I had never eaten these giant crabs in my life, and it was such a unique experience! It was both fun and delicious. Everything was amazing, especially the corn and potatoes. The seasoning on everything was perfect! We absolutely loved the place! Plus, the crab cakes were incredible too!

I am on a road trip in the south east and I really like seafood so me and my father decided to stop for dinner on our way to Jacksonville and boy oh boy I am  glad that we did. The crab legs were a buttery nirvana in my mouth. And the shrimp spice and taste and blend of everything was impeccable and unmatchable. If you could find a better seafood restaurant I will give you 100$. Will definitely stop next I am in Savana area and I know I will be eventually. And before I can end this review I have to mention the 76 or 78 live alligators that they have. They were the first live alligators I have ever saw. I recommend to anyone in the area.

We stopped here on our healing journey to revisit some memories for my wife. While we didn't have all the food they had last time she visited, we definitely had a great spread. All of the food was mouth-watering and full of flavor.
The deviled stuff blue crabs were on point as well as the shrimp and crab dip.
The view on the deck encompassed an ocean atmosphere that made eating the seafood so delightful.
I highly recommend going there if you visit Tybee. Go early because they pack in fast.
Afterward, go check out the alligators. You might even find one posing for you.

This place is an insane fun stop. Our waitress was very kind and we got the sampler for 2. Great value for the amount of food we got. The mussels were delicious. Everything was delicious! Then to walk around and see the gators and birds. Everyone seemed well taken care of.

Amazing experience at the Crab Shack. Seafood was perfectly cooked, steaming hot and delicious!! The non seafood lover in our party ordered the bbq brisket and said it was some of the best he’s ever had. The key lime pie is a must try. The atmosphere was gorgeous with all the Christmas lights they had up. Super cool alligator lagoon and tropical birds too. A MUST do in Tybee. Dog friendly as well.
