About
Crabs Seafood Shack is a relaxed, casual Southern restaurant and bar known for its crabs, oysters, po' boys, and co*cktails. It is highly regarded as the top spot for crab legs in the area. The crab meat effortlessly falls out of the shell, and their crab dip is truly exceptional. Moving to a new building near the reservation has only enhanced their already delectable offerings. Even compared to coastal establishments, Crabs Seafood Shack stands out with its superior crab legs.
Why you should go
- Spectacular views over the water
- Killer southern seafood cooking
- Delicious crab legs that fall out of the shell

A coworker and I were in the area on a business trip and a local recommended this place for dinner. Needless to say it was a great recommendation! Similar to all the other reviews, the atmosphere is great and the views over water and out on the patio are spectacular. We both got some oysters to share then the combo buckets (pictured) and everything was delicious!! Talk about killer southern seafood cooking!! Definitely a great stop!
Wait time was about 20 minutes, service was good, crab legs were really good, red fish was extremely spicy. The crab dip was more like crab soup that you dip French bread in but had great flavor.
This place is great, we walk in on a week day and no one was here for some reason. All you can eat fried grouper is an awesome deal. They didn't skim on the meal, fish is lightly battered and fresh.If you don't want grouper, shrimp and oyster are good too. Service is great, he keep checking on us and refill our drinks and food.Sitting next to the window and enjoy the view of the water while enjoying your meal is a good experience.

This is THE BEST crab leg place in the area! Delicious and falls out the shell, and the crab dip is next level amazing, this place is a going out to eat staple for me, and the new building by the rez is spacious and pretty, I was scared the food would be different after moving from Old Canton road to the new building, but it just adds to the already delicious food! The crab legs are better than most places in the coast even! Love this place!!
Beautiful view. Food was good. Friendly service. Chairs got uncomfortable after a while. Will definitely be back.
