Word on the street
What locals are saying
A Folly Beach anchor since 1999, The Crab Shack earns its keep with a sprawling outdoor deck, live music most nights, and buckets of snow crab and peel-and-eat shrimp that draw a genuinely local crowd. The formula — elbows on the table, generous portions, reasonable prices — holds up more often than not, but execution is uneven: overcooked crab legs and bland sides surface often enough to matter, and the sourcing of truly local seafood is a fair question mark. Come for the oysters and the happy hour; temper expectations on anything more elaborate.
