    Crab and shrimp combo. Added sausage and egg.

    The food was amazing. Super fresh seafood and well seasoned. I believe our server was the owner and she was awesome. Would definitely come back!

    Crab Stop II is located in an old IHOP in Daytona. Not much to look at on the outside, or the inside for that matter. Still though, there are good things going on in the kitchen. The portions here are decent for the prices and the seafood is fresh. We had a blue crab boil on this visit. About 16 blue crabs, corn and potatoes in a garlic sauce for about $50. We also had a fried catfish sandwich which was impeccable. The food was awesome. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the service was average and the venue itself was a little run down. If you want fantastic and fresh seafood with good portions at reasonable pricing, the Crab Stop II is a great place to stop while visiting Daytona.

    This place has the best seafood in my opinion! The staff is so good! All the waitresses have been so good! The place is running down and I would describe as a hole in the wall. Do not let this deter you the food and service are incredible!! We have been coming here for over 3 years. Tonight no difference it was incredible. My daughter is a here from San Francisco and agreed. Order the Snow Special and we get extra corn and potatoes. We also order the seafood rice! All were incredible! I also ordered bud light on draft. Excellent!!

    Best seafood!

    On our last day in the area, we discovered this gem! Love "little hole in the wall" places! This one did not disappoint. I'm sorry I didn't get a photo of the food, but the crab legs and shrimp tasted so fresh, and the potatoes in the garlic sauce were amazing. We also tried the fried oysters! The server was so sweet and give this place a big thumbs up!

    Snow Crab Special Meal

    OMG! I absolutely agree with the other food orgasm comment, best seafood meal me and my husband have ever had! We ordered the Snow Crab special which came 3 snow crab clusters, a dozen jumbo prongs, two corn pieces, and like 1lb. of potatoes all soaked in garlic Cajun butter! Compliments to the chief Corey, the price was extremely affordable, the food was amazing, and the service was great with a homey laid back ambiance! DELICIOUS

    Snow crab fix. Service staff was excellent!!! Looks like it a local favorite. Kid friendly and affordable dining. Lots of private parking. I'm coming back!

    So sick so good

    This is an absolutely bomb experience. The people are fired up to serve their food. It is authentic, delicious, and absolutely a hidden gem. Asked for david to be your server. He's full of life. He's gonna talk your ear off with a funny little accent. The food is absolutely fantastic and this is a total win. I did not know this place was here. Absolute five stars totally off the hook.

    We chose the Crab Stop II for its ideal location near the Museum of Arts & Sciences (MOAS). There was lots of available parking. Unfortunately, as soon as we walked in, we couldn't help but think that the restaurant could use some major sprucing up. Our server was very nice and the menu was great with lots of choices, but the food was just average. The crab cakes were the thinnest we ever had. It's possible that had we ordered other crab dishes we would have been more pleased. With so many seafood restaurants in the area, I'm not sure if we'll be back to this one. Maybe you'd like it!

    This was our second time here and it was just as great as the first! My mom and I had the crabs and my dad ordered the salmon and everything was seasoned perfectly and so delicious. The staff is always so friendly, and the place is cool and comfortable inside, which is great on a hot Florida day. We always tell people to come here, it's definitely the best local spot for seafood in Daytona, coming from someone who's a local

    First time visiting. Ambiance Food Service Value Little curb appeal and inside decor is typical for a seafood restaurant. Several TVs. Didn't use the restroom. We dined about an hour before closing on a Monday night. Several parties in the dining room and take out was robust up until closing. Our party ordered a dish with 12 large shrimp, potatoes, sausage and half an ear of corn. All seasoned with garlic butter and their version of Old Bay. I requested light butter and food was still seasoned well. A healthy portion of food that no one in our party was able to finish. Corn fritters were ok. Aaliyah served us. She was attentive while closing the dining room. Overall good experience and I'd return.

    Came here for Father's Day celebration and need dinner. Just went in…read more The outside is not very flashy but it can tell it is a local place. We went in and got greeted right away. The restaurant has local charm. Not very very expensive but it is nicely decorated and very friendly. We got crispy calamari, mahi fish sandwiches, shrimp po boy sandwiches and coke and unsweetened tea. The food came up fairly quickly. The calamari is very good, esp with the sauces and lemon juices! My fish sandwiches were perfect and very yummy with the tartar sauce. It also came with fries, hush puppies, slaw. Shrimp po boy sandwiches is also amazing. Overall this was a very nice dinner with quality food and services!

    I was excited to try this family-owned restaurant because of the strong reviews, and I truly wanted…read moreto like it, but overall the food and value were disappointing for the price point, even for beachside seafood. My husband and I started with the buffalo shrimp, which is a go-to order for us at seafood spots. The buffalo flavor was good, but the sauce was very oily, and several shrimp still had bits of shell attached beyond the tails, so I ended up picking shell out of my mouth while eating. For my entrée, I ordered the snow crab and shrimp platter and asked for it to be cooked without butter but keep the old bay. The plate arrived with no discernible seasoning at all, and the seafood, potatoes, and corn tasted like they'd been boiled in plain water. When I asked about it, the server explained that they don't steam crab or shrimp in Old Bay, despite agreeing to that when I ordered, and that the platters rely on butter for flavor, which was disappointing for a $40-$50 dish. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because my mother did enjoy her lobster platter. That said, her lobster was absolutely swimming in butter and Old Bay--not lightly drizzled as the menu implies--and it felt like butter was the main source of flavor rather than an enhancement. The server even mentioned how much butter the restaurant goes through in a day, which reinforced that this is their primary approach to seasoning. I enjoy seasoning and lots of flavor, and I prefer seafood that's cooked so the spices and the delicious taste of the shellfish stand out, not preparations that rely on heavy butter, so this restaurant ultimately wasn't a good fit for my preferences.

The Pink Flamingo was delicious. The biggest surprise for us was the cinnamon roll kitchen where bakers are making fresh cinnamon rolls in front of you and you can eat as many as you like! The beauty of this restaurant is that the "fish camp" fixins' are on an all-you-can-eat buffet. But your entree is made to order, fresh for you! Best of both worlds! We had 8 in our party and were delighted to know that it takes 12 for the gratuity to be automatic. That was not an issue, though. Our first server "cousin Richard" was excellent, but then he got pulled away and "cousin Bailey" took care of us. Both were delightfully friendly and very attentive. In our group we had chicken tenders, which I sampled and were some of the best I've ever had. We had shark and alligator appetizers. They were both awesome. We had sautéed shrimp and sautéed scallops. Both were swimming in a delicious buttery garlic sauce and cooked to perfection. One had meatloaf and said it was great! One had salmon. And a couple of people had the crab cakes which they also said were delicious. The sides were also good, and the "fish camp" sides were awesome. I want to especially comment on the cheese grits. As a G.R.I.T.S. (Girl raised in the south) and a devout grits snob, I give my wholehearted double thumbs-up on the grits. I thought my grandson was going to make himself sick eating so much! Final word, the cinnamon rolls were AMAZING!! Warm out of the oven and covered with sugary sauce.
