    Reviews With Photos - Crabby's Dockside Ft. Pierce

    Gross.  Crab is expensive.  Smells like the docks outside.  Tasted terrible.  Made us sick.  Not sure what that sauce is.  Not tasty.
    Que S.

    Oh Crabby's. Shame on you. Why do you think your restaurant is empty during the busy holiday season? The crab is expensive, not fresh, tastes terrible and is smelly like the docks outside the place. Crabby's knows this. We expected an empty reply. Something like, 'sorry it didn't meet your high expectation.' 'Take more of your time to write us about it.' 'Our commitment to excellence.' M'am you're not honest. You know you are delivering garbage. How about we come by now and you give us our money back? We post when it is amazing. Or, when we wish we knew. Because we all felt sick after eating at Crabby's, and someone woke up sick we are taking time to warn. Crabby's has other reviews that say the same. The representative says they are sorry and makes excuses. Crabby's what do you like when you go out with our hard earned money? Crabby's, would you like us serving you a spoiled soaked salad that has been sitting around all day? Is that salt and sugar in the Caesar dressing? There was not a crisp fresh bite. You know this though, don't you? There is no excuse and apologies are insulting. The plates were sent out. What's the truth about your crab Crabby's? Discount, bulk, frozen? Once defrosted sitting around for days? The crab was a smaller portion than pictured. The charge is for the weight of the shells, not the food. There was very little food in the spoiled fishy tasting claws. We worked to crack through. The sauce, ewe. It was not edible. We were hungry. It was expensive. It was gross. The fact the place was pumped with freezing cold air at night caused the food to get cold immediately. We sat there freezing. One of us was wearing a coat we ski in. It was uncomfortable. People have posted about that before. Someone ordered tea, mentioning it's freezing. The server joked. No tea was served. The fish and chips... have you had fish and chips? Crabby's was one rubbery piece of disgusting cold fish. What kind, is hard to say. No crispy batter coating. Not a yummy bite. Cold fries. How do you ruin fries? The food sat on our plates. The server ignored that. We were polite to them and tipped. Dirty dishes piled up as we ate, crab shells and napkins piled up. Despite only a few other guests being there. No one asked did we need anything. No one asked did we need more water. We gave Crabby's a chance, after waiting a while to be seated. Crabby's stole from it's customers. You know you are delivering garbage. You know when you feel uncomfortable to leave plates full of food? The server instead of noting the obvious, the food is all still on the plates, no one touched the disgusting salad, what does that tell them? "Would you like some to-go boxes?" We thanked the server, tipped them for what they did not earn. So you take it. You know you will never eat it. You feel guilty for the wasted food. People, including ourselves are hungry. That was our fancy night out. We are on today's budget. When we went to the grocery store after, to get something to eat. We thought about the amount of hours we worked to pay for the Crabby's experience. Someone in our family works on their feet, a full time shift, to pay for that. Shame on you Crabby's. Nothing presented was edible. No care was in the customer experience. It was expensive. You have been told on Yelp, you are there, and you know better. Customers may like to know what you do to make this right Crabby's. Spare the empty apologies and phrases like 'sorry your experience didn't meet your expectations.' -in faith Thank you.

    Great place for lunch on a Saturday. We could not have had a more pleasant server than Jess. She even offered me a sample of the clam chowder when I asked how thick it was. I ordered the chowder and it was terrific. You can taste the clams and the bacon. It is thick but not too thick. I also had the shrimp nachos which were on their seasonal menu. Wonderful! It was easy to hear the others at my table and the view was top notch.

    Excellent food, selections, service and a great location. And an ice cream bar to top it off!

    Bairdi crab with sides of grits
    Jake A.

    We stopped here while staying on the coast. The crab was ridiculously good. We ordered the bairdi crab legs they came out drenched in old bay and paprika and ready to go. The drinks were ok not very strong. The restaurant was very ocean themed which I liked. The ice cream shop inside is a must. My son loved the strawberry ice cream it was very light and not sugary it was almost like sherbet. We will be back, our waiter was very good not overbearing which was good because eating crab legs is a chore

    Went here with a friend while we were down in Florida doing some family business. We started out with the Gator nuggets appetizers, not bad, more of a novelty. Both of the main courses were great, I had the Hogfish Snapper and my friend had the Crab shrimp boil (in a bag) the sides were also delicious. The mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese were delicious. We ended the meal with Key Lime pie and an ice cream sundae. Our waiter Kyle was great and always on hand to get things that we needed. His recommendations were spot on! Will return someday.

    Key West Combo
    Laura F.

    This was a nice spot right on the Fort Pierce marina with great views. The food came out quickly and was great. The key west combo was on the sweeter side but balanced well while the grouper bite appetizer was on the savory side. This is a great combo and all while enjoying a nice view on the second floor! Our waiter Logan was so friendly and attentive.

    Chuck O.

    Good variety of different types of food. We had a mix of appetizers and a bowl of clam chowder. The soup was very tasty. The hush puppies hit the spot. Loved the fried pickles too

    Fish tacos
    Ricardo B.

