The Crab
Shack is a Tybee Island
institution, so we also visited during a short vacation. It is a huge, mostly
outdoors, restaurant with an extremely relaxed, kind of redneck, atmosphere
–official motto: “Where the elite eat in their bare feet” (this evening there
were some bare feet, but definitely no elite). They serve mostly all kind of
crabs, shrimp, and barbeque. They also have a rescue baby alligator pond, which
is a nice idea, but it was a bit sad to see the guests annoy the little gators
with empty feeding sticks.
As I don’t like seafood, I am going for the BBQ
Sandwich ($5.99) with sides of Slaw ($1.99), Sausage ($2.50), and Cup of
Brunswick Stew ($3.99). The sandwich is tender pulled pork with their own
sauce, which is quite vinegary: tasty. The slaw is very basic, as is the
sausage (which the waitress herself says is Hillshire Farm), while the
Brunswick Stew is watery with a bit fishy taste. M. had the Half & Half
($21.99), snow crab and shrimp, with sides of corn and slaw. She really liked
it.
VERDICT:
85/100
I guess you go to The Crab Shack for the experience
first and the crab second. Don’t go for the other food.
