Food took too long to arrive. Missing an app. Order the stuff flounder...pass. A corporate place is better. The ice water was great though. Coconut shrimp Red Lobster does it better. Ambiance was nice, seaside fun type. read more

Place is awesome great food cold drinks , stinky fish , live crabs . Big titted women with attitude

Food was great! Service was outstanding and location was amazing. I recommend eating out in the patio for the view of the ocean. Great place with great food read more

Stop by here for lunch. Reagan our server was quick and efficient. For appetizers we had conch fritters - a bit under cooked and not at crispy as I would like. We shared a top shelf margarita. Main course was the pick two - grilled shrimp and garlic buttered clams. Added one cluster of crab legs. Sides were house salad and Cole slaw. The clams were well done with an excellent butter sauce. The garlic butter sauce made the grilled crabs taste better as well. There was a band playing some good oldies. read more

Wow, that was one of the worst meals and service I have ever experienced. From having a half empty restaurant and not being able to have our party of 15 sit together to the Hogfish having no taste and the disgusting margaritas, I would not recommend this restaurant to my worst enemy. Much better restaurants in Daytona and Ormond to choose from. The bright side, location on the beach. read more

Fish spread, gator bites and clam chowder was very good. Our server was excellent. Not a fan of the crab cake sandwich or the cole slaw that came with it. Too much filler in the crab cake and took much dressing in the slaw. read more

Food was great & timely. Service was a bit meh, our waitress expressed to us many times of the staffing issues and it came off as complaining rather than a courtesy. Lovely ocean view with dinner! read more

Go if you want to have your car towed. It doesn't matter that you are a paying customer. Took the drive down with my family from Orlando. Went in to have lunch. After I took my kids to for a walk on the beach using the restaurant's beach access. Came back up and my car was gone. After walking around in panic mode I noticed a tow truck lurking around the lot. I asked the driver if my car was towed and he responded in the affirmative. I told him that I was a legitimate customer but he said that he was given instructions from the restaurant. We went to the hostess of the restaurant and related to her what had transpired. She said she couldn't help even though we were legitimate customers. The moment we left the restaurant and did not get into the car we were trespassing and our car can be towed. She also said that there were not responsible for the lot, it was the owner of the lot that was responsible for the towing. I guess we will never know who was responsible. I had to take an Uber to the tow lot and was made to pay $172 to get my car back. I was told that it was cash only. I requested a receipt - was promised to get one but of course I didn't because I'm sure you can figure out why. Came back to the car park to pick up my family. Sat there observing what the security was doing. Rather than ensuring the cars of patrons were protected they were scouting unsuspecting persons who were leaving the restaurants and walking down to the beach. As soon as they stepped foot on the beach their cars were towed away. A perfect setup if you ask me. The security, tow company and restaurant all involved. I reached out to the Director of Marketing. She issued an empty apology and basically said that there was nothing she could do. They need to be made famous for this! Towing legitimate customers is absolutely obscene. Note: There were signs posted but it read: Please no beach parking, Parking for Crabby's Restaurant Only. All others will be towed at owner's expense. Maybe it's just me but I assumed that once you patronized the restaurant you are of course entitled to park there within reason. There was a beach access staircase there as well, so if they don't want you to go down to the beach why have that at all. read more

Food was okay, we had fried fish and shrimp. Wouldn't go here for a 10/10 dinner but sitting outside by the ocean is incredible! Drinks were good too and service was decent. read more

Decided to try this place while visiting Daytona and I'm glad I did! We were seated rather promptly indoors, however I will say outdoors definitely would've been more preferred. Our waitress was very well versed in the menu and helped us choose the best dishes for us. I ordered the key west grilled with a side of coconut rice and Mac and cheese. Lovedddd the coconut rice, it paired so well with the mahi mahi and the shrimp. The Mac and cheese was pretty good as well, but I didn't get to dwell in its entire goodness because I ended up being too full The portion is amazing and for the price you definitely get fed pretty well. Overall, I'd definitely come back here again. The next thing I'd love to try is the snapper! read more

My dad and step mom live in the area and recommended Crabby's for dinner. They shared the Cajun Chicken Alfredo (that's their go to dish), and I ordered the grouper tacos. Both delicious! Our server was very attentive. We sat outside for our meal and enjoyed watching and listening to the waves. Beware of strong winds - They do serve plastic ware cups for drinks and they like to blow away as your drink is close to empty. read more

The food was delicious. My wife and I shared the charbroiled oysters, the oysters were a nice large size reminded me of ones from the Reef in Baton-rouge, The gator bites were delicious and the shrimp-n- grits with sausage was a yummy too. A Our waitress Kimberlee was very attentive and patient. My wife and I met up with my sister and her hubby. Had not seen each other in a while, so you know how it goes. We were seated out on patio and it is very nice, clean and comfortable. I need to take pictures, so sorry! read more

