    Gross.  Crab is expensive.  Smells like the docks outside.  Tasted terrible.  Made us sick.  Not sure what that sauce is.  Not tasty.
    Que S.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Excellent food, selections, service and a great location. And an ice cream bar to top it off!

    Bairdi crab with sides of grits
    Jake A.

    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

    Key West Combo
    Laura F.

    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.

    Fish tacos
    Ricardo B.

    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.

    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

    Beautiful view from the upstairs bar! Great food and specials! Ben was a nice bartender and server !!

For starters, the calamari was perfectly crispy and fresh. Sauce ok, but the calamari was good all by itself. I highly recommend the butterflied snapper with steamed veggies. Delicious! The veggie pasta plate was huge and the pasta cooked to perfection. The shrimp scampi pasta was sooo good. The linguini was perfectly al dente and the shrimp big and plump and yummy. Oh! And let's not forget the mile high key lime pie. Even if you don't care for key lime pie you will absolutely love this one. It's more like a key lime ice cream but better.

It can be pretty frustrating, especially if you're visiting for the first time and end up driving around in circles trying to find it. Once you arrive, though, it's worth the effort. The restaurant is located right on the water next to the boat ramp and has an enormous amount of parking. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, along with a full bar area. The outdoor seating is especially nice since it's completely covered on the deck but with all of the bushes and plant surrounding the deck, you're not really getting much of a view. This visit, we opted to sit at the bar and were lucky enough to snag three seats together. Our bartender was awesome and did a fantastic job throughout the meal. They don't serve liquor here, only beer and wine, so I ordered a rosé. The bartender recommended a cute little $16 bottle that came in its own mini bucket. It was adorable and paired perfectly with my meal. For my entrée, I ordered the Ahi tuna with broccoli and a side salad. Everything was fresh and delicious. My husband, however, definitely won the meal competition with the shrimp stuffed with crab meat and mashed potatoes. I stole a bite, and wow--it was incredible. The flavor and texture were outstanding, and I'll absolutely be ordering that next time. One of the funniest parts of the visit was the bartender's T-shirt featuring Anthony Bourdain flipping you off on the back. They were selling them, and I couldn't resist buying one. I'm pretty excited to wear it. Overall, we always enjoy coming here. Great waterfront atmosphere, good food, friendly service, and plenty of parking make it a place we'll continue to visit.

This time, we came to celebrate my friend's birthday dinner. Our server was as sweet as could be, and the entertainer, Curtis, absolutely made the night. He was so interactive with us, took song requests, and we were joking throughout the night. We requested a couple of songs, and he did an amazing job. The bartender also made us some fun shots that added to the celebration. Unfortunately, my food experience wasn't nearly as enjoyable. I had spent the day at a friend's event where there was plenty of food, including Vicky's (which is always delicious). By the time I met everyone for dinner about an hour and a half later--after stopping at Boston's for a drink--I really wasn't very hungry. I specifically asked for a small salad with meatballs because I just wanted something light. Instead, a large salad was brought to the table. I immediately mentioned it to our server, explaining that I had ordered the small salad because I wouldn't be able to finish a large one. She said she would adjust it. About 15 minutes later, the meatballs arrived, and they were almost impossible to eat. They were so tough that I couldn't even cut them with my knife. At one point, I was literally pounding on one with my fork against the plate because it was hard as a rock. The waitress came over horrified of this experience and said she would remove it off the bill. I'm not here trying to get a free meal. I just want a good meal and something I actually ordered. The waitress did remove the meatballs from my bill, which I appreciated. However, I was still charged for the large salad even though I had ordered a small one and pointed out the mistake as soon as it arrived. I barely made a dent in it and ended up taking most of it home. Aside from the disappointing food and billing issue, we still managed to have a great evening thanks to Curtis. His energy, talent, and interaction completely changed the atmosphere and honestly saved the experience. If it hadn't been for him, my rating would have been much lower.

I was excited at the selection of draft beer chose a Mango Cart while my husband had a Long Island iced tea.... He shared that it was perfect. We skipped appetizers as we had had a late lunch . It's funny that we both leaned towards proteins and he devoured his meatloaf before I hardly saw it and my smash burger was right on point with their new steak fries. I subbed his brussels sprouts for the carrots as they're one of my favorites and he is not a veggie guy- the flavor profile was spot on, and I would order them as an appetizer in the future. It is always safe to say I'll be back over and over and have never been disappointed ! If you guys look at my reviews and don't see one for any restaurant in Fort Pierce or Vero that typically means that I had to follow my mom's advice- if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. I will always be honest and hope that each of you enjoyed this review along with my others.

Literally instead of a hello We had already been told this by the hostess as she seated us and considering they've got it on the menu as well as at the table in big letters, I'm assuming this is a problem for most people. It is for me. I will usually tip even at lunch 25% for good service but when the management is forcing me to pay 18%, whether the service is good or not, then that's what I'm going to pay. Management is not doing their wait staff any favors. I took a star off for that. As far as the food, I was pleasantly surprised. I had fried green tomatoes and the fish and chips. My niece had a smash burger. She says hers was excellent. The fried green tomatoes were literally the best I've ever had. Which is saying a lot because I love this appetizer and will usually order it in any southern restaurant. The fish and chips were also good but not great. The fish was tender, and the breading was crispy and not too soggy, but it was not perfectly crispy. The french fries were lacking in flavor and chewy. But basically the food was good and the service was satisfactory but not great. But I will be back to try other items on the menu -/ if you're setting the bar for an 18% tip then that saves the customers a lot of money when they would usually do 25 to 30%. When I see this in a restaurant, it tells me that the management does not want to dip in their profits to give their employees health insurance, but depends on the customer to do it for them.
