Crab Stop II is located in an old IHOP in Daytona. Not much to look at on the outside, or the inside for that matter. Still though, there are good things going on in the kitchen. The portions here are decent for the prices and the seafood is fresh. We had a blue crab boil on this visit. About 16 blue crabs, corn and potatoes in a garlic sauce for about $50. We also had a fried catfish sandwich which was impeccable. The food was awesome. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the service was average and the venue itself was a little run down. If you want fantastic and fresh seafood with good portions at reasonable pricing, the Crab Stop II is a great place to stop while visiting Daytona.

Sea food rice
Eddie H.

This place has the best seafood in my opinion! The staff is so good! All the waitresses have been so good! The place is running down and I would describe as a hole in the wall. Do not let this deter you the food and service are incredible!! We have been coming here for over 3 years. Tonight no difference it was incredible. My daughter is a here from San Francisco and agreed. Order the Snow Special and we get extra corn and potatoes. We also order the seafood rice! All were incredible! I also ordered bud light on draft. Excellent!!

Best seafood!

On our last day in the area, we discovered this gem! Love "little hole in the wall" places! This one did not disappoint. I'm sorry I didn't get a photo of the food, but the crab legs and shrimp tasted so fresh, and the potatoes in the garlic sauce were amazing. We also tried the fried oysters! The server was so sweet and give this place a big thumbs up!

Snow Crab Special Meal
Ruby F.

OMG! I absolutely agree with the other food orgasm comment, best seafood meal me and my husband have ever had! We ordered the Snow Crab special which came 3 snow crab clusters, a dozen jumbo prongs, two corn pieces, and like 1lb. of potatoes all soaked in garlic Cajun butter! Compliments to the chief Corey, the price was extremely affordable, the food was amazing, and the service was great with a homey laid back ambiance! DELICIOUS

Snow crab fix. Service staff was excellent!!! Looks like it a local favorite. Kid friendly and affordable dining. Lots of private parking. I'm coming back!

So sick so good

This is an absolutely bomb experience. The people are fired up to serve their food. It is authentic, delicious, and absolutely a hidden gem. Asked for david to be your server. He's full of life. He's gonna talk your ear off with a funny little accent. The food is absolutely fantastic and this is a total win. I did not know this place was here. Absolute five stars totally off the hook.

Crawfish Snack Pack

We chose the Crab Stop II for its ideal location near the Museum of Arts & Sciences (MOAS). There was lots of available parking. Unfortunately, as soon as we walked in, we couldn't help but think that the restaurant could use some major sprucing up. Our server was very nice and the menu was great with lots of choices, but the food was just average. The crab cakes were the thinnest we ever had. It's possible that had we ordered other crab dishes we would have been more pleased. With so many seafood restaurants in the area, I'm not sure if we'll be back to this one. Maybe you'd like it!

This was our second time here and it was just as great as the first! My mom and I had the crabs and my dad ordered the salmon and everything was seasoned perfectly and so delicious. The staff is always so friendly, and the place is cool and comfortable inside, which is great on a hot Florida day. We always tell people to come here, it's definitely the best local spot for seafood in Daytona, coming from someone who's a local

First time visiting. Ambiance Food Service Value Little curb appeal and inside decor is typical for a seafood restaurant. Several TVs. Didn't use the restroom. We dined about an hour before closing on a Monday night. Several parties in the dining room and take out was robust up until closing. Our party ordered a dish with 12 large shrimp, potatoes, sausage and half an ear of corn. All seasoned with garlic butter and their version of Old Bay. I requested light butter and food was still seasoned well. A healthy portion of food that no one in our party was able to finish. Corn fritters were ok. Aaliyah served us. She was attentive while closing the dining room. Overall good experience and I'd return.

Shrimp Special
Jeff S.

