terms of waterway setting! I honestly felt like I was dining on the edge of heaven and because the food & service were also of excellence, I'm dubbing Sunbury Crab Co a Foodie Shrine. Now, let's study the service. For those like myself, whom have observed overall customer service, in major decline, this place will restore your faith. Smiles, friendliness and keen observance by each level of employee to your table's needs, garner this place high marks on the Foodie Agent's roster. So many local places suffer from resting on the laurels of being just there for their locals, but Sunbury Crab Co cannot be accused of this lazy crime. I've been accustomed to similar "crab shacks" where even if tourists are a regular, they fail miserably in service consistency. Here, even the high school kid with the busing or expediting job, was involved in the table's requirements and did more than just the obligatory effort. Even though we had one waitress who was as much waitress as she was entertainment, my fellow Foodie Agents and I felt we were in the hands of a thoughtful team effort. Was it just organic Southern Hospitality in action or does it point to higher education of management? Probably the latter, and yes, if it feels organic, or ideally, "effortless", it points to detail education and all the greater of an establishment. Ok, I know, I know, tell you about the food! Fresh catch all around and perfectly prepared and presented is all I have to say! Sumptuous and scrumptious! Appetizers consisted of calamari, but not that usual dribble of squid ringlets alone, we were treated to a mix of squid and octopus! The presentation was fun and it looked a bit like miniature octopus ready to play ring toss! This dish was proof that it just takes a little more effort within the expected, to blaze past any competition and this happened with each and every new dish! But, but, for the same price as you would pay at other, lesser, like "crab shacks." The calamari was lightly battered, not overly fried, and served with what I'll gander to say was a spicy pepper jelly and man, along with the Bloody Marys, the combination of flavors really made it! I ordered another App Special, a sesame seed, encrusted, tuna filet served with a fresh wasabi lime sauce. And you fellow Foodies know, the gulp we all do, when ordering tuna MR on the rare side, because they'll either hit or miss it. Well, they hit it perfectly, and it was flaky, sweet, tender and although some might call it a cliche dish, not at all cliche for Low Country water side dining and was a standout. If the service, atmosphere or food had been any less, I might have found the edible flower garnish on each dish a tad over the top for the setting, but the flower felt more like a smile and a wink for the whole dining experience and I smiled in return. Another Foodie Agent ordered their fried shrimp and home fries, and once more, a home run. I was particularly impressed by the size and color of these shrimp. They were as lovely looking as the nearby sunset and knowing that they'd been netted in the same warmth of the adjoining scenery that day, just made their tender texture and buttery flavor all the more a Foodie joy. The home fries also the real deal and I'll leave it at that. The two other entrees of note were what I'll call the Holy Bucket of Crabs, and then a grilled swordfish of such proportion that it nearly made a grown Foodie weep. Before receiving the mound of blue crabs, my fellow Foodie Agent jested that they would come in a plastic bucket or less, but she gladly ate her words when the metal bucket filled to the brim arrived! My swordfish, coated in a thin sheen of pesto, melted in my mouth and later, as we walked down the connecting dock to the water's edge, we stood in the silence of our happiness, knelt and thanked the Foodie Gods for this place. Also accessible by Foodies with a boat! read more

Our server was a young guy, I wish I could remember his name. He was great! He made suggestions answered all our questions, and was checking on us just enough. We started with a half pound of steamed shrimp. They were large and fresh. Delicious! It's not a big menu, and a lot of it was fried. That would be the only negative for me. The black eyed peas I had for a side were delicious! read more

I love this restaurant very much. We go here about every day. With varieties of seafood and steak this is the place to be if you are down in the south. Plus they are open all day Sunday from noon to 8:30. They are like our family, we go there so much. You can watch ball games and on Sunday nights they even have bands! read more

Not a lot of food options and way over priced. The food portions are small and not super tasty. The parking lot is tiny. There's always a long wait time and you must wait outside which is uncomfortable with the heat and bugs. It's convenient for the area. read more

Looked forward to a break from the long drive. A bucket of crabs during crab season sounded fantastic. No crabs. ??? At a crab restaurant? We decided to settle for the bucket of oysters. No oysters. Ordered the garlic shrimp. Served hot with loads of butter and garlic. Legs on. Shell not severed up the back or even at the legs. Not deveined. We were burning our fingers trying to get the shell off. Sent back. Don't go. Calamari as a last resort. Was ok...good. read more

I love Sunbury Crab Co. The chocolate cake and fries are to die for. 4 stars because of price and the fish is hit or miss.

