Charleston Crab House-james Island

This is our absolute favorite place to eat in Charleston. We stumbled upon it by chance nearly 7 years ago on our first trip to Charleston and it’s a must visit on every trip to Charleston (usually a few times). This is also where we ate after eloping to Charleston in 2019. The food is ALWAYS delicious. The service is ALWAYS friendly and fast. The view is amazing. I can’t recommend it more highly!

The service and the food is amazing! Our waiter was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was good as usual, we often visit this location or the location on Market street. The seating here is better in my opinion especially if you want to sit and have a somewhat “water” view. Overall it was a great dinner out with family.

I’ve really enjoyed the food. We went there during the weekend and it was very crowded. However, we got a table beside the river and it was very nice. The waitress was very smart. She noticed that I am a Muslim and she asked to change the rice as a side dish to mashed potatoes,because it had a bacon (pork)

We went for a late lunch and were seated immediately. The service was very fast and our server was attentive. The she-crab soup was decent… very little crab. Our server brought us extra sherry and that helped the flavor. My husband got boiled shrimp and thought they were good.

Loved this restaurant!! Located in the Wapoo River, there is ample setting both inside and out with great views of the water. There were several large groups comfortably accommodated. The menu had something for everyone. I had the seafood boil pictured. Our meals were outstanding - prepared and presented well. We were seated promptly and our server was there immediately to assist us. She was pleasant and very attentive. We would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are in the area!

Wonderful fresh seafood for Lisa and I while the kids had a burger and chicken strips, I believe. After having a half dozen 🦪 oysters at Snapper Jacks on our first night on the coast...I decided to go all out and ordered a dozen oysters and washed them down with a pound of fresh shrimp 🦐. They were phenomenal. Crisp shrimp that pop in your mouth, so crisp, then juicy. Lisa had the crab and shrimp boil and loved it as much as I loved mine. We all shared an appetizer of fries okra which rocked! We also liked the plastic bucket in the middle of the table where you can throw your shells. Clever and useful gimmick you don't see very often back home in Wisconsin.

It was a great lunch with my father. He had the Lowcountry Shrimp Boil, and I had the Captain's Platter with fried oysters, shrimp, and flounder with grits and eagle fries. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The view of the waterway was also beautiful, it was a beautiful day. The calamari was fired to perfection.
