Crabbies Beachside took over Panama Hattie's. We LOVED them and were sad to see them close. So we decided to give Crabbies a chance. We ordered out instead of dining in due to weather And leaving the next day so we did not want a bunch of leftovers. We ordered the coconut shrimp appetizer $14.99 and the boiled peel shrimp appetizer, and spinach artichoke crab dip. We asked how many shrimp come in the boiled hand peel half order for $16.99 Because the menu does not list how many come in the orders. The girl said 16. My husband picked up the food and returned back to our condo. There was 7 Boiled shrimp and 7 coconut shrimp. 7 shrimp for $16.99? That's $2.42 a shrimp!!! And don't say inflation when Sunset Grille a few yards down gives you 6 for $10.99. Highly disappointed in the amount for the price And they were not even that good. We will not go back ever. read more

Crabby's Beachside - 7 boiled shrimp for $16.99?! That's $2.43 per shrimp..... - Seafood Near Me - St Augustine, Florida

See all

Great atmosphere, great food, and the most incredible service courtesy of Annika on the upstairs patio.

Reece is the best server! We dinned for the first time as this new restaurant and Reece Bull was our server. Reese accommodated us as we requested to move inside as the outside deck was a little too cold with the breeze. He happily sat us inside and set up the table for us. We asked for recommendations and he quickly assisted. Food was served quickly, lorge portions and Reece kept a check on us constantly to see if we needed anything. He is by far the best server I have had in some time at any restaurant. So ask for him and you will be well taken care of. read more

My wife and I had lunch here today, it was our first visit. We split an appetizer of Calamari, it was very good. The calamari was tender without too much breading. We also split an order of fish and chips, it was also very good. The service was fine. We sat on the top deck with a nice view of the ocean and pier. Overall I'd recommend trying Crabby's. read more

The service was disappointingly slow, with minimal attention from the staff. We had to request our bill and then return it ourselves. Improvement in service efficiency is needed. read more

We had Alex as a server he was great! The food not so much! We eat out at a lot the restaurants on the Island, this one we tried and won't be back! The food was flavorless and mostly deep fried which not a favorite choice but we did order some appetizers that were. I hope the best for your restaurant and may God bless you and your staff! read more

Food was great. The service was great. The drinks were weak, they were more like a mock tail than a cocktail. I brought part of my drink back home, put it in the freezer and within an hour it was frozen solid. read more

Crabby's Beachside is just ok. The view from the top deck is nice but the food was just ok. 3 of the 5 people in our party ordered crab legs and they were meaty and tasted great but were very pricey, even by crab leg standards. The other 2 people ordered shrimp and it was average. One of our shrimp meals was accidentally taken to another table so 4 of us had food while the other didn't have his meal until we were almost finished. That was after waiting almost an hour for our food in the first place. We also ordered key lime pie for dessert based on the menu saying it was award winning, it was not... I definitely would not go back, there are plenty of great restaurants in St. Augustine that have better food and service for half the price. read more

We ate here because it was close to the house we rented. I had the coconut shrimp, grits, and fries. It was ok but not great. Needs a pina colada sauce and would be better. Grits were terrible. read more

My wife, myself and our dog visited twice during our time in St. Augustine Beach. The food and service were excellent on both occasions. Many options to choose from. Definitely a place to try while you're in the area. read more

Welcome new addition to the beach. I've been to Crabby's in Daytona and liked it. It seemed they are appealing more to tourists than locals based on their Happy Hour. A 16 oz domestic is $6.00 - for Happy Hour? Don't price yourself out of the market for locals! read more

Only reason it's a two star is because the one new bartender at the downstairs was nice and patient. The other bar tender that came to join her seemed like she was on drugs and out of it. Seems like poor management and hiring. I don't think this place will last longer than a week. Good luck read more

Avocado egg rolls! Live music! Beach vibes! Great service! First time here but will def be back!

First of all, you have to go up stairs outside to get to the inside restaurant! They serve water in plastic cups and coffee in paper cups! The food was not very good!! I had the French Toast! Definitely not coming back!! read more

Excellent service! Delicious food! Just arrived from NY-first time visiting St Augustine Beach and we will definitely be back to Crabby's while we're here...probably many times! Such a great experience! Thanks to all who greeted us, served us and cooked for us!! :) read more

The ambiance is the same as before it changed hands, meh. The kitchen didn't time things correctly so we were eating salads and appetizers and one meal all on top of each other. The food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and we will go back again and again!!! read more

We had Morgan ad our bartender and she was AMAZING!!! Very personal and pleasant!! We will definitely be back!!!

this might be the best breakfast in Saint Augustine. This restaurant is spacious, clean and delicious. There was no wait to sit us for breakfast. The crabcake Benedict blew me away. The Gouda grits sign me up. i'm not wearing any socks, but if I was, they would've been knocked right off my feet. You're doing a great disservice to yourself if you don't go to crabby's tomorrow. if you care about your family, God, this country and small business, you better get to crabby's. read more

