    Blackened mahi sandwich with mashed potatoes
    Nate K.

    I stopped in for lunch, the hostess was very friendly. She took me to my table and was very friendly and genuine, asked about my travel plans etc. Great start. My server never came so another server stepped up to the plate and took my order. He was very attentive so I left him a good tip. I ordered the blackened mahi sandwich. I was actually going to order (splurge) on the Mahi Fresca but the sides were a letdown so I stuck with the sandwich. The mahi was PERFECT. Very fresh, no fishy taste at all. The mahi was definitely the star of the experience. The sides I was going to order were mashed potatoes and mac & cheese. Neither were made in house when I asked. The mashed potatoes were really an after thought in both quality and portion. My sandwich also had raw onion when the menu mentioned sauteed onion. It was also missing the melted cheese the menu mentioned. Major mistakes on the food.

    Grilled grouper

    Crabby's is the reincarnation of what was Gators. Which, by the way, was one of my favorites until Covid shut them down. So, to say the least, I was very excited to try this iteration. Much of the old Gators vibe is still there. Most of what is served is similar. Since I was a fan of the grouper, it's what I got. But I will add they did have a hogfish meal, but according to our server at the time, she said it wasn't offered as a sandwich. I later saw a hogfish sandwich on another menu. I ordered a rum runner as my beverage. And it was made very well. When the food arrived, I was impressed with the sized of the sandwich, and you got a nice helping of crispy yet tender fries. Overall, I was satisfied with the meal. The service was good besides the one oops with the hogfish. Out the door for 2 meals and 2 cocktails was about $60.00 with the tip. I forgot to mention. The gift shop that was at Gators is gone. Basically it's an ice cream shop now. But Crabby's does offer T's and such. I'll go back next time for their hogfish.

    Seafood boil

    First time coming and it was DEFINITELY WORTH IT! Had like a Joe's Crab Shack feel, very welcoming. Our waitress way Kaylee B. She was amazing and super sweet. We came to Crabby's on Mother's Day and coincidentally it was Kaylee's birthday SO of course we sang her happy birthday and I hope that made her day. So good. The food was amazing of course! We got conch fritters I believe for appetizer and main meals were grouper nuggets which we heard were their uh well highly recommended items along with their scallops which our friend got. My mother got the hogfish ALSO highly recommended and I got the seafood boil. With the boil I got both Cajun and garlic sauce but... could taste Cajun at all. You can see the sauce turned white... weird. A lot of crab which is good just different. A lot of shrimp is normal haha and the scallops are huge haha On our way out I also picked up one of their "save the chubby mermaids" shirt haha Super glad we picked Crabby's!

    Short rib tacos

    My husband and I came here on a Thursday night just after sunset. We sat outside with the water view. It was a lovely cool evening in February. We were greeted by Kier who took good care of us that evening. We ordered the crab & spinach dip to start. It's was cheesy and good. I ordered short rib nachos with fries. The tacos were tasty and the fries were delicious with a nice seasoning. My husband's tuna steak was ordered blackened with garlic mash & broccoli. The tuna steak was seared just right with nice red center. He was very impressed with the tuna steak preparation. Garlic mash was subtle on the garlic side and the broccoli was just good old broccoli. Overall, great casual dining experience and really good food for a decent price.

