“This was an amazing restaurant! Our family of 11 are there for dinner. It wasn’t busy on a Monday around 6. Sat right away. The restaurant is huge with 2 stories and with plenty of inside or outside seating. We sat upstairs outside next to the water. It had an awesome view! Beautiful scenery of the water! Great menu. Drinks were fantastic! Recommend the Georgia Peach! Food was all terrific! Blackend grouper tacos were tasty! There fries are the best! And our waitress was so great at her job! She moved our family of 11 from outside to inside when it started to rain with no hesitation before we even asked her to. This place is a must try and we will absolutely be back!!!“

“I took the advice from many of you and finally tried Crabbers Daytona Beach for their seafood boil. I ordered the buy one get one free for my friend and I. It came with snow crabs, mussels, crawfish, shrimp, potatoes, and corn. I chose their signature Crabbers Sauce and asked for it hot.

Our waitress, Nancy, was absolutely incredible. She was warm, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Her hospitality reminded me of being back home with family.

When the food arrived, it came in two large bags served on a silver platters. The presentation was impressive. As soon as I opened the bag, the aroma of the Crabbers Sauce filled the air. It smelled so amazing I almost started tearing up with joy.

I was worried the snow crab would be salty or dry, but it was the complete opposite. It was tender, juicy, and had a delicate sweetness that made every bite perfect. The mussels and crawfish were so freakin’ good that I couldn’t stop eating. I even took my bowl of rice and mixed it into that incredible Crabber Sauce because there was no way I was letting any of it go to waste.

The crawfish tasted exceptionally fresh, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. The corn was sweet, the potatoes were soft and tasty, and every bite was packed with flavor. By the end of the meal, I had sauce all over my hands, my face, and probably my shirt. I looked like a complete savage—and I didn’t care one bit.

There was so much food that I was ready to drink the remaining sauce straight from the bag. It reminded me of the seafood boil restaurant I used to frequent back in New Jersey, and I’ve finally found a place here that measures up. Their Crabber Sauce is easily one of the best I’ve ever had.

The portions were extremely generous, the flavors were outstanding, and the service was top-notch. If you’re looking for an amazing seafood boil in the Daytona Beach area, I highly recommend Crabbers.

Thank you to everyone who recommended this place. You were absolutely right!“

“Rih, is the best server i’ve ever had. She catered to not only us but our child as well. Even cleaned his bottle he dropped. You don’t get above and beyond service like that anymore. She made the experience so personal and so great. We’ve been coming here for years and she is by far the best addition we have ever experienced here. AMAZING server. Fast, smart, and sweet!“

“We tried this local restaurant today for the first time. The food was terrific, cooked perfectly. The “fish camp fixings” was a nice addition. Our server was friendly and efficient. We dined outside to enjoy the beautiful day. The children’s playground out there seemed out of place. It took away from the esthetics of the place and the whole dining experience.“

“Had a meeting there today. Food, service, and atmosphere were perfect. Will make this on a regular basis.“

“We are in town on vacation and my son found this place online and suggested it.

Wife and daughter did the all you can eat salad bar, son ordered a double burger with fries, I ordered a triple burger with fries.

First of all, the food came out fresh and extremely fast. We all agreed that our food was very good. I left 4 stars instead of 5 because I felt it was a little too pricey for the food given. Overall though if you want a good burger or salad bar, check this place out and you won't be disappointed.“

“Food and drinks were awesome“

“Seafood is great and awesome prices.“

“Becka took great care of us and food was great!!“

“This would be my second time visiting Crabby's, my first being in St. Augustine. Across the board, this company does a great job of good food, good service and fair market pricing. The location/parking is tight so be prepared to have the maneuver and look for parking. The hush puppies are one of my favorites and recommended.“

“Amazing food. Amazing drinks. Amazing beach atmosphere. Ask for Theresa for a server! We came back twice in one week because it was so good.“

“I have patronized this location for the better of 5 years or more and overall I have had pleasant experiences and enjoyed the food. Naturally, there were times when mistakes did occur and the owner/manager always offered to correct; however, the manager/owner's habitual excuse making as a pass for incompetence (customer service) is rather insufferable!!! I was taught that you tell the establishment rather than smear but clearly Pat does NOT appreciate my efforts to give him the opportunity to hear my complaints without making me feel as if I am unreasonable to expect that my order is correct with all the accompanied condiments and not a waste of my time to have to wait longer to correct and/or forced to return to the business!“

“Fabulous food. Wanted something local while visiting the beach. Great atmosphere and the food was great. Good kids menu. My kiddo is a picky eater and loved her chicken tenders. Would stop by again.“

“Never AGAIN. I changed my order. GUESS what did not happen....... WILL never come back“

