We had an awesome seafood experience at The Crab Shack! The snow crab legs were perfectly seasoned and piled high — sweet, meaty, and cooked just right. The oysters were fresh and flavorful, and the drawn butter and saltines made it the perfect Southern-style feast. You can’t beat the relaxed beach vibe, friendly service, and great portions for the price. If you’re in Folly Beach and craving seafood, this is the spot!

Had the fried shrimp and flounder with new potatoes and coleslaw. The food came to the table hot. The flavor was amazing incredible. The fish and shrimp was fried to perfection and not overly battered and fried hard. Our server was on it. Had a great time.

The crispy fish sandwich and french fries were tasty and reasonably priced, especially considering the size. The blue crab bucket was also a hit. It came with potatoes and corn on the cob. Service got a little slow at the end because they were a little busy but overall service was good. Atmosphere was casual.

To was the first time at this establishment in Foley Beach. My wife and I decided to give this establishment a chance. The drinks were just okay, the grilled seafood was very salty, wife had the crab legs and shrimp which was price kind of high, the season was just okay, nothing to brag about, that my opinion. I've been around the city and country and have had better. Your bill will be high. If I'm going to spend that much money, I want to be able to brag about the establishment and its service . The establishment is old and needs lots of updates in dining areas and other areas . This would be the last time visiting this establishment. Good luck with your experience .
