“ The crab cakes (my favorite) were slightly crisp on outside and very smooth and moist inside with plenty of flavor and great ratio of meat to breading, coleslaw, hush puppies, garlic buttery potatoes and corn fritters were superb!!!! View is beautiful and was a relaxing and friendly environment. We made reservation at 6:00 pm but it was fairly empty when we arrived. Got seated outside with a wonderful view. Very friendly staff. We will be coming back again when we are in town again. ”

“ Great experience. Not too crowded, food and service was excellent! ”

“ The outside seating is great on a breezy day. Caribbean fried rice is great! Fried Talapia was cooked perfectly and could use some spices. The staff was courteous and helpful, Sidney was funny. Nice water front view. Order the drink Naked Turtle. ”

“ On paper, the menu is the same as other places. In practice, the food is so great! This place redefines what those menu items mean. The service is also fantastic - clean tables, very attentive host, plenty of napkins, dirty plates are gone before you notice. Oh, and did I mention cocktails? This isn’t your regular 90% foam and ice drinks. The cocktails are properly made. Also, make sure to catch the sunset when you come. The view is beautiful. Спасибо! ”

“ 23Nov2024 - another great meal at the Crab Stop. Our waiter this time was Clifford, and he was a hoot. Very friendly, easy to talk to with a dry sense of humor. I had the Caribbean seafood rice and it was excellent. Great flavors. Nice and warm. A great meal. Once again, my wife had the New England clam chowder and it was exceptional. She continues to rave about it. All in all, an outstanding meal with excellent views of the water. 17Nov2024 - My wife and I come down to the Vero Beach area a couple times a year. We really enjoy the restaurants up in Sebastian. One of our favorite restaurants up there is the Crab Stop. The food is excellent. The blackened mahi sandwich was exceptional. Also, their New England clam chowder was as good as what we’ve had at Legal Seafood up in Boston. That in and of itself is a great compliment. The staff is very friendly, professional, and fun to talk to. Phil was our waiter (bartender too) and he was great. One of the reasons we like this restaurant so much is because of the water views. Every seat in the restaurant is excellent. The water views are spectacular. Along with the great tasting food, what a treat.! ”

“ Great place with great food and staff. Nice scenic few. Fried shrimp and crab balls were our favorites. Would come back 10/10 ”

“ The view of the river, with its islands and sand bars, was absolutely beautiful. I was a little disappointed that blue crab, which is kind of their signature, was out of season. Also, the restrooms really need to be remodeled — I feel like restrooms are a great opportunity to add character and leave a good impression. That said, the food completely blew me away. We ordered fried snow crab as an appetizer — it was really good. For entrees, we had a fried grouper sandwich with fries and a Dungeness crab boil. Everything was incredible! 10 out or 10 ”

“ Went here for an early lunch on Saturday morning it was a group of 4 of us and it was empty. We picked a table outside it was windy but sooo worth it you get an amazing view of the Indian River and, we were lucky enough to spot a dolphin playing with two Pelicans, you may also get lucky enough and spot a manatee or a shark the food was amazing!!! The presentation was flawless the Caribbean rice comes in a fresh pineapple! The lobster Snack pack was full of flavor and the lobster tail was a good size. The drinks were really good not watered down I recommend the frozen mango margarita. Our waitress went above and beyond she knows the area well and was giving us tips on where to go to see the scenery and wildlife. Overall a really pleasant and delicious experience. I will definitely be returning soon! ”
