Crabs Seafood Shack - Ridgeland

A coworker and I were on a business trip in the area, and a local recommended this restaurant for dinner. It turned out to be an excellent suggestion! Like all the other reviews mentioned, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the view over the water from the terrace is spectacular. We shared the combo-eimette and had oysters, and everything was delicious! The seafood is definitely top-notch! Overall, it's a great place to visit!

This is the best crab restaurant around! The food is delicious and overflowing, and the crab dive is simply amazing. This place is my go-to spot for dining out. The new building in the area is spacious and beautiful, and I was worried that it would feel different compared to the old location on Canton Road, but it actually enhances the already fantastic food! The crab legs here are even better than what you'll find at most places on the coast. I absolutely love this place!

When we arrived at Crab Seafood Shack, the restaurant was very hot and humid. We couldn't sit outside because there was a storm approaching. The server offered to let us keep the menus so we could fan ourselves and apologized for the temperature. She was a very good server and definitely efficient. I ordered the grouper entree with broccoli and a house salad. My husband ordered the blackened chicken pasta and house salad. He could not eat the chicken at all. He said it was the worst chicken he's ever tasted but the pasta was edible. My grouper was okay. Most of the broccoli was delicious but there were some parts that looked dried out that I had to cut off. The salad was great! Would we go back? Probably not.

We ordered the snow crab buckets and one with shrimp. There was absolutely no seasoning and I asked for spicy, still no seasoning. Someone in my party ordered the fried catfish and it was good. But the seafood buckets are a no go. Waste of money, we decided to try it since it was in a new location but we could have gone to Juicy Crab instead.

This restaurant is truly the best one by the water. The food is outstanding, and the views are like something out of a magazine. They also offer live music, which adds to the experience. If you haven't dined here yet, you’re missing out! I would definitely eat here four or five days a week.
