The Crab Shack isn't just a restaurant, it's a destination! We seat more than 700 guests and offer both indoor and outdoor dining options. Both dining rooms and our outdoor dining deck offer picturesque views of Chimney Creek. Both the young and young-at-heart will enjoy our interactive, educational "Gator Lagoon" which is home to 78 baby alligators; our aviary which is home to more than a dozen rescued exotic birds, and our "Gift Shack". The Crab Shack offers traditional Low Country fare, including fresh streamed and boiled seafood and slow-cooked BBQ. We also have a kid's menu available with burgers, hot dogs, and pizza. The Crab Shack is and always has been a family owned business, and recently began shipping our entrees in ready-to-be-cooked kits through LoCo To Go. Stop by and experience all we have to offer for yourself!

highly recommend to anyone who wants to step back in time BEFORE red lobsters and Captain D. THIS is seafood, served by the water, watching the fishing boats come in and out, watching dolphins in the creek and sitting under oak trees that are hugely ancient. There's inside, too but WHY ! it's heaven on earth, listening to radio margaritaville and having one! NO dress code, moderately priced and the kids will love it. Chicken and BBQ if you don't do shellfish..and they DON'T FRY ANYTHING.. good for the heart and soul!

Great food, very kind people.

Had a great time. Saw the alligator farm, the rabbit petting area, and cats raoming. When it says shack, they mean shack. Looks old and weathered, but it is quite knew and by the swamp. Recomend the seafoo sampler when firs comes. I hate seafood but it is verry good. Just so you know the do not fry food. They do have other food besides seafood.