We came here on a Tuesday at 2:30pm and it was surprisingly poppin!! We got seated immediately (there were plenty of tables available). We sat outside and it was BEAUTIFUL! The service was quick and the seating was great. We got the crab dip which was a little too cheesy for me. It came with lots of chips. I'd probably get the fish dip next time instead. We also got the mahi tacos which were fantastic! Great portion of mahi and such fresh flavors. We chose the max n cheese on the side which was not a move. Way too much sauce/cream. I would get a different side. read more

Summer was awesome as our waitress, great recommendations. Food was 5 star, we sat on patio at bar. The hostess not so much, she's young but needs to learn a little customer hospitality! Over all 5 !! Alexa was awesome as well, she also worked in the outside bar area. Go Crabbys read more

This was our first time to Crabby's, and we had a most excellent experience. It was December, it was 70, and we sat outside, and really enjoyed ourselves. A storm had just passed through and the sea was angry that day, my friends. Being in Daytona in the off-season is always a nice change from the crowds, and after a few drinks, our waiter, Horace came by to take our food order. My wife knew what she wanted, but I was undecided, so I asked Horace. His suggestion made the meal. Crabby's has a shrimp and grits dish, served with sliced and toasted baguette for sopping that was incredible. Really great. I talked about it for the rest of our trip. I know it was the atmosphere, I know it was the drinks, but Horace really nailed that one. And he is such a sweet and gentle fellow to talk to. He was on top of his job without seeming like he was in front of us every two minutes. Just a great balance to allow my wife and I to enjoy the scenery and still enjoy a bit of Horace's time. Highly recommend both Horace and that shrimp and grits! read more

It was my first time eating here. Seafood facing the Atlantic Ocean while you eat! I ordered the crab and spinach dip and a side salad with blackened shrimp. I also ordered a piece of their Key lime pie to go. I took a ton of my lunch with me. My server, Maggie, was very attentive and did a great job. I would definitely come back here. read more

I had the grilled shrimp with sides of mac & cheese and fries. Everything was very tasty. Outside seating is directly in front the water, beautiful especially at sunset. read more

Everything that could be wrong was wrong. I'm a local and would never go back or recommend this place to anyone. The clam chowder was ok the crab and spinach dip was terrible we had to send it back. Short rib and grits was terrible just slapped on a plate with so called short rib cubes that where beyond edible. Waitress was the worse she took forever with everything she did. To pay I waited about a half hour to get my cc back, thought she went shopping with it. Needless to say tip was very light because of the awful service. read more

Environment awesome Food great Staff were awesome Our first visit was great with great food and Carlos offered great service! Our second visit was as good with great service from Amanda Everything for two visits was outstanding! read more

Particularly good service from our server, Austin, and a great view of the ocean made this visit worthwhile. Everybody dug the alligator bites, salads were good, and meals were fine. The menu is heavy on fried options, and that is their specialty, so my blackened salmon was just ok, and my wife's little neck clams were too salty. Still, if you're in the mood for some fried seafood, a great view, and ample outdoor bar, this place makes good sense. read more

We stopped here last week and were pleasantly surprised it was only a 15 minute wait for our party of 9. They weren't able to seat us all together but at two tables side by side (no big deal to us!) Everyone at the two tables ordered something different and everything I sampled was delicious! Also- shoutout to our server Matt for the croutons that our toddler ordered. You made her night! read more

Our waitress was the best! We came back a second time while visiting nearby! They offer a great military discount. The food was delicious too! Definitely recommend this location and the patio. It's a beautiful spot for good food and good company. read more

I looked at the YELP reviews, and they were pretty good. Full disclosure I had the sirloin burger at a seafood place. The burger was okay, and the sweet potato fries were delicious. My husband had the crabcake sandwich and sweet potato fries he said they were excellent and very tasty. My daughter had the scallop special with a double order of mashed potatoes. She said the scallops were good. They came on a bed of corn and bacon, she did not eat the bed of corn. She only ate one side of the mashed potatoes because they were so big. The stuffed mushrooms were a little lack luster good but not worth the $11.99 price tag. We thought they were supposed to have crab meat in them, but I think they forgot to add it. Jerry, our server was really good. Very friendly and attentive. Note to self eat seafood at a seafood restaurant. read more

The service was great, and the food was good! I wish I would have realized it had honey mustard on the seafood, which was odd. Other than that, it was pretty good! The conch fritters weren't that great. The onion rings appetizer was huge and very yummy! Not pictured was fish and chips. The fish was pretty greasy, so I don't recommend that. The location is fantastic and right on the beach, so scenic views while you eat. read more

Watch out for the yellow jackets outside. The food and price were good compared to other restaurants in the area. The staff seemed unresponsive to the alarming number of outdoor pests, continued to seat despite consecutive parties asked to be reseated. Something not quite right about the focus of the staff. read more

