All three of The Crab Shack's locations; downtown, West Ashley and Folly Beach, are hot favorites with locals and visitors alike. The hungry tourist who wanders in off the streets of downtown Charleston has struck it rich: a converted 18th-century warehouse that dishes up the best in local seafood. The décor is nothing spectacular, but who cares! Roll up your sleeves and dive into a bucket of fresh Steamed Clams, spoon up some Lowcountry Frogmore Stew or savor the delicious Charleston Crab Cakes, made up of more crab than cake.
