Quiet inside because they were not busy. They have both tables and booths. The clam chowder was hot and a little peppery. A little less pepper would have been better. The fish was hot and had to cool a bit the eat it. The service was great. The server kept the drinks full and check on us multiple times. If you want good service and decent food, try them out. read more

Only place in Aiken for seafood. We have tried all the other places and the food is nasty. This place is the only place that we will eat seafood in Aiken.

I give them a five star all around the food is great. The staff is amazing and reasonably priced read more

The food was incredible! Had the black mussels, shrimp, crab leg with potatoes, corn and egg. Service was prompt! Will return

I went here Saturday to get me a crab boil. I got the king crab boil add a half a pound of sausage. I got the garlic butter and the medium heat I didn't feel the medium heat or too much garlic it was just all a bunch of butter but it was still pretty good I could tell they try to dump some type of seasoning in it but didn't mix it up real well. But it was still good they gave me plenty of king crab plenty of shrimp only one egg and a couple of potatoes I would have preferred two eggs and less potatoes. My waitress was great the experience was great I feel like the price was on point for what I ordered at what's these places gave you garlic bread and sold draft beers read more

Wish I could leave negative stars, party of 11, were told they couldn't accommodate at one big table. We said fine could you split us into 3 booths, the young lady at the front said no they were all reserved. Asked again, you telling me all your booths are reserved, she then said well no but she couldn't seat our party. She went to get the manager, I explained we are a party of 11 and we understand you can't seat us together but could we split into 2/3 different booths paying 2/3 different checks at each booth so as to not cause confusion. She said no because she is busy and needs me them for customers and she couldn't have us taking up all her booths, to which I explained that we were paying customers too, she said because we came in as a party, we could step outside and come in 4 at a time instead and they would seat us at booths, at this point we left because there was now a line and waiting time, make it make sense ? read more

Food was great but the loud inappropriate rap was hard to enjoy this time. I don't want to hear "shake that @&$" and the N word and just came from Church. read more

You get SO much food! For the price it can't be beat y'all AND it's good too! The catfish dinner comes with 4 pcs of fish and enough fries for a family. lol Don't bother with the coleslaw though. read more

Service was quick and we ordered beers and they came very cold. We ordered a shrimp basket and a low country boil of a pound of headless shrimp, extra corn with the Tasty Seasoning Medium. Very good service I asked for an extra plate to pour my boil out on to a plate and it was no problem. I ask on next visit if I could tip kitchen staff and get my shrimp peeled in advance the kitchen said yes! bibs and gloves are supplied so you can walk out clean. read more

Delicious, nice portions, all at a fair price! Highly recommended!! Drinks are a little pricey, but they definitely make up for it with the food! read more

The pictures of this place did it no justice. The ambiance was much better than I anticipated. Once you get inside the service was great. Akeem waited on us and even made suggestions about what food to order. I got the all day special S3 and OMG it was absolutely delicious!!! with the Tasty Special seasoning. Every penny I paid for my meal was worth it! I will be back again. read more

We came in on a Wednesday night. We were seated immediately and the waitress came over shortly. We both ordered combos - I had 1/2 pound shrimp and 1/2 pound crab legs (1 cluster). It came with 1 egg, a load of sausage (could have been cooked more in my opinion) and 2 potatoes and 1 corn for 32.00. I did medium with tasty special. Which was surprisingly a little spicier than I expected. Flavor was good though the potatoes didn't have a bit. Crab legs were good and cooked well as were the shrimp. We ordered drinks as well -I got the margarita and it was nice and strong!! They also had st Patrick drink specials which was cool. I'd try them out again. read more

Ok the food was alright but I had to shit my brains out when we got home and we came for a family dinner and a little friend came to visit it. A cockroach. The food is good if you are willing to having to shit so much. read more

This was something new for us! The seafood came in a big old plastic bag that was full of air (I'm not doing this justice by trying to describe it). The flavor was on point. Even the sides were amazing. The service was ... lacking a bit. She couldn't answer simple questions like "is it the whole crab or only the legs?" So we just winged it and hoped for the best. We will be back again and hopefully a different server who can guide us a bit more! Overall, a very nice time and we recommend trying it out! read more

We have eaten here numerous times. Brought family. The boil are great the fried shrimp and catfish too. I would recommend the Bob Marley from the bar. Very colorful and tasty and they don't skimp on ingredients. Always have had great service. Enjoy the fun atmosphere or a quiet booth to talk read more

