Pretty good location on the beach strip. The first time I ate here I had a pretty good experience. This time I went and the service sucked. Our waiter barely checked in us and the food took forever to come. I got a daiquiri and it was pretty watered down. As I was leaving I saw another customer receiving bad service from their waiter. The food isn't bad but I wouldn't go out of my way to go to this place. read more

Had the muscles and clams. Thought it tasted a little off. Needless to say I've been sick all evening. Should have sent it back but gave them the benefit of the doubt. It won't happen again. read more

This is my Sunday place. I've been going with my dad and my friend Jeff for at least the past 4 Sundays. Watch the sun go down while we eat amazing oysters and Bairdi . Then a nice long walk on the beach. The food is always delicious. The vibe is fun. The staff are great. I just look forward to this all week. read more

The Sunset Cooler is by far the best drink any of our group has ever had! The service is fantastic! The food was amazing! Lot of great options! We had to come back a few more times before we left! read more

Go to the 3rd floor bar, find Sammy and be happy. Calamari was very good with some hot peppers mixed into a very good portion of calamari. We're on a mission to eat and drink at all the Crabbys locations. This was a good start. read more

Get the Bairdi crab and definitely have Phrank as your server. Outstanding service and food!!!

Oysters where small and when they brought the shrimp they didn't offer cocktail sauce. Service was good but food not so much. Restaurant was clean and updated. read more

Very good seafood and strong drinks for a great price! Probably one of the best meals we had in Clearwater! Our server was also the bartender, Brittany! She was on top of it and super nice! I suggest getting a rum bucket, they're so tasty and only $12! read more

Great little spot outside to have drinks, apps, listen to some music and watch the boat cruises come and go

A no brainer when visiting. Ask for the 3rd floor. It's breezy and the view is GORGEOUS. Our server, Sam V. was an absolute doll! Relatable, so personable and a good time. The place of all places. Thanks Sam! read more

Was in the area a few days and stayed within walking distance. It was super hot and I needed to find a place to relax from the sun and cool off. I found myself at Crabby's, and decided to dine on the upper desk. I am so glad that I did. I was able to cool off and enjoy a nice view of the waterfront with excursion rentals while view the beach from another view. My server was super friendly. I ordered the grouper sandwich prepared blackened. My sandwich was light, with a bit of flake and very fresh. I spent about an hour or so there before leaving. The panoramic views, cool breeze and shade was very relaxing. read more

The drinks were so good! We had rum runner buckets and they didn't slack on the alcohol. I had the fish tacos and they were delicious. They give you three tacos with a side, I had the beans and rice which were also good. The service was awesome and the atmosphere was a great beach and outdoor vibe. Would definitely come here again! read more

Awesome place to eat! Fresh seafood; great fish and chips. The batter wasn't thick, and their coleslaw was really good. If you are into Mojito's, their coconut version is sooooooo good! Now I'm looking forward to my next trip to Clearwater!!! read more

This place it pretty good! Everything we got was yummy. Really loved the mixed drinks, and that they offered virgin versions so the kids can have something yummy. The kids food came out fast & we greatly appreciated that! The shrimp & burger were yummy. We loved our crab legs, mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese too. The only thing that was not on par with everything else was our lobster tail. We got the $65 one, which was enough for us to split, but it just was over cooked. That was a bit disappointing, but over all everything else was good. read more

My boyfriend and I were craving fresh seafood for lunch, particularly since we're so close to the bay on a mini vacation from Central florida. This was suggested to us and an excellent one at that. Service was quick and efficient, Stacy our waitress was lovely and the food was on point. My boyyfriend's crab was succulent & juicy. My grouper was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. All in all quite happy with our experience and would definitely come back if we're ever back in the area. read more

The perfect place to dine & watch the sun set on Clearwater beach. My hubby Brian had crab legs, & I had Lobster. We share our meals to get the entire experience & both meals were DEVINE!!!! Our waitress Peggy was FANTASTIC, she came back to our table to check on us & give easier instructions to Brian on how to successfully remove the crab meat, she was so helpful. The owner even came over to greet us, and hay a treat. It's a MUST place to dine at. Farmers from MN read more

