I finally got a picture of the Bourbon shrimp before LOL It's so good, it's hard to stop and take a pic. If you're wanting seafood and something a bit different, you've got to try this. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and the toast to mop up the remaining sauce was perfect. Next time this will be my entree! We sat at the bar and the two ladies serving drinks, food and banter were fabulous. I also recommend the stuffed flounder, which is my favorite. If you're having a salad there's nothing better than the mango vinaigrette. Of course, with the waves and breeze, how could you go wrong? read more

Crabby's Oceanside - Bourbon Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

Gaberial took care of us with the kind of quiet attentiveness that makes you exhale a little deeper. He moved with ease, checked in at the perfect moments, and made us feel genuinely looked after. The food held its own--solid flavors, nothing trying too hard. The space was clean and calm, even the bathrooms carried that 'someone actually cares' energy. Overall, a grounded, pleasant experience with a server who really showed up for his role. read more

Delicious food, good service, and right by the water which was super nice. It was cooler out because it was raining, but I wouldn't recommend sitting outside when it's super hot out. I didn't see any fans. read more

Terrible service. Waited 50 minutes for food. Food came out and wife's meal was cold and mine had scorched old bay and tasted as if salt was their cover up. Not a picky eater but not touching their food at all. Expensive for piss quality food. Atmosphere was decent. read more

Have to watch the bill. Had a false up charge on ours. I find that kind of theft inexcusable. And it's theft. Suppose I walked out without paying... same same... and how many didn't catch this up charge when it happened to them? They claim "computer error" which is their fault and responsibility... can't just excuse yourself guys. read more

Gluten free friendly My husband and I had a fantastic experience. The server was very helpful and considerate of my food allergies and made great recommendations. He kept the kitchen aware of my situation and ensured a safe meal which was also delicious. Large portions and reasonable price. The GF key lime pie was excellent. I will definitely return to Crabby's! read more

We came for seafood and definitely got what we came for! Sat outside with a storm brewing although it never ended up raining on us. Appetizer seafood and crab dip was okay, egg rolls were amazing so I'd recommend them for sure! The crab and peel and eat shrimp were delicious and had me wishing for more once it was gone! One of our kids had the kids grilled fish and ate it all (she didn't know she even liked fish)! Service was great and they started moving people inside when we thought it was going to rain. read more

The food wasn't anything special to be honest. What made our time here pleasant was the service- she was wonderful I think her name was Lynn? And the view of the ocean from the deck with the breeze. We had oysters which were prob the best part, conch fritters which no, fish taco which maybe and a mojito which we didn't like. Again great ambience and service, maybe we just didn't find the right food combination to order. read more

Food was amazing had lobster roll! Fresh and delicious, Sat out side bartenders great service

We loved the beach front outdoor space! They had great live music that wasn't too loud. Fair prices and big plates for beach front. The fish, fries, rice, and shrimp were all delicious. The staff and service were great read more

The staff were very pleasant and the food was very good! My husband had the lobster and he said it was fixed to perfection and had great flavor. I had the Boom Boom shrimp tacos. They ere excellent! There were three of them which I could only eat two so shared the other one with my husband which he enjoyed. They do have outside seating by the ocean but we sat inside due to it being a bit chilly. read more

Good food. I had the grouper sandwich. Came in hot and delicious. The Martini was on point.

Stopped by one of the Crabby's locations we hadn't been to yet for some beverages... The special was a Rum Punch: Cruzan silver rum mixed with tropical juices and a souvenir cup! Very Good! Great view of Daytona Beach and the ocean..Bre, our serve was very nice! PS...just decided to get some hushpuppy appetizers as well.. read more

Arrived around 4:30-5:00 & seated immediately outside. Loved the touch of the artificial grass on the porch. Server was quick & ordered beverages right away. Ordered peel n eat shrimp, calamari salad and Mac n cheese with shortribs. All food was hot and tasted good. The birds were a fun show to watch on the porch gather crumbs. Excellent view of the ocean. Worth going. read more

Excellent Food-Service-Ambiance. Views. I had the Grilled Shrimp with veggie. The best. $5 Margarita is super great. read more

Ambience is typical crab shack. Nothing special. Everything (including the restrooms) is very clean. The service was lacking. We were not greeted upon arrival. We had to wait for several minutes. Once seated we were passed from one waitress to another. The waiting for service continued. We were so hungry it didn't matter. The food was very good!! The crab/spinach dip is a winner! So good. Lobster, crab, all very fresh & delicious. The food would bring us back The drinks were also very tasty. However, the portions are VERY small which resulted in everything being over-priced. They really need to read the reviews and make changes. Checked in on Yelp and got a free appetizer! read more

