Who doesn’t love lunch with a view?! We first came here on our honeymoon in 2022 and loved it so much we came back in 2026 with our little guy! The food & service were amazing, 10/10! We can’t wait for our next visit!
If you like a cute local shop with excellent sea food options, this place is for you! If you are looking for some fancy dining establishment and you are just gonna be a negative nancy about every little detail, then this place isn’t for you.

Buddy's Crab House & Oyster Bar offers a variety of seafood options, including grilled and fried mahi, steamers, and coconut shrimp. The menu provides a range of choices, though the consistency of seasoning may vary. The restaurant accommodates large groups and late orders, and the prices are around $88 for three adults and a kid's meal.
The restaurant's atmosphere is described as cool, and the view from the deck is beautiful. Customers enjoy the great food and relaxing beachside setting, especially during peak tourist season when the view and vibe make for a memorable experience. However, some guests have been disappointed with the seafood quality, particularly the steamers and oysters. The crab legs are described as "okay-ish," and there may be limited options for children who do not enjoy seafood.
While the drinks are said to be good, some customers have reported issues with the service, including concerns about handling payments. There have also been reports of inappropriate language and behavior from employees, which may not be suitable for families. On special nights like Music BINGO, the staff are praised for their excellent service, and the atmosphere can be lively and fun. Food quality can vary depending on the season and kitchen staff, with some dishes like hushpuppies being served cold or not made fresh, which can be disappointing. Overall, visitors say they will return, especially in season, to enjoy the view and atmosphere.
