Amazing! We are from a place where you can't get fresh seafood so this place hit the spot! When we arrived the place was busy but they had a lot of seating both inside and outside. We opted to sit outside because the weather couldn't have been better. We had a view of a canal where we were able to see some dolphins swimming around which was fun to see. To start our meal we ordered a bucket of steamed oysters (we had to shuck them but it wasn't to hard) For our main course we decided on a Half and Half Seafood Boil and a Snow Grab plate was the perfect amount for us to share. We did order a couple of the local beers they had in stock and they all were very good. read more

If you're looking for the full Tybee Island experience, this is it. We ordered the **snow crab boil**, plus crawfish and clams, and honestly we were in heaven. Everything was fresh, seasoned perfectly, and exactly what you hope for when you're craving a seafood boil. The beer was ice cold, which made it even better. The setting is what really makes this place special. You're eating right on the water, the picnic tables have built-in trash cans for all the shells, and the whole place has a laid-back, old-school coastal vibe that's hard to find anymore. After we finished eating, we fed the alligators, which was such a fun way to end the meal. This is one of those places you remember long after your trip. We'll be coming back every time we're in the Savannah/Tybee area. read more

Oh No, find a better place, 1. Got on the wait list online, when I got there the host said "Oh, we don't pay attention to that " 2. Restaurant was half empty, But- they seated us right next to the waitress station. Promptly got bumped by two waitresses 3. Even though we were inside there was no air conditioning 4. Prices, We thought about asking to talk to the finance manager before we ordered but then decided we had- had enough and left without ordering read more

This place was so fun we ate there twice during our week trip in Tybee. We had the Captains platter for 2 which feed my family of 4. It was so nice to sit outside on the covered patio and walk around after dinner. Staff was all so friendly and helpful. My kids loved seeing the alligators and finding the cats around the property. Cats are super friendly and let the kids pet them. read more

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

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

The price to food ratio here is the biggest part of why it got 4 stars. The food itself was actually really good. The atmosphere as beautiful with a nice view of the water and cool seating and unique tables. The service however was terrible. I felt as if I had to tell my waiter how to do his job. The water also tasted horrible as well. The food was good, cool restaurant, mid service. 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've been to Tybee Island a number of times but never stopped in to this place. Well, I know why now. Great atmosphere, great service but the food? I'll pass. I know every place has their own spin on a boil and yeah other restaurants not in a seafood area can go crazy with the different seasonings, but this boil didn't even have "Old Bay" on it! Cold corn, tasteless potatoes, and mushy shrimp! Very disappointing. My wife had the crab leg boil which she said the crab legs were good, but again no seasonings. You get a lot of food for what you pay for but what good is it if there is no flavor. Will I give it another try when we come back to Tybee/Savannah? Possibly but will try other seafood places for comparison. read more

The Crab Shack - Low country shrimp boil. Tasteless. - Seafood Near Me - Tybee Island, Georgia

Kids will enjoy this restaurant with the baby alligators and cats. It's pretty cool. I like that you could sit outside on the water. It's a vibe. I got in and requested a table for 1. I was asked if I wanted to sit at the bar. Went to the bar, and the server said it was going to be a while before she could serve me because it was busy. I would have been okay with that, but she wasn't really pleasant either. I went back to the hostess and asked for a table. It took a while for someone to acknowledge me - 10-12 minutes. I eventually waved someone down. He was nice. He took my order and answered my questions. Then my server came. She was very pleasant and attentive. I needed that because at some point I was ready to get up and leave. I ordered the low boil. There was a lot of food - more than I could eat. However, the potatoes were still hard and there was barely any seasoning. 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

Not good! This is a tourist trap, with all of the overpriced kitsch thrown in just for fun. The food is poor quality and poorly prepared. I had the low country boil, cheep sausage, cheeper shrimp with the half including the digestive tract in tact. My wife had the carb salad sandwich - it tasted nothing like crab, and less appetizing than a $2 diners Sando. Don't buy into the hype like we did. This place sucks - although the caged aligators were interesting read more

Everything was phenomenal. The vibes outside were wonderful and the food was great. It was a nice touch to have a trashcan underneath in the middle. The prices was very moderate. The restaurant is definitely a hidden gem. It's a certainly on the more casual side but that was the restaurant concept so it was great. This was a great concept for families younger, older, everyone. The birds and wildlife were a really fun whimsical touch. 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

Fun place for kids, but the food was overpriced and poor quality. The menu had a very limited selection. Everything was served in cheap plastic baskets and disposable styrofoam cups. The crab cake sandwich was soggy and plain. There was no vegetable garnish and the bun was not toasted. The crab and shrimp dip appetizer looked and tasted like a bowl of seafood bisque. It was served with cheap tortilla chips that were clearly poured out of a bag, not heated or cooked in house. The setting was beautiful on the intercoastal waterway. Kids enjoyed the gator pond, exotic birds and resident cats. 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

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

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

The stuffed crab was not good, you could not taste any crab only stuffing. The bathroom was run down and not a good reflection of what a bathroom should look like in a restaurant. The crab chowder was not delicious and was not eaten since it was more salty than anything . The location is very popular but it can't be because of the food. I would not recommend this establishment. 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

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

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

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 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

Minus 3 points because # 1 it was our first time eating this type of seafood, I had no idea i would have to scrape shrimp poop and tear apart mini lobster tails to have a decent meal. I'm absolutely horrified and don't think i'll ever eat here again. # 2 when I would ask the waitress if that was shrimp poop she said she "doesn't know" and that she just eats it like that. I completely lost my appetite when she said that. Where's the professionalism, if this restaurant wants to maintain new customers it should definently maybe give a warning before hand or ask if anyone is new to eating this type of food. #3 The prices were way way too high to just be fed crap they should not be charging so high if they're able to whip it up so fast, we placed the order and within 3 minutes it came, it made me very suspicious and I was so right. The reason I gave two stars is because the decoration was really nice and scenery and the gift shop and the mini alligators. But if it weren't for that, on food solely, I would give it one star (and that's because of the sausages and corn and crab) 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

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

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.

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