Our first time at Crab Stop II. Our first impression of the line to get inside made us anticipate the food must be good! They were busy but seated us and several other parties of different sizes quickly. The staff was hustling and doing their best to collect orders and serve drinks and food. We ordered a shrimp basket along with an order of crab cakes. Since it was our first time we ordered one deep fried in the shell and the other grilled. Both were very good, but we preferred the deep fried in the shell. The sides were red potatoes and coke slaw. Everything had a nice flavor and good portions. The restaurant is built on same floor plan as the original I-hop that occupied this building many years ago and works very well for their business model. Lots of take out orders while we were seated. I believe we will take out an order of wings next time!

We came for lunch and honestly didn't want to leave. Our server Brooke was the kind of person who makes a restaurant great. Attentive, upbeat, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we sat down. She had great energy and made our whole group feel taken care of without ever being intrusive. Ask for her if you can. The food was outstanding. We ordered the ahi tuna pizza -- a crispy flatbread topped with fresh raw tuna, avocado, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of spicy aioli and teriyaki glaze. It was stunning to look at and even better to eat. The blackened fish sandwich came loaded with fresh toppings and paired perfectly with the golden fries. The grilled chicken tacos were generous and well-seasoned with a mango salsa on the side that really popped. We also got the coconut shrimp -- beautifully fried with a honey mustard dipping sauce -- and our little one loved the chicken bites and fries. Don't skip the gator bites either -- a true Florida experience, perfectly crispy and served with a honey mustard that kept us reaching for more. Everything tasted fresh, like it came straight off the boat. We toasted the afternoon with margaritas on the rocks and honestly couldn't imagine a better setting -- salt-rimmed cups, ocean breeze, the sound of waves just a few feet away. Yes, the prices are a step up, but when you factor in that you're sitting steps from the beach with food this fresh and a view like this, it's worth every penny. If you're passing through Daytona, make a point to stop in -- you won't regret it.

We visited this restaurant at the recommendation of someone local. It is a staple of the area, for…read moresure. The restaurant overlooks the river and has a separate bar area with a full bar. The Pink Flamingo was delicious. The biggest surprise for us was the cinnamon roll kitchen where bakers are making fresh cinnamon rolls in front of you and you can eat as many as you like! The beauty of this restaurant is that the "fish camp" fixins' are on an all-you-can-eat buffet. But your entree is made to order, fresh for you! Best of both worlds! We had 8 in our party and were delighted to know that it takes 12 for the gratuity to be automatic. That was not an issue, though. Our first server "cousin Richard" was excellent, but then he got pulled away and "cousin Bailey" took care of us. Both were delightfully friendly and very attentive. In our group we had chicken tenders, which I sampled and were some of the best I've ever had. We had shark and alligator appetizers. They were both awesome. We had sautéed shrimp and sautéed scallops. Both were swimming in a delicious buttery garlic sauce and cooked to perfection. One had meatloaf and said it was great! One had salmon. And a couple of people had the crab cakes which they also said were delicious. The sides were also good, and the "fish camp" sides were awesome. I want to especially comment on the cheese grits. As a G.R.I.T.S. (Girl raised in the south) and a devout grits snob, I give my wholehearted double thumbs-up on the grits. I thought my grandson was going to make himself sick eating so much! Final word, the cinnamon rolls were AMAZING!! Warm out of the oven and covered with sugary sauce.

Overall the food was good but overall bad experience, unfortunately. Our waiter was struggling…read morebad... He messed up the order of a table next to us twice and the guy didn't eat while his entire family ate their meals. Not sure if he was new or just having a very bad day. My wife got sick halfway through our appetizer meal and I promptly told him I needed 2 boxes and the check as soon as he brought our main dish... I waited at least 30 minutes until he came back with the check and boxes, then he left again to correct the check for another 10-15. I wished he would have been a bit faster and more attentive since we were trying to leave in somewhat of a rush... I think maybe this place is just understaffed or we got a bad waiter. The catfish was still good the next day and the cinnamon rolls were AMAZING though!!
