Ricks Crab Trap is just that - a trap. $32 for an appetizer of crab claws. And our oysters were $17? We had asked for no bacon in the oysters but they came with bacon anyway, the waitress saw us flicking the bacon off the oysters and didn’t say a word to us about it. We had crab claws last night for $13 that were way better than these $32 claws. Don’t fall for the trap that is Rick’s Crab TRAP!

Mahi so good you have to say it twice. Seasoning was right on point

We tried Rick's last year and had a great experience. Had to come back again. Oysters were fresh, big and reasonably priced. Shrimp and grits were fire! Will be back every time we are in Ft. Walton.

Crab legs were ok. Overseasoned. Corn was not fully cooked and didn't have flavor. We ordered cheese curds, which we never got. Very pricey for what we got.

This place overall was pretty good. Food was good, service was good, and it was pretty laid-back in there. The one complaint I have is that they have an 18% gratuity tip automatically added on tab for a family of 3 adults and 3 kids. A heads up would have been nice before seeing it on the ticket. Other than that, it was good.

The staff was very friendly. Dre, our server, was right there when we needed anything- he made our visit wonderful! We ordered appetizers and, although we had to wait a little longer than my son would have wanted, when they came to the table they were very hot! The fish was tasty and the crab claws were exactly what I was looking for tonight! Thanks to the hostess and to Dre, they made our first night out very nice!

The food was fantastic. The price is fantastic. We went to more high-end restaurants when we were visiting down there and I was totally amazed at your places, more reasonable and better food quality. We are so glad we found this place.
