after spending the weekend sailing, we went to the Charleston Crab House on our way out of town hoping for a good seafood meal. Let me just list the problems:\r
\r
-we started with a dozen raw oyesters which were ""sketchy"" to say the least. we didnt even eat 3 of them. those we did eat tasted gamey. sure it is november but we asked the waitress who said they were ""great right now""\r
\r
-my salad was disgusting. you know how old lettuce gets? the best pieces were wilted and the worst pieces were slimey. i had to build a pile of the bad lettuce on my salad plate to get it out of the way.\r
\r
-we had the she-crab soup which, while not gross like everything else had been, really just didnt have any flavor; like something you woudl buy in a can.\r
\r
-for entrees, im usually a push-over for shrimp and grits. i've prolly ordered this at 20-30 charleston restaurants and this was by far the worst. the shrimp were slimy as if they had been cooked hours before and left sitting. i ate around most of the shrimp.\r
\r
The rest of the entrees were uninspired. Just not worth the prices at all.\r
\r
The ONLY thing this place has going for it is a great location and good hush puppies. Everything else was just gross.\r
\r
One of my group commented ""we should have just gone to mcdonalds and been just as satisfied for 1/5 the price"".
