Came here for a quick lunch before heading back south and it did not disappoint! The server was extremely friendly and welcoming and even though it was super humid and hot outside, the outdoor seating was not bad at all! They have tons of fans and fans with mist, so it's very tolerable. The Bloody Marys were solid and had us on a good start with our brunch. We had the crab balls, which were very tasty and the inside was dense and filled with crab. The lobster BLT was very unique - I've never had fried lobster like this! It was still juicy and flavorful even though it was like a thin layer of lobster - I highly recommend! The fries were perfectly cooked as well. The grouper tacos were extremely fresh and tasty. This was a great vibe and even better eats! Recommend to anyone in the area looking for a nice quick bite to eat! read more

Great tiki hut bar/restaurant with live music. Beautiful setting overlooking the Marco River and mangroves. Ice cold beer and nonalcoholic beer. I had the lobster BLT on sourdough toast- it was freaking delicious with tender lobster deep fried and thick cut bacon. My wife had delicious fresh red snapper with cold slaw. Very good. A nice place to enjoy Goodland. Good gift shop for the folks back home read more

What a great place for lunch. We went on a Saturday the place was packed, but we were able to get a table. There was a live band that was there plus they had the other music so I would say that's the only complaint I would have while it was a fun place beautiful surroundings. It was very noisy. Not a place for a conversation. The menu looked phenomenal. We tried the crabby crab salad in a wrap. I've had shrimp salad. But never had crab salad. It was absolutely delicious. It came with homemade potato chips that were the best I've ever had. One of my friends tried the shrimp basket. The shrimp were large cooked to perfection. Somebody else had a salad with crab , it was outstanding. We finished it all with their homemade Keylime pie that we shared. Highly recommend if you like Keylime pie it was delicious. Looking forward to bringing others back. It was fun. It was delicious. Our waitress was fantastic. Too bad she's moving to Arkansas. View was wonderful Hoping to go during the weekend when there isn't a band. They are a great band just too loud. read more

How nice to come back two years later and have a nice meal here with two friends, one of which was the person who originally recommended I come here in 2023. We came during a beautiful Friday afternoon and as expected, it was noisy and crowded. It took some time, but we finally got a parking spot and even better, only had a 5-minute wait before we were seated. As I said before, I'm not a fan of noisy outdoor bands, but I guess everyone else enjoyed it. We shared a couple of orders of that peel and eat shrimp - yummy! I went for a cheeseburger - tasty and filling. And we all split a homemade slice of key lime pie. Everyone who works here hustled and took great care of us. read more

Typical bar food. It's on the water and has good live music. The service was friendly. read more

Went for lunch today with family and every meal was perfect absolutely the best onion rings were enjoyed with accompanied sauce. We ordered the shrimp PoBoy and it was delicious. We also ordered two fish tacos one with fried cooked to a golden brown and the other with onion rings. Needless to say we will definitely come back. Meal was topped off with ice cold Turtle Season IPA that makes any meal just better. Waitress was helpful and looked after us from sitting till finish. This place is a keeper and suggests anyone in the area give it a try. read more

On our way to Marco Island for Valentines Day weekend my boyfriend and I found this restaurant and decided to give it a chance since we hadn't planned where to have lunch! The restaurant had a great vibe, they had indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating area was overlooking the bay. They had live music and the individual who was playing music that day was great! We ordered their Firecracker Shrimp with the Tiger Sauce as an appetizer. The Shrimp were large and were fried to perfection. I'm not usually a huge fan of shrimp but these are a must have to order when we come back! We ordered the Tiger Sauce since we had never heard of a sauce like that and it did not disappoint! My boyfriend ordered Fish Tacos with French fries. He said both the tacos and fries were great. We had left over tiger sauce so he decided to put it on the tacos and he said it definitely enhanced the flavors! I ordered The Crabby Cheeseburger and it was great. Exactly how I like my cheeseburgers. Cooked perfectly, nice and cheesy and had lettuce, tomato, onions and French fries. After our impromptu stop for lunch we decided to check out their gift shop for some souvenirs! Overall the service was great. The ambiance was relaxing and the live music was great as well! We will definitely be returning on our next trip to Marco Island! read more

