    Monday 2/17, tried to call twice around 530-550 pm to order by phone as I was running other errands and the calls went straight to voicemail and said they don't take voicemails. Finally, I resorted to placing an online order, able to pay online as well through Apple Pay luckily. I drove to the location which I was familiar with as it's on my way to the gym, but I grew confused as I pulled into the strip mall for Cajun Crab House looking for a Waves Crab House sign. I would have possibly assumed they were the same thing if the big red Cajun Crab House sign was on, but it was not so I automatically thought I ordered from the wrong place. (That's on me I didn't notice the flashing open sign under the name.) At that point (before I saw the open sign), I tried calling again. This time I got an answer and they explained it's the same business (and then I saw the flashing open sign). The staff was extremely professional and the person who provided me my order went through the bag to ensure it contained all the parts of my combo, offering me gloves, bibs, and wipes as well, which I accepted. There was a sign that states the staff should always review items in bag to ensure correct order, which I appreciate! Great SOP. My combo had crab, sausage, and headless shrimp. Two pieces of potato, two corn on the cob pieces. Rice was cooked to perfection (moist). We got the house seasoning (all three combined?) and mild spice. I don't love spicy and it wasn't too spicy for me. I haven't had Mr and Mrs Krab in a while so it's hard to compare the flavors I think but I feel like I always love Mr/Mrs Krab and I only liked this one. Not sure if I'm grasping at straws here but it tasted like the other crab boil bits are marinated in flavor but here it tasted like it was cooked then tossed in the seasoning. Cajun Crab House is Waves Crab House Still very good and I think it was fair for the price. I think after tip and tax I paid $42-45 and it fed two of us comfortably. Only thing is we don't have crab tools at home. Not their fault, but wish there was some kind of to go crab claw breaking tool lol. All in all, would definitely be back!

    Combo C

    I decided to try this restaurant with a group of friends. When we arrived we noticed that the staff was friendly. Also, they have a lot of available seats, so we were seated right away. We tried the Combo C that includes blue crab, snow crab, sausage, shrimp, potatoes, corn and green mussels. The seasoning we tried was Cajun. The taste was really good and the shrimp had a large size. It was definitely enough for the three of us. I'm coming back soon!

    Combo D. Special

    Decent Seafood, But a Few Drawbacks I recently visited Wave Crab House and tried their seafood boil -- I ordered Combo D, which came with mussels, shrimp, and crab. The food was good overall, flavorful and satisfying, though nothing that really stood out compared to other seafood boils I've had. Service was okay -- our server was very nice and polite, but seemed a bit overwhelmed. We didn't get refills during our meal, which was a bit of a letdown considering the spice and saltiness of a seafood boil. I also noticed the prices were a bit higher than similar seafood spots in the area. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely something to keep in mind if you're comparing options. Would I go back? Possibly -- but I'd probably have to think twice and maybe explore other spots first.

    We celebrate my 60th birthday and I chose to pick my own seafood. In the picture I have shrimp, calamari, smoked sausage, scallops and crab legs underneath. YUM! Highly recommend their house seasoning and extra spicy! Can't wait to go back!

    The staff at Waves was so welcoming and pleasant especially for having to be there on Christmas...which we were grateful for. My mom and I both had the snow crab boil with red potatoes and it was delicious. Great pricing and delicious drinks. Highly recommend

    We were looking for a place I can eat at that fits my current strict dietary restrictions and found this place. The food was delicious and didn't contain sugar dairy or gluten or any processed junk. Ash was our server and she was very friendly and in our interactions with her made us feel welcome But that was the problem. The place was empty. We had to wait 25 mins for the food then another 20 mins for the check. Ash checked up on us one time right after we got the food and then we never saw her again. With so few people in house you would expect the service to be faster.

    Seafood boil.

    Our family came down to visit and they wanted seafood. We'd never tried Waves but I'm happy we did. My seafood boil was delicious and everyone else's meals were good as well.