I ate here twice while in Aiken, the food was good! My biggest complaint was how horrible the bathroom smelled. The smell was so bad I almost wanted to go to Kroger to use the restroom. The bartender were nice and the drinks were good. read more

Terrible food. Sry I honestly don't know how they stay in business. Extremely over priced for what you get. Best thing they have is chicken tenders. I've tried this place about 6-7 times. Never satisfied. read more

Had a terrible experience here on 4/28/25 for my babygirl birthday. The waitress first off told us his name was Bill when actually it's Kelvin..he was very nasty off rip .had everyone uneasy..he then was very unprofessional cursing around us when the other waitress would tell him about a party coming to his tables.. read more

We had been waiting for them to open and were surprised when someone said they opened today so we decided to go for dinner. There were a lot of cars in the parking lot so we thought there might be a wait but, we were seated immediately which was nice. The place was very clean and spacious. Our waitress was very nice when she took our order. The menu was good and the prices were reasonable. Here's where we take a little turn. It took about an hour for us to get our food, the waitress never came to check on us or bring us refills even though our cups were empty. We saw numerous people get up and leave before they got their food because the wait was so long. When we finally got our food, the waitress noticed our cups and said she would bring us refills. Thank goodness because we needed them but also my mom is supposed to drink something with every bite of food due to a medical issue she has. We ate and enjoyed our food. It was hot and seasoned very well. We were about done eating and still no drinks. I asked the waitress when she was walking by and she said ok. We waited and waited. She passed by us a couple more times and still no drinks. I stopped her another time and she said" they didn't bring your drinks?" I'm not sure who "they" were but, I assured her nobody had brought our drinks and we hadn't had any refills since we got there. She immediately brought our drinks and then our check. Nice place, good parking, very good food at reasonable prices but, the service needs some work. It wasn't packed & there were plenty of floor staff so there was no reason why each table shouldn't have been attended to in a timely matter or had empty cups. read more

Not only was the service slow, my waitress kept forgetting the 3 things we needed. When it was time to pay I let her know I would be splitting payment with cash and card. She tried to keep the cash for herself (as she put the cash up) and kept swiping my card for the full amount. When I noticed her attitude, I had to have someone else explain to her that she was supposed to be splitting the payment. On top of the that the food was bland read more

This establishment is a fairly new business in the Aiken community and I tried their shrimp with heads removed with corn on the cob and potatoes (all in a bag, which was sealed). I chose the mild seasoning with garlic which was very good. The crab or lobster bisque was also ordered and was especially good. The staff was friendly and attentive enough to receive a nice tip at the end of this meal. I would have liked to have gotten a Louisiana crawfish dish, but this was not offered on the menu. This was why I choose to rate the place four stars instead of five. Still, I believe you will enjoy the Tasty Crab House which is located behind the Kroger grocery store on Whiskey Road. read more

Opened during the pandemic it's a very large restaurant that could accommodate large parties. However we've only had appetizers off the menu as we left and didn't stay for dinner. The entire menu has only fried menu options in addition to crab which was very pricey. When I asked if they could do any of the fish options grilled or blackened we were told that wasn't an option. The service is slow and the overall ambience is lacking. For appetizers and drinks or to accommodate a large party this place would work but other than that I can't recommend much else. read more

Service great- the best catfish I've had in fifty years! Everything was delicious. The best y'all !

Having grown up in Houston, Texas, eating crawfish is something I've done so my life. But I've never really found decent crawfish outside of z Texas or Louisiana. And this place certainly doesn't change my mind. I was there in February 2023, one of the beginning months of prime crawfish season. So I was disappointed to be served crawfish no bigger than the size of my litter finger (even if I have big hands). The crawfish were way overlooked and were hard and rubbery. The sausage I paid extra to have added was sliced into individual thin coins ensuring that any flavor they had was boiled out of them. The potatoes and corn were decent. But I've never seen anyone overcook those items. 3 stars because at least they tried. Crawfish is unusual to find here. But they could do a better job. First, cut the sausage into 4" long fingers, not slices. Second, crawfish cooks in only a few minutes, not 15 minutes or more. read more

Service was extremely slow. Based on the wait food should have been better tasting. The manager was doing to much socializing with people that it seemed like she knew. read more

The food was good but much more expensive than the equivalent elsewhere. Service and ambience needs work for the price. Feels like it is constantly on the verge of shutting down. read more

