    Seafood boil, No Head Shrimp Snow Crab Legs, black mussels

    This is my second time coming here and I love it! The food is always delicious and the drinks are really good too. I usually get the weekend special seafood boil with the house sauce. It does get pretty packed on the weekends so plan ahead and be ready to wait. Also, the parking is limited.

    Juicy !!

    Another great visit this place provides so much value for the money. We have tried most everything and we settle on the three best every time. Shrimp no heads, scallops, and the sausage juicy medium.

    The food is decent. The atmosphere is a bit outdated. The staff are fantastic and so was our service. I had the blue crab and shrimp. The blue crab was not very good. The shrimp were excellent. The crab cakes are more filler than crab.

    Ive been to this location quite a few times and have had nothing but great experiences. We are always sat quickly when when they are busy. The staff does a decent job of staying on top of the orders and needs. Restaurant is pretty big with ample seating for big or small parties. Food is brought out pretty quick. I've never waited longer than 10 min for our sea food boil. I normally go with tan order of onion rings to start it off and the weekend special which brings headless shrimp, crab legs and lobster tail. I've tried all the sauces together but i prefer the go with the mild garlic butter & lemon pepper mix.

    The place is nice and clean. We go here about once a month. Sometimes we just order take out as the food is always delicious but the serve most definitely needs help.

    I went out for lunch with my fiancé at J&C Crab Seafood Restaurant. We were greeted with smiles and were seated right away. We ordered waters to start and when we received them both of our cups were cracked and server took them back and got us different ones, and then the cups of water that our server brought to us instead were also cracked but in different spots. We then again got different cups of water brought to our table, which didn't have cracks in them. Our server was very nice despite their dishware issues. We ordered to share: Steamed garlic oysters, Fried hush puppies, Fried oysters, and Fried shrimp. Everything was freshly fried and tasted delicious. Overall, the atmosphere was nice and our friendly and fun server made our visit decent.

    Last night was our 4th time at this place. Restaurant was busy. We waited for 40 mins for a table for 3. Understandably, it's Father's Day weekend. Service was very quick as always. We ordered the weekend special which is 1/2 lb lobster, 1/2 lb shrimps and 1/2 lb snow crabs. We also ordered 1/2 blue crab and 1/2 head on shrimps. All cooked with their all of the above juices and DELICIOUS!!!! Unfortunately this time around, the lobster was overcooked. I am hoping this was an off day since our experience prior has been amazing.

    We have been to this location numerous times and it's always been very good. Tonight we went for my granddaughters birthday and it was all around horrible. The waitress did not come to our table for 30 minutes. Then another 15 minutes before she took our order. We ordered the same thing we get every time which is the shrimp and snow crab garlic butter medium and it had so much seasoning it was coated red. It was so spicy you couldn't even eat it. The waitress was MIA forever and when my daughter went to the restroom she found her sitting on the floor in the back texting. To make matters worse...we were automatically charged gratuity and we were a party of 4 adults, 2 kids under five and a baby. This was absolutely disgusting service all the way around. Spoke with the manager and he could care less.

    Went here for an early dinner with the wife and girls (2). Food was good, and it came out pretty fast. I had the Weekend Special. Lobster tail, 1 snow crab cluster, and a 1/2 lb of shrimp. Cost was reasonable. I got it extra hot (spicy). Not bad. It wasn't crowded. Probably be back.

    The restaurant has a large outdoor seating area, a spacious rectangular bar, and a big dining room…read morewith a lively yet relaxed vibe. We opted to sit at the bar and ordered a mix of plates to share: Ceviche shooters -- refreshing and full of flavor. Hot honey chicken sandwich -- sweet, spicy, and perfectly crispy. Grouper tacos -- light, fresh, and delicious. The food was excellent across the board, but the service was truly outstanding -- warm, attentive, and welcoming

    First of all our service was fantastic. Ashley our server was fast and friendly, very knowledgeable…read moreabout the menu and offered great suggestions. The restaurant itself has a nice feel, and I always love being able to see the kitchen. I would say the only downside was some of the food. We ordered a cornbread appetizer, which was delicious, almost more of a cake than cornbread but really tasty. I ordered the lobster bisque, it was extremely small, had exactly 3 pieces of lobster and tasted only of salt. I was really disappointed. My husband ordered a steak sandwich and I wish I had taken a picture of it, it immediately was disappointing. It looked like an empty bun on a plate with a tin cup of sweet potato fries. Very stingy portions, it looked very plain. It was definitely a different take on a steak sandwich, instead of nice cut up slices, it was minced, so the usual nice chew of steak was replaced with a bite of mushy almost ground beef consistency. He said the flavor was ok but he definitely wouldn't get it again. Overall, while a nice atmosphere, we found the food to be underwhelming and the portions to be small. Maybe just a place to go for an appetizer and a drink.

    Great spot in Fort Myers for family dinner!…read more Our server Austin was great and the ambiance was nice, live music on Saturday night is always a vibe. I tried the shrimp scampi and Tuna Tutaki off the summer deal menu Tuna Tutaki is the same size as if you ordered it off the regular menu, same as the scampi huge portion. We also ordered the Grouper Oscar which was delicious if we're being picky it could of had more sauce. The only thing I wasn't impressed with was their skinny margarita and that's just based off my flavor preference. For dessert The Tower Carrot Cake is equivalent to 3 or 4 big slices, definitely shareable. The Famous Key Lime pie was also amazing but not shareable, it's smaller and so good you'll want it all to yourself! Cheers!

    It was food, decent, nothing special…read more Came with my family on Valentine's Day with a reservation. They were backed so we still had to wait for a table but it was a holiday so I don't really hold that against them, just noting. Do note that most parking is valet (complimentary). My husband and I split oysters and the Captains Platter. Captains Platter was tasty but for $40+ - I think they could've given a larger portion of at least the veggie sides. Restaurants who skimp on these always blow my mind, Brussels sprouts are so cheap! What we did have was just ok. Sprouts were soggy and bitter, only a few scallops, but the fish was good. I actually liked the plantains a lot! Our server was fabulous and we did need some help from one of the managers who was also great. It is quite a loud restaurant but again it was packed. Overall, I just wasn't excited about anything we had, and thought the prices were high for the quality. With all the seafood in this area, it would be hard to return here.

We ordered tuna crudo, goat cheese stuffed crepes and wagyu burger - all were delicious and beautifully plated! We also tried their banana and pecan strudel for dessert - yum! Next time, I'm definitely trying their goat cheese cheesecake though! Service was extremely attentive and informative. We learned a bit more about the chef and the story of this restaurant and even got meet Chief, the friendliest most adorable dog guarding the restaurant - just kidding, he was just hanging out there. Highly recommend it if you're open to trying new flavors and interesting food combinations. Cocktails are fun too. Mixing bold flavors and a generous pour.
