Lowry’s Crab Shack

We love this place, but only go in the summer as seating inside is tight. The crab balls are fantastic as are the corn fritters. They have the best ice cream and sometimes we go for desert only.
You can even bring your dog if it is well-​behaved.
Fun spot!

This place is my favorite!!! They used to be only seasonal, so I’m thrilled they’re open all year long now. The outside patio area has a wonderful ambiance; feels like you’re on a beach, big umbrellas and high powered fans keep you cool. The staff is friendly and it’s just a feel-​good place with feel-​good people working it.
The food is on point. I have a tradition of going with my Dad and friends for their all you can eat specials — check the chalkboard from the road to see the dates. Also noteworthy is their fried pickles and the crab’s biggest competitor is the fried chicken.
Sometimes you have to wait for your food, but that’s because they only steam the crabs when you order them, or only fry the chicken when you order it, so how can you complain when it’s that fresh?
Great place to fill that urge for beer, crabs, fried chicken, and hushpuppies. Can’t go wrong :)

The food was good, but the wait to pay for the order was too long. But still, if you want to feel like you are by the beach, I would say go To this place. It’s great. Staff was extremely friendly. Good was delicious and filling.

For those familiar with Hamilton, this is not a large town. But this is a nice gem, with a deep menu (including «land lubbers plates») that should satisfy just about any palate. Nothing was over-​the-​top outstanding, but in this region, you definitely want to try the crab items. For which there are a dozen or more. One in my group had the oyster stew and thought it was pretty good. The homemade potato salad came highly recommended, but wasn’t necessarily for my Texas palate (which is probably more used to it with barbeque).
There’s an inside and outside, it was a little cool for the outside for us. Inside is cramped, but it’s just a small place. Eclectic décor on the wall make it feel casual.
They had a surprisingly deep beer menu given the size.
If you’re in Hamilton, this is a good place to stop!
