Hush puppies
Melissa J.

We had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner here. Normally we spend our Christmas Eve with my family but this was one of those odd years. To make things interesting my husband said we should do something completely different so we came her and had delicious boils! I chose the create your own with headless shrimp and crab legs. Hubs chose sausage and crawfish. We both went with the Mr & Mrs Crab special seasoning. We also got an order of hush puppies. Both meals were enjoyable and tasty! Our server was very nice and brought us requested items and refills timely. The decor is definitely fish forward and you will know you are there to eat yummy seafood.

Hello, I am a FL native who currently lives up north & I have eaten many seafood boils in my day. This place is legit! The food from the apps to drinks were fabulous. We ordered damn near everything and could not even finish our plates. The oysters were fantastic and so were the fried pickles. We ordered mussels, shrimp, crawfish, snow and King crab. Everything was cooked to perfection. We got that snap and smooth clean pull. IYKYK. The sauce was tangy and a lil spicy (white people spicy). Soooo good! You gotta go check this place out, I will back next week. Keep doing what you're doing because it is tasty.

Is this an overall five-star place? Probably not. Maybe a bit too casual. Maybe a bit too, well, like you feel SpongeBob is around the corner somewhere and no, it is not that Mr. Krabs. Anyway... What gives it five-stars is for doing a great job of making a seafood boil. As mentioned, I believe on their website, the spice levels for the boils are pretty accurate to a little conservative. Meaning, if you like it hot, you are going to really enjoy this place! The table I was at shared THE BASICS - 1/2 lb. Shrimp (No Head), 1/2 lb. Sausage, 1/2 lb. Blue Mussels plus King Crab Legs. I also had New England Clam Chowder to start. For me, it could have been thicker. So I will pass on that next time. Otherwise, come here for the boil. If you are into it, or just looking to try one, you will not be disappointed.

Seafood combo love love love

The crab and snow crab were incredibly fresh and sweet. The meat was tender, juicy, and easy to pull out. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Highly recommend for crab lovers! And waitresses Shay is awesome I'm coming back next time for sure

It's amazing how time flies! I can hardly believe that it's been 8 months since my last visit to this restaurant. However, I must say that my recent experience was just as great as the last time I was here. Our server, O'Neil, was exceptional and he even remembered us from our last visit. The crispy, flavorful chicken wings and seafood were still top-notch and the sauces were as delicious as ever. I would rate this restaurant 5 stars for their quality of food and service. Moreover, I was impressed by the business ethics and morals of this restaurant. The manager noticed that my bill was incorrect and he immediately rectified the issue. He also gave me 2 $5 coupons to use on my next visit and $15 in cash. Such gestures make me feel valued as a customer and I am more than happy to return here next month and dine again.

We are local and decided to give Mr. & Mrs. Crab in Sanford a try. The facility is clean and nice. The staff was very friendly and Taylor, our server, was very nice. We were surprised that all the tableware was disposable! Plastic cups, plates, utensils, etc. Of course that didn't impact the food but to us it was disappointing. We found our food to be quite average. The lobster bisque was ok but luke warm. My shrimp boil tasted ok but was nothing special. I will not choose this chain again.

It can get pretty loud inside, especially when the restaurant is busy, so just something to keep in mind if you prefer a quieter dining experience. We ordered the churrasco tostones rellenos, carne guisada with maduros, and churrasco with arroz con gandules. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. We came during a very busy time, so service was a little slower than expected, but our server was doing her best and was very kind despite how busy it was.

However, based on my experience, I felt the food and pricing didn't quite live up to expectations. The presentation was decent, and I can appreciate the effort that went into the dishes. Unfortunately, once you consider the prices, the overall experience becomes harder to justify. The food, while perfectly acceptable, was fairly middle-of-the-road for me and didn't stand out enough to warrant the price point. There are other options in the area offering similar, prepared Latino food at a lower price, including grocery-store options such as Bravo, and I found some of those to be comparable to what I experienced here. I genuinely wanted to enjoy the restaurant, and I hope this is taken as constructive feedback. For me, though, the combination of the food quality and the prices made it difficult to feel that the overall value was there.

One of my favorite things about St. Johns River Steak & Seafood is that you're not just going there…read morefor dinner -- the location makes the whole experience. Sitting right on Lake Monroe with that view of the water, especially around sunset, is hard to beat in Sanford. The food is excellent too. They have a huge selection, so whether you're in the mood for seafood or a steak, there's something for everybody. The seafood always seems fresh, the portions are generous, and they don't skimp on the good stuff. The blackened fish with shrimp and crab risotto is a standout, and you hear people constantly talking about the grouper, shrimp and grits, conch fritters, gator bites and seafood combinations. Their steaks are also legitimately good, so you don't feel like you have to order seafood just because it's on the water. The atmosphere is probably what keeps me coming back. It's casual enough that you can bring the family, but the view makes it nice enough for a date night or special occasion. There's just something relaxing about eating dinner and looking out over the lake. Service has always been another big positive. The staff is friendly and attentive without hovering over you, and even when the restaurant is busy, they do a good job taking care of everyone. That seems to be something a lot of other people mention in their reviews as well. Good food, cold drinks, great service and one of the best restaurant views in Sanford. If somebody was visiting town and asked me where they could get some seafood and actually feel like they were in Florida, this would definitely be on my list.

Service started well, but once we were seated, we were told that no server was assigned to our table and that several staff members would be helping us. This led to confusion and very slow service, even though the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. We ordered our food at 7:00 p.m. Two friends needed to leave early and waited far too long for their check. When the server finally brought it, she also tried to give the rest of us our check even though we were still waiting for our meals. She seemed surprised and went to investigate. The manager came over to apologize, but our food didn't arrive until 8:30 p.m. an hour and a half after we ordered. It was cold and dried out, as though it had been sitting under a heat lamp. The only compensation offered was free dessert, which we couldn't stay for because the delay had already made us late for our other plans. We understand that mistakes happen, but the lack of coordination, excessive wait, and disappointing food made this a birthday experience we won't repeat. Living in Florida, we have plenty of better seafood and steak options. We will not be returning.

Swordfish was amazing, cooked well and the sauce was tasty. Broccoli was good with garlic in it Service was great, friendly and made some solid recommendations. Nice inside, big aquarium in the wall and a very elegant dining room Would definitely come back!

It was a Friday night and the restaurant was busy. It felt like others were also coming in for one last visit, which added a bittersweet feeling to the evening. I ordered a pina colada and a pineapple coconut martini. The drinks were perfect. Cold, smooth, and exactly what I remember. I will truly miss the drinks here. They have always been one of the highlights. For food, we ordered beef empanadas, coconut shrimp, and the honey butter crispy chicken sandwich. The empanadas were not quite as good as I remembered. The filling was more soupy than before and did not have the same bold flavor I used to enjoy. The coconut shrimp was solid and consistent. The chicken sandwich tasted like it may have been cooked slightly too long, making it a bit drier than expected. Service was great, especially considering how busy they were. The staff handled the crowd well and remained friendly and attentive throughout the night. While the food was not as memorable as it once was, the experience and the drinks reminded me why this place was special. It is always tough to see a longtime favorite close.
