The shrimp boil tasted ok. The sauce was not as thick as I desired it to be. It did not satisfy my craving, but I was happy to discover a Tasty Crab location in Florence, SC. Service was average, and the ambience resembled an established crab house. I'm willing to return to try a different menu item in the future. read more

Yesterday February 2 2026 I decided to try Tasty Crab House in Florence Based on the decent reviews I ordered the fried catfish but it didnt seem like catfish The wings were good with their sauce but the biggest issue was with the seafood steam bag I ordered crab lobster and shrimp added extra crab clusters shrimp and lobster and asked for garlic butter with lemon pepper Instead I received Cajun butter It was not good and not what I paid for After spending 165 the meal was disappointing I got it to go so I didnt notice the mistake until I got home It ended up being a waste of money inedible and thrown away For the price you would think they would make sure the order was correct I understand mistakes happen but I live 20 minutes away and didnt want to drive another 40 minutes to fix it after a long day The food was hot and the portion was good but that didnt matter since I couldnt enjoy it I am writing this review to remind others please check your order before you leave or you could be wasting your money like I did I have lost trust in this place Whats the point of leaving a tip if the staff doesnt double check the order This mistake passed through the cooks the person who packed it and the one who handed it to me read more

If you're craving boiled seafood, this spot is a must! The snow crab was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right and so easy to crack into. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying, but the snow crab truly stole the show. On top of the food, the customer service was excellent...friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. After stuffing our faces and filling our bellies, it was nice to be able to walk it off since the restaurant is connected to the mall. Between the amazing food, great service, and convenient location, this place checked all the boxes. We'll definitely be back! read more

Tasty Crab House -- Florence - Seafood Overload Juicy Box Seafood Overload Juicy Box Seafood Pasta - Seafood Near Me - Florence, South Carolina

I've been here on multiple occasions & have never been disappointed. Carrying all the seafood standards--shrimp, crab, lobster, oysters, etc.--and even options not seen quite as often (green mussels anyone?), Tasty Crab's menu has something for a broad array of palates. My go-to shrimp bag in big bang sauce never misses. Jumbo shrimp cooked to tender perfection, with just the right amount of sauce, and accompanied by potatoes & corn. Pro Tip: Be prepared to take some of your meal home & know that your leftovers will heat just fine. read more

Very roomy for large parties! The decor is sea like and I'm not sure of the writing everywhere. Service was quick and any questions were answered. Overall the food is okay, not many customizable options like other places. Shrimp was good ( they give you a hefty amount) read more

Lot of good reviews about this place on Yelp, had to check it out finally. I guess I'm not used to these crab prices but it's probably on par w how much it cost, for $52 it was probably a favorable portion. This was a take out order as restaurant was near closing. My wife got crab, shrimp, corn bag w a garlic spice sauce I believe. It was fine, but not something to be had as regular meal often. Buffets in Myrtle Beach have similar pricing for all you can eat, but to spare the drive this is closer option. read more

The restaurant had an A rating thankfully or we probably wouldn't have gone in. Looks were deceiving. There was writing on every space you could put a word. The food was absolutely delicious! Service was wonderful. Staff is very friendly. Would go back. read more

The service was a 5 out of 10.We got the Crabby Compo for 124 dollars which which easily fed 3 to 4 big hungry people. Very delicious .We ate in the restaurant. We had to beg for crackers to open Crab legs with and the server brings 1 for 3 people, so we chased her down in a basically empty restaurant for more and she said she had to see if she could find more. We only get PLASTIC FORKS they don't have real forks to pick the meat out. It's going to be take out next time. The walls were covered in graffiti, virtually including the front door, windows. Overall it is mostly take out or bring your own crackers, forks and pickers. VERY DELICIOUS FOOD read more

As far as the food, it was great, good potion size too. We had the Crabby Combo for $125. First off plastic forks don't work with crab legs and we had to ask for crackers, only to be told I'll see if I can track a pair down for you. All in all a good meal but a lot of work without the proper utensils. I can imagine a few crackers a forks would get thrown away. But you have a crabshack that you have to ask for crackers, I mean come on. read more

Enjoyed the Seafood Platter 2. The green muscles were plumped and delicious mixed in with the nice sized shrimp, tender potatoes hard boiled egg, and corn cob. My sauce was garlic and butter in medium heat. The spicy sauce was delicious. It gave the meal a very good taste topped off with a glass of moscato. Kayla our waitress was straight on point. She was very attentive and helped in selection of what we wanted to eat. Whenever I'm back in Florence SC , I will return! read more

Stopped in Florence for a night while traveling. Wanted something seafood. While this may not be the Northern seafood we're used to (real watery and clean) this was so so delicious. The Big Bang sauce was amazing, I was dipping my hush puppies, potatoes, and corn into it! Nice atmosphere too, good music playing and lights were different than other venues. The staff was also very pleasant. All college aged kids, very friendly and helpful. If you're looking for something to eat in Florence, SC - and you don't mind getting a little messy - this is your place! Just remember to wear your bib read more

Tasty Crab House -- Florence - A. Shrimp with No Head in Big Bang sauce - Seafood Near Me - Florence, South Carolina

Food was mediocre at best. Calamari was rubbery. Crabs were indeed not fresh but the combo was a good size. Drinks were warm (Arnold Palmer). Food came out pretty quickly. The hostess doubled as a server but was very pleasant and helpful. The location and atmosphere was loud, plain and seemed sketchy with people lingering around. read more

Food was outstanding. Worth going out of our way for! The seafood chili and fried oysters were perfectly prepared. Staff was very friendly as well. read more

It was overly expensive for what we got, the service was not good at all. Spent $102 for 2 crab legs and a pound of shrimp, pound of sausage, maybe 4 pieces of corn and 4 or 5 potatoes. Was definitely not worth the money. Crab legs were also cold. read more