Crabby Lady - Goodland (near Marco Isl) How in the world did the first person from Marco Island or Ave Maria find this out of the way restaurant? But they did and the first person told a few who drove here for excellent seafood. And they told their friends and on and on. Now the place is packed, and rightfully so. The description from friends was accurate, the food and drinks were well worth the drive. Three of us ordered drinks from the walk-up bar while we waited about 10 minutes. My "Makers Mark bourbon, neat" was just what I needed! Seating was close but not tight on a busy late-April evening. My grouper sandwich was humorous to see: large thick pan seared fillet with a tiny bun! Service was the best! We all gave it FIVE STARS. read more

Great place for hanging out, having a few drinks, enjoy the music but I didn't think the food was up to par even for bar food. I had the fried shrimp basket - I think there were 8 small shrimp and there were some very lame shoestring fries. Wife had the crab salad and we were wondering if it was even real crab. read more

Place was packed!!! My fish tacos were fantastic!!! Our party of 4 loved each order. 2 opted for fish tacos & 2 opted for hamburgers. Each plate was empty. Local band played in the background. Not to loudly. The ambiance is wonderful, being on the water. read more

Fantastic vibe. Crab balls were very good. English lady at the door were very fun to talk to.

The Crabby Lady in Goodland is such a hidden gem! This small tiki bar has an awesome laid-back atmosphere, tucked right on the water and away from the road. The people here are some of the friendliest you'll ever meet, and with live music every day, it's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the Florida vibes. They don't have a liquor license, but they do serve beer and wine, which pairs perfectly with the atmosphere. The food looked amazing, and one of the coolest parts about this place is their "catch and cook" option--if you catch your own fish, they'll cook it up for you with a side for just $17. While we were there, a man brought in freshly caught red snapper, had it cleaned and filleted, and the restaurant served it blackened. Apparently, it was delicious and truly as fresh as it gets! If you're looking for something fun, authentic, and less stuffy than the typical spots, The Crabby Lady is the place to go. Great people, great music, and a true taste of Goodland! read more

Other than being chilly, the staff was excellent and food was the best. Fast, fresh. I had the Blackened Mahi and it had 4 grilled shrimp on the side and fruit on the top. read more

Great out-of-the-way spot coming from Naples or Marco Island. Seems like a good place to pull up in a boat as long as it's less than 35 feet long. Friendly dock master to help. No liquor license so alcohol beverages are either beer- or wine-based. The wine-based margarita wasn't like the real deal by sufficed. The 3 ladies with me each had medium stone crab claws (6-7 claws each) and I had the triple tail fish of the day sautéed with home-made potato chips. We arrived just after 11 AM when they open so we had a table adjacent to the docks. Crowds filled most tables by 12:30 PM. Live (1 man guitar/singer) and taped music was nice. Service by Sierra was friendly, attentive & not pushy. We'll be back for Crabby Lady and at least two other restaurant/bars within easy walking distance of Crabby read more

Great spot for water view and drinks. Fun beach vibe. Dolphins happened to be swimming past. It is in Goodland, which is an old fishing village. Definitely recommend. Late afternoon early evening was a perfect time to go. Tables, Picnic style and high tops and a fun bar area. Come as you are! read more

From NY (upstate)for vacation, at the recommendation of our tour guide, Capt. Nate, we tried this Great little restaurant away from the main ones. Food was excellent, service was excellent, and it was nice to eat outside by the water. Got the fried shrimp with tiger sauce, A+. And got the snapper, blackened, also an A+. Followed it up with the homemade key lime pie! It was light and amazing. Highly recommend! read more

The restaurant was very busy and the hostess gave us a mobile notification device. We waited about 15 minutes for a table and were promptly greeted by our server. Food was delivered quickly and all enjoyed our meals. read more

Cocktails were not great but the ambiance was great. Didn't eat there so can't speak to that. Service was good.

