The setting and music was good. Little disappointed with the oysters. I love chargrilled oysters so every where I go I taste to see who has the best. No place like home (New Orleans). I expected chargrilled with hot French bread to go with it. I had to ask for crackers. read more

Crabby's Dockside - 1 1/2 lb of crab legs! Delicious, best crab ever! - Seafood Near Me - Clearwater Beach, Florida

this place came highly recommended by our uber driver and i am SO glad we checked it out. the food was incredible. we started with the grouper basket, and it was some of the best grouper i've had. my husband isn't sure about fish, but he wanted to try it and he loved it. i also got the key west grilled combo (grilled shrimp and mahi-mahi with key lime honey mustard and conch fritters), and my husband got fried shrimp. i can put down a lot of food, and the platter did me in. loved the fries and my husband really enjoyed the coconut rice. would definitely go back. unfortunately, our server wasn't awesome but it seemed like she might have been busier on the inside than outside read more

Started with the oyster 4-way which was quickly served hot and delicious. Each set had a unique taste but all were great. Our server recommended the fresh caught grouper which according to him is brought straight into the dock beside the restaurant and never frozen. I had the blackened grouper sandwich and my wife had the grouper tacos. Both were excellently cooked and brought out promptly. Overall we had great meal at a place I would quickly recommend. read more

I have always heard good things about the seafood. For an appetizer we had the avocado egg rolls and they were really good. I ordered the cleveland oysters which is a baked oyster with Parmesan cheese. It was a whole dozen for 26 dollars. They were no good. They came out cold. I had the blacken grouper dinner the fish was good, but I wasn't impressed with the side options. They were pretty basic. Fries, mashed potatos, Cole slaw, or vegetables of the day (which seems to always be some kind of squash medley at all restaurants lately). The market price was 29 dollars. If I go again I would stick the the basic options like fish tacos or something like that. read more

I traveled from Ohio to visit a friend. My last visit we had a great time and the crabs were amazing so I had to go back. This time I kind of felt a little out of place.... None of the servers approached us (me/friend) a few of the servers looked our way but continued to walk past our table. Of course a black woman in America today & at the tail end of the political election I honestly started to assume the worst and wanted to just go. But then we were approached by a young guy who actually was not a server and was just helping out. They were not busy so I didn't understand why he had to step in but nonetheless, soooo grateful he did. He was amazing! He was a complete blessing and he made our experience better than the first visit! Very polite!!! Laid back and funny! Management was great too! As a server myself, I think he did a great job! He was sure to check in with us, gave suggestions and really made us feel welcomed. And of Course the Crabs were Amazing!!! We were sure to tip well... and twice! Thank you FABIO! You are the best!!! Great Crabs and wonderful management, as for Fabio to serve you read more

3 words..... Bairdi Crab legs!!! I was going to be staying in the Tampa/Clearwater area for the weekend for work and of course I was thinking about what I was going to eat everyday. My boss kept mentioning that she wanted to get some crab legs from some crabby place. She kept raving about how good they were so I figured that I had to try them. I love seafood so I couldn't go wrong. So we went after work which was about 7:30pm on a Friday so I knew the place would probably be busy. When I got there, the parking lot was full so luckily we pulled up when someone was getting ready to leave. When walking in I noticed that the place had multiple floors and it was huge. I was just so excited to eat! So we ended up sitting at the bar on the second floor and our server Phrank (I think that's his name) was really good at his job. He helped us whenever we needed it and was very tentative even though he was helping other customers and staff. I started off with the Rum bucket which was worth the $11 or $12 I paid for it. For an appetizer I had the coconut shrimp which is always good! I ordered the Bairdi crab with mash potatoes and veggies as my sides. The crab legs was cooked and seasoned to perfection! The potatoes were creamy, and whipped just right. This place was definitely worth coming to! It might be my favorite seafood place in the state if Florida already! I can't wait to come back again!!! read more

This was my first time here and without a single doubt, Sammy and Phrank are both the reasons why I'll be coming back! They were giving the whole experience from start to finish and if possible, deserve a raise. Got to us in such a quick manner and were so personable all the way through. The food was amazing, the drinks were amazing, but Sammy and Phrank were the cherrys on TOP! They both were giving Crabby's EXCELLENCE!! read more

Crabby's has really good food and customer service. The atmosphere and location on the water are also unique for this area.

