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.

Don’t judge a book by its cover . It’s been here for over 25+ years as soon as you sit down hush puppies and delicious coleslaw is placed on the table . You get your bang for your buck. The service is superb . I believe six days ,seven days a week they have all you can eat stone cribs, ribs, shrimp whichever day you choose. I had the fried scallops plus a side of mashed potatoes with/ a brown gravy. First time in years I didn’t like my dish. G had 4 pieces of fried catfish. It’s a white fish, pretty good.

Found Dewey’s online. We were not disappointed! As soon as you sit down they bring hush puppies, best ever. Always wanted to try stone crab claws. Don’t have to try anymore. I had two pounds of claws with a side which was just enough food for me. This is not a cheap meal but a must try once in your life. My wife had the plain fried cat fish which was delicious and more budget friendly. Thanks Catfish Dewey for a great experience. Hope to be back some year.
