    Corn, Sausage, Shrimp + potato
    Heaven T.

    I am SO loyal to Krispy Krab. Since I moved back here after school, this is the only place I will go to get seafood trays. There's a lot of crab places in St. Pete, but the others don't compare. Krispy Krab by far has the best garlic sauce/crab juice flavor. I'm not a person who's huge on spice, but there's just enough kick in their mild sauce that makes it perfect. Not too much, not too little. They have the option to get your order spicy as well. Now it's not any kind of fancy establishment. Expect your typical crab shack setup, but it is pretty quaint in there. If you're there at a busier time, like the weekend, and there's a line, you will be standing outside. I have gone around 5/6pm on weekdays and haven't had to wait long. Prices and portions are reasonable. Rarely do I ever actually get crabs (I typically get what's pictured), but when I do, those are great too.

    This is the #1 with garlic blue crabs, potatoes, shrimp, corn and sausage.

    I'm from Georgia and love to get seafood while on vacay. Stopped at the Krispy Krab to get their infamous blue crabs. The place is small so as soon as you enter you're at the counter to order. There were many people inside so it was kinda hot, there is no organized ordering process so we asked one another if they had placed their order to make sure we weren't jumping the line. Placed my order for a #1, paid and sat in my car until I thought it was ready, wasn't told a specific time. Food- if you like spicy garlicky this is for you, it wasn't bad but I prefer garlicky, buttery and lemony. There was a lot to eat and I was able to share with my husband. Again, it wasn't bad so I'm pondering a revisit.

    Spicy shrimp with potatoes, Boiled peanuts, corn bites and crab cakes (lemonade to wash it all down not posted:)

    So delicious!!! Everything was fresh, hot, and fast. Regular customers were friendly and helped me with suggestions of their favorites since it was my first time. The woman that took my order, possibly the owner was sweet and took care in her food. Hidden local gem. 100 percent will be back.

    I love a good hole-in-the-wall restaurant and I was super excited to try this place as I usually am pretty loyal to Crafty Crab. Unfortunately won't be coming back. The quality of the crab and shrimp was so poor I didn't have much desire to finish it all. The sauce is okay -- it's extremely acidic with lack of salt to balance it out. Prices were cheap which drew us there, but was very eh overall.

    Crab cakes and hush puppies
    Laura W.

    The owner (?) is super friendly and kind. I just really wish the food was better. The sauce on the seafood and broccoli is just SO SO salty and the spices in it just were kind of strange together. The crab cakes and hush puppies were okay but I would not order them again.

    What a shame, I enjoyed the food but despite asking the owner it was too spicy for my wife and the potatoes where really hot. I couldn't eat them. The owner said "not spicy" I wish they could hold the spice and just give garlic butter. There is another popular place seafood place that will just give garlic butter. Best we stick to them.

    Hands down best plate of seafood I've eaten since we've moved to Florida. Came here based off some yelp reviews... I was getting my nails done in St Pete and thought I would stop. It's a hidden gem!!! I ordered the #17, which was supposed to have sausage, a crab cluster, and potatoes. I got multiple clusters, shrimp, and potatoes but I'm not even mad the order was incorrect. It. Is. So. Good!!! The sauce is super spicy, but I didn't even care. The man behind the counter could tell I was new. He was so friendly, showed me my plate before bagging it up and made small talk about the town we're living in. Sent a pic of my plate to my boyfriend and he was super jealous!!!!! Definitely will be coming back!

    Came here on recommendation from a client and was not disappointed!! Perfect casual spot!…read more Some street parking available, although I'm sure it's competitive on busy nights! Completely outdoor space with bar, small tables, and high tops for small to medium groups! Casual, beachy vibe, with umbrellas and tastefully modern beach decor. Bartender was incredibly friendly, offered wonderful recommendations, and remembered my name throughout my stay! Counter service food, separate from the bar. Fun seafood apps and an intentional mains menu make this a great spot for a light dinner or apps and drinks! I had the daily catch, which was amberjack, citrus rub, with slaw and taters. It was a lovely meal with flaky fish, tangy slaw, and decadent potatoes! Good value for the cost! Had the Gone Fishing to drink, which came served in a themed bobber glass. Rum-forward without being too boozy, balanced with sweetness and nuance from the tea. Surprisingly elevated for a beach bar vibe! Would absolutely recommend! Top it all off with some chill live music and you have the perfect evening for this guy! :)

