We waited about 20 minutes for a table as we wanted to sit outside. And it was worth the wait. We were seated right by the beach. Incredible views and sounds of the ocean. Exactly what we wanted. Best seats in the house. We sat for some time watching people around us have their orders taken. Someone finally came over and asked if our server had been by and we said no. She apologized and said she will make sure she knows we are here and can she take our drink order before she comes over. We also placed app ordered. She brought our drinks back shortly after but we still waited some more time for our server to come take our dinner order. One of my sons is a vegetarian and I asked if they can substitute the black bean burger for the children's burger and she said sure. Some time later our apps came out. The hush puppies were cooked perfect but lacked flavor. The kids enjoyed them though. The crab/spinach dip was good for spinach dip but lacked on the crab. Children's portions are huge for the price. The boys enjoyed them and their frozen banana drink. My sister hot the crab cake dinner and enjoyed it. My mom and I ordered the stuffed flounder we both enjoyed it as well. (Forgot to take pictures of the flounder). Also forgot to take pics of the key lime pie and Reese's pie. Both were good. All in all we had a great time/meal but it was very slow. About 2 and a half hours while people around us came in after us and left before us. Server was very nice but very slow. read more

Yum! These were my first crab legs of this style, but they were so soft and delicious ! They pulled apart so well and had so much flavor I didn't need the butter! The coconut shrimp was also so good as well as the Mac n cheese! The outdoor seating was also so pretty nice and right on the beach, which made the entire experience great! read more

Upon first coming in, the hostess had a stank face on- we asked for a table for two. And she just stared at us like we were speaking an unknown language. A male jumped in, and found us a table, the hostess grabbed menus and started walking towards the outdoors (without saying anything). We didn't initially follow her; she stopped after 5 steps looked back with an attitude and I asked her if she wanted us to follow her, she nodded. Not one word out of her mouth. She put the menus on the table and walked away. That put the worst taste in my mouth- and really set the tone for the night- I get it we all have bad days but take a break and come back when you're ready. (Tall blonde with cowboy boots). Moving on- they were out of 2 things we wanted- crab cakes, stuffed flounder. Which was a bummer. We ended up with the Cajun chicken pasta and added shrimp, stuffed mushrooms, onion rings, side of Mac and cheese, and coconut lobster bites. The Cajun chicken pasta was actually really good- portion was huge! The Mac and cheese despite how small the side was- was really good too! I was pleasantly surprised! Onion rings were good- fresh and lightly breaded, and the coconut lobster bites were some of my fav! It came with some sweet/tartar sauce- it was a different flavor but went well with the bites. Initially I ordered the stuffed mushrooms but they lacked in flavor and our waitress Ireland was so sweet to offer us something else- which we got those lobster bites. Our waitress was really sweet- the ambiance outside was also nice being Oceanside. I would have rated this place 1 star- after the initial interaction with the hostess and being out of the two dishes we wanted; but Ireland saved the day along with a few other good options on the menu. read more

I was crabby hungry when we got here. So the name fit right in. Looking up and down this strip for a decent place on the beach. Well Yelp helped us find this place. No question the best piña colada I've ever tasted. My eyes were bigger than my appetite I guess because I order way too much. Never had Hogfish but have been told it's amazing. So I don't have anything to compare but this was pretty dang delicious and 2 pretty good sized pieces. Good sides good appetizers, good service read more

Drove to Daytona for an early dinner with a view. Dining al fresco at its best with the Atlantic Ocean just steps away from where we sat. Even though it was cloudy, the views of the ocean waves were so beautiful!! Our waiter was so friendly and felt so comfortable with us that he sat in our table to explain the menu and took our order. A first for us but we did not mind. I have to say that this was the first and only restaurant to date that really cooked shrimp to perfection; however, the oysters were overcooked. Meal made enjoyable by the restaurant's ambience. If you want a restaurant with a view, this place delivers. Food was just ok. read more

Service was friendly and quick. Our waitress was Hailey T and her recommendations were on point. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even though it may be a tourist spot it felt comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] While we were sitting with the crab and shrimp dip appetizer a party of 24, another party of 15, and another large party of at least 10 came in. It did not phase the servers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wasn't sure about the rhinoceros head though.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will be back. read more

This place has two good things going for it --Our server was an absolute rock star and their beachfront location is nice. The food and drinks are not good, at all. We tried several dishes and could not finish any of them. I can only recommend that if you need to go, that you get a drink that doesn't have to be made, like a beer. Good luck read more

