We've eaten here several times during each visit to the area. What impresses me the most is the continued level of excellence we experience. Crabby's is so consistent I like to say, "The worse meal I've ever had here was excellent" Tonight was no exception. This was our second visit on this trip. On our first, we ordered grilled Tilefish and blackened Mahi Mahi. Both were outstanding. Flavorful and moist. (in my opinion , overcooked seafood is nothing more than cat food) I've never had an overcooked meal here. On this visit, I ordered whole belly clams. My wife opted for clam strips. Both were also outstanding making another perfect visit. With our meals, sides offered include Cole slaw, hush puppies, fresh vegetables and plantains. I especially love the plantains and usually get them each time. Service remains flawless. One change we notices this year is a "service charge" of 18% its added to the bill and is a gratuity shared with the wait staff. I generally oppose service charges that are often labeled 'not a gratuity" but this is not the case here. Service is so good, it is appropriate to add to this service charge when we check out. Again, hats off to the owner/management. Maintaining excellence at the level they have been able to is not all that common from my experiences. Keep up the great work!
If you like fried oysters, this is the place for you. If you like Whole Belly Clams, this is the place for you. II you like the best oyster stew or crab bisque soup you've ever had, this is the place for you! This was our first try at Crabbys Oyster Bar and it was a hell of a start! Our service was excellent. The atmosphere was your typical oyster bar with high tops, bar service and booths. Great start. Our next visit, we'll try the fish offerings and report back.
Delicious food! Steamers, oysters Rockefeller, Dungeoness crabs, fried oysters. All was delicious!
These are incredible! Baked with lump crab, bacon and cheese! To die for! You have to try these!
Crabby's Oyster Bar is a casual fresh catch seafood restaurant right near the water, but not on it. It's located in a Publix plaza along with many other restaurants and shops, so there's plenty of parking. Though it's pretty casual, the prices definitely are not; be prepared to spend especially if you want to get their king crab which is market price. The service was a bit slow because they had hardly any wait staff working, which doesn't make sense especially on Memorial Day. Other than that it was decent and they were friendly. Now for the food. It's average at best and WAY over priced for the quality/flavor. We ordered the lion fish fritters which were a special today. They were tender and tasted good though a bit bland. I would say this was one thing I did like. We also ordered the fish dip and the crabcake appetizer. The fish dip was too fishy tasting (like it had gone bad or wasn't great quality; everyone knows that if a fish tastes or smells too unpleasantly fishy, it's most likely bad or cheap), so we didn't have much of it. It was $13 and I wouldn't have paid more than $6 for that if I had the choice due to the quality and taste; that's if I had to...I would never get it again, and my mom and sister agreed. The crab cake appetizer was one crab cake, but it tasted like a frozen crab cake from the grocery store; too much breading/extras and not enough actual crab. The taste was a bit off putting for me, and for $20 I'd expect more chunks of crab and less filler. Now onto the entrees: I ordered the fresh catch of the day which was yellowtail, and I got it pan seared with lemon cream sauce. I got extra sauce on the side and for sides I got the island cilantro rice and coleslaw. The yellowtail was fresh and tender but without the lemon sauce didn't have much flavor. The cilantro rice was very mildly flavored and bland. The coleslaw was ok, but definitely not the best. This meal was market price so it was $35; again, a little pricey for the casual nature of the restaurant and the flavor for sure wasn't worth it, but you got a decent amount of fish for the price ( I think 2 filets). Just wish it had more flavor, especially with a fish which doesn't have much flavor on its own. I ordered 1/2 lb. of king crab because you could add any crab to your entree and since it was called Crabby's I figured I had to try their signature food item. I've had king crab in a lot of different places over the years including Joe's stone crab. I know it's expensive due to the quality and how hard they are to catch. Unfortunately, Crabby's missed the mark for me. Not only was there only one very small crab leg that when picked up definitely was not 1/2 lb., suggesting they cheat their customers with the amount of crab they are supposed to get; but this one measly piece was $45....a ridiculous price even for King crab due to the amount. They don't tell you how many you are getting before you order nor do they weigh it in front of you. Again, it definitely wasn't 1/2 lb. I feel like I wasted my money. My mom and sister split a blackened mahi mahi sandwich which they said was fresh and decent. I didn't try it so I can't say for sure myself. TLDR: A casual seafood restaurant which was overpriced and the food was bland, though most of it was fresh. I definitely don't recommend Crabby's Oyster Bar and won't be coming back unless they change their flavors to match their prices or vice versa.
Crabby's in Jensen Beach never disappoints. Tonight on their oyster appetizer menu they had Andouille Rockeller oysters. These were amazing! It was an experiment from their chef. He hit the mark. I'm hoping they will keep these as a regular menu item, but I couldn't get a confirmation on that. Can't say enough good about this location. Jeff and his crew are amazing.
Could not be more happy to find this place! We are native new englanders and fussy about things like shellfish. We had snow crab, the lobster special, PEI oysters, and Ipswich steamers. All were perfectly fresh and perfectly cooked. Except of course the oysters which were raw but incredibly meaty and sweet. Yum! We had a fabulous server and food came out promptly. And the hush puppies were small but super delish. Ambiance is basically a crab boil type bar but with all that butter it's expected highly recommend!
Very busy little restaurant. Food was really good. Pictured is the grilled Mahi salad. Good portion of fish. We were told they make their own salad dressings, and they did not disappoint. I think it was an avocado balsamic, and it was really good. Standard salad, only 5 croutons on salad, . Other picture is the Crabbys Oscar. Very good. Had the fish, dip for and appetizer.And that wasn't too good, unless you cared for a very smoky, tasting fish dip.. Nothing special about the fish dip at all. The only other thing we noticed is it was extremely loud, I mean almost unbearably loud.. And now there was a football game going on. But we've been to tons of places like this, but for some reason, this one, the noise level was just actually uncomfortable...
You want to hang out and have some very good food, fantastic oysters and good prices on adult beverages this is the place. Everyday between 3 & 6 there are oysters specials as well as discounts on the adult beverages. The ambience has a chill old Florida vibe with servers who are well versed on what is available on the menu and give their opinions on what they feel is very good. If in the Jensen Brach area check out this place I believe you'll enjoy!
This is where I wanted to come for Mother's Day. It was great fun. Talking laughter and LOUD. I found this exhilarating! My husband's had a burger and he was a happy man, my son and I had each a dozen raw oysters. He had fried oysters as his "meal" and he left feet happily full. My other dish was the oyster stew which I ended up taking home because I was stuffed. This place does not disappoint and the staff are very happy helpful people who excel at their jobs.