The prices were awesome: $1 oysters, $5 hush puppies, $5 tacos, $10 cocktails. Everyday from 4-6pm. At that price point you really can't go wrong! For us the oysters were the star of the show... were they the best looking oysters I've ever had? No. Were they amazing for a dollar each? Absolutely yes! The hush puppies were really good as well... not dry at all, perfectly done, and the dipping sauce alongside them was spot on. The tacos were a solid addition to the spread: good flavors, nothing that blew us away, but a nice way to round things out. The shrimp taco was the winner between the two, we'd probably skip the chicken next time. The chorizo creamed corn was a pleasant surprise as well, and I'm not even a big corn person! The outdoor patio has a really cute vibe too... we were there on a cloudy day and it was still charming. Would love to come back on a sunny afternoon and make a proper happy hour afternoon of it. The oysters alone are enough to bring us back. Trophy Fish has officially earned a spot in the regular rotation.

What we got: *Mango Meltdown - A frozen drink of mango and strawberry flavors, so refreshing on a warm day at a waterfront restaurant! *Category 5 Crab Tots - neither of us really eat tater tots, but this menu item sounded too good to pass up. I'm glad we went with it because it was hearty and flavorful with all the tots, cheese, and lots of crab! *Crab Cakes - really good crab cakes, with plenty of crab. *Twisted Cauliflower - our server warned us these would be spicy, but we were okay with that. They definitely had a kick from thai sauce and hot honey, but nothing that made it uncomfortable to eat, the right amount of spice. We had ours grilled, and enjoyed every bite.

    If you're looking for fresh seafood with beautiful waterfront views, Buoys Waterfront Bar & Grill…read moreis absolutely worth a visit! My family and I had such a great experience, and I'd easily give it a 9/10 for the food, service, and ambiance. Even though it was a rainy day and only indoor seating was available, it didn't take away from the experience at all. The restaurant has windows throughout, so no matter where you're seated, you still get gorgeous views of the water. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. You can tell they genuinely care about making sure guests have a great experience. Another thing I appreciated was that the food is made fresh to order, and the seafood tasted exceptionally fresh. We started with the Kung Pao Calamari, and wow...I honestly could've eaten the entire plate myself! It was packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and easily one of the best appetizers I've had in a while. For my entrée, I ordered the Maine Lobster Roll, and it was outstanding--fresh, buttery, and loaded with lobster. I paired it with the plantain mashed potatoes, which completely surprised me. I wasn't sure what to expect, but they were absolutely delicious and something I'd order again without hesitation. My refreshing Peach Margarita was the perfect complement to the meal. Around the table, the Fish & Chips and the Grouper BLT were both big hits. The only small critique is that the hush puppies were a little overdone. Aside from that, everything was flavorful and thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, Buoys delivered an excellent dining experience with fresh food, warm hospitality, and beautiful waterfront views. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in St. Pete!

Perhaps we tried the wrong things, but we were hungry (which usually increases the appreciation for the food), and our choices ranged from not good to good. The dip appetizer- Not good. It was the crab dip with seasoned cheez-it shaped crackers. The crab did not have good flavor and the crackers were over salted. Wasn't a good balance for my taste buds. Didn't eat most of it. The oysters appetizer- Good. They were fresh which is ALWAYS appreciated. I didnt like that the shells weren't rinsed, which led to alot of shell in my slurps and the actual oyster sizes ranged from normal to small. One was almost tiny. My main meal- Good. I had the special...a Blackened Hogfish stuffed with crab and scallops. The fish on it's own was ok, but the bites with the stuffing as the whole were good. The rice and beans along with it were cooked perfectly. My friend had the Blackened Grouper and enjoyed it thoroughly. Desserts- Very Good- 50/50. The Coconut Cheesecake was absolutely DELICIOUS, definitely homemade. The Chocolate Cheesecake was just ok, but killed the sweet treat itch. Ambiance- Tranquil. If you're looking for beautiful scenery while eating pretty good food out on the patio area, this is it. The main dining area upstairs was a typical old seafood diner type vibe. The bathrooms are also located upstairs. Service was informative and attentive. It wasn't the best seafood I've had, but I'd definitely come back for the view. Pricing was fair. Check them out!
