Editorial Review for South Street Original Crab Shack & Authentic Dive Bar – by Mindy Merrell
In Short
A breeze reminiscent of spring break on the Redneck Riviera blows in through rolled-up garage door windows both upstairs and down at this restaurant decorated like a treehouse. The menu offers gritty Gulf Coast cuisine designed to cure the munchies. Oysters are cold, fresh and straight from Louisiana. The diverdillas--open-face tortillas--are deliciously and deceptively akin to thin-crust pizza. Side items include slaw, white beans and Cuban corn, while one dessert offering is a made-fresh nutty buddy.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoThis rockin' venue also offers lighter fare. Ask for the skinny pig or the veggie garden burger on wheat bread.

I go for the smokin thighs and the southern onion dressing. awesome! Further, if Jesse is working, sit at his bar and prepare to be entertained with a witty personality, top-notch skills and great conversation. If manager David is on duty, he'll surely stop by to check on your well-being. These two cats make the place! I go every chance I get.
Pros: everything
Cons: parkings iffy, but so what. Keep looking 'till you find something

My wife and I were asking around for a seafood place while in Nashville and this came highly recommended. Boy was that guy wrong. We wanted a more intimate sit down place and this is the opposite. I looked at the menu and it seemed tasty, hoping the food would match the prices...NO WAY. Our server must have been having the worst day of her life because she was rude, unattentive, and came by only once after we were served. Not to mention they got my wife's order wrong. I found myself waiting for 10 minutes before getting another beer. The food was horrible and I would recommend not going to this place. You would get a better seafood meal at Long John Silver's. Save your money and treat yourself to better.
Pros: None
Cons: Poor food and service, noisy and overpriced
