    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 The atmosphere is a bit outdated.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.

    Salty Papa (a boat builder) ran a strict program with specific instructions when he heard wind of…read morehis family was opening up a restaurant. 1. Serve only fresh, local and regional seafood from the U.S! 2. If it is shrimp, it will be Pink Gulf shrimp and none other! 3. No menu item will be made from pre-made or frozen products! 4. If the recipe is from the South it is good for the mouth! These aren't just rules; they are the words of a real individual who believed in a simple philosophy: "Give them the freshest food, prepared with care, and they will keep coming back. Above all, make every meal a celebration!" Salty Papa We are pleased to report that the family legacy is alive and well. The quality is unmistakable; when you refuse to compromise on standards, it shows in every dish. Walking in, you truly feel as though you've stepped onto a boat. The rustic nautical theme perfectly embodies Florida living, and located right before the Fort Myers Beach bridge, it's the perfect dinner destination after a day on the water. Upon walking in, you truly feel like you've stepped into his personal Shrimp House. The ambiance makes you feel as if you are right aboard the boat, with a rustic nautical theme that perfectly embodies Florida living. Located right before the Fort mYERS beach bridge would make a excellent stop after a day at the beach. "The drink menu offered just as much variety as the kitchen. We started with the Dirty Arnold Palmer--crisp, refreshing, and done exactly right. Next was the Gator Bayou Water, which was greener than duckweed! (If you don't know what duckweed is, join the club; we had to look it up ourselves to verify the drink perfectly matched that vibrant, green aquatic hue.) To round out the assortment, we enjoyed a classic Mango Margarita and the Blue Mermaid, which tasted like a refreshing, iced blue piña colada. Whether you're looking for a classic or something adventurous, they have a signature sip for every mood. From their Peel & Eat Shrimp with an assortment of signature flavors (We got the Keylime sunset butter!!) to the standout Papa's Famous Charleston Shrimp & Grits, the variety is endless. Whether you want it fried, grilled, blackened, covered, or wrapped, they have mastered every possible variation. To start we enjoyed crispy, crunchy, pillowy hushpuppies that immediately took a dive into the housemade remoulade. For the entree the coconut crusted chicken with their pinacolada sauce, it was an elevated chicken strip with a tropical touch. As well as their hickory bacon wrapped shrimped basted with their bbq brushed with care But the hospitality doesn't stop there--there is truly something for everyone. They even offer a 'doggie menu' for those enjoying the patio, making it a genuinely family-friendly destination. In Southwest Florida, it's rare to find a spot that balances high-quality seafood with such a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere. Thank you to our amazing servers Stacy D & Pedro! We will be back!

    Over an ok experience allow me to do a deep dive on why such a bad review. I went to the…read moreestablishment for a late lunch w/ mom she ordered fried oysters no problem I ordered fresh 1/2 dozen no problem. I also ordered hog fish * a Fl delicacy described as follows: Considered superior in taste and texture, often marketed as the "filet mignon of the sea". Well folks I was served tilapia and charged $28 for a $7 dollar dish. I hope the owner is reading this because you know it's dead wrong. I questioned the waitress Staci because I know this was bogus. Not her fault she does not run the kitchen. I did tell her I planned on reviewing the experience...... after 2 bites I took the food to go so I could prove that they knowingly price gouge customers. I was shocked to learn that misrepresenting fish in FL is considered a food violation and a finable offense....now i have evidence so let's see where this goes. Anyway guys when you go to Salty Papa order chicken wings and cheap drinks others they will try to scam you. See pics of tilapia vs their hogfish *same cheap fish. Also adding pics of real delicacy. This place is a fraud. Owner left a very aggressive response. Not sure why when you got your $28 and I left my phone number. No need to be Sassy if you are really customer satisfaction tag you're it. Enjoy your weekend!
