The food was really good too- I definitely recommend the grouper sandwich and pretzel appetizer. It's also family friendly with an arcade and kids specials. While the service couldn't have been friendlier, it was a little slow which is why I had to knock it down a star. Also, we ate inside so we didn't experience this, but we heard it can get a little loud outside with the live music so just keep that in mind... but this was my family's second time here and if/when I'm back in Vero Beach, I'll be sure to return!

The food was low grade dog food. Sorry Rodney. Let's start with the seafood trio sampler. Fried bites of shrimp, calmare and white fish. Ugly plating on old shredded lettuce and shrimp so small, I needed to get new glasses to see them. I'm from Boston so let's go with the lobster roll. The meat was embarrassing dry like it had been left in a open pan in the walk in. The Mac n cheese should be indicted on impersonating a classic dish. The live music was a dude with a canned music machine... fitting. But the kid who served us was great.

We made a reservation for three to celebrate my birthday. Upon parking in front of the restaurant,…read morethe first thing we noticed was the entrance--dirty, outdated, and poorly maintained--which was immediately discouraging. We arrived a few minutes early and were met by an older blonde woman who greeted us with clear displeasure. She offered no courtesy, not even a simple "good evening," and instead sternly informed us that we were early. Our reservation was for 5:00 p.m., and we had arrived approximately ten minutes in advance. The interaction left us disappointed and uncomfortable, especially on a special occasion. We had no desire to continue the evening under such unwelcoming treatment. We do not mind paying for quality, but it must be accompanied by professionalism and respect. We certainly will not accept rude or uneducated behavior from staff. We ended up going to one of our favorite restaurant Ocean Grill. In order to write this review I had to give 1 star .

Stopped at Bobby's on a Sunday for a bite around 2pm. The ambiance was casual and the place looked,…read moreI'm assuming, just how it must have in the 1970s. The lounge, located in a separate room, was standing room only. The average age of the crowd was in their mid-60s or 70s, which is likely more typical of Vero Beach than Bobby's in general. We ordered a few things to try including a fried grouper sandwich, a cheeseburger and an order of ribs off the appetizer menu. The grouper was lacking in flavor, but was hot and fresh. The ribs were "fall off the bone" and actually decent. The burger was probably the best of the 3, it wasn't bad at all. Service was fast and she was pleasant. We didn't have to ask twice for anything. One thing I will note, the men's room was dirty, similar to a dive bar's bathroom. Maybe because the place is old and in need of an update but it made me wonder if other parts of the establishment were unclean.

Strangely we tried to go to a nearby restaurant that closed at 2 pm for lunch. The hostess there recommended Bobbie's and as they say a person in the trade recommending somewhere is a good sign. Apparently famous for French dip - I tried it and nothing special but ok and hit the spot. My wife had blackened Salmon which was large and she could not stop overeating it. They are also renown for fresh fish so not surprisingly the Salmon was first class. Separately there is a bar that was full but strangely they had no fraught beer available in the restaurant. Service attentive and would go back again if the opportunity presents between 2 and 5 and could not get into other place.

*INITIAL REVIEW*…read more Today, my family and I celebrated Mother's Day given the fact one of my sisters and I would be too busy to celebrate it on the actual day. Ergo, we made a trip down to Vero Beach and had fun at both McKee Botanical Gardens and the Vero Beach Museum of Art (VBMA), both which got stellar reviews by me in the past. In between both locales, we were hungry and needed to eat someplace local. I had some suggestions, but my mom was in the mood for seafood. As a suggestion from reviews, The Crab Stop of Vero Beach was ultimately decided upon. I have to say, I am happy this restaurant was suggested because it is very good. Even though an address is provided, The Crab Spot of Vero Beach (which I will shorthand simply to Crab Spot for the remainder of this review) is located on the southside of the entryway into Royal Palm Place, one of the many extensions leading out into the water near US-1, but this one is known for the Royal Palm Park at the end. Initial display, decor, and ambiance has the stereotypical local dive bar look with elements showcasing they specialize in seafood, and the little bits of rustic flaws adds a bit of character for what they are. I would not expect such a look for a high-end restaurant, but this works for a local place on the river. The chairs squeeked, the table wobbled a bit in which the waitress fixed with some coasters, and the plates were chipped. No problem at all. There was even outdoor seating in the back bar-style which gives you a nice view of the canal that leads to the river. It was high sun, so we opted for the air conditioning. Now we move on to the food. I have to say that the majority of our food was really good, and when you adjusted to what you are eating, it was top-notch. Key word, however, is the "majority." The good: the hush puppies basket as you get 10 hush puppies that are lightly-seasoned with 1000 island sauce. If you eat one, it is probable you might think it is light on seasoning. However, they are small and finishing all 10 won't be a problem. The flavor builds with each hush puppy, which was smartly done compared to what most seafood places do: give you like two to five hush puppies of large size and high flavoring. The wings, however, used a hot sauce that was mostly vinegar. This ruined the wings for me, and if my stepdad ordered 20, he'd be eating the majority of them. Everything else was top-notch and delicious. Altogether, my family ordered the Fish and Chips, Mahi Sandwich, Fried Catfish Sandwich, Sea Scallop Snack Pack, and the Crab Cake Dinner. Details for each dish in the pictures. On a sidenote, the restroom was okay as in clean and stocked, but not the best-looking restroom I seen. Maybe the "character" could have not be extended to the restroom. Ultimately, I am giving Crab Stop four out of five stars. I do enjoy a good "mom n' pop" place as I prefer to support local and small, but since this is the only time I went, I can't justify a five-star rating until they prove to be consistent. I will be back as there is another park just south of this business that has geocaches that need to be found AND I may also try to hide a traditional letterbox here. But take note for a local seafood stop, this place is good to go.
