About
Billy's Stone Crab Restaurant is located on N Ocean Dr in Hollywood. We are known far and wide, both nationally and internationally, as one of the best seafood restaurants & markets to visit when in the Fort Lauderdale area. Captain Billy has figured out that the best way to guarantee quality is to have your own Fishery. Our Fishery is located in the lower keys and we have about 32 commercial fishing boats that fish exclusively for us on the pristine turquoise waters of the gulf and the Atlantic Ocean to bring in the freshest Stone Crabs, Lobsters, and Seafood that is then cooked, weighed, grated, and delivered.

My husband wanted to try stone crab, so this is how we ended up at Billy’s. It looks nothing from the roadside but is actually lovely inside and out on the deck overlooking the water. It was quiet and relaxing watching the boats go by....Miami can be very noisy!! Our waiter was very charming and fun, he really made our stay enjoyable. Food was excellent, I especially like the Brussels sprouts (but then I am English). Would recommend.More

This was outstanding. We had Nick for a vaiter who was fantastic. He gave us oustanding recommendations and was very friendly. The food, particularly the stone crabs were the best ever. Go there, you'll love it.

Service needs work. Dinner came in at over $500 before gratuity for my brother and I, which is absolutely fine, but you you expect a certain level of service which simply was not present. Waitress was increasingly rushed as the evening progressed. It was difficult...to get her attention when we needed anything and she seldom stopped by to see how we were progressing. Busboy was also rushing to clear items which were not yet finished. As this establishment is certainly billed as high end I expect a certain level of service which was lacking in a big way. In the past this restaurant was excellent. Last night was not.More

I never give five stars because I am a total food snob. But in this case five thumbs up! Service is impeccable. Food is unparalleled. Cleanliness at its best. Wonderful view. I am a regular here and I wish I had one of these in...my town. Michael is super accommodating for me even at the last minute. The staff is knowledgeable and proud and it shows. It’s known for its seafood but I can assure you you will not have a better steak anywhere. Everything here is over the top. Very possibly my favorite restaurant anywhere in America.More

Went to Biily’s yesterday for a celebration dinner. The atmosphere is elegant and your table has an outstanding view on the water and we took in the sunset. The service is old school charm. Both attentive and professional - I wish more places would have...this kind of service. The star is the meal, the seafood does not disappoint. Portions are very large, American sized but Billy’s doesn’t sacrifice on quality. I ordered the grouper Benotto while my wife had the Key West Mahi Mahi, both cooked to perfection and sauces were sublime. A perfect meal for a special occasion, very highly recommended.More

The best restaurant in all of Florida. Forget any other steakhouse or seafood house this place takes the cake. Every single dish on the menu I’ve had in one way shape or form. I have been here so many times I can’t count it. If...you were anywhere in South Florida make the trip. The staff is wonderful, the drinks are top-notch, and the food is unparalleled. I can’t give enough good accolades for this establishment. Make reservations and give yourself plenty of time. Parking is a nightmareMore

What a great treat in Hollywood Beach! The interior of the restaurant has a very classy/upscale feel. The views of the waterway are wonderful, and the upstairs bar is huge! Our wait staff was great and helped make some recommendations. We had stone crab, a...fettuccine pasta with sea scallops, and crab capped mushrooms. Everything was excellent. Some have complained about prices, but I suppose it’s all in what you are used to paying. If you frequently dine at in-town restaurants in large cities, the price point here won’t be outrageous to you. Expect to pay $75-80 per person at a minimum for an entree, drinks, and maybe an app. Well worth it!More

Love this places! Excellent fresh seafood. We ordered the king crab leg this is a must if you like crab. They serve all the crab pre cracked so you don’t have to. The seafood is amazingly fresh, the butter is drawn. Everything is top quality....Only wish they would add Snow-crab to the menu. Will come back as often as I can.More

Billy's food and service is fantastic, just very pricey. Our waiter Michael was over the top excellent. Our stone crab and king crab legs were also excellent. The only issue is how expensive it is. With drinks average is $250 per person. So if price...is no problem then highly recommend Billy's.More

A dinner to thank our hosts turned embarrassing when: 1- our reserved window seat was forgotten. 2- our cocktails arrived after our appies 3- our main dish worth $45 US arrived by second sip of cocktail, clearly prepared before ordering and with bottle of wine...while full cocktail drinks were still on the table. 4- Still sipping cocktail during main course. 5- wine glass refills came early and then all dumped into one person’s glass to a ridiculous quantity. 6- dessert pie still frozen 7- meal so-so. 8- waiter and busboy pull plates and dishes off table while still eating. I’m sure there are better places to order stone crab. RUSH RUSH RUSH!!!!! It will make your head spin. Greedy restaurant. Terrible service. Mediocre food. $500 US. Special dinner turned sour.More

The outside area is small but we had a great table on the water. Food was great, crab stuffed mushrooms and clams casino for starters were delish! Wedge salad was great and the Key West Grouper was amazing. The outside area was quiet but nice,...the inside looks lively and fun. All around a great place!More

Even though this restaurant is always packed, It's great if you sit at the bar. Not nearly as packed and noisy as at most of the tables. The bartenders are very helpful and friendly even when slammed. My favorite foods are the wedge salad and...stone crabs. I love all the blue cheese and bacon on the perfect bed of romaine lettuce. The stone crabs are offered in several different sizes and at reasonable prices. Really yummy. Well worth a visit!!More
