Good place to grab some yummy seafood in Fort Myers. My friend lives in Punta Gorda, and last year when I visited, she took me here. After that visit, we decided it would be a must for my yearly visits. The restaurant is in a shopping center/strip mall with a variety of other restaurants and shops. The parking lot is shared with the other businesses, so even if you don't find a spot right in front, there's still plenty of parking available. I've been there during lunch on a weekday as well as during the weekend. When we went on the weekend, it was busier, but we were still seated quickly. They have a great system and move with ease. There's a variety of appetizers, pre-selected seafood boils, fried seafood options, and a build-your-own boil option. For all of the boils, you also have options for seasonings as well as spice level. We always choose the Juicy Special for seasonings, which is all of the options combined, and Medium spice level. I like spice, but not so much that I can't taste my food, so it's perfect! All of the boils also come with potato and corn. My only complaint was that on my last visit there were only 2 small potatoes, but it didn't ruin the experience; I just would've liked a little more potatoes. I'll be back when I visit my friend next year! read more

Worst restaurant i have ever been to, If it can even be called that we asked for two lemonades and the waiter never brought them, And at the end of the bill they still wanted to charge for the lemonade, Im not sure where or how the caught the calamari or cut them but it is NOT calamari, Even the image they show on the menu looks more like calamari than the calamari, The food was also either microwaved or fast food styled it was not at all fresh. Overall a pretty horrible experience and would not recommend ever. This was my first and last time ever visiting. read more

This place is my favorite seafood spot of all time! It's packed everyday of the week. The food itself is absolutely delicious everyday time. You want food, Lord they will fill you up. The crab is delicious, cooked on point every time, the seasoning is perfect, and the medium heat is solid. For those who enjoy their southern and more than just table salt, this place is delicious. read more

This was a good experience. Clean place, pretty good service but the food was great, and just enough. Very fair price.

I am not sure where people are getting these low reviews, but that is nonsense! This place was incredible! I came to visit from out of town and me and my friend decided to go there despite the bad reviews. It was fantastic! The service was fast, our server was friendly, and the food was outstanding! We got shrimp, sausage and crab leg boils, and it very well may have been the best one I've ever had! We got the sauces all combined at medium spice level and we are both leaving happy as I type! I would definitely come here again! read more

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. read more

J&C Crab - Moms new hairdo. - Seafood Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

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. read more

J&C Crab - Seafood Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

My father and I have been to J&C Crab a few times. We ordered 2 Weekend Specials, which consists of 1 Lobster Tail, 1/2 snow crab, Shrimp,potatoes and a 1/2 ear of corn for $37.99. We were very disappointed with the size of all of the seafood, everything was small enough for bait. The weekend special should be Grade "A" quality for such a price. Far as the service our server was very thorough. And the Ambiance was very quiet and it was about 4:00pm in the afternoon. It was a few people there. Please improve on the size of the snow crab because we could barely see it on your platter. read more

BEST SEAFOOD IVE HAD!! Will be returning!! I Recommend to everyone!! Super flavorful and big portions!

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. read more

J&C Crab - Seafood boil - Seafood Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

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. read more

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. read more

Ok so when you order create your own be ready to get taking the 1/2 of crawfish was 5 small crawfish and a potato and a sm piece of corn the blue crab was also one small size crab and I was told it half of pound so. The taste of the butter garlic flavor was good but on the amount it very disappointing and the price was not on the cheaper side read more

Ordered take out and was disappointed. The shrimp was overcooked as well as the corn. Also ordered an additional side of three corn and was given potatoes instead. The gentleman at the pick up counter wasn't the friendliest. read more

Food is good, not amazing but It fulfills the crave.. Their service is ok over the phone, I've only done pick up orders, they always seem rushed. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Delicious! We came to the plaza because there are a bunch of Tesla chargers here. What a treat to find this fantastic seafood restaurant just steps away! Seasoned and cooked to perfection! It will be a regular stop for us read more

My wife and I shared the weekend special boil. Very disappointed with the lobster tail it was balled up about the size of a golf ball...no meat to speak of... Crab legs were very skimpy as well. The shrimp was good, glad I got extra corn & red potatoes. The spice was great. Too messy and felt overpriced for what had. We ate at the bar, bar tender was great! Not likely to return. read more

Excellent portions for the price. Food is tasty and service is great. We have been here a few times and will return.

