I was dining alone at lunch today, so I asked to be seated at the bar. Morgan was the absolute best! Even though I was driving and had water to drink instead of a cocktail, she was amazing! She asked me what type of lunch was I interested in (crab legs take time and more work, but so worth it, etc!). She made great suggestions, and truly the food was delivered in What seems like Seconds! Absolutely hands down the best crab legs that i have ever had!! read more

Was excited because the place looked fun and unique but the food was unfortunately a let down. Not sure how the boil is, but the deviled crab sandwich was just a mushy crab cake with not a lot of flavor on a dry, store-bought bun. They give you a side of thousand island-style sauce which was good. The side of mashed taters were plain potatoes with a lot of black pepper. The service was friendly and the gators were cool to see. Overall, I wish the food was better because the location and atmosphere are great! read more

So we had seen so many videos in this place and had some friends tell us about it we decided to give it a try. I'm not into seafood that much but wife is and loves boils so we decided to try it. Man we were sad we did. I'll start by saying this is a fun roadside attraction type of a place. I'm sure kids would love it. Also staff were very friendly. The food however. Well not so much. I just got a chili dog with the mashed potatoes and a cup of clam chowder. The chowder was decent not great and to be honest the chili dog was good for what it is but that's not why you go. The mashed taters were horrible. The wife got the shrimp and sausage boil with corn and potatoes. Not a lick of seasoning. The potatoes were cooked well but 0 and I mean 0 flavor. Shrimp seemed fresh but again 0 flavor. I guess they are afraid of old bay or any seasoning for that matter. The sausage was also not good at all. Not sure what kind they use but it is not good. Stop and check the place out but eat somewhere worth your money. read more

This place is all about show. It's a great for families with kids and large parties. There is a bird room with interesting unique birds and there is an alligator lagoon in which you can buy food to feed the baby gators. There are a few venue spots and the view from the outside table areas is scenic on the water. The service, however, well let's say is busy. They will take your order once, check on you once to see if you want more drinks, and then bring you the bill and state the total out loud (weird). I asked the server to take a family photo of us and it was not welcomed. The photo did not come out well so I won't post it. Overall, this is a unique spot to experience, but don't go for the food or service. read more

I'm so sorry, but there was no flavor in my shrimp boil. Potatoes had no taste and sausage was not good. Left most of my food on my plate. Husband got clam chowder and said it was okay. He also got a chilli dog because he is not a seafood person. I think this is just a tourist trap. read more

Tony and I went to our favorite restaurant on Tybee Island "The Crab Shack". We discovered this restaurant back in 2014 with Noël Teel while in Savannah & Tybee Island area. We just love the Jumble "where's waldo" chaos in the decorating of this waterfront restaurant located off Rt 80 in a residential section We ordered a Low Country Snow Crab Boil with Extra Corn. He loves the Snow Crab but I have to break it out for him! They didn't have PBR so he went with Budweiser and I drank water w lemon & lime. Definitely had a great time! Definitely love the place and will go back again! Highly recommend to everyone! read more

Always our first stop when visiting Tybee! Great atmosphere, great food, amazing staff. Plus there are parrots and alligators. What more can you ask for? read more

I begrudgingly give this restaurant three stars based solely on the ambiance. I have gone to The Crab Shack for years when I lived in the south ( have not been in three years) . I've enjoyed the seafood boil every visit. I'm not sure why but unbeknownst to us our Captain's Crab Sampler for two was completely unseasoned and could not have been more bland, and I must mention it was also served with cold sausage, cold and undercooked corn and potatoes. If my memory serves me we used to be able to choose the level of spice? I will say, our beers did manage to not be served cold however. I brought an out of town guest who had never had a seafood boil before and suffice to say he doesn't care to have another one. The ambiance did have its usual and typical pirate charm and the service was attentive. This was the only saving grace for the visit. What a shame and what a disappointment this was, but if you only want to visit a place for its cute ambiance this is your choice. read more

Family and I loved this place. The atmosphere here is super fun and it doesn't get more beachy than this place. The location is fabulous and the food is delicious. So glad we found this place! I highly recommend this place, especially if you are a tourist. It was like walking onto a movie set. read more

Lovely view, and fun things for kids, along with good drinks and Cole slaw. Yet pretty much all the food we had was some of the worst tasting slop we've had in Savannah. Wasn't a fan of a giant trash can under the table, kept getting in the way of my knees . Fast service, I'd say stick to drinks and a view. read more