Wow, we were told 1 hour, finally seated after 2.5 hours. Prices were higher than I expected, quality of food was good, portions were small - staff was courteous and hardworking, but the 2.5+hour wait ruined the entire experience. The scenery only goes so far. People were walking out - management needs to figure this one out and quick. Good luck read more

Our second visit in the past year and it didn't disappoint in any way. Funky, divey, on the marsh along the river, open air, good music, great servers, and best of all, off the beaten path. Combine a visit to Ft Morris State Park for some colonial history. Food: The grouper was amazing. Others raved about the steak. The crab bucket was enough for our kiddo. Can't wait to go back again! Can get quite busy, call ahead when you're about 10 mins away and they will add you to the wait list. Then slow down and enjoy the visit and a walk out to the end of the dock. See you there! read more

We stopped by the Crab Co one night on the way to Savannah and we were pleased with what we found. Classic no frills seafood joint with greet food and friendly staff. We will definitely be back next time we are up that way. read more

The first adventure is finding the place, but once you do, it's a great experience. It's no frills, but quite tasty. I always get the bucket of crabs (with extra seasoning) and I'm a happy girl. Great view of the marsh. Nice place to bring visitors--especially since it's only about 20 min from my house. read more

The fried shrimp and fried grouper was excellent, very fresh and nicely prepared. Well worth the 10 mile ride off 95. The grouper was a special of the day and we neglected to ask the price, although maybe they should have told us the price. In FL the grouper would have been an $18 piece of fish, but it was double that. Live and learn...we're not in FL anymore!!! Always ask the price. We would come back bc the food was excellent...just maybe not for the grouper. read more

We were just in Savannah for a weekend and found this gem on yelp. It was also recommended by the owner of the house we rented for the weekend. Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! We all had shrimp it was DELICIOUS! The atmosphere, the service, the portions, were all great! Can't wait to come back! read more

If I could rate half a star, I would. Story: I made reservations on a Friday to take my parents who were down from Ohio out to dinner. We drove the boat over and docked about 20 min early and were more than happy to wait. Well, unfortunately my elderly father who was not used the this HOT Georgia heat, quickly became overheated. Once the doors were open, I told my dad to go into the bathroom and cool off in the A/C and I would go get the table and get him a glass of water. Unfortunately the rude old lady with grey hair at the hostess desk, who CLEARLY saw my father about 10 feet from me walking into the restroom, very rudely told me that she couldn't seat me because my whole party was not standing directly in front of her. She then proceeded to ignore me and started seating other guests. I pointed to my dad and told her " He is right there, 10 feet away! He needs to go cool off in the bathroom!" but she made it VERY CLEAR that the health and welfare of their customers in not important to Sunbury Crab Co. If they are obviously not worried about someones health that is right in front of them, makes me wonder how sanitary is their kitchen really is. read more

maybe we didnt order the right things. The food wasnt bad, but it sure wasnt awesome either. Mostly deep fried and not seasoned too good. It is decidedly a local haunt and in a beautiful location. Eh, maybe we will try it again someday. But we werent impressed. read more

The food was great and the scenery was memorable at this seafood bar/restaurant that is not too far from I-95 if you are traveling through. Our server was nice and helpful. Our only issues were the selections on the menu and the pricing being high. For example, they didnt have a mahi mahi sandwich but only as an entree which was $27 (ouch) and this was the 'catch of the day'. read more

My shrimp just came out with its legs and shell and it wasn't de-vained. Did they expect me to eat shrimp shit? Calamari is mediocre and the sweet spicy sauce it comes with tastes gross. Not worth the sketchy drive down a road read more

We always go here by boat. The food is so yummy and the view is amazing. The seafood is always fresh and the fries are the best I've ever had! read more

I was told it would be an hour wait I waited 2 hours. Then when I ordered the flounder and shrimp platter it was not available, but I could order a flounder platter with a fried shrimp on the side, of course it cost more. When I questioned the OWNER all I got was excuses. This place is a rip off. The food is good though, but not worth a 2 hour wait. If you choose to eat there, I suggest you check your bill carefully. read more

Love the food & drinks plus the view is beautiful. You can walk down to the dock while you are waiting. The waitresses, waiters and servers are lol very nice. We like coming in for lunch. They also sometimes have live music. Great atmosphere. read more

While traveling down I-95 we decided to get off and try something different, and is this place that. It's a little drive thru pretty much woods and fields until you dead end at the boat docks from the road we thought we were at somebodys house. But the place is great example of a seafood restaurant. Sorry to say we stopped to eat late and all the buckets of crab were already sold. So got the fried shrimp they were great just a dusting og flour and you could taste the freshness. The staff was very freindly and the service was great. We will be back hopefully early enough to try the crabs. P.S For extra enjoyment go down to the docks and see the manatees read more