Awful service. Had to call the waitress over to my side of the table several times as the place is very, very noisy, she in turn seemed not a bit concerned. As to the food, my grouper was cold and not blackened correctly, my wife's cod was undercooked. Went for my Bday with a party of 6 and we all were very displeased. I do not recommend. read more

My family and I really enjoyed this place. The food was good. The service was great too. We were able to get a table outside near the water, which was really nice. One of the best places to eat at Daytona Beach. We will definitely be back when we are in area. read more

Stopped to have an appetizer. Decided to sit outside as I enjoy the beach/ocean view. Service as just average, wasn't quick like fast food and not slow like a Michelan 5-star restaurant. I enjoyed the Lobster Bites and a beverage. Next time I pass through town, I will consider stopping in again. read more

Crabby's was a great beachside restaurant experience right in middle of Daytona Beach! You can tell that the quality of the food is top notch and that people love coming back to this place again and again. I had the Shrimp and Grits and let me tell you, as a guy born and raised in Louisiana, THIS WAS SPOT ON! The shrimp were seasoned perfectly, and grits, or flavorful and buttery. Definitely in my TOP 3 favorite shrimp and grits that I've ever had! Loved every minute of this visit and would definitely go back. read more

We were in town for a college visit at embry-riddle. I stopped in with my wife and daughter for lunch. We were actually some of the first people there on a Tuesday. I didn't like the smell as soon as we walked in, kinda turned me off of eating. It was a fish market smell. We sat inside because of the heat. Horace was our waiter, he was nice and did a great job. My wife and I split the creamy crab and spinach dip and coconut shrimp meal and my daughter had the chicken tenders. Our sides were mashed potatoes and mac n cheese. All was ok. The crab and spinach dip didn't have much of a crab flavor to me. Our coconut shrimp was probably the best. It actually had enough flavor without the jelly dipping sauce but was great with the sauce too. Overall I think we would return but maybe when it's not 95° so we can experience the outside dining by the ocean. That probably would have made this a 5 star review. read more

Cute atmosphere. Extremely family friendly. We will make this a staple here at Daytona! The clam chowder is AMAZING. Best clam chowder I've ever had in my life. Avocado egg rolls OMG...they had a kick and the sauce complimented them so well. Crab cake was good just wish it was more flakey and less ground. Creamed corn with bacon wonderful addition to any meal. Wasn't crazy about the dip but it was not bad. read more

I had high expectations for this place.. We ordered mussels in the white wine sauce (they were a bit chewy, i guess overcooked) and so much sand in it, not enjoyable . Crab dip was ok. Scallops($36) were the biggest disappointment.. again.. sand! The portion was great! But i had to wipe every single scallop with my napkins to be able to eat it. Sucks! But I liked the coleslaw as a side dish. We ordered mac and cheese, grilled chicken for kids ( if was blackened, not mention on the menu, i should have asked) lots of black pepper.. kids couldn't eat it. the few thing we liked: crab legs and steamed shrimp. Waitress was friendly. The place was very busy! Anyways.. after 40 min wait and sandy food it wasn't worth it to me. Check was around $200. We spent max 40mins at the table. Drinks were good and the location is beautiful! read more

Stopped in directly after leaving the airport after HOURS of delays. I was hungry. Tired. A little smelly. But they stuck me on the patio so as not to offend anyone and all was well. The service was excellent. I think my server was Emily? She was so kind and attentive. The clam chowder was the highlight. I had the crab legs with sides. The only reason this place doesn't get a 5 is because the crab was mediocre. For it being in the name, I expected crab that would snap easily and would come out in chunks (when you know it's fresh and prepared well). I had to do a lot of digging and I wished they provided additional utensils other than just the cracker. I felt like I ended up throwing away precious meat. But, overall, would recommend! read more

My wife had the Baked oysters. They came out hot and looked inviting. However the oysters buried in the sauce were literally the size of a dime and some were smaller. I had the fish tacos and they came out hot and looked good also. They used larger flour tortillas than I'm used to that were packed almost to the top with shredded cabbage. The fish sitting on top was of average size but a bit dry. The waitress and service were good. The view of the beach and ocean from the deck was relaxing. The beer was cold. I however can't recommend the food. read more

The food was GOOD and the restaurant was bustling with lot of people still the hostess managed to be very welcoming... the wait was for 30-40 mins... the restaurant is right outside beach so we can spend time in beach until our turn... even though it was super crowded Rick managed to get our order and we ordered the Calamari Fry and coconut shrimp meal with coconut rice... the Calamari were the BEST... the shrimp was crispy and Fresh... Coconut Rice was AMAZING... they managed to bring our Order under 10 mins... Great place in Daytona Beach... read more