We took an impromptu trip to Daytona Beach for the night, as part of my birthday celebration. Of course I was going to want good seafood and since we loved Crabbys on the Pass in Madeira Beach area, we knew we could trust this place. Although it was dark by the time we got there, sitting by the ocean was amazing. The sound of the waves is calming to me. Our server was great, although I don't remember her name. Nice gal from Michigan. My husband had a bowl of clam chowder to start, and then the strip steak dinner with mashed potatoes and a salad. In his words, the clam chowder was good, but still not Shucks (Omaha). The strip was a great cut, charred great, with a good bite texture. Could be seasoned a little more but otherwise good. The potatoes are basic whipped potatoes. Add S&P, and they are good. I had the half pound Peel n Eat Shrimp. These are large shrimp with the perfect texture, bite ability, and seasoned real nice. We really enjoyed our evening at Crabby's and highly recommend read more

Do not like that you cannot call ahead and make a reservation. Last time waited almost 2 hours for mediocre food. Don't recommend, especially if you have a party over 4 people. read more

I ordered the Coconut Shrimp, and it was fantastic. The royal red shrimp were large, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The sweet coconut and panko batter gave them a great crispy texture while still being light and flavorful. The mango salsa added a fresh, tropical touch, and the piña colada sauce paired perfectly with the shrimp, giving it a nice balance of sweetness. The side of coconut rice completed the dish and brought everything together really well. A delicious, tropical-style dish--definitely one I would order again! read more

I'll start by saying that the grilled grouper that was inside my Caribbean style tacos was very good! The fried grouper bites that my husband had along with a bowl of clam chowder were not so good. They looked more like calamari. At the bar wine was served in wine GLASSES. At the table it came in plastic cups. No. Just no. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was good despite a rainy evening with all diners having to be inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We sat in the bar for faster service in seating. Our waitress was great. Husband had the grouper bites off the appetizer as meal and I had fish Caribbean tacos. read more

We had a good experience at this restaurant recently in Daytona Beach Florida. Maggie was our server and she was great. It was quite busy and noisy on the inside so we ate at an outside window table which was covered/protected from the elements and a great location/view away from the inside crowd (noise). My wife had the salmon dinner with small house salad and I had the Cajun Alfredo. The Cajun Alfredo was good (but chicken a bit on the dry side); however, my wife's salmon was a bit overcooked, but that's OK. Overall, a very good service experience from Maggie and neat atmosphere... read more

Wonderful oceanside dining area with a nice selection of seafood. We started with the special coconut lobster bites; they were chewy and overdone so our waitress returned them and the next batch were good; the accompanying pina colada sauce was excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive. Our entrees were the special crab stuffed grouper & shrimp (Smokey and flavorful) and hogfish imperial; both were good despite the fact that we swapped them because we liked the other better. The coconut rice was great and the vegetable sides were crisp and fresh. read more

It's located on the beach, has outdoor seating. We got here for dinner, got an outside table but it was a little chilly, but it was more chilly for my dog so we asked to sit inside. everyone's food looked good. I ordered an 1.5 pound crab legs, french fries and mix veggies. The french fries were the bomb one of the best I had. The quality of my crab legs were good, tasted good, but it wasn't cooked right that the legs were stuck and didn't come out good. Whew I enjoyed my long Island ice tea! Service wasn't bad. It was a little slow, but it was ok. Would I go back for more crab legs here, I don't think so because the legs didn't come out! but remember, they have amazing french fries! read more

Great food & Service! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ocean view was stunning![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bartenders outside were excellent!

We were looking forward to some seafood on our beach vacation and this place was packed so we thought it would be a good choice. We ordered drinks which were great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They sat us outside and the view was fantastic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was very friendly. We ordered shrimp and mahi. The shrimp was cooked to perfection with a delicious glaze. The mahi was overcooked and we were a little disappointed. Still we would both come back we had a lovely time and would try different items next time. read more

First visit was so good we came back the next day for lunch! Jenn and Britt are the best bartenders on the planet. Hit the outside bar for the full experience. If you've never had royal red shrimp, they're a must. Unlike any others. Taste like lobster. The clam and mussel bowl is excellent. Reasonable prices, great view of the beach. Don't miss Crabby's! read more

Got the key west shrimp and fritter were really good but the mahi was over cooked and dry coleslaw tastes like miracle whip was used for the sauce. Kid got the fish and chips fries were good but the fish was overcooked and flavorless. Over all I was disappointed and wouldn't come back.

