This is my third visit to the Crab Hut here in Watkinsville. I had heard many good things about it so I was excited to try it.
My husband and I came here several weeks ago and were blown away by how good everything was. If you follow my reviews you know that my very favorite thing in the whole world is good fried fish. Ever since I was little it’s been my favorite food!!
The menu had many amazing things to choose from but I chose (guess what) the fried catfish basket. We got an order of onion rings from the appetizer menu; the side I chose was a small corn on the cob. I’m here to tell you the catfish was excellent. I was so excited because I’ve been looking for a good local place for catfish for too long. There are a couple in this town but they only serve fish on certain days.
The only complaint I could come up with was I did not like the tartar sauce. It was brown and had a really odd flavor to it but that wasn’t going to stop me – I’m coming back; I decided to just bring my own tarter next time. The catfish was worth the trip
Fast forward to this visit. My husband is playing in his billiard league tonight so I thought it would be a good night to take myself out for dinner. I decided to go back to the Crab Hut for catfish again. I remembered to take Duke’s tartar sauce.
The place was not very busy. I was kind of surprised because it was just a little past 7:30 and I thought there might still be some lingering dinner guests. I was the only one there.
I ordered the catfish, a bowl of gumbo, with a side of the corn on the cob. The server brought the food out pretty quickly. I dove into the gumbo first and I have to say it was really really good.
It had a big pile of yummy rice in the center. Unfortunately I can’t eat a lot of white rice so I mixed a little bit of it in with the soup and enjoyed every single bite. They had a large shrimp on top of the rice pile, which was a nice little bonus.
Next I jumped on to corn on the cob it was sitting in a bowl of butter or oil and spice. Honestly it didn’t look too appetizing, but I have to tell you it was delicious. Now I like corn on the cob but this stuff was extraordinary.
Now I get to the catfish. I hate to say this but I didn’t like the fish at all. On my last visit I loved loved loved the fish!! I thought it was some of the best fried catfish I’ve ever had. This time I don’t know what happened. It looked dark, and frankly, it kind of reminded me of just frozen filets that they had dropped into a fryer. It seemed a little bit overcooked; it was darker than I expected. It also had kind of a dirty oil taste. I didn’t even finish it. That’s unusual for me with fried catfish, I usually over eat fried fish. Like I said it’s my favorite thing.
I will go back to the crab hut because I found several other things on their menu that I do like. I won’t be ordering the catfish again and that really disappoints me because that’s the main reason I went up there. They have lots of other things to try so I’m not going to write them off yet.
The Crab Hut is a small family owned business, and I like to support them when I can. They are nice people.

Biggest & most delicious shrimp I have ever had. Also had the spicy garlic butter rice as my side and it was awesome as well. Freshly cooked & served hot. Would give it 10 stars if I could.

Second time here, first was drive thru. Food was great. Decided to come with the family to dine inside. Restaurant was clean and staff was super friendly. Food was delicious, and portions were generous. We will definitely be back.

Excellent seafood boils and Po’Boys. Choices include shrimp, salmon, snapper, mussels, clams, crayfish, scallops, lobster, crab and more. Great sides include corn, fries, rice, potatoes, hushpuppies, cheese sticks. Flavorings are delicious. A super option for dine in or carry out. We will be coming back for sure.

Butter my butt, and call me a biscuit – I did NOT expect a crab shack right next to landlocked Athens, GA to be worth a red cent, but here I’ve been proven wrong. We came up from Florida to visit family, and had a birthday supper at The Crab Shack. I was honestly a bit apprehensive – can you blame me? – but there was no need.
My table ordered calamari and hush puppies as appetizers. The calamari were HUGE, and I assume fresh-caught; whereas the hush puppies were tiny, moist, and studded with finely diced green onion. I did try a hush puppy – they seemed to be mostly cornmeal, and had a mild sweetness, not unpleasant.
For an entree, I got the jumbo shrimp boil with lemon garlic butter. When our waitress brought a plastic bag on a platter, it wasn’t what I expected, but it was definitely intriguing! Aquarium take home bag notwithstanding, the food inside was excellent – the seasoning had plenty of paprika and garlic, with just enough spice to make almost anybody, from mild preferences those who prefer more kick, to be pleased.

Every time I eat here, I’m so pleased with the food!! The popcorn shrimp isn’t greasy and it has lots of flavor. I love the crab legs and that they offer fresh cooked broccoli as a side. I will definitely be back to dine with them again.

This was my second time to the CRAB HUT. My first time I got catfish and it was good. Today, my second time, I got the shrimp boil and boy was it oh oh so yummy. My shrimp boil was priced very reasonable. They told us that the would be selling alcohol May, 2023. They are located in the old DQ building. If you like seafood you’ll love this place.c They also have sandwiches and children menu. I will differently be going back and back and back.

As first time guests, the lady at the counter was helpful in guiding our lunch choice. We both ordered a combo of fried jumbo shrimp(4 ea)/scallops(2 ea) which came with one side (I got steamed broccoli;hubby got coleslaw), 2 hush puppies, and self-serve fountain drink. We left a 15% tip for counter service. She brought our meal to us on the open patio (facing Hwy 53) where we could eat and have our dog with us.
$35 was a LOT to pay for a “quick bite” for lunch. I guess it’s just a sign of the times.

Who knew that Pho and fried catfish would be happy plate-mates? I had the House Special Beef Pho and the hostess was kind enough to agree to also serve me a small side of fried catfish. The pho broth was authentic and flavorful, with tasty cuts of meat. The fried catfish was superb, not greasy, fragrant breading, a thin crisp and flavorful strip of fish that went really well with the sauces served. The place looks like a fast food joint from the outside and is clean and cheerful on the inside. I wasn’t expecting a cross cultural culinary experience, but I’m glad I visited! I’m lucky to keep finding culinary gems like these in Georgia!

I like the food! But the face I got on the last time I visited. Wow young lady was kinda a jerk. And I told her I couldn’t hear her over the intercom!!! She made a face like I didn’t see her. And I noticed how her and the cooked went back and forth. He looked right out at me the giveaway..I even tried explaining..death ears…I’ll go in from this point on. Sad thing my gf gets her nails done by the owner.UPDATE JUNE 25,2023 the staff is way friendlier!!!! Get one bad apple out of the batch ugly attitude!! I enjoy the new service!!! Feels great to give a tip!!! Last time I blessed the young lady with 10.00 and I ordered to go ! Today I gave 5 yes I ordered to go. Next time she gets 10!! Never can tell when your entertaining Angel’s so be nice to everyone!
