📸 Recent customer review from Danelle Baar! She shared her before ➡️ after photos… and let’s just say there was barely anything left when she was done.

The Captain’s Sampler Platter never stood a chance! Snow crab, shrimp, crawfish, mussels, sausage, corn and potatoes—all piled high and seasoned to perfection.

The only question is: Would you share?

Some people meditate.
Some people journal.

We order the Captain’s Sampler Platter and call it emotional support seafood. If it’s healthy for you does it really count?

Come see why happiness tastes better on Chimney Creek!

What makes The Original Crab Shack truly special? Our people. ❤️

Many of our employees have been part of the Crab Shack family for decades—and that says so much about the environment we’ve created together.

Meet Mandy Kohel! Mandy has been with us for more than 20 years, and she’s sharing her favorite menu items, her go-to dessert, and what she believes makes The Original Crab Shack unlike anywhere else.

It’s Tybee Time. 🌴
Now is one of the BEST times to explore Tybee Island. The summer rush is slowing down, the crowds are smaller, the weather is getting better, and somehow the food just tastes a little sweeter when you’re on Tybee Time.

And no trip to Tybee is complete without a stop at The Original Crab Shack.

Come sit under the live oaks, kick back by Chimney Creek, grab a cold drink and dig into some boiled seafood. No rushing. No schedules. Just island time.

🎂WHAT OTHER RESTAURANT THROWS A BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR THEIR CATS?!

We can’t think of one either.
But at The Original Crab Shack, George, Raven, Whiskers, Little Foot & Einstein are part of the family — so when they turned ONE, obviously we threw them a party!

Because where else are you going to find boiled seafood, baby alligators, birds AND a birthday party for five cats?

Only at The Original Crab Shack on Tybee Island.

Help us wish our FIVE birthday babies a very happy 1st birthday!
