About Crabbs Tropical Treat

Crabbs Tropical Treat is a restaurant that offers a great dining experience with friendly staff and a variety of food options. Known for its delicious strawberry shortcake Sundae, made with strawberry sauce, fresh strawberries, soft serve ice cream, and shortcake, this iconic establishment has been a popular spot for 73 years. The restaurant features several seating areas, including a large shelter for groups and families, and quieter spaces. It is also famous for its neon Swirl Cone and attracts both locals and tourists. While the portions may look small, the taste is phenomenal, especially the hamburger delight, fried chicken, and homemade coleslaw. The homemade french fries are delicious, and the Fat Boy sandwich with its pink sauce is a must-try. The staff is generally courteous and professional, but there have been occasional reports of snippy service. Weekends can get busy, so parking may require patience, but the wait is worth it for the hot, delicious food and some of the best ice cream milkshakes or malts around. The restaurant offers outdoor seating and is kid-friendly, with a nostalgic car hop vibe where diners can order through a speaker and have their food delivered to their car. It is recommended to bring cash as the restaurant does not accept credit cards, although there is an ATM available.

Best burgers! Look forward to opening day.

I just wanted to say, I have a lot of food allergies, so when I order a sandwich I order it without the roll. I always request that it be cut up because you all don't offer plastic knives. It's so hard to try to cut it or pull it apart with those little plastic forks you provide. Well today, we place our order and I tell the girl at the window to make sure they cut it up, my fiance also told her. Well it came out, NOT cut up so I took it over to the door. A girl asked what I wanted,...read full review

We don't believe Tropical Treat is owned by the Crabbs family any longer. We've been there over 60 years with never a complaint. Due to health issues, one travels a far distance now to get large orders of food and bring it back home to dine. Today they gave us the wrong order. A well-run restaurant accepts faults. Sadly and disheartening that did not occur now. 😟
