Seemed like just us but our waitress was not attentive. Didn’t ask how the food was, didn’t ask if we’d like a drink refill. Had to flag her for anything we needed. Just basically ignored us until time to settle the bill which was over $100 dollars.

Definitely a great place to go for stone crabs. Fresh and delicious with plenty of choices on sizes and amounts. Parking is always stressful and service is friendly but inattentive because they are so busy.

The 2lbs of large stone crabs is certainly worthwhile.

The stone crabs were good but the service was lackluster and on the bill it offered only a 20% or 25% gratuity and a surcharge for credit card payment.

You just can’t beat the “All you can eat” snow crab at Catfish Dewey’s. You get a small dish of coleslaw for each person and a basket of hushpuppies for the table. Service is friendly and fast. Only negative was first round of crab could have been a little hotter and the shrimp in the low country boil was a tad overcooked. Baby back ribs were tender and delicious. We will be back.
