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.

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.

The ambiance is incredible. Our server (Chrissy was a joy and the food was really awesome! What I liked most about the food is the batter/breading very light and doesn't sit heavy. The battered fries are worth the tripalone but the Georgia shrimp will knock it out of the park! Another seafood establishment in Brunswick had held the title ofbest seafood restaurant with me and was my go to restaurant when in the area, but .. BUT The Crab Trap has unseated them and nowholds that title! : Thanks Crab Trap for a wonderful dinner.

I feel I received a good amount of food for the price, and the wait staff were on point. My wife and I both got the Georgia Shrimp (fried) with grits andfries (requested grits in place of the coleslaw). Per the image our plates came out with grits instead of fries but when webrought this up it was corrected quickly and without any issue. The battering they use on the shrimp and fries is what I reallylove about the place. From my experience, if you?ve got complaints with The Crab Trap you are either going to have issues withevery place you go, or you happened to go on a very busy night at peak time. Yes they are busy, but that tells you that theirservice and food is at a quality which is reasonable for what is paid.
