    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.

    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.

    Upstairs outdoor bar

    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

    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.

    Fish tacos

    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.

    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

    Can I eat outdoor dining with a small well behaved dog?

    I believe on the patio downstairs but not on the deck.

    As a NYNJ native, I believe I have certain standards for pizza and this spot was a welcome…read moresurprise. The pizza is fresh, flavorful well balanced in flavors and the right size, texture. Service is friendly and quick. Overall, this is my go to spot for pizza in the area!

    My husband mentioned that this is the same owner as the Benny's next to the brewery in Jensen…read more We've been there several times, and the pizza has always been fantastic, so once we realized there was another location much closer to us, we were excited to continue supporting them. This time, my husband called in an order for one extra-large pizza, half with everything and half pepperoni. When he went inside to pick it up, he noticed there was a strong odor that smelled like marijuana. Unfortunately, the employee had taken the order incorrectly. Instead of our pizza, she handed him a small pizza that was half meat lovers and half plain cheese. She realized the mistake after my husband mentioned the error and remade our order. We ended up waiting about eight more minutes and left with both the incorrect small pizza and the correct extra-large pizza. The pizza itself was excellent, just like we've come to expect, so no complaints there. However, having our order taken incorrectly--combined with the strong odor inside the restaurant--made for a less-than-ideal pickup experience. We'll definitely be back because the pizza is worth it, but hopefully the ordering process goes much more smoothly next time.

    Ambiance: Beachfront restaurant (well, sort of beachfront as…read morea Beach in this area is closed off for a major rebuilding process) it's your typical surfer, beachcomber, swimmer type restaurant that you'll find in most oceanfront areas. Weatherford wood walls, outside tables under an awning. Inside tables are also available, although, why anyone would choose an inside table when you have a front row seat to the ocean is beyond me. Interestingly,, they have a few swing tables that you can rock back-and-forth while you eat. Not sure how many people will choose those "moving'" tables but, they're an interesting idea nonetheless. Service: I was provided with my choice of table. (I chose the swinging tables (I just had to try The experience of swinging while eating - which was actually pretty pleasant).I was seated immediately upon my arrival. My server whose name was Cynthia whose name tag said Helga (don't ask) served me quickly and with a smile. She came by several times to check on my needs but was never an overpowering presence. Couldn't ask for anything more with a server. Be warned, (which my server by the way did warn me about.), They charge an automatic 18% gratuity on the bill. Not a problem in my case as a service was excellent. The food: I ordered the mushroom and brie omelette. It came with a side of potatoes and I requested a biscuit. The was your typical omelette the plus being the tomatoes were super fresh but could've had more brie. If potatoes were combined with peppers and onions and we're nice and crispy of friends just the way they should be). Unfortunately they were out of biscuits (even though they have a biscuits and gravy dish). How you run out of SKU Ott's on a Saturday morning is beyond me. My tea was your standard black tea (they did not have steamed milk) served with honey. Interestingly, they didn't have a decent size cup so I was provided with 2 cups and two teabags. The bottom line: As with all my reviews, my (Customer so what) would I return? This restaurant is not in my top 10 but, if the beach was reopened and I wanted an oceanfront dining experience this could be a pretty good place to visit. The service was excellent. The food pretty good and the atmosphere great.
