"Where the elite eat in their bare feet!"

The Original Crab Shack at Chimney Creek on Tybee Island offers steamed, boiled and raw shellfish, as well as BBQ pork and chicken. While we do not serve any fried foods or fish, our menu does offer an array of seafood and non-seafood options to suit any taste. More than just a restaurant, The Original Crab Shack is a destination and an experience for those visiting or passing through Savannah and Tybee Island. We offer seating for over 700 guests; three full service bars; an interactive, educational "Gator Lagoon" home to live baby alligators; a Gift Shack; and an aviary with rescued exotic birds. We are open year 'round, with the exception of Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve Day, and Christmas Day.

What a night at the 20th Annual Buccaneer Ball! 🏴‍☠️ We had so much fun, enjoyed incredible food, and celebrated with an amazing crew. This year was sold out, and we’re so grateful to everyone who bought a ticket—and to our hardworking staff who make this party happen. We couldn’t do it without you!

And the pirate festivities are just getting started! Come see us this weekend and check out all the pirate gear around The Original Crab Shack. We’re open Friday and Saturday until 10 PM, with free parking. See you at the Shack, mateys!

🏴‍☠️ What a night, mateys! The 20th Buccaneer Ball at The Original Crab Shack was one for the books—and thanks to all of you, we sold out beyond full capacity! We can’t sell tickets at the door, so if you missed out, keep an eye out for next year and grab your tickets as soon as they’re available.

We’ll share all the photos from the party later this afternoon. Until then, enjoy a glimpse of the fun! 📸🎉
