The feel of an "end of the pier" family restaurant There are just a few restaurants that overlook the boats in this area. We chose this one and it was ok. Upstairs which looked the best was "full" and on rainy day and wet. So we went inside which had no atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon and was very cold due to A/C. Good friendly service and apparently excellent clam chowder and fish dip from very fishy menu. My fried chicken was large and bathed in buffalo sauce. Fresh hot fries and fair cocktails and beers. The inside had ice cream bar and well stocked bar bar. Really not a place to go except for the location and reasonable food. read more

If you're in Ft. Pierce, this restaurant is a great place to eat. Beautiful location, two story with a bar and ice cream shop in the lower level. The drinks were great and the food was great! A little bit touristy but overall good food. read more

Oh Crabby's. Shame on you. Why do you think your restaurant is empty during the busy holiday season? The crab is expensive, not fresh, tastes terrible and is smelly like the docks outside the place. Crabby's knows this. We expected an empty reply. Something like, 'sorry it didn't meet your high expectation.' 'Take more of your time to write us about it.' 'Our commitment to excellence.' M'am you're not honest. You know you are delivering garbage. How about we come by now and you give us our money back? We post when it is amazing. Or, when we wish we knew. Because we all felt sick after eating at Crabby's, and someone woke up sick we are taking time to warn. Crabby's has other reviews that say the same. The representative says they are sorry and makes excuses. Crabby's what do you like when you go out with our hard earned money? Crabby's, would you like us serving you a spoiled soaked salad that has been sitting around all day? Is that salt and sugar in the Caesar dressing? There was not a crisp fresh bite. You know this though, don't you? There is no excuse and apologies are insulting. The plates were sent out. What's the truth about your crab Crabby's? Discount, bulk, frozen? Once defrosted sitting around for days? The crab was a smaller portion than pictured. The charge is for the weight of the shells, not the food. There was very little food in the spoiled fishy tasting claws. We worked to crack through. The sauce, ewe. It was not edible. We were hungry. It was expensive. It was gross. The fact the place was pumped with freezing cold air at night caused the food to get cold immediately. We sat there freezing. One of us was wearing a coat we ski in. It was uncomfortable. People have posted about that before. Someone ordered tea, mentioning it's freezing. The server joked. No tea was served. The fish and chips... have you had fish and chips? Crabby's was one rubbery piece of disgusting cold fish. What kind, is hard to say. No crispy batter coating. Not a yummy bite. Cold fries. How do you ruin fries? The food sat on our plates. The server ignored that. We were polite to them and tipped. Dirty dishes piled up as we ate, crab shells and napkins piled up. Despite only a few other guests being there. No one asked did we need anything. No one asked did we need more water. We gave Crabby's a chance, after waiting a while to be seated. Crabby's stole from it's customers. You know you are delivering garbage. You know when you feel uncomfortable to leave plates full of food? The server instead of noting the obvious, the food is all still on the plates, no one touched the disgusting salad, what does that tell them? "Would you like some to-go boxes?" We thanked the server, tipped them for what they did not earn. So you take it. You know you will never eat it. You feel guilty for the wasted food. People, including ourselves are hungry. That was our fancy night out. We are on today's budget. When we went to the grocery store after, to get something to eat. We thought about the amount of hours we worked to pay for the Crabby's experience. Someone in our family works on their feet, a full time shift, to pay for that. Shame on you Crabby's. Nothing presented was edible. No care was in the customer experience. It was expensive. You have been told on Yelp, you are there, and you know better. Customers may like to know what you do to make this right Crabby's. Spare the empty apologies and phrases like 'sorry your experience didn't meet your expectations.' -in faith Thank you. read more

Beautiful ocean view and upbeat vibes! Hate I didn't get pics! The food was SO good. Mahi tacos and cheese grits left me craving them the very next day! Service was great and the Rum Runners were next level. The entire family enjoyed each of their choices. Definitely a circle back when visiting Florida next go round. read more

Went here with a friend while we were down in Florida doing some family business. We started out with the Gator nuggets appetizers, not bad, more of a novelty. Both of the main courses were great, I had the Hogfish Snapper and my friend had the Crab shrimp boil (in a bag) the sides were also delicious. The mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese were delicious. We ended the meal with Key Lime pie and an ice cream sundae. Our waiter Kyle was great and always on hand to get things that we needed. His recommendations were spot on! Will return someday. read more

Great harborside views! Casual, laid back environment. A plus is the ice cream stand inside of the restaurant. Service is good as well.

Ordered 2 fish and chips meals, received one. Called restaurant and told it's not their problem to call door dash. All food we actually received was too salty to eat. I do NOT recommend this restaurant read more

Great place for lunch on a Saturday. We could not have had a more pleasant server than Jess. She even offered me a sample of the clam chowder when I asked how thick it was. I ordered the chowder and it was terrific. You can taste the clams and the bacon. It is thick but not too thick. I also had the shrimp nachos which were on their seasonal menu. Wonderful! It was easy to hear the others at my table and the view was top notch. read more

We stopped here while staying on the coast. The crab was ridiculously good. We ordered the bairdi crab legs they came out drenched in old bay and paprika and ready to go. The drinks were ok not very strong. The restaurant was very ocean themed which I liked. The ice cream shop inside is a must. My son loved the strawberry ice cream it was very light and not sugary it was almost like sherbet. We will be back, our waiter was very good not overbearing which was good because eating crab legs is a chore read more

This was a nice spot right on the Fort Pierce marina with great views. The food came out quickly and was great. The key west combo was on the sweeter side but balanced well while the grouper bite appetizer was on the savory side. This is a great combo and all while enjoying a nice view on the second floor! Our waiter Logan was so friendly and attentive. read more