My family and I stopped by for a late dinner. Everything was fresh, but we especially enjoyed the oysters! Service was a bit slower than we liked but we try to give people some grace cause of staffIng shortages. Overall, a good place to catch some late bites. read more

Awesome restaurant with a view. A little pricy but that's expected in a touristy area. One of us got the grouper sandwich and on the menu it says market price which ended up being $18.99. The Buffalo chicken sandwich was good very hot! Fries are very good too. I got the bucket drink (32 oz) which was $13. Very sugary & not too much alcohol but a fun drink. The frozen vodka lemonade was $11 but it's vacation so not a big deal just might be a little pricy for some. I would sit on the 3rd floor if you can- great view. Service was good. The food runner who brought out our food had dirty black fingernails which was pretty gross but our waitress was very good and kind and staff wore masks. read more

Amazing seafood! I brought my boyfriend who's from northern texas here (he doesn't really get seafood much) and he absolutely loved it! We both really enjoyed it! read more

Phrank on the third floor bar always gives 5 star service!! We come to Crabby's to see Phrank and stay for the delicious food. Our favorite is the Blackened Salmon and the stuffed Flounder, but ALWAYS add the imperial topper. Trust me. Definitely give Crabby's a try. Make sure to ask for Phrank! If he's not there ask for Mr. Jim! read more

We came here for lunch and had Brooke for our server. She was terrific ! So friendly, helpful and prompt ! We had the peel and eat shrimp and each got a grouper sandwich. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious. You can sit on the third floor in the evening to watch the sunset. I would definitely return ! read more

Sat at the outdoor bar and had an awesome bartender who made amazing drinks! Margaritas were 10/10. 2 stars is for the food. Very subpar. Unseasoned cafeteria food. Green beans had no flavor (despite having bacon in it) and were mostly water. My grilled grouper had a bland Beurre blanc sauce served over it with about 3 pieces of crab meat, as you can see pictured. Not worth the $30 I paid for it. Would stop again for drinks, but would not have dinner here. read more

Nice experience with outdoor seating. Katie our server was great. The restaurant missed our apps but Mark the manager took them off our bill and offered some nice amenities. Good solid food with good value. read more

Excellent views of Clearwater Beach when dining on 3rd floor. Laid back, casual atmosphere. Food is good, as are the drinks.

First time here & very satisfied! The drink was icy & refreshing. Grouper was fresh and perfectly fried! The fries were plentiful & delicious as well! We sat on the second floor and enjoyed the view & the A/C! Thank you Crabby's! We will definitely be back! read more

Pricey, however I did get the lobster tail and I knew the price tag comes along with that. It was a large tail and very tasty. Both of my kids got a cheeseburger and loved it as well. Taylor our waitress was very sweet and tentative. read more

This place is amazing, the food, the atmosphere, the staff, are perfect. Everyone was super friendly. They have a bar seating, outdoor seatings, and second-floor indoor seating. Our hostess was amazing, we had a party if 11 and she was on top of it. I salute her for the effort. The menu is alot but so much verity to choose from. We ordered the Cleveland oysters as an appetizer and they we're amaizing. Fully baked with crusted parmesan cheese, a hint of garlic butter, and a slice if lemon to sqweeze before serving. Worth every bite. For the main course I ordered the Bairdi Crab legs (fire-roasted). They we're deliciously amazing. The seasoning on the crab legs had a great kick, the meat was really fresh and melts in my mouth. Not to mention the delicious butter Dip that comes with it. Just a heads up, it's extremely messy! There is no price on it as it is seasonal, ask the hostess before ordering. My wife got the fish and chips and they we're fresh and cooked to perfection. The fish was slightly crunchy and flakey just like it supposed to be (not dry). Over all, worth it. read more

