The Crab Stop II

The food was more than amazing. The seasoning on the crab legs and on the potatoes was so delicious. The price was beyond cheap. The service was great. This place is hidden gem.

Very good with friendly staff. Good portions at a very reasonable price. Here on vacation and wanted sea food and wasn’t disappointed. Variety of combos you can choose from. Complimentary corn fritters with powder sugar as well.

Great customer service. Friendly people who put a face and name to your order. I even asked where to go find a little adult fun (bar) and they were kind enough to give me a few suggestions. I had the fried whiting sandwich which was seasoned well and yummy. I also had the lobster bisque that I didn’t enjoy as much. It was a bit salty and could have used more lobster and lobster flavor also less cream. Overall good experience. I recommend. My suggestion would be to ask to taste the bisque before you put in your order. I usually do that but failed to this time. Oh! I was also given a complimentary corn fritter, it was yummy! Try those.

First off — plenty of free parking here! We came just before the big dinner rush and were seated right away. The booths are old, sagging, and need to be replaced… But you forget about them once you get food. Probably the cheapest crab for how tasty it is! Great value! We got crawfish/​crayfish appetizer (delicious), 6 jumbo blue crabs, and 6 large blue crabs… Plus rice, potatoes, and corn. The server told us that we needed that much… You really don’t for 2 people! Next time we’d just go 6 jumbo crabs, crayfish, and a couple sides. My one complaint is that we could NOT get ahold of our server and we had to correct them on our order. BUT… Their garlic butter crab seasoning mixture is so good and you can’t beat the price so we will be back

Had a horrible experience here. Food was mediocre at best. My wife ordered the conch fritters and didn’t like them so she past them on to me, since the crab cakes I ordered were very small I still had plenty of room left to eat her meal. They were disgusting and we both love conch fritters. The waitress came by and dropped off the check and just said sorry but didn’t make any adjustments to the bill. When she came back I said, we didn’t eat them cause we didn’t like them we don’t feel we should pay for them and she said she’ll see what she could do. To my surprise the manager comes over and asks why we didn’t like them and said we wasted his food and should expect different tastes at different places. I was stunned at the customer service we received! We were very disappointed and will never go back!

Support the Little Man and don’t go to a Big Chain.
The Crab Stop was delish. OMG, blue crab was tender, sweet corn, yummy sausage, large shrimp, and golden potatoes with lots of butter in one bowl. It was a bowl of buttery, spicy, garlic heaven. If you dont like garlic, butter, or a bit of spice, this place is not for you. If you love all 3, then stop by and grab some crab.
We ordered The Chelsea. This bowl of heaven was enough for 4 people.
FYI: Put on the bib and ask for extra wet wipes.

SO MUCH CRAB! I love this place! Pricing is great for the portions, and the taste is incredible. My boyfriend Chris absolutely loves shrimp while I’ll just eat them now and again, so we added some of their jumbo shrimp to our giant bucket for him. But holy cow were they just so delicious, we had to add extra since I kept eating them all. We ended up getting 7 crab clusters, 18 shrimp, potatoes, sausage and garlic boiled eggs in our bucket. You need to eat here!

You must love crab or shrimp to enjoy the menu but everything was really really good. Place was packed!

Thus was a great experience! Came here with no idea what to expect. .based on reviews. so very pleasantly surprised! ! Ordered ½ order medium garlic crabs. it is work to get to meat but so very worth it. DELICIOUS flavor, tasty moist crab. Our server Alyn was very helpful and informative (she showed me how to get into the crab!) And the helper Trin was equally sweet and helpful. I would definitely come here again if in Daytona! !

If I could give 0 stars I would. Worst service ever. Waited a good 15 minutes to get our initial drink order. Brought food out without utensils, told us we had to wait to get them. Food was cold by the time they were ready. Loud environment, rude service. Walked out, didn’t even eat.

I’ve had blue crab up in Maryland numerous times. These guys give the people up north a run for their money!
The crab is delicious and I would highly recommend you check this place out. I will, however, warn you that it does not look like a five star restaurant, but it tastes like one.

I ordered a catfish sandwich that was still frozen — not edible. The lobster bisque was very tasty and very much like the kind you get out of a can. Guys you really need to take your catfish off the menu. It is terrible. Or teach your chef how to properly cook it. On the good side the crab legs were as usual out of this world and drenched in delicious garlic.

