Food and service was great. Recommended gator bites, DONE! Recommended shrimp and grits and red snapper DONE!!!! And they were spot on. Cheese grits by far best I have had. And the view of the beach topped it all off.

So I've taken two days to ponder the experience I had here ... I'm still above and beyond impressed by Cameron our server, and the quality, freshness, and selection of the best food you will find on the beach. Everything was perfectly prepared, every bite was full of flavor and taste. The chef here is cooking with pride and really makes a statement with the food. I literally ordered everything on the menu to get a taste, and every single thing was spectacular. This will be the only place I go for seafood when I'm in the area or in Florida. So you take incredible food, the atmosphere, the music, and you add that to sitting in the sand, watching the waves roll in or enjoying the sunset ... I'm sorry, but you just don't find perfection like this very often.

This restaurant is very good, the food is very and the service is fast and good. We arrived at 7:00 PM it was full of people and it only took us 20 minutes. They have live music and tables on the sand near the beach the truth is that this restaurant is very good to share with friends and families, I recommend it to everyone. ...

Sat outside, by sand at sunset. Chante, our waitress was fabulous all around, her service skills to her eyes! Beautiful sunset. Had the 32 oz. Rum bucket drink, peel and eat shrimp and the salty crab combo to share. All were delicious! They serve breakfast on the beach here!! Definitely want to come back for that!

So good! Love the beachfront vibes, live music, tasty drinks and great food. It was rainy that day but the live show went in and all covered seating, to keep the rain away. The grouper tacos were great as well as the fresh grouper! The fried grouper and shrimp combo also awesome. We also had one of the best chicken sandwiches around. This place did not disappoint, it was great and fun!

We decided on dinner here for our anniversary! This ended up being a great choice! Our server was friendly and energetic! We were seated out on the sand area, and despite the cold and night sky, it was amazing! The food was awesome! We had crab and spinach dip and shared a shrimp Alfredo pasta dish! Our drinks were as yummy as the names of them made it sound! I would definitely recommend eating at the “Salty Crab” if you find yourself in the area! You will NOT be disappointed!
