I had never had stone crabs before. They were delicious!! DH had blackened grouper that he thought was great. Other reviewers have complained about the condition of the building, but we were never even inside. We sat outside and the view was awesome. The service was good, too. I probably would only recommend going here when stone crabs are in... more

The location is beautiful, on the water with sealife and birds abounding. The food is delicious and the service is very friendly. It's the same as it's been since the 1970s which is fantastic. It's a magical visit every time we come down here. We hope it never changes. We enjoy sitting out on the porch for dinner. We wish... more

Fab location, but serving crackers wrapped in cellophane in lieu of home-baked organic bread is beyond the pale. After a meal of catfish and french fries I was sick for two days - but my guest had no "side-effects". more

Moores is the last of the "Old Florida Restaurants" left around. The birds are there because it is a dock, that is where they bring in the best Stone Crabs in FLA. Try the seafood soup or the grouper sandwich. Moores isn't fancy, it's just GREAT. lbkbob more

If your looking for the water view, you cant beat it. If your looking for a has been seafood restaurant, you cant beat it either. I had fried oysters and they were like eating little stones. I remember this place years ago when they cared about what they put in front of you. Guys, you should have sold out for... more

my family and I just returned from Longboat key, and we ate at Moore's stone crab (on the bay). The food was average- nothing special. The atmosphere was lacking a little. While overlooking the bay was pretty- the decor suffered. There are alot better other places to eat on the island. more

I ate at Moore's with my wife and 2 kids on July 3, 2007. It was a disaster. This place came on the recommended list at our hotel. The condition of the building was poor. You could call it a shack. We had a beautiful view of birds defecating on the dock near the window. It was a mess. My... more