First impression was a little suspect because it's clearly a house turned restaurant/bar. Once we got inside though, I loved the charm of it. There are different rooms you walk through and they have it all set up with tables and chairs....all different kinds so it's a modge podge of tables. Then there are cool chandeliers over the tables and bar signs everywhere. Our waitress was a new implant to Florida and she was super sweet and helpful. She also made a mean vodka tonic! Ok so let's get to the food. First we ordered the Fried Alligator Bites and the Fried Green Tomatoes as appetizers and they were both delicious! The alligator wasn't super chewy and the voodoo sauce was banging! I went with the Shrimp and Grits and sheesh I was blown away! I loved the texture and the taste of the grits. They had just the right amount of cheese and the shrimp were cooked perfectly! The hubby got the Grouper Tacos and he said they were good but a little dry. He wished they had some more toppings...either sauce or pico de gallo. My daughter got the mussel pasta. She loved the mussels but was disappointed by the penne pasta. She wished it was a bit saucier as it only had a lemony/wine liquid that wasn't sticking to the pasta. All in all this place was good. We will go at least once more since it's by where we're staying and I want to try a couple more things on the menu.

The people are also very nice even if service is a little slow. Okay, now to the meat of what you're interested in: the food. If the food were 50% cheaper you'd probably be willing to overlook its shortcomings for the ambiance. There's little seasoning to be found on anything so everything is bland. Even the fries are completely lacking in salt. The grouper was breaded nicely and cooked properly but it was almost tasteless. The bacon carried my wife's Crab BLT because everything was so bland for her. The lobster dip appetizer had uncooked Parmesan sprinkled on the bread that was neither bruschetta nor dipping bread so it just didn't work well as an appetizer either. Overall, there's a better restaurant literally next door that's a little cheaper and I can't see coming back after such a disappointing outing.

Since it was a little humid outside, we opted to sit inside with the AC. Here's what we ordered: I have their new coconut crusted grouper sandwich style with onion rings.

Shredded coconut in a lightly sweet batter, fried to golden perfection. The sweetness of the coating complemented the fish without overpowering it. I genuinely didn't expect to love it as much as I did. We upgraded our side to the beer-battered onion rings -- worth every penny. The batter had real flavor and a satisfying crunch that held up through the whole meal. My wife went with the lobster corn dog, and honestly it might be the most fun dish on the menu. A fluffy, mildly sweet batter wrapped around solid chunks of actual lobster, served on a stick. No filler, no shortcuts -- just real lobster. The fries on the side came out crispy and were finished with Parmesan and parsley, which elevated what could have been a throwaway side. One thing to note: skip the fountain soda. My Sprite tasted flat and watery, basically club soda in a cup. Stick with something from the bottle or grab a beer. Big Ray's is the kind of place that takes bar food seriously and executes it at a high level. Creative without being gimmicky. Already planning the next, Po boys!!!

    Best. Brussels sprouts. Ever!…read more I know! I'm at a seafood place with great views and tons of tropical drinks-and I appreciate all of that, too. But the Brussels sprouts... wow! They're made with honey... and honey, they're gooood! They're magical-and after an extra long work week, they were also medicinal. Finn's sits right on the water, in Apollo Beach. It's tucked back in a residential area, not far off U.S. 41, right next to Circles. We were there at 12;30 on a Friday afternoon and parking was already scarce. (I can't imagine weekend nights) But don't let that hold you back. This is a fun spot-with inside dining-a huge covered deck and two other outside areas-all with great views. The food and bar menus have enough temptations to keep you coming back for that alone. The blackened mahi was cooked well and not too spicy. It comes with pineapple pico-that was balanced-not overwhelmed by onions. And the fries were really good-nice crunch-came out piping hot. And don't forget the Brussels (I sure won't!) I thought $21.99 was a fair price for the generous portion of fish and two sides (they have a large sides selection!) The drinks were good-nice kick, but not too strong--just right. I hadn't had a rumrunner in *years but suddenly had a craving for one. I knew it would be sweet-and it was-but I liked it. The key lime colada (made with Rumchata coconut!) was very sweet but really good. The perfect dessert. The vibe is casual, laid back and fun. Service was warm and super efficient. Amanda always knew just when to check in. It was the perfect April day to be out on the deck. It's a great spot to laugh with friends or just chill out and slow down. I'm all for all of it. Finntastic!