We had spent the morning shelling nearby and wanted a margarita and some seafood. Our shell guide recommended Crabby Lady. The atmosphere struck us right away, beachy vibe, live music and then came the margaritas. THEY were excellent, so we enjoyed another. I ordered the grouper special, blackened. My boyfriend order the fried shrimp and house made chips. Both of our dishes were delicious! Friendly service, great drinks, delicious food, in a gorgeous setting, what more could you ask for? read more

This is the perfect place to enjoy a nice meal with outstanding view. The food was great and the atmosphere was amazing. A must visit when traveling tp the south west coast of Florida. read more

Really liked this waterside, casual spot in Goodland. Friendlier and cheaper than Little Bar next door, get the local crab wrap, shrimp po boy or grouper sandwich and you can't go wrong read more

Came with a group of 6, service was challenging. I ordered the mussels as my meal, 2 ordered the trigger fish special, but one was brought the grouper by mistake. My mussels were good. I shared fries with my bf who got a beer brat (non-seafood eater), they weren't very good. Dinners took a long time to come and in shifts. I was done eating before the others had their specials. I hate when a restaurant can't get service timing right. Probably best not to have high expectations and just come for a cocktail and a snack - dinner is too challenging for them. We ordered beers and cocktails. When the bills came it was all screwed up. We were paying for others meals and drinks, we asked the waitress to fix it. She said she couldn't!! So we tried our best to sort it out and they venmoed us, but we still got underpaid a bit after tips. The bathrooms were disgusting - another pet peeve - keep your bathroom clean for gods sake, if that's what the bathroom looks like what does the kitchen look like? read more

What a fun place. So Much fun that we came back the next day and that says a lot since there are quite a few restaurants in Marco Island. Great ambience a dive bar with carefully prepared food, and great service and very reasonable prices. There was also daily entertainment that was quite talented and entertaining. Well done crabby lady! read more

Ok this place has been on my "itching to get back" list since we last visited Went today and it's even better so six stars. Lobster BLT was so good and plentiful. Crab balls awesome , nice kick from jalapeño and tiger sauce Key lime was a nice prep closer to a cheesecake that my wife loved, and she don't like key lime pie. Everyone here was working their asses off. You can see the dedication to service. Once again drag and drop to my area !! read more

Claims to have "Goodlands Best Boody". With "all the fixings'". Not. The fixings were a lime. One slice of lime. Someone needs to take a lesson from any bar in Wisconsin. read more

Crabby Lady - Not the best bloody in Goodland - Seafood Near Me - Goodland, Florida

great location ... seems much less touristy then other Marco establishments. We had the catch of the day, Tri fin... both blackened and fried... they do a great job on blackened fish, it was great. Grouper bites were good. home made potato chips kicked ass. Salad was meh, band was awful. read more

This is a must! Great service on the waterfront . Be sure to order a fish dinner. This property offers several seating options with a bar that's hopping! read more

We spent $300, and as we sat there drinking after our meal waiting for the band to start up, Frank asked us to move to an outside picnic area to provide seating for more customers. Really? After we spent $300 and continued drinking? You do know alcohol costs more than food, and we were there to have some fun. So we moved outside in the hot sun where it was blazing hot, and the umbrellas didn't provide enough shade. Oh yeah, and at the picnic area, there were menus and utensils, so you know people were eating out there, so why did we have to move if people could have eaten out in the picnic area? Do not get upset because we got here early enough, and we got sat first. Because we moved outside then we get a different server, which screws Courtney out of making a huge tip from us with us being there all day. The atmosphere and food was good, but that treatment soured us. Please work on your Ceviche, we had to send it back, that was not shrimp ceviche. Drinks were good, and we spent $200 outside with Christy. Imagine that we spent $500, but we leave highly disappointed because of Frank asking us to move. Don't ever do that to a customer again. read more

Best bar we went to when traveling back to Naples after the alligator tour. One man band, food, margs, and service were all amazing!!!! They even kept the gift shop open for us! We wanted to buy a house on town so we can go to Crabby Lady every night. We will be back. read more

We had the fresh catch which happened to be triple tail. We chose blacked. Was a great lunch. Live music started at 1pm and the band was great. Lots of outdoor seating with quick and friendly service. Would recommend on your visit. read more

Just the vibe you are looking for, delicious food and great service! I highly recommend the grouper bites, blue crab dip, peel and eats and the fish tacos! They were off the charts: fresh, quick and delicious! This is the type of place that is off the beaten path of Marco Island but just what you need for a local vibe and likely where all the locals eat. Best kept secret but probably not for long. I love how Erin and Jim were able to bring the midwestern hospitality of Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico! Cheers and may you be blessed in health and prosperous in your beautiful restaurant!! Love from your friends Rob Gibson and family. read more