Our visit to Crabby's Dockside on Clearwater Beach was delightful. The restaurant was very busy but our service was perfect. We had the calamari Caesar salad, which was so good and one of my favorites. Then we had the Bairdi Crab, which was excellent! Phrank was our server, and he took extra care of us. This restaurant has a great location on Clearwater Beach overlooking the Pier, the Gulf, and the Marina. It was a perfect night! read more

We were looking for a place to have some fresh oysters and we decided to eat at Crabby's Dockside. The place is very nice and the atmosphere is very laid back and family oriented. It was late and we decided to eat outside. Our waiter was very nice and friendly, he kept on checking at our table constantly. He answered my menus questions and he did the best he could. The food was very good, I ordered a dish with clams, shrimp, crab legs and cole slaw. We didn't wait so long for the food. My mom ordered her oysters and she was very happy. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting clear water Beach is right there by the beach, friendly staff and great food. read more

We were recommended to try Crabby's by a local Uber driver but it was not as good as I thought it would be. The restaurant is right by the beach. They have options for the guest to choose whether they wanted to sit indoor with AC or outdoor. As soon as my friends and I walked in, we were greeted by the waiter and he got us a table right away. Our waiter didn't look too happy and the service was just okay. As we were looking through the menu, we ordered an appetizer and three other entrees. It was our first meal of the day and usually when I am hungry, everything will taste delicious but it didn't satisfy my appetite at all. The food portions came out big and we didn't really finish all of our foods. The three entrees we ordered were shrimp pasta, fish, and a fish sandwich. Appetizer was fried calamari. The food was decent besides the pasta. It was loaded with cheese and pasta except for a few pieces of shrimp. All the entrees were loaded with 85% carbs and probably 15% seafood. The prices for the foods didn't really worth it. read more

Great food, service, and view! Thank you to our server Pitrank! We got the grouper fish and it was great!

Had the grouper it was great. Sampled a bit of flounder and mahi mahi from our group and they where both great. Also had gater for the first time and it was surprisingly good, not fishy or gamey at all. The oysters where also good, had it both ways. Service could have been better. The place was great and the food was awesome. They also had live music outside but it was too humid for us after being at the beach, but wish we could have sat outside to listen to the music... read more

We went to Crabby's the first night that we arrived in Clearwater. We were hungry so I asked for first available seating and wish that I would have asked for the upper level so that we had a view of the water and sunset. We sat outside on the patio and it was very loud with all of the traffic driving by that evening. Our waitress Bailey was wonderful. Very pleasant and attentive. We had the coconut shrimp appetizer, which was excellent. I had the shrimp and grits and it was amazing. I would definitely order again. My son had the crab legs and said that they were very good. read more

Phrank was the best bartender ever! Made sure I had a Merican Pina Colada to celebrate the 4th. Super friendly staff. We had the oyster sampler as an appetizer and it was fantastic!

Stopped in for a drink and appetizer. Fun atmosphere with live music and great people watching. Staff was very attentive and friendly-you could tell they all got along well and enjoyed their jobs. They had a special on Titos and then we got some speciality drinks (Coco Mojito and Pina Colada). Drinks were all good and enjoyed them. We split the onion rings and the Rockerfella oyster dish. Both were pretty good-nothing spectacular but I would recommend stopping in for a drink. Fun place to visit if you are in the area! read more

Went there for a late lunch after a cruise on a Thursday afternoon. There was no wait to be seated on the 3rd floor patio. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly and everything was tasty. I got the Mahi Mahi & they were able to adjust the seasoning so it wasn't too spicy. The mango salsa tasted fresh and was so good. My husband got the Big Plate with the oysters and clams - it was a very fair amount of food and he devoured it. Over all a great experience for us! read more

I had the 1 lb lobster tail it was pricey but it was cooked perfectly and as expected there was a lot of it ... I was less impressed with the sides , "the string beans with bacon and garlic" they came strait from a can , soft mushy borderline baby food .. As for the coconut rice ,uncle Bens 60 second rice is better then what they serve.. read more

Had a great lunch here at Cabbys. Our server Taylor was a sweetie! Great drinks too. Also, the rum bucket was good as well, if you like sweet. Appetizers were delicious. We had boneless chicken strips... calamari, and onion rings. I also had the crab cake sandwich. Omg! Fantastic. When I'm back in Florida, and in Clearwater, we will definitely be back. Oh yah, great view from the outside third floor balcony, where we actually sat. Thanks for the good eats read more
