Best Drinks and Food

This place is so neat. It is right near Pier 60 so you can see all kinds of things. I ordered the Stuffed Fish with Coconut Rice and Slaw. It was absolutely AMAZING. I could eat a whole bowl of the coconut rice. My husband...got the Fried Shrimp and Grouper with fries and slaw. It was very good. I think they have the best drinks honestly. My husband got the Crabby’s Crab Trap and the Dockside Punch. I ended up drinking the latter. They both were very good.More

Wonderful Service and Great Food!

My husband and I brought our fresh caught fish and they did an amazing job cooking it for us. Mr. Jim was a wonderful waiter. We visited a second time on our trip and Brittany on the 2nd floor took great care of us. This...was our second year visiting Clearwater and the service at Crabby's Dockside has always been great. Love this place!More

Prank is the best

Great atmosphere, amazing food and the best bartender I've ever encountered. Phank was knowledgeable about the menu and the area and kept it fun and fresh with jokes along the way. Will definitely recommend.

Great Food With A View

I visited Crabby's Dockside for dinner last week and sat at the bar on the 3rd floor because you can see the ocean. My bartender was Phrank and he was awesome!!! He suggested a few things on the menu but I ended up ordering the...calamari as a appetizer and the grouper sandwich The food was fresh and very good. Phrank made me a Margarita and it was the best Margarita I have ever tasted. Will be back, food is great and service was excellent!More

Freshest shrimp we ever had!

Our service was wonderful! The waitress was friendly and attentive. I got grilled shrimp and my husband got fried shrimp. We both were amazed at the taste! Guess it was the freshest shrimp we ever had! The sides were great too. The place was quite...busy and noisy, but the food more than made up for it!More

Steph took great care of us at Crabby’s. She was a patient, caring waitress as we needed a few extra minutes to order as our flights got cancelled as we walked in. The crab legs were amazing too- grilled is the way to go! Our...kiddos gobbled up the shrimp.More

The food was fine, the service was exceptional

The food was standard fare for a seaside tourist town, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. We chose to sit inside for this occasion. But it was the service from Javier B. that made the visit what it was. He provided the perfect...amount of interaction and even managed to refresh my drink without me noticing. One moment I'm sipping an almost empty sweet tea and talking with my daughter, the next moment I notice a fresh refill sitting on the table. His recommendations prior to us ordering, and his jovial attitude set the course for the evening's sunset we were getting ready to enjoy. So again, the food was good (and bountiful), but the staff made the experience what it was! Thank you.More