Came for some oysters and was not disappointed! Delicious, great options and very fresh. Come during happy hour. Also had the crab cake sandwich, that is a real crab cake! So flavorful and real crab, not overstuffed with breadcrumbs or any other fillers. Steak sandwich was also good, great portion, flavorful and perfect thickness for a sandwich. Fresh catch was red snapper, pan seared in a beurre bland type of sauce with an island style rice. Great flavors! read more

This gem in an unassuming strip mall off the rotary in Jensen Beach is a godsend. Staff are nice but not saccharine and the service is quite good. Food is amazing. Hands down the best oyster stew I've ever had in my long years of seafood consumption. And it's made to order. They make their own ceasar dressing, too (my personal barometer for a decent restaurant). Steamed clams in traditional garlic broth made right at the bar is a consistent 'yes'. The smell alone makes me happy. As I write this, 2 big parties of 12-14 people are seated family style, but it's not overwhelming sitting at the bar a few feet away. Right off the railroad tracks, you can hear the roar of the Brightline as it rushes by, feel the rumble of the of the occasional freight train. I pity those folks who aren't able to stop in for a pint and some fresh mollusks from the northeast. Oh, did I mention the homemade key lime pie? Friday happy hour is usually pretty busy, but they have specials throughout the week. Do stop by sometime. I cannot encourage it enough. read more

When you walk in everyone greets you. We ordered crab legs and the special, yellowtail snapper. This fish was one of the best I have tasted, it was seasoned with some sort of lemon cream and it was hands down amazing. read more

Great little bar with an excellent selection of oysters. The grilled scallops were amazing as were the oyster rockefeller. Beer selection is good. A lot of the menu items were listed as MKT so you had to ask for the price. Each time the server had to ask someone which was a little unprepared. Place smelled a bit as well. But, overall was a good experience. read more
