We ordered frogs legs, mozzarella sticks and shrimp fondue for appetizers. The shrimp fondue was absolutely delicious!! Frog legs and mozzarella sticks were fresh and hot. My daughter and I had the Mother's Day specials with shrimp, scallops, oysters, lobster tail and rib eye steak. OMG, it was one of the best meals I have eaten in quite a while!! Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. We will be back soon and often. By the way, I live 50 minutes from the restaurant but will gladly drive for the delightful food!

As others have noted, Savannah Seafood Shack is a small restaurant with limited seating. However,…read morethe service and the food was top notch. So you're supposed to wait to be seated (to get a table number), then go up and order and they bring your food to your table. When I arrived, there was nobody at the maitre'd stand so I just got in line like the other two parties ahead of me. I quickly figured things out and made my order of the fried Fish and Shrimp platter with cajun fries. I just came from the gym so I was pretty hungry. The food came out piping hot and it was simply delicious. The food was fried/cooked perfectly with no excess oil. Portion wise, I feel that I got good value for my money. There were so many things on the menu that I wanted to try but I guess I'll have to visit again!

This was a total disappointment the staff was beyond friendly but the food fell below expectations…read moreI ordered the big boss 2 snow crab clusters shrimp corn potato egg and added sausage $32 plus $2.00 for the sausage I got the Cajun sauce which came out look like Frank's red hot all over my food. I also ordered the garlic butter it was cold couldn't even dip the seafood in it I asked to warm it up she brought out a hot one which in my mind why would you give a customer cold butter if it's supposed to be a dipping sauce but again the staff was super friendly and professional they get a 5 but I will not dine here again. The food did not live up to the hype

I would change the name because the name suggests they have oysters only and it turns out there is more, not a whole lot but enough for a non oysterholic to come in and have something to eat while you chug an ale or one of the shots with a slimy thing in it I got to try a shot of something that tasted like bloody Mary's mix with an oyster inside, I felt the slimy thing going down the hatch and later ordered a dozen or so oysters Parmesan, cooked taste a little like scallops, not bad and I could go back and try something else The calamari was ok, not as great as I can make them if I had a fryer with a thermostat, the batter was a little too thick and I tend to like them with a see through batter not a filler, it was crunchy ok but maybe a little overcooked and not a lot of people know that calamari should be flash fried for about a minute and if you go beyond that is like the Michelin man The place is fun and be prepared for a loud environment because it is small but go with an open mind and it is a nice different experience I will go back and try their fish and chips

Lowcountry Backyard was one of those places that feels like it's been there forever in the best…read morepossible way. Quirky, unpolished, a little tucked away, and absolutely full of character. It doesn't feel corporate or manufactured at all. More like you've stumbled into somebody's lovingly chaotic backyard dinner party where the food just happens to be genuinely top-tier. The mismatched charm, handwritten feel, and warm atmosphere are part of what makes it so special. There's this brilliant contrast between the laid-back hole-in-the-wall vibe and the seriously refined cooking coming out of the kitchen. We started with the fried green tomatoes which were incredibly tender, fried perfectly, and drizzled with a lovely house-made ranch. The sweet house pickles alongside were such a good touch. We also each had a cup of she crab soup which was beautifully seasoned and packed with tonnes of crab morsels. For mains, we shared the shrimp and grits and completely understood why the recipe has won awards, including being recognised as the 3rd best in the world. The recipe is rooted in traditional Lowcountry cooking but elevated with layers of flavour that somehow still feel comforting and homemade. The grits were unbelievably creamy, and the shrimp and sausage were perfectly cooked with fantastic flavour throughout. We also split the seafood purloo with blackened grouper, and it was equally impressive. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh without trying too hard to be fancy. What really made the experience though was the staff. Everyone went above and beyond. They took time to chat with us about the area, paced the courses perfectly so nothing felt rushed, and by the end we were leaving with handshakes feeling more like guests than customers. Places like this are getting harder to find. We'll absolutely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Lowcountry food served by genuinely wonderful people.

I went in there the oysters were gooey.(batter), so I sent it back while there's a certain type of people that get mad when you send food back so this time they overcooked it to where they was hard as a rock and I couldn't even eat them so therefore, even though I am local, I choose not to go there anymore

It was a Sunday afternoon and we wanted to treat my grandma with lunch after church. The food was all hot and delicious! Kiddos loved their hush puppies especially! Husband had the Captain's platter and could barely finish it! I had the fried shrimp and they were very good, Grandma had the Creek Shrimp (like popcorn) and she had a huge portion! She took half home with her for later. The kiddos had kids meals and they were portioned nicely. I will say to pay attention to your receipt, they added the gratuity because we were a party of six. My husband did not realize that so, we tipped twice. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Varnville!
