     the bar area

    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.

    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)

    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.

    Seafood Platter #2

    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!

    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

    Crabby Combo

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We liked it !!! https://direct.chownow.com/order/14698/locations/24199 Next time i'll bring saltines for My oysters ..... no bread or crackers to sop up the juices. Also will bring a crab pick to fish all that crab from the shells.

    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

The cashier had a attitude when I asked…read morefor an extra tarter sauce for the 6 pcs of fish we had just bought and was only given 2. She rolled her eyes at us and huffed like we were a bother. Let me say this, we were the only one in the restaurant and no one in the drive through, so it was not like they were busy or something. We got home to enjoy our 2 dinners or so we thought, ALL OF THE MEAL WAS NASTY AND HAD TO BE THROWN AWAY! The fish had NO TASTE and was dry like it was from the day before and left out on the counter, even though we were in the restaurant at 5pm. The fries were so hard and once again left over that they had to be thrown away as well. A huge waste of $22.00 when everything had to be throw away and we had to make dinner at home. I would give this Captain D's no stars if I could. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME STOPPING IN THIS LOCATION!

The pic doesn't show it justice but my 2 fish meal was hot and ready. The breading was just enough so it was 80% fish 20% breading. Cole slaw good, macaroni is upgraded side by $1 cheesy. Between ordering and waiting was about 10 minutes so bit long but I appreciated that food was hot and not rushed meal. We ordered from inside so if waiting in drive thru could seem like long wait. To be completely fair we used coupons that took $2 off ea meal so paid about $12 for both, very affordable for quick fish.

We've…read morepassed Michael D'z BBQ every time on our way to and from Bucees in Florence, SC and every time we say 'next time we're stopping there'. Well today, 4 years later of saying that, we stopped. It's a small 'food truck' (but it doesn't move from this spot), and I believe the smoker in the front is where eveything is made. The smell is unmistakeable and you can take it to go or eat inside a covered area that has booths and even a pool table. They sell farm fresh eggs and other various produce, flavored honeys and bottle of bbq sauce. What we ordered.. 1/2 rack ribs - don't even know where to start with how tender, fall of the bone the ribs were, with a perfectly spicy bbq sauce 1/2 lb sliced brisket - this is their best seller and my lord, I entirely understand why 1/2 chicken - hubs loves chicken and this was like a mutant because it was gigantic and not overly smokey, but just right dipped in the rib sauce A small container of potato salad - had I known how truly delicious this was going to be, I'd definitely have gone bigger. Next time!! It was a tad sweet but balanced perfectly with relish. I have no problem traveling for quality.. this spot is about 1.5 hours away from Myrtle beach where we stay, and worth every minute of the drive. Best of all, I got to meet Mike!! He's a southern gentleman, a blast to chat with and I cant wait to go back. If you're traveling south on 95 through SC, it's a couple miles off the Bucees exit, I suggest you take the detour and give it a try!!!!
