David's Crab House

Delicious garlic blue crab and mussels! I wasn't expecting it to be cold but I guess that's how they like it in Savannah. No worries. Got the crab rice also and it was good. Alot of food for the money.

What a hidden gem. We found this from a reddit thread, and we are so glad we did. Went in and the lovely woman at the counter offered us free samples of EVERYTHING. so delicious. Loved the garlic crab and peel n eat shrimp. The eggs were so fantastic. We ended up getting crab salad, deviled crab, shrimp, and an egg - for $25!!! We will stop in again on our way out of town. The hot sauce is also a win. Do yourself a favor and go! Be prepared to take away as there is no seating inside. We walked back to Forsyth park (about a 15 min walk) and ate on a bench. Worth it!

Tried for the first time, it was okay. The owner did have great customer service, but I need my food hot from the kitchen. I thought they had hot fried seafood from the kitchen, but were not serving fried at that time...why?...not sure. I always try to visit black owned businesses, but we got to keep our game up, please. The seafood was served cold, you have to heat at home. The garlic crab was good; conch was tender, but no season; and boiled eggs no taste, but you could see the season. I came home and added my on extra season for my taste...result was was great. My mom was in the restaurant business for over 30 years. Please, you can't "pull the wool over my eyes, I know better." Probably will not return, but please do better.

Stopped in for an early lunch... the wonderful fresh smell of a fresh seafood shop filled the air. Greeted by a wonderful southern smile from the young lady. A nice selection of seafood choices. I picked up the conch in garlic butter - yum. The Alaskan crab legs & local blue crab in garlic seasoning were uniquely flavorful. The shrimp in hot sauce were a new taste for me. The blue crab rice was also neat with the brown rice. I like adding the garlic butter to it for additional flavor. I got to try a crawfish and it was one of the best I have had. I finished the meal off with perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs, so fresh! Prices were great for this little local take out joint. They were able to heat up the conch so I could enjoy it on the go.

Well, I would love to be able to review my whole takeout order, but half of it is cold. Like fresh-from-the-fridge cold. I am here on an overnight trip, in a place with no way to heat this food up. I drove 9 hours today and made Savannah my stopover for the night. So, I browse local food for an hour, picking this place because of the rave reviews, do some more driving across town to get it; and it’s stone cold. I am highly dissatisfied and disappointed considering the money I spent on this food. 5 things I ordered completely inedible to me and now will be wasted.

Davids is the reason I come to Savannah. I always order 6lbs of garlic snow and dungeness (yes its cold i put in oven once home OUTSTANDING) CONCH is 5 of 5 and garlic mussels same. I love their garlic home made hot sauce and the owner is just so down to earth. You can tell he cooks from his heart and is connected to his community. Faithful customer.

The last time we were in Savannah I saw a gentleman in the lobby of the hotel from a distance eating what I assumed was ice cream. . When I inquired, he said he was eating Conch from David’s Seafood. I purposed to visit David’s when we returned to Savannah. This time my nephew traveled with me and we decided to try it out. The cashier was so kind and helpful and because it was our first time visiting, we were allowed to sample a variety of items before we made our purchase. They hooked us and reeled us in, and because of those samples we ordered shrimp, conch, crab rice, sausages, corn and boiled eggs. Was it good? You bet your bottom dollar it was good!!!!! My wife doesn’t eat seafood, but you can be assured that I’m going back to this takeout only establishment when we return to Savannah.

Pictures & Videos as well The BAD things: - Ordered crab rice on the side and got none - Ordered peeled shrimp and got shelled veined shrimp - Ordered eggs in the crab boil and got no eggs - Some of the food was mushy which you can see in the pictures that the potatoes were falling apart. - There wasn’t a lot of potatoes, maybe because they had fallen apart. And there were too many sausages. - The ordering area is a bit small and crowded. The GOOD things: - the flavor of the seasoning was good - the corn was sweet and it was good - We ordered and extra side of conch once we got there and my boyfriend said it was good. - My mom said the crab tasted good