We've been here a few times now and it's always been good. The food, service and today, the wait. Got a nice parking spot right up front. VIP, they call it. We followed a group of 10. You know me, up to the bar. No waiting. Summer took great care of us. Wife had the grouper sangawich. I had the burger. I know, burger in a seafood place? I heard they were really good. The waitress said the same. I tried it. The grouper was great. Really good flavor. My burger was also good. In and out in 30 mins. Just in time for the Tortugas baseball game. Anyway, good food. Good service. What more could you want. I highly recommend this place. read more

Many times at this place and it just keeps getting better. Our always favorite Brittany is at the bar. She makes sitting outside worth it. Haylee is also taking care of us and has a great sense of humor. Sounds strange at a seafood restaurant but probably the best chicken tenders ever. Hand battered and the seasoning is amazing. They need to make the seasonal clam strips a regular item. These aren't previously frozen or breaded. Fresh crisp and tasty. Did I mention how great the bartenders are? Brittany rocks it! read more

Horrible! Don't waste your money! Plastic plates and bowls for $30 plus meals, really?? Food is bland. Tastes and looks like cafeteria food. Overpriced and under presented. Will never go back.

Ok so imma get right to the point this grouper sandwich did not and I mean DID NOT MISS! It was so fresh and delicious! You can tell it was made to order bcuz it was hot and crispy! And trust me get the crispy onion rings, I honestly didn't not expect the basket to be so big but they give u a lot and the sauce for dipping was good as well. I also ordered the dragon fruit margarita in the bucket I couldn't finish it. It was very strong, which is a good thing and if you're gonna get this bucket, I would recommend sharing with two other people if you sip like me if you are a drinker then have at it! Lol! You can sit outside or inside and the view of the ocean is right next to you! If you sit inside ask for a window seat so you can still enjoy the views. We didn't go to the outside bar but I could here that the vibe was it! They were playing music and there was a guy playing guitar just jamming away! read more

We were in Daytona for Biketoberfest & wanted to try a new place where we could eat outside. We found Crabby's kind of by mistake because we planned to go next door to Landshark; but almost all their food was fried. We walked next door, looked at Crabby's menu & there were steak & salad options for me & lots of fresh seafood choices for my husband. We were promptly seated outside & our server, Jess approached us right away. We ordered a few beers & they came out quickly too. I ordered the house salad & added grilled chicken. It was a medium sized portion; not huge, not skimpy. The lettuce, tomatoes, and onions were super fresh & the chicken was tasty & cooked just right. I ate the whole thing. My husband ordered Crabby's Choice which came with Key West grilled shrimp & Caribbean mahi. He said they were both delicious & cleaned his plate as well. For his 2 sides he got the mixed vegetables, which was basically squash/zucchini. He like that, but his other side; seasoned green beans, was kind of boring. They had cute fire pits next to the patio and there was a beach bar in addition to the inside bar. They advertised live music; but. at 8:00 on a Thursday, it was already over. We will have to come back again because this is the perfect setting to relax, enjoy some good food, have some cold beverages, and listen to live music in a tropical setting! read more

Stopped here on way down oceanfront in Daytona beach. We just stopped into the bar for a quick drink but upon entering there were all kinds of tshirts for sale with their logo. I found one with manatees on it and had to have it. We sat at the bar and were very well taken care of my miss Ashley our bartender. We talked about the Cruz and rums and there's one I don't see by us . It was tropical rum! Then I saw him beam has peach and an orange. She was awesome! Then hubby ordered clam chowder and he said it was very good. I ordered the crab trap a tropical rum based drink in a bucket!! I would love to come eat one day while in area because the menu had lots to offer. read more

Cool place directly on the ocean. Very large inside and out. We tried the patio, but it was too windy and we went inside and sat by the window and watched the wild surf. We started with some conch fritters which were ok, but missing any actual conch. The girls had tacos. One with grouper and one with mahi. Those were pretty good. I had the hogfish imperial and it was not like any hogfish I've eaten. Two very thin fillets that were breaded and baked with a tasteless crab sauce of which there was little crab and cost $37.00. Hardly worth it. Our waitress Kelly was efficient and friendly. I wasn't expecting too much, and my expectations were met. The hostess was unfriendly and seemed very disinterested. There are many seafood restaurants on Daytona Beach and there must be better options than Crabby's, which I think was named for the hostess. read more

This place was great! Went on a bit of a staycation and visited Daytona for the day and decided to grab dinner here. They were very COVID aware, wiping down the tables before we were seated, staff was wearing masks, had hand sanitizer stations, etc. The food was excellent, my shrimp alfredo was creamy and every thing I was expecting. The coconut shrimp was just as good. The margarita we got was a special, a 20 oz. marg that was customizable (frozen or on the rocks, choose a flavor) and got to keep the cup as well. It is a little pricy, but the experience was worth it. Richard (i think was our waiter's name, tall bald guy) was super friendly, helpful and attentive the entire time, rounding out the experience. Will recommend to anyone going to visit Daytona. Great spot. read more
