Review of West Ashley Crab Shack

Probably not going back. We just moved to Charles...

Probably not going back. We just moved to Charleston and very much look forward to trying all the incredible restaurants here. To start I asked for what seasonal beers they had, but said I was good with a ShockTop if they didn't have any. Waiter said he'd check with the bar to see if they where out of their seasonals. Waiter never said anything else about beer, simply brought me a ShockTop. We ordered hush puppy appetizers (we have two young boys so we always do appetizers to keep them satiated). Waiter forgot to bring the hush puppies. He didn't return until our dinner was served at which point we reminded him about the hush puppies. I would give the Shrimp-and-Grits a 3/5, it was okay. My wife's crab cakes were a 2/5. After asking for and receiving the check, we waited almost as long as it took us to eat dinner for the waiter to return to take our card. Not what I expect for a $70 dinner.