First time to The Crab Shack in at least 4 years and may not go back. Having to avoid any type of shellfish at this time, which I'm not thrilled with, but trying to avoid a gout flare-up. So got a cup of brunswick stew and ribs. Ribs came with corn on the cob and slaw. Ate about half of the stew as it was wat to tomatoey (if that is a word) and the slaw was swimming in mayonnaise. Corn on the cob was good and the ribs were alright, but certainly not great. read more

Always a favorite, good food, huge portions, and a great atmosphere to chill while eating good seafood. read more

I really enjoyed this spot, I was craving seafood and saw all the signs to go. It's on the water, has decent views & a nice ambiance. The oysters were surprisingly big & tasty. The Low country boil was seasoned and they gave a lot of shrimp. Julie was very attentive and have great service. They have a Gator area where you can feed or just look at the gators it's a pretty cool spot. read more

If the overall vibes didn't bring you here, the food will! The goal was crab legs and we found this place. You pull in and it looks like a beach shack, tons of parking. They have alligators on site which is fun to walk around and look at before/after you eat. It also sits on the water so we got a table next to it so we can have a good view during lunch. The crab legs and mussels were perfectly cooked. Delicious, butter to dip in, the whole shebang. Messy, flavorful, and juicy, exactly what you want if you're looking to break open some shells. Best part is they have a garbage right in the middle of the table to throw scraps in, and they have a sink to wash up in the dining room rather than getting the bathroom all greasy! 10/10 for planning that one! The service was good, we got sat right away and she got us everything we needed. I would recommend and would come back! read more

We got the captain sampler plate for 4. It had crab legs, mussels, crawfish, shrimp, potato's, corn and sausage. The service was pretty quick and our server kept bringing us drink refills. The seafood was pretty good but the crawfish was okay. It was not very fresh. All the other seafood was good and well seasoned. Also wish the corn was a little more seasoned. The indoor dining area was definitely hot and felt congested. I preferred the outdoor seating. I also wish they had more drink options like Dr Pepper. I got a lemonade and it was out of syrup cause it only taste like lemon water. Overall, a good place to go before or after tybee. read more

We spent over 2 hours here! We especially loved the lady at the gift shop. She smiled a lot and was so friendly. We got a few items since she was so cheerful. Feeding the gators were fun. $5 for 4 piecs of gator good, which we got two bags. Put it on a end of a fishing line, drop it down with the pole, then the gators eats the piece of food in the water. Snow cone was $2 each, very reasonable. Food was very fresh and delicious. I was impressed. The snow crab was very fresh. Mussels, shrimps, crawfish, sausages and potatoes were seasoned well, not too salty. Will come again! read more

Was dying for some seafood while on Tybee island, and had seen some good reviews for this place online. The good: - The seafood was fresh with lots of Old Bay :) - Very cool baby alligator haven (you can buy alligator food for a few dollars to feed them), and a bird house for animal lovers. - lots of seating, no need for a reservation - attentive service, waitress checked on us several times despite it being a busy lunch rush The less good: - we ate outside, and by nature of being close to the water there were a lot of small bugs flying around the food - a bit expensive for the very casual experience (though the seafood was good) Overall, good seafood on Tybee Island. This is a very casual joint, though the prices don't necessarily reflect that. read more

Back again! This time with family. Wanted them to experience the amazing low country boil in such a unique dining area with a water view. If you are seeking an authentic southern seafood experience, this is it! The parking & exterior appearance will make you call your choice into question. Just wait! The inside is like dining on a deck in a treehouse. It's tiki summer fun charm, and the food and service are outstanding! Great for kids too! Theres an alligator sanctuary where you can feed them, exotic bird area, arcade and gift shop. Multiple bar areas, huge dining area. This is mostly open air with very little cover from the elements, so i am not sure what they do if it's raining or bad weather. No reservations. Good for groups. If theres a wait, WAIT! Once again great food and very friendly and attentive service. Cant wait to come back on next visit to Tybee. read more

I ordered a boil that included crab, mussels, shrimp and sausage. The flavor was very good on the seafood items. The sausage seemed like something from Kroger. It was rubbery. The seafood was top notch. All the boils where I'm from have a lot of sauce to dip up. You are usually offered different options and varying amount of heat. This had little to no sauce, only butter. But....it was really good. Maybe that's just how it's served in the south. Wife had a pulled pork sandwich. She didn't like the bbq sauce option so the offered Baby Ray's, which she was ok with. I would come back for sure. read more

