Geechie Garlic Crabs & Seafood

An Incredible Small Business Serving Authentic Geechie-Style Cooking Geechie Garlic Crabs & Seafood – 1286 Yeamans Hall Rd, Hanahan, SC I had the wonderful pleasure of visiting Geechie Garlic Crabs & Seafood this week, and I couldn’t be happier that the locals recommended it. Since I’m spending a few weeks in South Carolina, I’ve been searching for the real gems of the Charleston area — and this place is absolutely one of them. Located in the shopping center off Sellers Rd / Yeamans Hall Rd next to the Piggly Wiggly, the restaurant feels like a true neighborhood spot. As soon as I stepped in, I was greeted by Miss Krystal, who was warm, welcoming, and full of great suggestions. My mouth was already watering just from seeing the menu in person after browsing pictures online. Inside, the r

From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. We’re visiting from Florida, and this spot was at the top of our Charleston must‑try list—and it did not disappoint. We ordered the snow crab and shrimp, as well as the blue crab and shrimp. Both dishes came with corn, potatoes, and eggs, and everything was cooked perfectly. We also tried the crab rice, and let me tell you… every single bite was AMAZING. The seasoning was spot‑on, and that garlic sauce was pure finger‑licking goodness. If you love seafood, this place is an absolute must‑stop. Fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable.

The establishment is in a nice clean space. Compared to other seafood places that carry similar options, the prices are fair. The customer service was excellent. I came here to grab a nice spread for my mom's bday weekend. Saturday was cold and rainy, so having a lot of nice hot food around that she could enjoy as we relaxed was the goal. Geechie Garlic helped me to accomplish this, and the food was great! My only critique, unless there is a specific reason of why not, would be to update the online ordering menu. There are a few things that aren't listed that they actually do carry ie. Salmon bites or fried crab- standalone. Also, some of the trays could be a little more discriptive of what's included, or just state it once above the tray section. There are also parts where there is more

The service was great. The beautiful young lady that took my order was so sweet and personable—which is why I hate to even write this review, but I have to be honest. My crabs were mush on the inside. Like, the meat was an actual paste. It was beyond soft, soggy meat. And as a blue crab lover and a low country girl, I know that it’s only because the crabs had died before being prepared. I was too afraid to eat it. My mom wanted me to go back and return it, but again, the service was so good, I didn’t want to be an inconvenience. I’d recommend making sure crabs haven’t died prior to cooking. The crab meat was literally mush.

I ordered take out but the place had a bar like feel with tvs. First off I ordered over the phone and I was charged $22 when I clearly told the order taker no sausage but they gave me sausage anyway. Me not realizing that she charged me anyway for something i did not want. I dont like beef sausage. When u got home I realized they piled my order with sausage and I only got nine shrimp even I payed for the 12 stand alone. The food was a bit salty so I wasn't too happy about that. I probably won't eat here again. The garlic crab place in Moncks Corner has way better service and way better food.
