I'm always suspicious when a server doesn't write down our order, but usually it's unfounded. Unfortunately, this time my concern was justified. Hubs ordered a Chicken Philly sandwich but was served a Steak Philly. The food-runner seemed indifferent when he brought us our food, and it was a solid 10 minutes before our server came by again to check on us. All she offered was an apology. And later, hubs had to wave down our server for to-go boxes because she never came back to ask if we needed anything. And yes, we were charged for the Philly sandwich. Aside from not getting exactly what we ordered, the food was fine. We might even return.

Not vegetarian friendly but the vibe was nice. I wish they had more options because the drinks were good, the view was nice and the place was busy on a Saturday. It's an hour drive from where I live. I could see myself taking a drive on a weekend and renting one of the beautiful places around the restaurant. The food, not the best, even the cheese quesadilla was boring and so was the appetizers. The service was great and so was the ambiance. They have a nice shop you can buy gifts etc

It seemed like our waitress was a little slow most of our time there. Our food took longer than seemed normal. People that had come in after us were getting their orders but ours didn't seem to be getting out. Finally we got our food order three shrimp baskets and a grouper basket. The fish sandwich was not warm, it was flat out cold. Our drinks took forever to get refilled and again they were not busy. We didn't send the sandwich back because it seemed like it was taking forever. Something just seemed off. The food was just okay. All of this to say; Service was just so-so. Food today seemed off about our food order. Very nice atmosphere I don't have to return anytime soon. We've heard good things about this place...we didn't have that experience. I might go back if I'm ever back in town. Everyone has an off day.

The interior looks like you've been transported back in time and NOT in a good way. Ratty faux wood contact paper everywhere and it seems like something is always burning since there's a permanent haze of grease smoke.

Had to wonder how long has that junk been sitting there getting stale and soggy under a steamer. Sad to see such an awesome place go down like this, but now it's a hard pass for me. I'd suggest you skip it and go to Common Grounds instead.

*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.
