Chelsea was very nice and gave excellent service! My daughter ordered the Bairdi crab legs and they were amazing! Thank you!!

The Crab Trap was such a treat! My family of five stopped in for an early dinner, and everything exceeded our expectations. The food was spectacular--absolutely out of this world. Every dish was fresh and perfectly prepared. A special shoutout to our server, Tom, who made the experience even better. He was attentive, kind, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. His service was truly a 10 out of 10. The atmosphere was exactly what you'd hope for in a beachside restaurant--fun, casual, and full of beachy charm. From the amazing food to the outstanding service, The Crab Trap delivered an unforgettable dining experience. We can't wait to come back! read more

Beautiful view. If that's what you want then I recommend you skip Crab Trap and just go see the water. The restaurant has a great view. I'll give it 1 star for that. However, service and food here today was not good. Cold fries, soggy shrimp, fish that tasted strong, and the server did not want to be there. We were not even asked if we wanted a beverage other than water. We just wanted a soda. I would keep looking elsewhere. read more

Recommendations: Smoked Tuna Dip Snow Crab Legs Crab Trap is decorated in a beach style that truly gives off a relaxed coastal vibe. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the breeze from the sea, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. We started by sharing the Smoked Tuna Dip as an appetizer. Just like many other Yelp reviewers mentioned, we loved it. The restaurant served it with crackers, but cucumbers are available upon request. The tuna had a rich smoky flavor, and each bite made you want to go back for more. For the main dish, we ordered the Snow Crab Legs, which came with 1 1/2 pounds of crab along with corn and new potatoes. The crab was fresh and packed with sweet, tender meat. It does take some time to crack and pull out all the meat, but it is absolutely worth the effort. Crab Trap also provides wet wipes for your hands, so do not be afraid to dig in and enjoy the full seafood experience. read more

All I can say is Delish! Our waitress Alo was the best we have had in Destin! She is very attentive and makes you feel like you are family. The food was so delicious. Our granddaughter had the snow crab legs, an abundance of yumminess. We also had the cajun chicken pasta, the seafood platter, boiled shrimp, and kids chicken fingers. The restaurant was decorated with the usual sea creatures but very tastefully done. I totally recommend this place. A helpful hint: go early and no wait. read more

We ate here twice when we came to Destin if that tells you anything. First time we came we had the Cobia fish meal. All of it was delicious. The second time for dinner we had their crab plate and it lived up to its name "The Crab Trap". We will absolutely be coming back for some crab next time we're in town! Service was fast and every waiter we had was friendly and enjoyable. The vibes of this place right on the beach are wonderful! read more

The Crab Trap had one of the most beautiful views! I know the surrounding restaurants have a similar waterfront view, but it was still so nice to sit back and enjoy it. I ordered the Catch of the Day, which was bronzed amberjack, served with potatoes and steamed vegetables. The fish was flavorful, the vegetables were steamed perfectly, and the potatoes were soft and delicious. I also tried the gumbo with rice. The rice was a little more al dente than I expected, but the gumbo itself was rich, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. The customer service was great from start to finish. Overall, it was a really enjoyable dining experience, and I'd definitely come back. read more

We came in from Atlanta for the weekend, and ate at quite a few places. Our waiter Evan was the best we had all weekend. He was an amazing! He was very attentive,and personable. read more

Yeahhh, not the best experience. We went and were told 1 hour wait, "we'll text you" at over an hour my husband went to check and Wah-La the text came through & there were open tables all around. My youngest and I shared the crab legs bc I wasn't very hungry, I'm glad we did bc at almost $60 for 1 1/2 lbs it was cold and wouldn't have been able to eat 3 lbs. My oldest daughter couldn't eat the shrimp bc again, cold and also bland. I'm giving 3 stars bc my husband enjoyed his steak but it was about 4 ounces... anyways, I'm sure someone else had an amazing experience but we didn't. I'm normally a 5 star review kind of gal and leave the negative to others but this was way too expensive to have such a blah experience. read more

The food is good. We had a large group-26 people and two servers. Everyone's food was correct and good. Service was great, they didn't mind splitting checks. This location is right on the beach. read more

Lovely view of the back deck. The Barish crab legs were very delicious a bit sweeter than snow crabs.. my sister's meal was quite average as she had crabcakes that were obviously not from the backfin crab meat and had too much breading. Epic fail.. the cocktails were weak. Our waitress was very attentive and sweet.. the view alone was worth it! Be prepared for a pricey meal, of course for us tourist. The crab plate was $77. Enjoy read more

Great experience with Monica as our server! We got the catch of the day which was grilled to perfection! Highly recommend Crab Trap!

The food was amazing and Nathan was the best server. my son said "10/10" our food came quickly and they did a great job.

