This past Tuesday night my family and I decided to go out to eat after a day of shopping, and took advantage of the convenient location of the Coosaw Creek Crab Shack. (Read more...)

To My New Neighborhood:

Hi, my name is David Dean and I am the Operating Partner of the Coosaw Creek Crab Shack. You know: the big crab-orange building on Dorchester Road. In addition to joining the Crab Shack family two years ago, I have had the pleasure of becoming part of a larger neighborhood of families. The many loyal guests that I see all the time confirm my belief that I am part of something larger than just running a business.

Good things do come to those who wait. I worked in restaurant management for 30 years. One day opportunity knocked in the form of a phone call from Dan Doyle, the senior partner of the Crab Shacks. The name was all too familiar. Dan and I had worked in the same restaurant as servers many, many years ago (before computers)! Becoming a partner in an established restaurant was a life-long dream, and I appreciate the faith that Dan and Ryan have in my skills to run a successful operation. With family support from my wife Donna, and my two teenage children, Kaitlin and Michael, I look forward to a long tenure with my new business family.

Many heart-felt thanks to both the locals and to my team for making Coosaw a fun and friendly place to call “my second home.” Remember, when you come to my store for the first or thirty-first time, “there are no strangers here, only friends you haven’t met!”

Sincerely, David
