9. Crab Shack

Great atmosphere
My husband and I ate there when we stopped in Savannah for a few days on our way to Florida, and we loved the place. The atmosphere was great. I loved sitting out and watching nature. The food was just great. The waiter was very pleasant.

We are from Ga and had to go to savannah on work. We were in search of stone crab and it seemed from calling around the Crab Shack was the only place that had it. So we drove well out of our way to be totally disapointed. The service was horrible! We waited 15 min. before the server even came over then another 25 for our food. Once we got our food the server never checked back with us except to throw our check at us. And the Crab was horrible! Either you would get a piece that had no flavor VERY bland, or it was so fishy tasting you could hardly eat it. Nothing like Stone Crab should be. I will say the smashed potatoes were very good. We were very let down and will NEVER return to or recommend the Crab Shack!

I loved the food and the atmosphere. You've got marsh, you've got big fans keeping you cool, you've got alligators and bunny's to check out (no they aren't housed together) and you have some of the best steamed or boiled seafood on earth. My wife would disagree with my rating because she hates seafood (and there are very little choices for such a person) and the smell of the marsh can get a little intense.