Enjoy the Wednesday firework near the Pier. Then we head straight to The Crab Trap. We came in big group, it took them a little while to set up our seats indoor. Gladly our server was prompt and friendly. We ordered raw oysters, they were fresh and good. Seafood gumbo (bowl) - it was good but the portion is little. Fried calamari, Fried red snapper and jumbo shrimps, fried fish fingers - thick batters and dry. Stream snow crab and shrimps (for two) - portion is okay but not outstanding. Piña Colada - I thought it was for kids. My kids got the crab bucket and they were happy. read more

Overrated! Go someplace else. The seafood was average and seriously overpriced it's on the water in theory but the tables are so crammed together you'd hardly know it. The service was ok. read more

Came on a sunday at 5:30pm. I was sat instantly and had my food not even 10 minutes after I ordered. Great food and customer service. Connor G was amazing!! read more

This is a really big restaurant but you will still wait a good amount of time to sit. They make waiting pretty comfortable with a nice outdoor bar area, fans, and a beach area with corn hole and other games. My daughter and I shared the snow crab legs and gulf shrimp. The shrimp was peel and eat which was kind of annoying. The crab legs weren't pre-cracked and some parts were tough to crack so we had a lot of shreds instead of full pieces of meat. The shrimp were huge and pretty tasty. They served them with plastic tubs of cocktail sauce with foil lids and it was VERY hot. The boiled potatoes were good, especially dipped in the clarified butter, but the corn was tough. My other daughter got filet medallions with the mixed vegetables and the broccoli was GROSS! Super bitter and just inedible. She liked her filet medallions but spent 20 minutes in the bathroom before we left so not sure if we would order again. I feel like most of the big seafood places in Destin/Miramar are overrated. I probably wouldn't go again. read more

The view was amazing though a little crammed. The food was really tasty and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We got a seasonal dundraiser appetizer and it was amazing. I would come back. read more

We were very disappointed with our dining experience. Our server was inattentive and unfriendly throughout the meal. She never asked if we would like beverages and appeared uninterested in providing even basic customer service. As a family visiting on vacation, we were looking forward to enjoying a pleasant meal together, but the service made us feel unwelcome. Unfortunately, the food was also served cold, which only added to our disappointment. Between the poor service and the quality of the meal, what should have been an enjoyable family experience was overshadowed by a lack of attention and care. We hope management addresses these issues so future guests have a better experience. read more

Wow! This place was amazing! We got the wild caught Alaskan crab and couldn't have been happier. There was so much meat we were stuffed with just the crab. Service was excellent and it was nice to overlook the ocean. A storm rolled in as we were sitting by the window. read more

Had date night with my wife here. Knowing it was the busy season we were not expecting much. Parking is hit or miss but we got a spot. Got to the hostess and we were told about a 30 minute wait. It was only twenty minutes before we were seated. We had window seats with a great view of the water. Our server Kate was awesome! She really made our evening special. On top of it all the food was delicious. It really made for a great date night. read more

This was, without question, the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. The wait time was completely unreasonable, and I truly felt that race played a major role in how long we were made to wait compared to others. To make matters worse, the manager was rude, dismissive, and condescending instead of addressing our concerns professionally. Customer service was nonexistent, and the overall experience was extremely disappointing. I will never return, and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Tita was great ! Everything was fresh and tasty. Parking was a challenge, but was to be expected. read more

Highly recommend!! Fresh crab legs - the (bear die) ones are phenomenal!!!! Worth the few extra dollars! Corns and potatoes so yummy.. Raw oysters were a bit too large in my opinion. I like smaller ones... I did taste the non-alcoholic "cocktails" and they were delicious! The Cajun chicken pasta was also excellent! Caesar salad was also crisp and delicious. read more

Food is over priced for what you get.... Got a filet and shrimp, shrimp was decent filet was TINY like 3 oz...stay away. Got crab cake as appetizer 1 crab cake for $20? Cmon nah...had flies at the table. There are better options for the money you will spend here... server was polite and attending. Won't be back....did have bud light though read more

Don't do it. Expensive. Noisy. Slow service. Food that went through the flavor extractor. Seriously. No flavor. This place should be renamed Tourist Trap. Only gave it two stars for the view. read more

I just love this place. We came here on our recent vacation. We started with the crab/shrimp dip and it was incredible. I joked that I wanted to drink it because it was so good. I ordered the shrimp po boy and it came with the sauce on the side, which I liked because I could put however much I wanted on it. The fries were great, too! My husband ordered the fried shrimp. Plenty of food and huge portions. We both got drinks, too. My Bacardi bucket was delicious and so was his crab trap punch. We only waited about 5 minutes for a table and our waiter was friendly and food came out quick. read more

Is it over priced? Sure. Are the drinks on the lighter and sweet side? Sure. Does it all taste better because you're sitting on one of the most beautiful beaches and enjoying the sea breeze? YES. This was our go to spot while in Destin. We found we were happiest just ordering the beach burger and wine/beer or well drinks. read more

Thayne was awesome! Greatly appreciate his help! We also enjoyed the food and beach right on the beach!

Server was not nice at all. There was six of us and we all ordered a different entree and I would tell you that not one of the meals were good. To be fair one was simply mozzarella sticks, but the rest was seafood and it all was poor at best. I gave this place two stars based on the view. Other than. That they are a 1 and not worth your trip, time, or money. You will be disappointed like we were. read more

First night for cocktails and apps on beach. @ Shay did amazing! The drinks and food were amazing! Had a great experience