I loved this place. As someone who was born and raised in south Florida, this felt exactly like going to Robbie's in the keys. The food, gift shop, outside and vibes felt exactly the same. It made me super happy and felt like I was at home. If you don't wanna eat I'd recommend at-least coming for the vibes alone. Grab a drink and see the water and walk around. The staff were also so sweet. While in the gift shop the one woman picked up the kittens and introduced me to each of them. So cute!! read more

The vibes at this place is just what you expect when you're on vacation. Our waitress was attentive and the food came out really fast even though we came on a tour bus with 24 other people! I deducted some points because as I understand this is a seafood spot, that there isn't a lot of options for the non seafood eaters. I had a BBQ Pork Sandwich and it was ok. I had a cocktail and it was good. It's a typical tourist trap in the way of that there is an area for alligators and you can buy overpriced dog food to feed them. There was a couple other things to do but we didn't look. Parking: On site parking. read more

This place screamed coastal South. It served its purpose with the alligators and the gift shop - a true tourist trap with lots of stuff to do. We went for lunch. It was fine, but I learned I'm not a crawfish lover. The shrimp also could have been cleaned a little bit better. I was not a fan of the butter either. How does one mess up melted butter? I don't know, it just was odd. I did enjoy my crab cake. That was the best part of the meal and worth it. Service was fine. Nothing of note. I don't think I'd return but I can see why people go here. It just didn't do it for me. read more

The crab shack was one of our favorite spots to eat on our vacation to Savannah. We shared the captains sampler platter for 1 because we had just eaten a late lunch but honestly I think that would have been enough even if we hadn't. There was plenty of snow crab, shrimp, mussels, sausage, and potato, and one small corn. We learned how to eat crawfish here lol. We had leftovers we had to ditch sadly. Love the layout having the garbage can in the middle of the table to discard all the scraps and the cocktail sauce on the table in ketchup bottles. We also tried the crab dip which was delicious. Service was great and the ambiance was stunning with tons of seating outside and twinkly lights all around. We will definitely come back if we are ever back in Savannah for more crab! read more

The food and service were good. The gnats were off the chart! Unfortunately, we were unable to sit outside in the beautiful weather because of the gnats (called no see-ems by the locals).

Just look at the Menu before you go. Honestly as a New englander I found nothing worth eating. Most of my tour group loved it, some did not. It was part of our Tour to see Tybee Island. I had to wonder if they have an 'arrangement' to bring in the Tourists. At least the Pier area offered other options for a lunch meal. It was a pleasant place to sit and have a Beer while the other Tourists had lunch. read more

Alicia gave great service. We enjoyed our first visit. We will def be back to the crab shack

Ambiance is the winner of the required statements on here- the other two are food and service- our server was great and the food was decent but again the standout is the view and the character of the place. An original to say the least. If passing by the area at least stop for a cold drink. The low country boil was good- shrimp was sweet and tasty, the potatoes were soft and flavorful, the sausage could have been given more love and the corn could have been served warmer. read more

Food was ok but everything was overcooked especially the shrimp and sausage and the corn was just plain awful. The service though is why this review a one star! From the hostess to our waitress, everyone just seemed mad or like they hated life. Waitress brought our drinks but then everyone had to eat without a refill the entire meal. Service was not good and food is just meh. read more

Great Low Country Stop. Big place and very busy but they handle it well. Stop in for lunch or dinner.

The restaurant is a little cheesy, but the food and service are great! You can sit inside or outside. They do serve cocktails. Super casual atmosphere. After dinner you can entertain the kids by letting them feed the alligators! They have came poles to attach the food to and it is kind of fun. No kids with us but we fed the alligators!! There is a small gift shop and a room with live parrots. Even if you do not partake of the extra curricular , the food is great. The service was attentive and friendly!

This place gets crowded so plan early to visit, the close at 9 pm during week day. We ordered Captain n Crab Sampler, Low Country, Kids Cheese pizza and Kosher Dog and corn with IPA Tropicalia & Mojito. The Crab sampler and Low Country were big portions. The taste for these items were OK but not out of the world taste. The atmosphere here was amazing, we liked to seat outside to view the open water view near the floating boat. The drinks selections are not much and overrated for the price. We would recommend if you are visiting for the first time. I would not visit for my next trip. read more
