Whole belly clams
Mike B.

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!

Whole Belly Clams

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.

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.

Ipswich Steamers
Cindi W.

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!

Crabbys Oscar
Diana D.

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...

2 dozen freshly shucked oysters from VA.

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!

It'sFried Fried Oyster Sandwich
Janette M.

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.

Both the food and beer selection was quite good, old Florida feel even though it's in a strip mall.

We went two days in a row during our weekend stay in town!…read moreAmbiance (5/5): Plenty of seating indoors and some outdoor as well. Classic diner set up and ability to onlook where the wait staff prepare the finishing touches to the dishes. Service (5/5): The service for this joint is very much which made my experience. The wait staff women were a delight-- sweet, friendly, and eager to help! They provided updates, refreshed our beverages, sincere when an error was made, and provided recommendations too. Food (5/5): There is so much on the menu to try! Huge portions for an affordable rate. Don't miss out on their freshly baked goods. We loved the cinnamon bun over the coffee cake but both were very good and served warm. The pulled pork benedict special was very tender and had loads of flavor. I enjoyed the corned beef but liked the benedict more. The second day, we enjoyed omelet and brioche bun French toast.

Second time visiting Jan's…read more Atmosphere: Located in downtown Jensen Beach Jans has a nice people watching area with several outside tables. The interior is packed with boots and limited bar seating. Service: My server JJ was great. Attentive but not overbearing, efficient but not rushing. The Food: I ordered the standard order (3 pancakes) of buttermilk pancakes, a side of link sausage and a breakfast tea with honey and steamed milk. The pancakes were great and humongous (hint: if your order pancakes, order the short stack). The sausage were plump diner style sausage with a hint of spiciness. So why only four stars? Two reasons caused them to lose a star (1) they only offered Earl Grey tea. No English Breakfast. I'm always amazed when a restaurant doesn't stock an item that costs little and isn't perishable like English Breakfast (black tea). They'll tell you it's the same as black tea but to a tea drinker that's just not true. (2) as a single diner, I always use my iPad and Jans is one of the few breakfast places that doesn't offer wifi! For a single diner or someone intent on taking care of business when grabbing a bite to eat, this is a major issue. It will cause me to mark Hans off my breakfast spots to eat at list. These two issues may not hinder you from dining and if their not important to you, you'll enjoy your breakfast at this local restaurant.
