Cap'n Jack's Crab Shack - Charleston

Fresh, fresh, fresh prepared seafood. Great coleslaw with cranberries.

Legit. Absolutely legit seafood. Tons of flavor, fish tastes fresh, and great portion sizes.

Great Crab cakes! You can buy them frozen or cooked. Don 't expect Capt. Jack to be polite after about 2 in the afternoon (if you know what I mean). I asked him what the best way was to cook his crab cakes, he made reference to my gerth and told me You like to eat, you will figure it out . That is the attitude of this entire little town, drunk and depressed. But the crab cakes are really good.

We stopped here for the 4.5 stars on yelp hoping for some awesome food. Lady behind the county wasn 't very friendly, first thing she says is no crab were out of season before a simple hello. So I ordered oysters and shrimp taco. Girlfriend got the tuna melt with chowder. We both eat out pretty often and love fresh food so we 're pretty disappointed with a lot of it. The chowder was surprisingly bad, literally had zero flavor. I 'm pretty sure it came from a fan or something. Kinda weird for a place right on the water. Coleslaw and beans were %100 from a can. I worked in restaurants for years and could tell right away. Fried oysters were just good . Girlfriend liked the tuna melt. I would pass next time and look for something else.

Liked this small seafood place. Friendly quick service. Had a monster fresh crab cocktail, and chowder. Really good. Lots of seafood on menu. Highly recommend.