Come here for the view and enjoy a good meal with great service. If it's not too hot, request a table outside on their second floor: you get downtown historic fort pierce on one side and the marina on the other side. I had a cup of their clam chowder (it was more of a bowl than a cup) and it was good: chunky, salty, creamy. I also asked for the mahi-mahi tacos with mango salsa and a street corn for my side. The tacos were good but needed a little more lemon for my taste. But that's on me because the plate came with three really juicy lemon wedges. The corn was delicious and it hit the spot with the cream, the spice and the corn itself wasn't that sweet so everything worked. We didn't leave room For dessert so we will have to come back! Oh! You can buy ice cream on the first floor by the way and that I've had before. Service was friendly and prompt. read more

The food seems to be consistent the many times we have gone. I do love the ambiance, when it's nice outside, ask for a window seat! The breeze is amazing and the view is awesome. You can sit outside in front of the place, outside upstairs or even a walk up bar. Either way, they have easy access. They also didn't freak out over a service dog, you'd be surprised how many places do. They have a separately priced ice cream parlor also, and it's yummy. The food is always good, no it's not a mom and pop, yes it's a chain, but the food is good and prices are reasonable (average $15-$20 per person). read more

We went with a group last night. The hostess was great and welcoming and made a table add so we wouldn't be crowded.. Our server Sky did a fantastic job, she accommodated separate checks and did everything right; the place is cute. The food was not on par as it was when we came to lunch previously. The fish was fresh but the prep forgot to season. The tropical slaw was bland, as was coconut rice, shrimp, fish etc. I don't know if the cooks changed or? Disappointed for sure. read more

Good variety of different types of food. We had a mix of appetizers and a bowl of clam chowder. The soup was very tasty. The hush puppies hit the spot. Loved the fried pickles too read more

10/10 best seafood in the area. I have been here twice. The service is fast. The vibes are chill. I'll be back when I'm in town again.

Loved the water view but the food left something to be desired. Opted to get the local grouper and shrimp plate and it tasted just completely salty and overcooked. The tropical coleslaw, was just like normal coleslaw and the oysters were very tiny and all you could taste was the cheese melted on top. The one semi decent thing was the Caribbean corn. The waitress was nice but came and took everyone's plates off the table as I was still eating (like mid bite), which was a little off putting. I was grateful though that they let us hang out at the table after our meal to visit with family. Not sure if I would come back again. read more

Beautiful place on the water. I only had an appetizer and a few beers and so I will give an updated review at another time. However the calamari was underwhelming. Mostly cherry peppers and very bland. However I feel like this is a mistake they can correct upon receiving feedback which I gave. read more

Went here for my B-Day and all was great! Did not get a chance to take pics of food. For starters we had "Onion Rings." Very crunchy and tasty and "Creamy Crab & Spinach Dip." Also very good. I and the "Key West Combo" which consist of grilled Mahi, shrimps and conch fritters in a lime honey mustard sauce. I and a Caesar Salad and Corn on the cob. Too much food had to bring it home for next day. All yummy and tasty. Environment is very family oriented. Waitress was very cordial and the owner Jack was also very cordial and attentive. It was a large group and the wait time was reasonable. Highly recommended. read more

Had a great early New Years Eve dinner at Crabby's. It was a beautiful day and we sat at a table at an open air window facing the marina. Our very friendly and attentive waitress kept our drinks full and the table clean. We had delicious conch fritters, I had a fried fish and clam strip plate and Sherry had baked scallops. All were fresh and so tasty! What a great spot to spend a sunny afternoon. There was live music on the patio as well. What a nice place! read more

I have no idea what people posting here order at Crabbys. It's absolutely awful. Nothing is fresh and service is terrible. I'm a native and there are so many better places to eat fresh seafood!

Went to crabby's with a local who had not been there for a couple years as Covid really put a damper on Fort Pierce nightlife till Governor decided to Use his brain to figure out that this Covid thing was doing more harm economically than imagined and put things back to normal... way to go Gov We both liked the food.

Great 2 story indoor outdoor restaurant. Parking may be a challenge. Great bar upstairs & downstairs. Casual atmosphere Conch fritters are good especially with their mustard style dipping sauce. Stuffed oysters are good - could use a little more crab and less cheese. Still good. Cold beer. I'd like to come here a couple more times to try more items on the menu. Regardless; your on the water - what more could you ask for. Thanks Nicole for taking care of us!!!! read more

We had a group of 14. Four people in our group didn't eat their food because it was disgusting. One of the steaks came out well done when it was ordered med/rare. Another person told the server her food was not good and she didn't eat it and was charged for it. This is the second we've been here and it is definitely the last time. Very sad because they have a great spot and view but the food is not good and the service isn't great either. read more

Something almost like a three from me. Could have been better. Watery weak drinks, thankfully nobody ever asked about reorders in the two plus hours we were stuck there. I really didn't want to make a day of it but everything was a wait even though they were coming down from Sunday lunch rush. Our waitress was dutiful and friendly enough but clearly over worked with way too many tables. And the apathetic kid who dropped off our Key Lime pie literally dropped it off! What a schmuck!! Wait staff laughed it off too when I mentioned it. Buggers. Anyway, whatever was good about the food and the view was lost by everything else. Meh. read more

It was dark and rainy and we were hungry in a place we've never been before. Crabby's shined like a beacon on the bay! There were only a couple other people dining there; to be fair, the entire town was pretty quiet in anticipation of Hurricane Ian the following day. So, we were seated right away, orders taken and food brought out super quickly. Everything was tasty and we enjoyed our meal. The location of Crabby's is quite pretty, as well. It sits right on the bay, with boat docks nearby and a sort of plaza of shops. Tons of parking and apparently other things to do there, during a regular, non-stormy day. Give it a try! read more