We just had an excellent meal here! Also friendly service from Haley. The Cleveland oysters were delicious! I had the salmon with a side of mac 'n cheese. Both good, salmon perfect! He had fish and chips which he loved. Don't get the onion rings. They're the super thin ones which are so greasy. We were very satisfied. read more

We have been living here for the past 8 years and recently we saw that there was a new restaurant in town, so we decided to try it. It ended in a disaster, I got the mussels and it tasted like they dumped a bottle of wine into it and the cocktails were like a juice box. (Barley any alcohol)Simply it was an overpriced and no good restaurant. read more

Carol was great. We came in for breakfast 3 days in a role cause the service and the food was great. Also got dinner on the rooftop patio. It was a great time. read more

Good food but the service was eh and the food took forever! Ambiance was as always great on the water

The food was ok. A bit hit and miss. The onion rings would have been great, real onions sliced thin and breaded, but they were fried in oil where you could taste that fish had been fried in the same oil. My Chicken tacos were good. They even made them with grilled chicken instead of fried chicken when I asked. Our server was very nice and accommodating. We had a large group of 10 and unfortunately one of our entrées did not come out with the others. It was a long delay until it came to the table, but the restaurant made it right by comping that entree. The ambience was great and what you would expect from a beach restaurant. They also have an extensive drink menu. read more

Crabby's for brunch!! Awesome bloody Mary's and exceptional food! I had the chicken an waffles with sweet datil pepper sauce and hubby had shrimp and grits. Great service too!!! read more

The service was excellent! The food was barely edible. The mussels tasted very fishy. The grouper was full of salt and had no other taste. Do not recommend Crabby's. read more

Wow.... Just wow. I've been to this location twice and do I have to say the service here is phenomenal, I am a chef at Panda Express and a few things I can say is the hospitality and the food are impeccable. Fran was my server my first visit and he was a joy to talk to and a great employee was on top of everything and gave a great conversation. And man the boss man Mike is a god a customer service, this time I ordered to go and there was a slight mess up on one item but mike had my back. Not only did he fix it he made my visit with his great attitude and high standard highly recommended this place to anyone in saint augustine area. Definitely coming again. read more

The food was delicious! Oysters were fresh and worth the money. Thanks Brandy for the excellent service!

Excellent spicy red shrimp! My husband ate 2 pounds! Oysters 3 ways was a nice treat! It was a beauty of a day on the oceanfront deck! 5 stars!!!!! read more

Nothing special about this place, food was mediocre at best, tried 1 time and won't be back

Do not under any circumstances eat at this restaurant. They served oysters with a LIVING CRAB parasite crawling in the shell (see video). The server and surrounding patrons were shocked, while the manager offered no apology. Unacceptable. read more

Food was great and the service was the best. Highly recommend dinning at the bar w/ Stryker as your bartender.

Mike was wonderful! He recommended the egg rolls which were phenomenal and made me a delicious virgin pina colada! Go check out crabbed and ask for Mike!!! He will make sure you're well taken care of with a smile on his face! read more

Great drinks ! Fun vibe. Food was okay although I've only ate there once, would definitely try again in future. Service was attentive.

Best dining experience in St Augustine Beach so far! Our server, Shain, provided great service and was very friendly and knowledgeable regarding the menu. Shain recommended the Key West Grilled Combo and it was a winner. Quentin grilled the absolutely best mahi mahi we've ever tasted in a restaurant. And the skewered shrimp were perfect! Shain and Quentin are a great asset to this restaurant! read more

The fried food is good. Baked food was disgusting specifically the stuffed flounder. The chowder was room temperature and mashed potatoes cold. Go the Seafood Kitchen! read more

I tried 2x and was disappointed both times ... Fried food and high drink prices will make this a typical tourist spot.

5 Stars for sure!!!! The servers were were kind and attentive and the food was absolutely delicious!!! Crabby's is definitely our new favorite place! We are so happy that you all in St. Augustine read more

On Wed night, July17, at 7pm, my husband and I approached the hostess at the front stand in Crabby's; she seemed scatter-brained and distracted. She said it would be a 30-40 min wait, but we glanced at several empty tables. We said we'd wait, but after a long pause, I asked her if she needed our contact info for the wait list? She then took our ph #. We walked to the bar for a drink to wait for a table. We found a few empty bar stools and waited for one of two bartenders to take our drink order, and we waited and waited and waited. We watched chaos, inefficiency and customers being ignored. Both bartenders repeatedly went out to the dining room for things and back, they also spent time fussing with the POS system. During this time, not a single drink was made. After waiting 16 mins without any acknowledgement, we witnessed two separate parties grumble their frustration of waiting 30 mins without being waited on, then got up to leave. We followed behind them leaving Crabby's, telling a few incoming customers not to bother eating here, slow service. The bartenders never noticed 3 different parties leaving. So, it seems Crabby's is severely under staffed and untrained staff. read more

Our first visit. Sydney did a fabulous job and the food was excellent! Highly recommend this place.

Great place across from beach. Food was well done. We had the crab spinach dip, delish! Friends had gator bites said they were awesome! Had the Stuffed flounder , again Delicious!!! Seasoning for crab was on point!! Will be back!!! read more