I was really impressed with the gorgeous view of the beach and ocean from inside the restaurant, because it is August and hot; no one wants to sweat while eating. The service was very friendly and attentive and the food was really quite good. My friend ordered a side salad and the Little Neck clams in a butter and wine broth, and she thoroughly enjoyed them both. I chose the grouper sandwich grilled minus the bun and it was absolutely divine. Their key like tartar sauce is really unique and super flavorful. My mother ordered the Imperial hog fish stuffed with crab meat, and she was very happy. I look forward to the next time we meet for lunch next summer. read more

I had the stuffed flounder and it was average at best. The fish was very tender; however there wasn't much crab cake in my fish and I was still hungry after my meal. Service was great even though it took a while for our food to come out. The ambiance was honestly the best part of the visit. They seated us outside with an ocean view and there was live music in the background. It was decently priced but I don't think I would go back. read more

Crabby's has been one of my favorites for years. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You cannot beat the view and food has always been very good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But I can see the quality of the food going down and the service is below par. They brought out the wrong order for my son - fish sandwich was ordered but received a burger. It took so long to get the proper order that we just had to cancel it. They graciously took it off the bill. Well I hope so since we never got it. And the waitress disappeared for a very long time. Crabby's is falling down on my dinner list which hurts them even more since I live in Daytona and not a tourist. Lastly, this place ain't cheap. Too many other good restaurants around. read more

If I could get their fire roasted crab every day, I definitely would. The restaurant's always lively and full. If you sit outdoors, you get a beautiful view and often times live music. Most of the time the the service is pretty quick. I feel like there's always a wait and they don't take reservations, but they do try and get you seated as quick as they can. read more

Arrived soon after they opened and everyone came together quickly, especially as the place is pretty popular filling up quickly around lunch, and served a beautiful fresh blackened grouper with good fresh veggies and some cheese grits. Also prepared a good to go bag for a later meal which was appetizers and key lime pie, all good! Very nice wait staff as well!! read more

This is my first time at Crabby's Oceanside. Really really glad I came across this place. I was looking for an oceanfront bar to have some drinks and have a great time. Glad I went with my instincts and stop at crabby's Oceanside. They have a beautiful outdoor patio to dine in and also an outdoor full bar with amazing views towards the ocean. If you're looking to have a great beer, I highly recommend their beach hippie IPA really really good. If this is your first time, it is a must that you try their crab trap bucket. It is a house mix with great tropical flavors and refreshing, but at the same time be careful cause it will do its job and get you drunk. I also try their fresh oysters, I really thought I wasn't gonna be able to finish a whole dozen, but I ended up eating them all. So fresh and tasty they were. I also want to give a great thank you to the bartender summer, which was super friendly a very attentive. read more

Came to the restaurant and happen to notice they have happy hour daily from 3-5pm. When walking up the shells outside the restaurant are oyster shells and I thought that was pretty cool. The staff were extremely friendly, accommodating, and funny. We were offered both indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor had the ocean view but we opted for indoor due to the heat. For drinks I ordered the crabby IPA egg was pretty tasty and my friend got a pineapple and vodka to match with happy hour. Not the best IPA but pretty light and tasty. Our food was tasty. Everything was so tasty and fresh. Even the side dishes fresh veggies and Mac and cheese was full of flavor. Someone at our table accidentally spilled their drink and everyone in the restaurant was super nice about it and made sure we were still enjoying our dining experience. Whenever I stop back into town I'll make sure this is high on my list! read more

First time here and it was pretty good. I got the Lobstah Roll (seasonal?) and was not disappointed, plenty of meat and by no means was it dry. My wife attempted to get something she had never had before, the grilled Grouper. She claims there really wasn't a taste. The waiter was understanding and was able to change it out for the Mahi mahi. Overall, good experience and we will probably be back to try some of the other items! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place needs a major cleaning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].....service great, food just ok. Much better places on the beach for sure.

Wife and I are hungry and wanted to Enjoy the Ocean view so we stopped by to eat at this Restaurant! Bree was our waitress! Music was great food is superb, Bree performance as a waitress was okay. She forgot to introduce her self, she forgot to bring us waters, she forgot to bring us napkins and condiments, she forgot to bring me tartar sauce for my fish and chips and I had to ask her to kindly bring me sauce for my fish. Beautiful Ocean view though! She informed me that it was on the table already and she apologized for not letting me know because it was hiding behind my drinks. Over All I would rate this place a 4 star! read more