    We loved it so much, we came back a second night! Great sunset view right on John's Pass, Treasure Island. Plenty of dolphins playing too! Our server the first night was Brooke... give her a raise! She's the best server that I've had in a really long time. Too bad she wasn't there on our return visit. Sweet, kind, generous, hospitable, helpful, fun, joyful. She was truly happy to be at work and you could tell. 1848 Hurricane. This is now my favorite Hurricane. Named after the Hurricane that created John's Pass. Even served with environmentally friendly straws... love it! Crab Cake app... ya'll get this! More Crab, less cake... Loved it! I'm picky about my crabcakes as they usually have too much stuffing, dry mix, whatever it is. Man, this one rocks! Key West Combo... plenty to share for two. Grilled Mahi, two skewers of grilled shrimp, and the two side we chose were cheesy grits (great for the shrimp!), rice & beans. The second night we added the Carribean street corn and that was really good too. Sauces: Pepper Jam came with Crab Cake... ... but try the other sauces too! (Thanks Brooke!) Pina Colada with Pineapple is probably my favorite. Lemon Aioli garlic sauce is so yummy too, second favorite. Mango Creamy Cilantro Tangy Baja ...and I'm sure there are more... just ask! So when meal is done... head over to the gift shop with your receipt. You'll get a discount on ice cream and T-shirts! ... I got one of each!!!

    Crab Cake

    We wanted to like this place so much. The staff was super friendly, we got great seating, the ambience was lively but the biggest factor was the food for us. The food we thought lacked something, it was just fine. There was nothing that jumped out at us as being amazing. The hogfish sandwich was the best item, our shrimp scampi pasta was ok. I ordered the shrimp ceviche app and it lacked the limey flavor that ceviche normally has. This was very much a bar experience type restaurant, the drinks were great, but we wish the food had more flavor. Maybe we had an off day or expected more, would try again.

    Mahi Fresca
    Carlie R.

    Crappy's has a nice atmosphere, especially with the outdoor seating and live music. Our server was great, and the Crab Sip appetizer was delicious. However, the drinks were overly sugary and syrupy. Unfortunately, the entrees were disappointing--my mahi and my boyfriend's shrimp and calamari were not good, especially for the $100 price tag. We left hungry and felt it wasn't worth the cost.

    This was a great place for Seafood. Most places are kind of meh? This was tasty and juicy. Service was quick and she was very knowledgeable about the menu. Sitting outside was nice. A lot of fans blowing and NO smell of fish. Good meal at a good price!

    Chips & Chorizo
    Trish M.

    Nick and I stopped here for dinner before a night on the town. We ate outside. It was very nice. The server was very helpful and friendly. We had a Yelp check in coupon for a free appetizer, so that's why we tried the chorizo and chips. We ordered a side of salsa to go with it, just to break up some of the richness of the cheese and chorizo. Overall, it was very good and I would get it again.

    Rum runner
    Liz K.

    Great atmosphere and easy walk from Madeira Beach. If you want a true laid-back experience of being on the water you need to stop here. I admit that there are other places across the water in Johns Pass that I haven't gone to yet. That's because this location is big and welcoming. The wait staff is always accommodating too. The drinks could use another shot and the food is okay. Nothing spectacular. I had a fried grouper sandwich which was good. I did have the mango salsa on the side which was just ok. My daughter had the crab boil which could've used some garlic in the butter. However the portion was large and more than ample. It's always a treat to see the birds and dolphins swim by. If nothing more go for an appetizer and sit by the water.

    Thanks Val R. The service here is amazing. We got a table outside on the water. Absolutely beautiful views under an umbrella. The drinks were delicious. We got the Rum Runner bucket for - $14 each. Just the right amount of alcohol. Not enough to put you under the table but enough to justify the $14 spent. The Shrimp and Grits with Sausage ($19.99) was delicious. A little bit of spice with a salty sausage perfectly blends well with the shrimp. I highly recommend. Husband got the Shrimp Pasta ($19.99) and it was equally flavorful. Lots of food that hit the spot. If you're in the area we cannot express enough how wonderful Crabbys on the Pass is. And ask for Val R. She's the best.

    Beef Benny
    Michelle M.

    Val R. Took exceptional care of us for brunch. We had great seats on the water. Her service will make me a repeat customer. I enjoyed the beef Benny and my friend enjoyed the crabcake Benny. We had a side of the smoked Gouda cheese, grits, and the sausage gravy. They were both excellent.