We got their famous key lime pie to go and after eating that I absolutely see why they have some many accolades! Yum! read more

As relatively new local transplants to Daytona Beach, we love this place! View is incredible plus you can walk right down to the ocean from the outdoor seating. Mahi tacos and combo platter plus beach bucket of booze was delicious! Today was so beautiful I was mesmerized by the ocean and forgot to take pics. Our waitress Angie was delightful during our visit and we'll always come back for more. Please don't change a thing Crabby's!!! read more

This was our 2nd visit here ever, and both times were great, so I'm leaving a review to reflect our great experiences! Today we arrived shortly after they opened. This restaurant is located just 0.5 miles away from Daytona's Pier, and has very convenient parking. You have an indoor seating area, as well as an outdoor option on the astroturf facing the Atlantic Ocean immediately next to the beach sand of Daytona so you're pretty much right on the water. We opted to sit indoors, but by the window. I am giving this a 5-star review because everything overall was really great. For our appetizer we ordered the Crab and Spinach Dip. The girls don't like seafood -- crab included; however they devoured every last bit of that dip and there were no more chips at the end... really good stuff. Toward the end we did have to break out a fork and knife to break up the last bit of cheese in the dip, and we scraped the sides of the bowl to get some of that burnt-cheese magic. The girls loved their chicken strips and chicken tacos. They opted for the French fries (each entree gets 1-2 sides) and the mashed potatoes. The wife wasn't too hungry, so she ordered the clam chowder, which had lots of nice little clam bits inside. We mixed some crackers into it, which made it even more yummy. I got the stuffed flounder. So this was the only '4' today. The crab cake center was very good, but I didn't taste much flavor on the flounder itself, which was a bit surprising given all the other flavorful foods today. The girls ordered virgin Pina Colada's which they loved, although my wife thought they were too sweet. With respect to service: our server, Reagan, could not have been any better. He was helpful, made menu suggestions and gave us very helpful recommendations about what he liked on the menu. He was very attentive to our drink refills and was most pleasant! 2 thumbs up for Mr. Reagan! Next time we go, we'll likely still opt for the indoor seating. We love it in there! read more

Beautiful location facing the water. Good prices on the food. Staff was a little less attentive than I like...so much so that she said the table next to us walked out without paying. Crabcakes had more crab than most places and were a good size. I would come back. read more

Choose this place driving up and down the waterway with my parents looking for a new lunch spot. We wanted a place we could sit outside and watch/ hear the ocean waves. This spot was perfect for that. We arrived and although there was no one hanging out at the hostess stand, a girl greeted us shortly and we were seated within 5 minutes. My mom ordered a drink and we ordered the crab dip to start. Unfortunately, the dip never came. The waitress stated that it was taken to another table so she was never reminded to pick it up. She ended up taking it off our bill but still brought it to the table later on; super nice of her. All of our food looked great and tasted good too! I ordered the boom boom shrimp as my meal and a side of fries. The sauce wasn't too spicy and the shrimp still had great crunch even with the sauce. Overall, great lunch, service and views! read more

Late night bites with my cousins! We tried a little of everything. We started with the peel and eat shrimp 10/10 I would ask for a side of seasoning. The crab cake 8/10 could've been thicker for just get one for $13. The conch fritters were really good 9/10 not a lot of conch but really good taste. The friend shrimp was ok 7/10 kinda standard. The Mac and cheese was good average but it was a whole lot of cheese for me 6/10. The fries 10/10! The best the clam strips they were seasoned so well and fried to perfection 10/10 for sure! We sat outside since it was night time and a nice breeze. It was really nice. Dark but chilled. They do offer in door sitting; tables and booths. They have a bar inside and outside. The service was great. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our waitress offered honest suggestions for drinks and food. We really enjoyed our visit. read more

Crabby's is a Florida must for me! They have several locations all over the state. Mostly in the beach towns, of course. We came in for a few drinks after dinner at another restaurant. I wasn't sure what to get and the bar tender helped with their canned cocktail and seltzer options. I opted for a new to me drink, Surfside hard iced tea, and it was pretty good! My husband stuck with ole faithful Miller Lite. The restaurant (and restrooms) were clean and the bar tenders were polite and attentive. I just wish Crabby's would bring back to crab pretzel! Yes the soft pretzel that was shaped like a crab. Nothing more exciting than that! read more

The food and service was so awesome, we went both nights that we were in Daytona Beach. I will name the staff that I can remember, because they were all incredible, but Katelin is the reason we returned. The honor roll: Emily (Hostess), Sam (Bartender), Brittany (Bartender (Sister of the amazing Katelin)), Waitresses extraordinaire: Kayla, Mellisa, and Maggie. And the star of Crabby's Oceanside, the Amazing Katelin. If you are lucky enough to experience the service of Katelin, you have been seated in the presence of greatness. She'll never admit that, but when we go back to Florida, we will visit there and ask for her. Oh, and last, but not least, Carissa, the manager (I hope I got that one right)!!! Oh yeah, the blackened grouper, coconut rice, and the crispy brussel sprouts were fantastic. read more