    Come here for the view and enjoy a good meal with great service. If it's not too hot, request a table outside on their second floor: you get downtown historic fort pierce on one side and the marina on the other side. I had a cup of their clam chowder (it was more of a bowl than a cup) and it was good: chunky, salty, creamy. I also asked for the mahi-mahi tacos with mango salsa and a street corn for my side. The tacos were good but needed a little more lemon for my taste. But that's on me because the plate came with three really juicy lemon wedges. The corn was delicious and it hit the spot with the cream, the spice and the corn itself wasn't that sweet so everything worked. We didn't leave room For dessert so we will have to come back! Oh! You can buy ice cream on the first floor by the way and that I've had before. Service was friendly and prompt.

For starters, the calamari was perfectly crispy and fresh. Sauce ok, but the calamari was good all by itself. I highly recommend the butterflied snapper with steamed veggies. Delicious! The veggie pasta plate was huge and the pasta cooked to perfection. The shrimp scampi pasta was sooo good. The linguini was perfectly al dente and the shrimp big and plump and yummy. Oh! And let's not forget the mile high key lime pie. Even if you don't care for key lime pie you will absolutely love this one. It's more like a key lime ice cream but better.

It can be pretty frustrating, especially if you're visiting for the first time and end up driving around in circles trying to find it. Once you arrive, though, it's worth the effort. The restaurant is located right on the water next to the boat ramp and has an enormous amount of parking. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, along with a full bar area. The outdoor seating is especially nice since it's completely covered on the deck but with all of the bushes and plant surrounding the deck, you're not really getting much of a view. This visit, we opted to sit at the bar and were lucky enough to snag three seats together. Our bartender was awesome and did a fantastic job throughout the meal. They don't serve liquor here, only beer and wine, so I ordered a rosé. The bartender recommended a cute little $16 bottle that came in its own mini bucket. It was adorable and paired perfectly with my meal. For my entrée, I ordered the Ahi tuna with broccoli and a side salad. Everything was fresh and delicious. My husband, however, definitely won the meal competition with the shrimp stuffed with crab meat and mashed potatoes. I stole a bite, and wow--it was incredible. The flavor and texture were outstanding, and I'll absolutely be ordering that next time. One of the funniest parts of the visit was the bartender's T-shirt featuring Anthony Bourdain flipping you off on the back. They were selling them, and I couldn't resist buying one. I'm pretty excited to wear it. Overall, we always enjoy coming here. Great waterfront atmosphere, good food, friendly service, and plenty of parking make it a place we'll continue to visit.

We arrived right at sunset, and the view alone was worth the trip--golden skies, boats drifting by, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. The crab cakes were excellent--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor. The poppers were just as good, with a great crunch and bold taste. Everything came out fresh and well-prepared. Drinks were cold and refreshing, perfect for enjoying while watching the sunset over the water. What really adds to the experience is the live entertainment. On weekends, they have bands playing that bring that laid-back, Florida-chilled atmosphere to life without overwhelming the vibe. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole experience even better. This is more than just a place to eat--it's a full waterfront dining experience. Great food, great views, live music, and a true Florida feel.

He had it for a while, God only knows what data base I'm now part of, but hey, great reviews, let's go. The guard gave my license back as well as a parking permit. Asked about the restaurant, he said drive to the stop sign and turn left. There's a row of shops and a Sauders sign. Did get a tiny bit confusing...none of the storefronts was Sauders. There was a dingy looking alley opening...found them. Walking down this dingy alley (there were three old window a/c units running up high, I mean old, tired, dirty and all three are dripping water into buckets below them on the concrete). We get to a tired residential screen door and that is the entrance. We were greeted right away. Said two for dinner. The hostess asked if we had reservations...we said no. We asked to sit inside. This is not the restaurants fault, but the marina is under construction, there are no docks or boats outside the windows, just rebar and dirt, however the windows and screens were dirty. There are dive bars and old restaurants with charm, Sauders is neither. Inside it just looks very tired and extremely dated You know how Restaurant Impossible or Bar Rescue showes usually start, with John Tapper and Robert Irving having a lot to say. They would have a lot to say at Sauder's. Carolyn, our server, lived up to the reviews that mention her. She was prompt, knew all the specials and did a good job throughout our meal. We ordered some Calemari. The batter was falling off, so if you tried to pick up a piece, you basically had a piece of squid. The marinara sauce was hot and had a good flavor. We had the shrimp linguine Alfredo. There were plenty of shrimp. Tha pasta was spaghetti, not linguine, but cooked properly. Could have had a little more sauce but tasted OK. The meal came with a salad. Everything was fresh, cold and crisp. Carolyn informed us the thousand island was made at the restaurant and it was OK. Summary...the food was ok, the dining room was tired, oh yeah, the rest rooms were behind doors rusting under their paint in that dingy alley and my wife said the one she went into was not nice. I honestly don't know how you could give this a 4 or 5 rating. If I knew what we were going to experience, I'd never give my driver's license to that guard and we would find another of the many seafood places in town. Sorry Sauder's, you need to make an investment in your business.