    From the east coast of Florida, here celebrating a birthday .... We tried this Awesome place as the reviews were great and I love seafood! Started out with the Fried Pickle Chips and... OMG .... we're Just made, sizzling hot and fresh! Absolutely Delicious! Next, our meals (drooling) the Crab and Shrimp Boil and the NY Strip and Scallop Surf and Turf was all so AMAZING! If we're to come back, would come just for this place! Great atmosphere, fabulous service and FRESH!

Just a heads-up: they use a nacho cheese sauce rather than shredded cheese, which some people may prefer to know ahead of time. Our friend from Massachusetts ordered the lobster sub (also market price) and said it was worth every penny. My husband and I split the grouper nuggets and the Philly cheesesteak. The bread is brought in from up north, and our server's recommendation did not disappoint. The sandwich was rich, flavorful, and one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the onion rings. They use a beer batter, which wasn't our favorite, but that's more of a personal preference than a criticism. Overall, we'd definitely return if we're in the area again. The only downside was parking--$29.99 for two hours is pretty brutal. Thankfully, the food and atmosphere helped make up for it.

Snappers was packed at 6:30pm on a Tuesday night. However, as it was late July, we were able to get a table outside right away.

We started with the crab stuffed portobello (probably the weakest part of the meal) and delicious coconut shrimp. After that, our entrees came with salads, which were also great (tortilla chips and a zesty dressing made it more fun than your usual house salad, but it didn't feel too decadent). I got the snapper, which was served over coconut rice and with a delicious curry sauce and mango chutney. The curry reminded me more of thinner Japanese curry versus Indian or Thai, which I loved. The snapper itself was a nicely-sized piece and was cooked/seasoned perfectly with a hint of spice. The coconut sticky rice was so addictive!! The sweetness of the mango chutney just made each bite a wonderful flavor explosion. I would 100% recommend this dish. My husband got the coconut cashew crusted mahi, which was also excellent (and another huge portion of fish). It seems like you can't go wrong here with a fish dish!

The mojito, well we've had better mojitos almost everywhere. They make it with a spiced rum that is sweet. We learned that the list of rums is limited to a light Barcardi and a few spiced saccharine selections. Reading the vodka list shows a grouping of choices in the same vain. We often came in groups, first and foremost for the delicious well made drinks, and interesting appetizers -- enhanced by the great atmosphere. As our snowbird friends arrive we will try again, to see if the quality of the cocktails has improved.

    So nice we had to visit TWICE…read more The coconut crusted mahi mahi was a highlight. It was soft and fully coated with obviously real coconut - not sugared or overly sweet. It was a huge fillet, which makes up for having some smaller sides. I'll let you in on a little secret, I only eat fish when it's locally caught and fresh and this was worth it 100%. The house salad with Pima colada dressing has me imagining how to make this dressing at home. Sweet and creamy and easily coating every leaf. The bread at the start of the meal for a disproportionate amount of attention from my family. It was served hot, with garlic and maybe other seasonings across the top, and generous sides of butter. Our initial server, Kyle, kept the bread flowing for us until the meal came and it was fantastic. We gave the potato skins a try, and they were delicious! My family ironically isn't huge conch / shelled fish eaters so the rest of the appetizers didn't suit us much and this was a lil Midwest taste while on vacation. We returned to try the jalapeño crusted grouper and were again very satisfied. Totally different than the coconut mahi, it's savory and well flavored but leaves you far from begging for water. The fish is thick and flaky and the sauce was similar to a bang bang sauce to pair it all together. The favorite sides were loaded baked potato and garlic smashed potatoes!

We also tried the Shrimp-N-Grits ($27.97), which was a unique combination of Argentine red shrimp, creamy cheese grits, sausage, tomatoes, scallions, and other ingredients. It was flavorful and different from anything we've had before. The Jambalaya ($21.93) was just okay. It had plenty of ingredients, but it was a little too salty for my taste. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant also has a full bar and, I believe, live music in the evenings, making it a great place to relax. We'll definitely come back the next time we're in St. Pete Beach.
