    Sunrise Sunset w/ 2x Gin

    This place just needs maintenance. The restaurant is a Bar but the owner clearly has a set and done attitude. Minor investments in signage, matching plates, all metal utensils, better lighting And all working TV will take the indoor decor up a bit. The inside has to match the prices. The menu is a bit pricey, $30 crab broil; however, it was sooooo Fla good. Get the lemon pepper & garlic mix for the perfect dipping sauce. I tried the Cajun rice. It was good but it is buttery. I'm not convinced they have an experienced bar tender back there. My drink tasted like juice so I ordered an extra shot. Idk, it's like a quandary for me.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch with my daughter and were greeted immediately and sat. There were only maybe about 4 more tables in the restaurant and it took our server about 10 mins to greet us and get our order. She never brought our drinks which were just water and tea. After she brought our food I had to ask for our drinks again, she then got an attitude. We opened our bags and one of the plates of seafood was still FROZEN!! We let our server know of which she snatched the plate, brought it back a couple minutes later to sling it on the table. She was very rude. When check came, she tried to overcharge for my platter of food. Also, cold plate was still on the bill. Feel like I should not need to request it to be removed when served frozen seafood. I believe in fairness and paid for both plates with no hesitation but think that she should have reconsidered this. Love the red crab but will def not go when Restine is there.

    Cowboy Boil

    Arrived at 3:15 were promptly seated. We ordered appetizers consisting of jalapeño poppers, corn nuggets and hush puppies. We were a party of 4 thus ordered two orders of low cowboy boil. (Consisted of crab, shrimp, sausage, potato, and corn with sauce). One was ordered mild and one spicy. It was delicious!! Too much food. The server was attentive. The hostess was also nice. Nice atmosphere. Will return when back in Jax.

    Royal Lobster special

    First time here and we were super hungry! We both ordered Royal lobster special that had lobster, crab and shrimp. Too bad we had to wait for over an hour to get our food. Our waitress appeared to be super busy and it was impossible to get her attention. When we finally were able to ask her, she said it's coming. After an hour we requested to speak to the manager. She was very apologetic and our food came out in 5. Everything was delicious, but an over an hour of wait was way too long. We got a 20% discount for the wait.

    What you expect from a "juicy crab" type of place. My husband gets the seafood boil and LOVES it. There's plenty of seafood a day also comes with potato and corn. It is well seasoned and spiced appropriately. The hush puppies and corn nuggets are good, too. I love the Cole slaw, it's perfectly creamy, sweet, and vinegary. One of our favorite apps/sides is the pasta. It tastes just like the seafood boil, but over pasta. Everyone goes crazy over it. Their fried shrimp basket comes with a lot of shrimp over a big basket of fries. The servers are always very, very sweet. Most times they've been consistent and the food and drinks come promptly. The last time we went it took about 45 minutes to get our food, but that's not the norm. The only con I'd say is that they could clean the drink special card that is on the table. It's ALWAYS sticky and gross feeling.

    Red Crab is definitely a hidden spot in Mandarin. I walked in and was greeted immediately, it was a Thursday night so it was not packed at all. The restaurant was clean and welcoming I ordered my usual when i come to places like this.. a pound of snow crab, extra potato, corn and in their sauce specific to the location. The boil bag came out quickly although there was not a lot of sauce in the bag it did have good flavor. The potato's were a little undercooked, i usually like them on the harder side but some of these were too hard and a couple were too soft .. the corn was cooked perfectly. The crablegs were good! I also ordered a Mai tai which was perfect! I will be visiting this location again to try a few more items off of the menu.

    We came across this restaurant by accident last night but decided to check them out. What I loved the most about our visit was the customer service!!! Our server was very attentive, provided helpful information, made sure we had refills , and continued to check up on us during the time we were there. We never felt rush even after they were beginning to close up and my daughter had to go to the bathroom. I appreciate that the multiple TV's they had in the building the were also showing kid shows for the littles to help keep them entertained while waiting for the food to arrive. Check them out when you are in the area

    When we want a good seafood boil we go here. They are super great. Good portions and taste always. They always have drink and food specials. Also the service is always great and the food usually comes out pretty quick. The place always looks clean.

    Valentine's Day will never be the same. We finally went out on Valentine's Day. The actual day. I asked my wife to choose the letter L or the letter R. She chose R, so we headed to Red Crab in Mandarin. Can I say, seafood on fleek! Oysters check. Claims check. A cold beer check. And crab legs double-check. All with our favorite sauces, corn, and potato. A must do again. All I can do is keep linking my fingers. In the words of Colonel Sanders, Red Crab was finger looking good. For real!!!

    Finally came in for a boil. Reading the mixed reviews on the boils I was ready to give it a go and check it out for myself. My first experience a few months back was ok but tonight made me a fan. I chose the daily special of snow crab legs, shrimp, sausage and potatoes with the juicy sauce hot level. This is one below their hottest and was perfect for me. Their juicy sauce is a mix of all their sauces all in one. Sooo good! I also added a pound of blue crabs as I wanted to try those too. My bag came out and the waitress put it all on the stainless steel platter. I was so excited I started digging in on the shrimp, sausage, and corn. I then went for the blue crab and noticed I didn't get any snow crab. I let the waitress know and she resolved the minor issue quickly. The snows didn't make it into my pic but they were huge. The blues were relatively small and while the bodies were good, the claws aren't worth the hassle at that size. I did what I could. It I did save them for last. Overall I was very satisfied as everything was prepared to perfection. Snows broke easy, shrimp was perfect, corn and potatoes were tasty. I'll be back - and soon.

    What a wonderful dinner at STONEWOOD GRILL AND TAVERN on March 3, 2026. Our waitress was EXCELLENT…read more- ALISA. The Lemon Drop Martinis were so delicious and refreshing! The Tuesday night specials were the perfect portions and bothe the Tenderloin Tips/Shrimp and the Salmon/Shrimp were prepared to perfection. Will be back soon!

    Stonewood Grill continues to be a longtime favorite in the New Tampa/Tampa Palms area. We met…read morefriends there for our reservation at 6:00 p.m., and from start to finish, both the service and the food were excellent. We began with the spinach dip and house-made chips, along with the steak and cauliflower flatbread. Both appetizers were flavorful. The flatbread was slightly overdone -- the crust a bit too chewy -- but when we mentioned it, the staff handled it immediately and graciously removed it from our bill. That level of responsiveness says a lot about their commitment to customer satisfaction. My wife and I started sharing a wedge salad and French onion soup -- both perfectly prepared and full of flavor. Around the table, the entrées included the Blackened Chicken Pasta, Peach Bourbon Pork Chop, Chicken Pot Pie, and the B.L.A.S.T. Stack (smoked salmon, bacon, avocado, and tomato). Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their selections. Our server, Angela, was outstanding -- attentive without hovering and always there exactly when we needed her. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a comfortable noise level that made conversation easy. Stonewood remains a dependable spot for a great meal and an enjoyable evening. We'll definitely be back.