We were all starving so we ate. That's about the only good thing of the meal. My grouper sandwich had no sauce or seasoning. It was pretty sad looking. I wouldn't trust much on the menu. Didn't help that all I wanted to drink was water and it didn't come out until I was done eating. Tables and menus are sticky too. Kids menu is cheap, so that's worth two stars. Kids cheeseburger didn't seem to have much, if any, cheese. read more

Ate here last summer while on vacation with my fiancé and friends. Being from the Midwest, we wanted to experience some of Florida's freshest seafood they have to offer and this place was recommended by a local. The restaurant had open walls and it was amazing to sit and have a meal with friends while hearing the sounds of the ocean with the night breeze. The crab was some of the best crab I have ever had in my life. I also had a Mai Tai which was average. The atmosphere was very upbeat and the waiters seemed to really love what they do! They gave us tourists great advise about all the crab options and selections. The dining area was a bit crowded, busy and loud. The bar was centrally located around bars, other restaurants, and the beaches. We headed over to Toucan's for drinks and dancing after dinner. read more

A trendy restaurant with great geographical positioning to attract potential customers. Restaurant is new and clean with three floors. Food is good. We ordered our appetizer, but a main course side salad arrived first. Then, one-third through our appetizers our main course was brought out. So, we never had a chance to finish our appetizer. To say this place rushes to flip tables would be the understatement of the year. Friendly service to get you in and out - NOTHING more. I would not return here or recommend this place. The manager was very responsive to my input and very apologetic- but they need to get these things right if they want to remain. The whole beach front is filled with abandoned restaurants - my guess is that this will be another one in a few years. read more

I wanted to see Clearwater, Florida. My girlfriend and I stopped in Crabby's for a quick app bite... sat right on the 1st floor, at the bar with the puppy. We got the calamari and conch fritters. The bartender, Leslie was attentive and friendly. Both apps were good... especially the spicy conch fritters. Well worth the visit! read more

We LOVE this place! Our bartender SAMMY WAS AMAZING! She is so energetic and makes the whole vibe! Our food was incredible and we had a great time and ate wonderful food! read more

Great view for have a few drinks! Not sure if I'll be coming back to eat. The Conch Fritter had one tiny piece per bite. Creamy crab & spinach dip, it was more cheese and spinach than crab. Our salad were ok, we order one of each. Overall you paid for the view. read more

Not sure if I'd go here again.. I'm on the fence.. Expensive grouper tacos, $18.18 after tax, but tasty. Slower than I'd like for just a quick to-go order of tacos & coleslaw. I got w/o cheese (real tacos don't need cheese), I liked the Mango Salsa, good tacos, but overpriced. Only 1 stall for womens & 1 stall for mens. Several of us women just went and used the mens, because the line for the single use bathroom was waayyy too long!! Why not just make 2 unisex bathrooms, honestly... Bartender Phrank was slammed busy, but he was nice & helped me out in a rush! Overall was ok..., but not on my highlights reel to take out-of-state family or friends... just went here for convenience before a boat ride. read more

What a view! Great location walk right to/from the beach & marina. A gorgeous multi level building with elevators, nice deco lighting and open covered decks facing the marina and the shore. 3 full bars, one on each floor give you plenty of options for seating. If there is a wait the bars are a great place to sit! Lots of local and domestic beer on tap and frozen drinks galore. We chose the second floor and had great service from Frank (Phrank) who was not only a fun bartender he was great for conversation and took good care of us and other customers. Food was great, good sized (quality) shrimp, awesome clam chowder and appetizers. Saw lots of pasta dishes going by and a great selection of meals you can combine with crab legs. We thought the Mac and cheese was good (homemade and creamy). As a local you feel like some of the seafood and beach restaurants around here are subpar and touristy but this place is real good! A nice place for a family dinner, drinks& food night out or date night due to the ambience and view (not to mention a great place to walk around after you eat). We can't wait to come back and try more menu items. Come check this place out! A "local" recommended it. If you are going to hang at the bar, ask for Phrank! read more
