🦀What a delightful surprise! We had the best snow crab, the best beverages, and overall the best service we have had in a long time! Philip, the server, was outstanding!! Not only did he go over and beyond, he was thoughtful, personable, and super-friendly. We will be back and hope that he will be our server again. Thank you, Phillip!
We’re visiting from out of town and decided to go to the Crab Trap because I’ve never had crab legs. When we got there, our server was Philip and we had THE BEST experience. The whole restaurant was full from the get go but he still made time to make us laugh and was just the sweetest. The food was 100/10 and I will always recommend it to anyone traveling to Fort Walton. For my first time ever eating crab legs, I think I chose the right spot. Philip was the best part though,...read full review
We were there over Memorial Day weekend and the crab trap was easily the best food that we had all weekend. It was busy, but the food still came out fast came out correct and was delicious. The wait staff was amazing as well.

The Crab Trap is a seafood restaurant located on the boardwalk in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, offering a beautiful ocean view and a relaxed beach vibe. The outdoor patio seating is perfect for enjoying the beach atmosphere. One of the standout dishes is the snowcrab legs, which have a delicious, sweet, buttery flavor. However, be prepared for the effort required to crack the shell and extract the meat, as it can be scarce for the effort needed. Customers often praise the friendly, personable servers, with one server named Nick receiving special mention for quick service and attentive care. The view, the atmosphere, and the food are highly appreciated, making visitors want to return again and again. The restaurant has a large, free parking lot, making it a convenient dining option. Visitors can also do some souvenir shopping and access the beach easily, with nearby activities like beach volleyball. The food, especially the snow crab and Bairdi crab legs, is described as excellent and flavorful, with some customers saying they ate all the meat and wish they could visit more often. The restaurant offers great views, tasty seafood, and friendly staff, though some mention that the menu can be overpriced and service, at times, not perfect. Overall, The Crab Trap provides a nice dining experience with a relaxed beach vibe and delicious seafood, making it a popular spot for tourists.