Tasty Crab House - Fried Soft Crab with fries - Seafood Near Me - Aiken, South Carolina

Arrived at 4:30pm on Thursday afternoon, 2/3/22, and was seated at booth, as requested. Order for drinks taken quickly by Kla, our service staff. When drinks were delivered we ordered 1 fried catfish basket with cajun fries, hush puppies, and sweet tea....and 1 fried calamari basket with sweet potato fries and water...then, the waiting began...35 minutes later Kla came by to apologize for slow delivery of food. It was another 10 minutes before the food arrived,...with no eating utensils, and we had to ask for ketchup...another 10 minute before utensils and ketchup arrived. All the food items were delivered at a warm, not hot, temperature, and everything was overly greasy, even the hush puppies! There was practically no taste at all in the catfish, and the calamari was the same. French fries were flaccid, with not much flavor at all. The hush puppies only hinted at the real taste of a hush puppy. The sweet tea was not very sweet at all, and I was never asked if I wanted a refill. Although we understand that this is the first week of the restaurant being open, the service was very, very slow, and the quality of the food no better than any fast-food drive through. We were very disappointed in the quality of the food for the price we paid. We also observed a lot of the staff standing around in the dining area chatting with each other as customers were waiting for service. Our server appeared very busy trying to keep up with orders and bringing food & drink items to tables. She was working hard, but the wait for the delivery of food items to the table was unacceptable. Total cost for our meal was $39...We tipped 20% due to the hard work of our server, not because of the quality of the food or speed of service. Perhaps the higher-priced items on the menu are of better quality, but if the slowness of the food delivery doesn't improve with the higher-priced item, don't waste your time and money here! I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone interested in getting a good meal at a fair price. The meals we received were not acceptable at any price! read more

I heard they were having issues opening week, so I held off u til they had a few weeks to work out the bumps. I was very impressed! We were seated immediatelly and drinks came within minutes. We ordered steamed green mussels and crayfish with Cajun, garlic butter, lemon butter and hot seasoning. Our order arrived in 10 minutrs and our hostess kept our drinks filled. I even asked for replacement crayfish as I had 4 out of a dozen with head only. She replaced them immediately with no issues and an apology. It was messy but tasty. I definitely recommend the bib provided. Very reasonably priced. I will be back! read more

Really great seafood restaurant hidden away in Aiken. Food was really excellent. Rye provided excellent service. We ordered Shrimp Fried Rice, Fried Oysters, Fried Shrimp and Fried Catfish. The batter on everything was really light and tasty. There was no heavy oil taste. Nothing was extra salty. The food came out fast and at the perfect temperature. Our family will be returning often. read more

This wasn't the first time eating here but may very well be the last. Our party of four was seated with menus and we waited. And we waited. It was about 7:30 on a Thursday evening and not crowded at all. There seemed to be no shortage of servers, just a shortage of competent, "interested in doing my job" servers. We waited about of ten minutes without even a drink order being taken. You know the feeling you get when you are sure you're being ignored? We reached that point. We got up and walked out. See ya! Had a great meal with great service at the "A"restaurant up the road. read more

Very pleasant atmosphere and friendly service! Monte was as sweet as could be. All of the food was fresh and very well prepared.

The food was ok but by no means outstanding. I ordered fried shrimp because the menu was pretty limited and was rather disappointed when I was told that there would be a $4.50 charge to swap french fries for broccoli. I'm a diabetic on strict low carb diet and french fries are definitely NOT low carb. This type of accommodation is something that any good restaurant would happily do but not here. The price point is high and the cost for value is terrible. I won't be back unless they do quite a bit of changing. read more

Amazingly delicious. I'm from Louisiana and this is the closest I've ever had to a Louisiana boil. Super tasty and well spiced. The garlic butter is amazing and so is choosing your spice level. We will definitely be back here! read more

Needs to be closed. We went for a quick afternoon meal where we were then met by HORRIBLE service and lack of a bar??? (They have no liquor license) First let's start by coming in the door where we stood for 5+ minutes waiting on a hostess.... During that time most of the staff was just standing around looking at one another. Finally what they consider a hostess walked up with absolutely no professionalism and basically said "what chall need".... Unreal. So we were sat and waited and waited and waited so we we got up and left. The place is dirty, the staff hired should all be fired, they need to figure out the liquor license, and it needs to be redone so it doesn't have such a chain store feel to it. Aiken we can do better than this, get rid of it and the people working there. read more
