26 Best Seafood Restaurants near Lutz

“We had a great experience last night with our server, Ryan. In the past, we've had this other server who tells really bad jokes and tries to upsell you at every turn. We were seated in his section, and if he had been assigned to us, we were going to ask to be moved. We heard him doing his schpiel with the other tables around us; the usual M.O: trying really hard to charm the customers with his purposely bad jokes (i.e.: "Where does the Dad store his jokes --- in the DAD-abase"). On a more serious note, he is always making reommendations which (not surprisingly) don't appear on the menu, so there's no idea how much they cost. If you order any sort of whitefish, he will always try to talk you into getting the Chilean Sea Bass, and along with the Rockefeller topping is "the greatest meal you'll have here". No mention of the price on that one, but trust me, I'm sure it is incredibly expensive. We heard him discussing a bill dispute at a neighboring table, where an item appeared on their bill that they did not order. They also questioned a charge for a salad that did not come with their order, that was an extra charge. I can imagine that he probably "suggested" the salad to go with it, without mentioning the fact that it was an extra charge. This was an elderly couple, and to me, this seemed like a situation of a manipulative server taking advantage of vulnerable seniors. In short, avoid the guy with the corny jokes, and if you do get him, expect that he will upsell you multiple times during your meal. Just say no. :-)“

“Went to The Great Catch on St. Patrick’s Day 🍀 It was a good balance of the holiday and the restaurant’s good food and fresh atmosphere. Our server, Becca, was friendly and efficient 😊 We will be back.“

“Great place to celebrate birthdays!“

“We had seven adults and four children, and we had a great night. Love being able to make reservations for our large group, and at a restaurant that's not going to break the bank. The food was delicious and the service was even better. My wife commented several times on how pleased she was that our server checked on us so frequently. Thank you.“

“Have to try their combo C BOGO“

“Lived in Carrollwood for over 20 years, I can’t believe I have never been here. Went first time last night. Hidden gem. Really liked. Great atmosphere, very quaint and great food. Joe and the staff were attentive and awesome. Definitely will be back again. Highly recommend!!“

“I didn’t know what all the hype was about until I had their medium spicy garlic butter crab legs. I’ve seen Florida ladies going crazy over this dish and I thought calm down it’s just crab legs. Well this is a whole new level of crab legs seafood boil. I was served this for Mother’s Day. It’s my new favorite spot“

“I would absolutely recommend Skipper's Smokehouse . A Florida legend in hometown Florida cuisine and music. Thank you Skipper's for being here.“

“So yummy ❤️ it was delicious“

“Don't let the location of this diamond distract you!! This place offers you good ol' fashion fish fry! You pick your fresh seafood from shrimp to fish, and they cook it . Oh my goodness, this place is on my top 5 food list. However, i suggest taking it home or find a cozy spot at a park or dine in your vehicle.“

“the food is hot and excellent love this place“

“Really any food their cook makes is good ... I order food there almost on a daily basis, but sometimes i feel like eating something different that isn't in their menu... guess what these guys always find a way to make me happy and go beyond to do so, even making those things that they normally don't sale and isn't even in their menu... and guess what compared to places that do have the exact same item in their Menu Billy's is way better! i think that says it all ... their establishment might be humble but the quality of their food is that of the best anywhere in Town.. It really is all about the chef! 👍👍👍👍👍“

“This was our first experience with Mr and Mrs Crab. The four of us visited at 6 p.m. on a Saturday night and had no trouble getting seated. Our server, I believe his name was Daniel, was excellent in explaining the menu to us and attending to us throughout the meal. We had calamari and fried pickles for the appetizer, and we enjoyed a delicious bowl of clam chowder before dinner. Our friends ordered exactly the same thing we did. Each of us had one boil S-1 The basic, which came with 1/2 pound of shrimp, 1/2 pound of sausage, and 1/2 pound of blue mussels. The boil also came with ample potatoes and corn. We both ordered the Mr and Mrs Crab special seasoning. I ordered mine with medium heat, and next time I will order it with hot, as it wasn't spicy enough for me. The fish and chips included a generous portion of fish, and we opted for sweet potato fries; both the fish and fries were exceptionally well-prepared. The manager or owner stopped by to ensure our food and service were satisfactory. We didn't all care for the photographer who stopped by with a classic camera to take pictures of us (dinner cruise style). We thought they just wanted the picture for their walls, but sure enough, around she came, trying to sell the photos all framed for us. Just not our style of a private dinner restaurant. However, she was very nice. We will definitely return for another visit. Excellent food.“

“We were a party of four dining towards closing time on a Thursday evening. Best crab dinner, highly recommend the King crab combo! We also ordered calamari, Buffalo wings (huge) and catfish with fries. Everything tasted super fresh, was served hot and the flavors of the sauces were memorable. Gio was super attentive at exactly the right times without being intrusive, super friendly and super careful about every menu item once we told him one of us had a shellfish allergy. The owners were also amazingly friendly and helpful.
We would go back to Crafty Crab every time one of us wants crab.“

“Met the nicest gentleman, Brian, who made the best mushroom pixxa!! Very tasty, indeed.“

“Great service anytime I have dined here, and the food is always good! Grouper poboy is a must try! 😍“

“They have a good amount of seafood available. Open later than grocery stores, and are fast at handling. Somewhat pricier than grocery store however higher quality and fresher. They also have a restaurant inside. Pretty nice store. Will be returning.“

“Review for Lima – Tampa, FL What an amazing experience! Lima truly delivers authentic Peruvian cuisine with incredible flavors that transport you straight to Peru. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish bursting with authenticity and rich, traditional flavors. The service was just as fantastic! Pablo, our server, was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. I absolutely loved the food and can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend Lima to anyone looking for an authentic Peruvian dining experience in Tampa. ⭐⭐⭐ Noris Roche“
