Review by Seth Lubowitz

I recently dined at The Crab Shack in Charleston, and it was a delightful experience! 🦀

We started with the Hot Crab & Artichoke dip - absolutely cheesy and perfect with the pita bread. For mains, I ordered the Fried Captain Platter. While the shrimp could've used a bit more love, the side salads were fresh and tasty!

The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was fast and friendly. Special shoutout to our exceptional waiter, Troop, who made our night memorable!

Definitely a solid choice for seafood lovers! 🌊✨
