The Crab Shack

The restaurant that night is beautiful. We was seated very quickly. The service was very good and the food came out fast. Me and my wife had the Low Country broil and both would say 6/10. The season was coming off due to the fact that there was water on the bottom of the trays. The Deviled Crab was a 8/10 it was really good. We loved seeing the animals and visiting the gift shop.

The Crab Shack is highly reviewed for their atmosphere and good seafood and it was exactly what we hoped for. The 2 person platter was piled high and way too much food for the 2 of us, which was unexpected in the best way. The presentation, service, and atmosphere were out of this world. We loved the set up and getting to sit outside on the deck with heaters even in February. We are used to Louisiana boils where everything is super seasoned. This wasn't quite there on seasoning but it was really good and let you taste the flavors of the seafood. The deviled crabs were really good and the baby gators outside and decorations were very fun! Our waitress was excellent too.

We arrive about 20 mins after they opened on a Monday. There was plenty of parking and we were seated fairly quickly. Outdoor seating with a beautiful view of the water. We were there for a seafood boil, and it did not disappoint. There was plenty of snow crab legs with boiled potatoes, corn on the cob, and cole slaw. It was all seasoned well. The bucket in the middle of the table helped with keeping the area clean. Our server was friendly and efficient. He checked up on several times to ensure everything was ok. It was a nice casual dining spot before heading to the island for the afternoon.

Super fun vibe! Loved the kitties and Macaws! ❤️ Was hoping for a larger menu selection (hubby doesn't like seafood). He ordered the brisket sandwich, but it was a little fatty. Good flavor though! Loved the fun decor and activities for kids. We were there over the New Year holiday. Only saw a few small gaters.

Servers were fantastic, attentive but not over the top. The atmosphere was welcoming, unique, laid back, nothing fancy here and that’s what I loved. Nope for the food, I was not impressed. The slaw tasted like vinegar. I couldn’t stand the BBQ sauce, a little something added to a lot of mustard. I guess the pork was okay if you like it with no sauce. The outside is like nothing I’ve ever seen, very beachy, cluttered but it works. The alligator lagoon was interesting. The outside is worth the trip even if you don’t eat.