I visited with my parents for lunch. We opted for the Crabby Combo, which consisted of crag legs, shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes, and eggs. The food arrived quickly. It was a feast! Definitely more food than we could eat. One negative is that the crab legs and shrimp weren't hot. The rest of the food was though. Overall, the food was good. They provide gloves, bibs, buckets, and wet wipes because it does get messy! Our waitress was friendly, not very attentive. It's located in a plaza so there's plenty of parking. read more

We were visiting family in Florence and they wanted us to check out their new crab place. The walls were pretty cool. Every customer could sign their name or put a quote on the walls, blinds, doors and tables. The staff was fairly new and it took a while to receive our food and drinks. Unfortunately, our waitress messed up our order several times. Partly, because she didn't write it down and reliyed on her memory. We all ordered the seafood combo with lobster, shrimp, crablegs, corn, potatoes and eggs. The only difference was some added mussels, extra eggs and mild or spicy sauce. We also ordered the fried oysters as an appetizer and it came out after we had already finished our meal. The seafood was just okay for me this evening but my family said it wasn't their best experience here. read more

Not much I can really say about the place. Overall ambience of the place was pretty chill. No issues there. I ate at the bar with fairly comfortable seats. Plenty of seating at the tables but was routed to the bar since I was the only one in my party. Waitresses was nice and helpful. Great Team effort. Prices: For SC the prices seem a little high for the quality in the food. New renovations in the area has allowed the prices to go under looked but that maybe because of the people they are looking to attract. Food: Okay - I get the whole bag situation for a to go order but really should go to big serving bowls that way your sleeve isn't in sauce on the side of the bag. Honestly, understand for clean up purposes but overall not the best thing for the customer eating in. Customer Service: Waitresses and staff was great. They accommodated the no potatoes order and when my waitress was occupied seating another group the other waitress without attitude helped to obtain me a lemonade. Which is rare in some establishments. On Tuesday night it was pretty quiet so I got to enjoy the food without people watching my face smothered in sauce lol but a few tweaks and I think I would come back for a seafood lunch or boil read more

We stopped here for dinner on the way home. You can pick different combos of shrimp and crab boils. There is paper on the table and they provide bibs and gloves. We shared a shrimp and snow crab combo which also had 2 potatoes and 1 corn. We got mild Cajun but would definitely bump it up to the next level. It comes out in a plastic bag, and a bucket to throw the shells in is provided. Mariah was our server and was friendly and checked on us often. The moscato was good, too, what a fun place! read more

Some of the best seafood I've had in a long time,and you definitely get your moneys worth.

Tried this place yesterday and it disappointed. My husband ordered the crawfish and it was gross. I had the snow crab legs and it was so basic. The fried shrimp were good though and the food is fresh and hot. It just wasn't great read more

The food was prepared well and it was super tasty great customer service, friendly staff and great location

I ordered the seafood pasta plate and it was very good. service was quick and friendly.

While visiting my family in S. Carolina, we visited Tasty Crab for dinner( belated Mother's Day meal)one night. The restaurant was clean, not crowded and actively sanitized all patron touch areas. Our meals consisted of Seafood Sampler #1/#2, Shrimp basket, Fried Crab basket, Calamari appetizer and ice cold sweet tea. The seafood was fresh, properly cooked and beautifully served! Everything tasted great! All staff were polite and practicing Covid-19 precautions. Definitely recommend Tasty Crab for your dining pleasure!

Greasy and expensive. Plastic silverware -and food served in styrofoam container...says it all.

The fried catfish basket was delicious with 4 thick pieces of flaky fish each about the size of a cell phone. The fried shrimp basket was also tasty with 8 large butterflied shrimp. Both orders came with generous servings of french fries. We had the sweet potato fries and the cajun fries. The order was ready for take out in ten minutes and was hot and not at all greasy. Remember to request sauces or lemon slices as well as salt and pepper and napkins. A tasty meal and reasonably priced. read more

I ordered the medium spiced Shrimp w/o heads and green muscles combo with .5lb sausages and big bang seasoning. my total was around $46-$47 which was a very good price for the amount of food i got. It took about 45 minutes from me ordering to getting my food (call in order). The food was so fresh and hot. The staff was so friendly and pleasant, I felt so welcomed entering.

The food is good. I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes seafood. I normally get mines to go.

We stopped here in the middle of a 16-hour drive home. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm so glad we chose The Tasty Crab House. The food here is AMAZING!!!! The steamed shrimp and the Cajun rice were soooo tasty and the portions were huge. I've only had Cajun food a handful of times before but after eating here I can safely say that I'm now a convert Our waitress Courtney was particularly sweet. She helped us decide what to try on the menu, checked on us regularly, and brought us everything we needed. She made our dining experience an absolute pleasure. read more

There server were very patient and nice. The food is insane, they also do birthday celebration. Love this crab house so much

Wow! Look closely at the menu prices before you go! I just looked at the Yelp reviews and pictures. They looked great so I went. The prices are insanely high and do not match the decor. The first item on the menu is $115, the next $58. The few items that were reasonable were catfish and shrimp. They didn't offer any kind of fish sandwich besides the catfish. The drinks are served in paper cups and the decor has lots of graffiti. We ended up leaving and just paid for our drinks. The waitress was an angel. read more

Food was awesome & service was great! We had the fried shrimp platter & the shrimp were large & the batter was yummy!

Great food! The bang bang sauce is delicious, the shrimp and crab legs are cooked perfectly cooked so I was able to pull the meat out with no problem. The sweet potato fries!! Wow wow wow. They taste great hot or cold. Amazing! read more