We came here with the group of 9 people, decided to choose the biggest portion of the restaurant which cost $ 150 and it was pretty worth it. First, the resraurant serve us their Corn Fritter with Powdered Sugar and it was very tasty, yummyyy.
Our food was carried out inside the wood bowl, we all 9 people sweating out by the generous of this dish. I like the Maryland Sauce, the Shrimp and also the Crab, very things except the potato but other family family member said the potato tasted good. The portion was too big that we cannot finish it all, such a waste but I enjoyed food in this restaurant. I like the service in here, all the waitress are so fast and friendly.
Definitely will comeback but for sure we will order a smaller portion lol

Not a fan. The crab had way too much garlic butter seasoning on it, so all you taste is the garlic butter. Unfortunately they ran out of the large blue crab, so we ended up ordering the snow crab legs instead. I don’t think my standard and expectations are unreasonable but from the reviews I’ve read, I was disappointed. Server not too attentive, leaving the table filled with empty dishes. FYI: The crab cracker was rusted and leaves a blackish– gray greasy residue on your hand. Would not return.

Out here with one of my friends for vacation and decided to make a stop here. The food and the portions are on point! Customer service is great and I heard it was the spot to hit when your in Daytona.
I got the seafood rice and instantly this became one of my go to spots when I’m out here. Blue crab, snow crab, shrimp, and veggies all together in a bowl of life. Yes a bowl of life

Phenomenal seafood dinner. Do yourself a favor. Make the short drive away from the beach. You won’t find a better meal for the money. We went with their «Big 3» combo (snow crab, blue crab, and shrimp) and added potatoes and corn. Wish we would have found them earlier in the week.

OHHH MAN!!! This is one of my all time favorite places to eat in Daytona. There is another location on MLK in Daytona, that is the original one, same great food, however, this location caters to a larger crowd. The place is spacious where you can sit and eat comfortably. The prices are reasonable and the service is usually great. I usually come with my babes, but he was absent on this visit. On my most recent visit I ordered the snow snack pack (see pic for details). I did request extra garlic butter, but they over seasoned all of the food. It was a little too salty for my liking. However, after coming to them for years, it was a first so I will let them slide. It was bike week in Daytona recently and everyone had the same idea on making it to the Crab Stop. The place was swarmed with bikers. I had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it.
Although the customer service is usually great and friendly, one worker (can’t recall her name) was a little edgy and would not allow me to sit in and eat because the dining room closes at 9:30pm, keep in mind, I was in there since 9:00 or so. I originally requested a to go order, but once I received my order, I decided to eat inside, but that was a problem for Ms. Thang. Oh well. She gets a pass too this time. Yes I will visit again!
Please stop by if you every visit Daytona and want some good seafood. You will not be disappointed.

So because the camera on my phone is bipolar, I was not able to snap any pictures to post :(But man of man is this place cash money!!!
My mom and I popped in after a concert at the performing arts center less than a mile down the street and boy were we happy we did. For about $ 20 we got the crab balls, and a 5 piece fish/​3 piece shrimp combo with potatoes and coleslaw. Ahhhhhh! Delicious!!! The sauce that came with the crab balls was sooooooo darn good. The fish and shrimp were full of flavor and all food is cooked to order and piping hot! They also provide complimentary corn fritters with each combo which were a nice touch.
This place is seriously good and if your in the area you better stop and get cha some!

From the ownership to the daily management, this restaurant has THE best customer service! When you add the freshness, flavor, and overall quality of the food to the equation, you find that this restaurant is THE best place to eat in Dayton!
As someone only in the area for a single night, I struck gold when I entered this seafood paradise. I ordered A lot (7 crabs, 1 cluster, 6 fried shrimp, and 6 crab cake balls) because being from Colorado, I wanted to try EVERYTHING! I was not disappointed!
A SPECIAL THANK YOU to the owner — Mr. Oliver. He graciously GAVE me this huge meal for free when he found out that I lost my credit card and was not able pay. The next time I return to Daytona, I will certainly be back!

Found via Unilocal while in Daytona for work. Great service and recommendations. Had the crab balls which you can also get as a dinner.
Fried shrimp and potatoes were great per wait staff.
Don’t under estimate the hole in the wall.
