There are several seafood restaurants on River Street. When I want seafood in Savannah I usually go to the Pink House which is more of a fine dining experience (but the food is out of this world!).

If you are really wanting what you are describing, then drive out to Desposito's. Here's a link that includes that restaurant with directions and description -

Thanks for asking the question. I did a web search to get more info on D's and just love this website. I'm going to use it on my travels!

Hi gromit, how is wallace?

We were in Savannah a few weeks ago, I used this site for research.

Personally, I would recommend the River House for lunch, great shrimp and crab and the Pink House for dinner.

Thanks everybody for their replies. Can't wait for Savannah. Only ten big sleeps to go.

While not a "crab shack" I would like to recommend...Lady and Sons...
A Southern Buffet or eat off the menu with amazing crab cakes.

Make a reservation, or you will be sorry! Long lines as this is a favorite...

The Crab Shack going into Tybee Island was really really good. We had a low country boil & it was sooo good and right on the water. I think you'll really like this place. Also I have to agree with the other poster to check out Lady & Sons Restraunt. Down home southern cooking. Their fried chicken & sweet tea are wonderful

I was going to recommend the Crab Shack as well. Yes, its touristy---but it is also quintessential southern IMO.
Growing up (in Savannah)I had the crab shack experience regularly--but at home or a friends homes. We never ate seafood out--we could always catch it or buy it cheaper off the docks, no need to eat out. I think they do a good job of replicating an experience...or maybe I'm just sentimental

Absolutely, the Crab Shack. It has changed tremendously since we lived there, when it really was a crab shack attracting mostly locals, and although it has been "found" and grown into something very unshack-like, it's still the closest you'll get to a true crab shack experience in Savannah. I too love their low country boil!
