The Crab Trap - St Simons Is

We celebrated our seventh anniversary here on November 12th and had a wonderful evening. Several friends recommended this restaurant to us and it was great! We started with the shrimp dip appetizer. I ordered the shrimp and grits. My wife ordered the Shrimp Creole. Both were flavorful and served piping hot! The Creole dish had just the right amount of spice from its Andouille sausage. The grits were cheesy and mixed with grilled tomatoes and blackened shrimp for a filling dish. We tried a sample of the crab soup and will definitely order it next visit. We ended a perfect evening by sharing a piece of their homemade key lime pie. Finally, kudos to our great server and the manager for making us feel welcome.

It is a unique spot for dinner, crab soup was very good. The 3 star rating for service was due to the fact we felt as though we were being rushed to finish and leave. Our entree came out when we were 1/2 done with our soup, the check was given before we finished our entree. We didn’t want dessert, but they didn’t ask if we wanted anything else. Parking is difficult at best.

Crab legs and oysters are both highly recommended! Hush puppies were perfectly fluffy and golden brown, slaw had a perfect flavor to it as well. Our waitress was very sweet and checked on us frequently!

Such a fun place. Have been going here for many years. Love it.

My family ate here, absolutely great food. Best shrimp and grits I've eaten, HANDS DOWN!! Will definitely be back. Very friendly staff too.
