Carolina Crab House Summerville

The fried crawfish were delicious 😋. The seafood fried rice was spectacular, and the shrimp Po boy was Amazing.. The vanilla vodka shot was also good 👍🏾. My 1st time here and I left very full and satisfied ✅..

Well. That sucked. The food was overcooked, over priced and underwhelming. My husband’s crab was so overcooked it was black. They said that’s the normal coloring but we’ve never had crab 🦀 that black. My daughter also spilled her water and when we said “hey sorry we spilled a drink” the looked at us and did nothing. Like bring me a towel or something to get it up if you give a child a cup with no lid. When we said hey we didn’t even eat the black crab I don’t feel I should pay for it they said oh well. $137 on food we couldn’t eat.

Absolutely horrible. The oysters were bland. The gumbo portion was tiny and made ingredients of poor quality. The boil came with crab legs, but not served with a crab utensil. We were told they have limited supply and they are by request only. We were one of two tables in the entire establishment. The boil components were also very poor quality. Their happy hour menu says house liquors $3 but they say they are shots, directily under it says any shot $5. In an area full of wonderful seafood this level of service and food quality will and should go out of business quickly. We will never come back and do not recommend this place at all.

Came for a birthday dinner. The hush puppies were a standout—crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. My friend had the shrimp boil, and it was loaded with juicy shrimp, corn, potatoes, and sausage—all cooked to perfection. The service was attentive, and our server was happy to make recommendations. Overall, it’s a great spot! Highly recommend the Monday specials here!

The food could of been better. I got the pound of shrimp boil with all the seasonings and added and extra egg. They very very skimpy on the sauce in the bag for the boil and the shrimp had no flavor had to add salt to it to even get to taste other than the shrimpness. The corn that came in the shrimp boil was reheated. The fries okra was excellent. My dad got the fish plate and it came with 4 pieces of shrimp and Cajun fries. The fish was okay kinda bland ( had to add salt) the fires taste like plan fries and definitely didn't taste like Cajun. We were the only people there at 1ish pm on a Saturday so I guess that should of told us something but we wanted to explore what Summerville had to offer for seafood. The staff was very nice but I wish the food reflected the awesome staff.