Wonderful atmosphere and service; however, we found the food to be only okay. The mashed potatoes and fries were wonderful, but the fish and burger we had was definitely sub par. The fish was not cooked evenly, and the burger was cooked so long it was tough. With a very limited menu, we were hoping extra time would be placed on the main dishes. We will probably go back to give it another shot, though since everyone there was very kind. read more

We visited on Thursday night and were quite disappointed after reading all the glowing reviews on line. I do agree with the view being worth the trip, it IS very nice....as long as you don't glance sideways and look at all the junk surrounding the place. (Kind of reminiscent of Sanford & Son) especially if you walk out to their pier. But our complaint was with the food. My crab was very overcooked and I'm not even sure it was fresh that day just reheated, and my wife's fried flounder was also over cooked and extremely dry. When I mentioned this to my waitress, she appeared shocked and didn't even ask anyone in management to speak to us. Which is ok, because we were not looking for anything free, but an "I'm sorry" would have saved them this negative review...Over all it was just ok, and doubt we will ever go back. read more

Well worth the 8 mile drive off of 95. Great location on the water, really nice folks, very cool design and delicious shrimp!! Best we've had in years. read more

Lauren, our server is wonderful! We haven't even left yet and I'm leaving this review. If you want FANTASTIC food and service, this is the place to be! We were lucky enough to have been here while a band was playing....wish I could give more than 5 stars!!! read more

Cute place. Food was good. However this place is somewhat on the water which is probably awesome during the summer but during early March it was downright cold in the place. I feel they should install Windows so that in the cooler months it won't be uncomfortably cold. We went in for lunch ordered the catch of the day which was Mahi Mahi it was very good however it was pricy for lunch!!!!27.00 a piece for the fish which came w 2 sides. Once we got over that we rationalized that it was a good weekend we were on our way home and probably wouldn't frequent the place anymore. The sides of collards and black eye peas were delish. Overall a 3 but they must do something to make it comfortable in the early spring months. Waitress Halsley was sweet and customer friendly. read more

Two hour wait for a seat for 4 people (2 adults/ 2 kids). Food took another hour and was delivered warm at best. In the words of the owner "I would say I'm sorry but that would imply we did something wrong". Awesome. No clue how to address or resolve customer concerns, nor any empathy. In fact she went on to make excuses, complaining about and shifting the blame to other patrons. I've worked in the service industry all of my life. At times you have crazy busy nights and complaints come in. You resolve them by saying sorry and offering a kind gesture in return. Her lack of care and concern is the reason for the 1 star rating. We're locals and we won't be back. And she won't care. Guess it's a win-win. read more

Small portions, high prices and slow service. The shrimp are ok, and of course the crab is very good. The owners are nice folks although they have a son who has an atitude, but he mostly works on the river getting crabs. There is much better down the road in Darien and Shellman's Bluff if you look. read more

Took my parents and sister/brother in law here since my sister was craving fried shrimp. The service was great. The views were spectacular. The food was maybe a slight bit pricey for the amount but it was great shrimp. read more

I'd love to leave a review on the food, but unfortunately, I never got mine. My family and I drove an entire hour just to to eat at Sunbury Crab for Mother's Day. The service sucked. We ordered 2 appetizers for our table of 7. A half hour later, our waitress stopped by for drink refills and we asked her if the appetizers were ready yet. She looked like a deer in head lights and asked us what we ordered. She ran to the computer and ordered them and they came out about 10 min later. Then the entrees came out-- for everyone except me. I ordered blue crab because I heard it was good and I've never had it before. The waitress said mine would be right out. Then she disappeared. As the other 6 people at our table finished their dinners, we finally had another waitress get a manager for us since our waitress was MIA. The manager came over and offered to have them cooked right away, but I was not about to make the rest of my family wait even longer. I was already too frustrated at that point anyway. He said, "they'll be good in the morning" but I really don't want my first blue crab experience to be cold leftovers with a side of resentment. In their defense, they did comp my family's portion of the bill (though they still charged my brother his appetizers). I doubt I'll waste my time going there again. Just stopped by THE SHELL HOUSE on my way home and got a hot order of Alaskan Crab Legs to go. Happy Mother's Day to me. read more

This is a great restaurant! It has great seafood and good service. It's usually packed by 7:00 so I would recommend getting their around 5:30 or 6:00. They serve you fast and your waiter or waitress is always there when you need them. It's a great place for dinner! read more