“What a lovely Bistro! There was hardly anyone there. It was so quiet and relaxing. Great views of the ocean. The shrimp tacos were outstanding!!! I really liked their homemade potato chips too. The service was impeccable. I'll have to go back again. ?“

“Friendly people and consistently good food each time we visited. Highly recommend!“

“Food was amazing and great service“

“Brooke was fantastic, fun environment. hugh portions. great night“

“The most inviting staff, such fresh seafood !! KJ is the best bartender ask for her, and get your happy hour drink. Go for the ribeye special also. Our favorite local place.“

“My wife and I had an early dinner at Boondocks in Port Orange. The drinks and food were great. The only thing better was the service. If a server passed your table, with a smile they asked how everything was and did you need anything. Best staff attitude I have seen in a long time. Cudos to the Staff and mgt. Of Boondocks Port Orange. A must go.“

“I miss it! Hope it comes back soon.“

“Since I live in Ponce Inlet, I've been to Down the Hatch many times and have always found their seafood to be so fresh all the time. This time I had my sons visiting me from St. Louis, they wanted to eat at the best restaurant for seafood, and of course, we went right here and it didn't disappoint. They especially loved the shecrab soup with the sherry on the side. It was scrumptious. Their dinners were wonderful, as well as the desserts. Needless to say, we went home with plenty of leftovers. Steve, the server was great. All in all, it was a perfect night. So whether you live nearby or on vacation, make it a point to dine there.“

“We recently got a couple Lobster Rolls for my husband's birthday and they were incredibly delicious! It was stuffed with meat and oh so flavorful! Thank you for making my babe's birthday lunch perfect.“

“We were out for a walk and stumbled upon this gem! It’s very clean, the food was hot fresh and tasty and the service was great. Would highly recommend and we will be back !“

“The food & prices were excellent but what I loved most of all is their staffs honesty. I went while on vacation and left a package with all my iPhone, iwatch and AirPods. 3 was later I called & they had them. The general manager and manager mailed it to me. Of course I paid them but, who does this nowadays? Thank you for being amazing, can’t wait to visit again. You are officially m favorite place in Daytona.“

“One of a kind bar!!! Great bra tenders and good drinks! The atmosphere with the music and the ocean 🌊 breeze makes the whole experience just amazing! I will definitely be visiting again soon and also try the food on the top deck! 😊“

“We went to Caribbean Jacks while on vacation, and were not disappointed. The food was wonderful, and the service was fantastic. This is not the reason for the review however. When we contacted the restaurant about a possible lost credit card, Chris and the rest of his staff went above and beyond by locating the card, then personally mailing it to our home. Now that’s service!“

“Me encantó lo recomiendo mucho porque me gustó“

“Everytime I come here I feel like I have Mark as our server! He’s wonderful! So polite and social and on top of it! I was feeling bad about breaking my foot and he stopped to have a conversation with me that made me feel so much better…. I’ve been coming here for forever and I have zero bad things to say! Great food, great staff, great customer service! Thank you for everything you do guys!“

“The environment was absolutely gorgeous and very well decorated! The food even better' alot of options and large portions, plenty of leftovers for later! I would go here again every time I come back here for vacation. Hands down ,one of the best restaurant in florida.“

“Owners, entertainment, food, vibe, staff - all a 10/10. While everything was fantastic, I’d come just for the ceaser salad and peanut butter pie alone. Can’t wait to visit again.“

“Mama’s has quickly become our new favorite! We greatly enjoy the fresh, healthy menu, as well as the cozy atmosphere, and attentive, friendly staff. We’ve tried several of the delicious dishes and have been impressed and pleased with them. The Spring Rolls are a must with their yummy peanut sauce. The Com Ga Toi is truly scrumptious, as well as the Pho Tai Nam, mouth watering!!! We’ve been full to the gills from the sizable portions, so we haven’t tried dessert yet, but the options look tasty. The staff is engaging and makes you feel welcome as they politely check in on you and fill your drinks and bring the wonderful offerings. We will continue to enjoy Mama’s every chance we get! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Delicious foods. Friendly owner and a variety of choices and authentic tastes.“

“We had Holly as a bartender and server. The food and drinks were great, but next time we're in the area, we're coming back here to be entertained by Holly again. She was so personable, exactly what a business needs from a bartender.“

“We just ran the 360 Photo Booth at Salty D’s for a charity fundraiser event for Awareness Day (Legal Abuse) with After Awareness. We had such a great time, the venue, staff and food was phenomenal! I overheard people saying it was the best ribeye (if I recall right - I’m a vegetarian here, lol) they have ever heard. I had French fries and the house salad and it was great! We were blown away with the hospitality, kindness and quality of food. I would definitely recommend, plus you’re right across the street from the beach!“
