TWO GREAT WATERFRONT LOCATIONS

The Crazyc

A Hilton Head tradition for more than 30 years, The Crazy Crab provides spectacular waterfront dining experiences in two locations at each end of Hilton Head Island. 

Visit either location to enjoy genuine service and fresh seafood. Menus feature crab clusters, local oysters, Seafood “your way,” king crab, fresh local shrimp and more. The menu is derived from Low Country Recipes and each entree is individually prepared to order. Choose from seafood either steamed, boiled, fried or broiled. Share a basket of freshly-made hushpuppies while enjoying a bowl of soup, shrimp cocktail, jumbo lump crab cake, oysters on the half shell or a Caesar salad. 

WATERFRONT DINING

OOyster Factory

The Old Oyster Factory was built on the site of an original oyster cannery. From 1925 until 1990’s, 1700 acres of nearby creeks and wetlands were harvested and their yield brought to a one-story concrete building located directly under the restaurant. After canning, the oysters were shipped all over the Lowcountry bearing the appellation of the Broad Creek Oyster Factory. Today, this iconic waterfront dining destination has stunning views of the Lowcountry on Broad Creek.

FOOD STAPLES INFUSED WITH TASTE, TRADITION AND HISTORY

DISHES THAT ENDURE

Nothing evokes comfort and bliss better than Southern cuisine. Chefs and critics agree that every mouthful, from lowly to lofty favorite, is infused with taste, tradition, and history. 

Take the deviled egg. The origins of this dish date back to ancient Rome. English settlers brought it to our shores, using the term “deviled” to note the addition of hot spices. DeepSouthDish. com applauds Southerners for their variations of this party staple and encourages the sprinkling of everything from horseradish to caviar to add a bit of flourish.