J&C is my spot!! I've been coming here pretty much every month for the past 2 years consistently. I keep coming back because the food is always great. I am a huge fan of this style of seafood and this place does it the best in Fort Myers for sure. The sauce is always delicious and a good consistency (not too oily, or watery) the seafood is always tasty, sized nicely, and well priced! read more

Crawfish were worst I've had! They were rubbery like bubble gum. But they are pretty! Lol! Order a lb and see if you like them as it's worth it to test them. Warning on menu "no refunds" should have been first clue. Seasoning was good. Potatoes and corn were good. Crab cakes were too bready and way over cooked. Service was good. Facilities were clean. read more

this was our second time going to J&C Crab and we enjoyed it so much. as soon we walked in we were greeted and seated right away. our waitress was *Celia* and she was very attentive and helpful with all the questions we asked. the food came out about 10 minutes after ordering and everything was fresh and piping hot! we will definitely be returning to J&C Crab soon. * also ask for *Celia* or *Calvin*, both are wonderful waiters! read more

Great food and service. Seafood is fresh. We always get the shrimp, scallops, and sausage. Recommend ordering the "juicy" seasoning. Ambiance is casual. read more

First time. It turned out they have great food ( large portions) at a very good price. Service was great! highly recommended!

Let's just say if "big mama" isn't in the kitchen, it's not going to be right. Its only ok. Definitely not southern seafood broil. It's missing seasoning. read more

Love me some juice crab! We always get great service & good food. If you really love seafood, the steamed bag dinners are a win!

The food is amazing and always gets to your table quickly. They have amazing service even when they're busy.

We had Annie12 as our server. For some reason when we tipped her she was expecting more. We are students the bill was already high. She was lucky we even tipped at all. We put down an amount and she circled the gratitude expecting us to put that amount and she even waited. I looked directly at her and even asked "are you asking for more?!" She then just laughed and walked away. never again will i have that server or service. read more

Used to love coming to this place with my girlfriend and getting a good crawfish boil, but recently left with a sour taste in my mouth. Per usual we came in for dinner and ordered crab cakes and a crawfish boil, crab cakes were great and then the crawfish came out looking a bit off. It was very dark and when I opened the first tail the meat was shriveled up and gray. As someone who was born and raised in Louisiana/East Texas, I can tell when crawfish isn't cooked correctly. Understanding that it was a simple mistake we waited for our waiter to come back to the table and politely let him know we thought the crawfish was inedible. He totally understood and said he was going to get his manager; this is where the trouble started. The guy already seemed in a bad mood and when we told him what was wrong and showed him the crawfish he simply told us we were wrong. We didn't argue with him but we requested another batch and said we wanted to send back the one that he gave us to which he replied and made very clear that we won't get a refund. This was disappointing considering they gave us 3lbs of inedible crawfish but we said we'll take the hit because we just really wanted some food. He takes are crawfish back and a few minutes goes by before the manager comes back to notify us that they ran out of crawfish 2 hours before the restaurant closed. We understood and just said we'll take our check and leave. This is where it gets interesting, our server comes back and says, "Hey guys sorry the manager didn't want to make another batch, is there anything else I can get you?" After finding out the manager just blatantly lied we let the server know what his manager told us and he left to go get him. The lovely manager returns and explains that they are short on crawfish (doubling down on his lie) and then proceeds to tell us that they don't have as much this time of year because they are out of season! For those who don't know crawfish are in peak season during the spring time (March-May) and this was in the middle of March. If this place has managers that blatantly lie to there customers I can't imagine what other things they lie about here! I would highly recommend going this restaurant if you would like 75% chance at getting some decent crawfish and want to be treated as if you were an idiot by the staff. read more

I did not like the experience of this place. I thought it was a sit down place but basically we got a server with no personality and no willingness to explain the menu take our order. Then they bring a bucket with your food in it and never come back. Kind of like a bad Joe's Crab Shack. It wasn't cheap, the food wasn't hot and the service was not great. I had to flag someone else down to pay because our server was MIA. This was not a place I would go back to with all the good seafood places in Ft Myers. read more

It deserves "one star" review overall!! Bad food and bad service to match! The waiter splashed us while transferring food from the bag to the plate, and no apology whatsoever? Very salty food! It makes you think, how fresh it is? Was it re-processed?! Do yourself a favor, respect yourself- go elsewhere. :) read more
