Crafty Crab, 700 Gervais Street Suite C: October 2025 5 comments

Posted at 11:26 pm in closing

Crafty Crab was one of Columbia's influx of crab-themed restaurants over the past several years, and replaced Tin Lizzy's Cantina in this Vista storefont. The recent Google reviews are interesting and share several themes, possibly pointing to the ultimate fate of the place, though I don't see any media articles on the closing.

The strip itself is quite busy: There was too much traffic to park and get a good shot of the place.

Weird I forgot about Tin Lizzy’s Cantina being here in Columbia. Their Atlanta locations are still thriving successfully. Columbia is a black hole when it comes to decent things lol.

Is this building cursed. I can't remember how many places have come and gone.

Liquor liability strikes again. They were sued for over serving a customer who was then in a vehicle crash. Same thing that happened at Henry's in Cayce.

is the O'Neil Ct location still open (old Applebee's)?

Also didn't this used to be Banana Joe's back in the day? I think I saw 7 Mary 3 here.
