Crab Trap Perdido Key

This was the worse place I have ever eaten! The service was horrible. Waited when we sat down for our server for quite some time. She finally came. Another staff member brought out our food. We didn't see her again til the end! The food was horrible! Gumbo does NOT have tomatoes in it or green chunky things in it! Fish was greasy. Fries was cold. Food was just overall bad. The place looks nothing like the pictures in the back. Its hideous. We sat by a run down/non functional bar that was covered in flies! Server hands me the bill (key pad) and stands over me and tells me too select what tip I am giving her. I felt so awkward. She literally was telling me to push what % tip to hit! All the while she stood next to me, while I held her key pad to pay my bill! I was so mad leaving there! I had just paid $180! Especially for such a horrible place & experience! I suggest you skip this place!

Got the Bairdi crab when visiting a few weeks ago! Some of the best crab legs I’ve ever eaten, well worth the money! If you can, give them a try! Next time we are down we will be back!

Late dinner on a rainy night. Good food options and great service

Have been going to this restaurant for many years. Always great food and service. Chef Ray was terrific and food was even better. Great service from Carson. Absolutely one of the best restaurants on the gulf coast!

My wife and I really enjoy this place. Always a great local feel, and right off the ocean with a great view. Been coming here since 2010 when we were first stationed here, and each time I come back for training, etc.
Still the same.

Very well priced. Crab is well cooked. Recommend trying the gumbo and hush puppies. First time I tried these crab cakes. They were awesome!

We love this place, and always make it a point to eat here each year when on vacation in perdido key. The atmosphere is great, located on the beach, with outdoor and indoor seating, and even a playground out back for the kiddos. We had a party of 8 and were sat promptly, and our server was as great. There were no complaints around the table as far as the food goes, and my crab legs were particularly good for the price. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for crab legs. My snow crab was excellent. And the drinks are so reasonable priced. My mother-in-laws margarita was only 3.99 which you can’t beat for regular pricing, let alone vacation pricing. Also we got the crab dip as an appetizer and everyone really liked it!

Food was great but the service was slow and lacking. I would give it another chance.

My pasta was congealed, pasty, and cold. The others in my party were equally disappointed with their meals. There were 4 tables inside that were occupied and 4 outside, with 4 servers on staff. This should have been sufficient staffing. I ordered another drink and it took 20 minutes to arrive and only after I watched the waiter react to the bartender saying something.
It wasn't worth the $70 I paid for two drinks and a bowl of "shrimp pesto linguine".
I ended up throwing away the 2nd drink as it was just as bland as the pasta.

Kid-friendliness: They have a playground behind the restaurant.
