OH MAH GOD BACK AT IT AGAIN!!! They stay busy! I got the #10! House sauce spicy! She was so busy she accidentally gave me the wrong order easy fix (she threw in a free cluster for the inconvenience) Order was made quick! I will be back!
So so good! I got the 2 snow crab, potatoes, and corn dinner and it was delish! Highly recommend!
So delicious!!! Everything was fresh, hot, and fast. Regular customers were friendly and helped me with suggestions of their favorites since it was my first time. The woman that took my order, possibly the owner was sweet and took care in her food. Hidden local gem. 100 percent will be back.
Wow wow wow! I cannot recommend this place enough. You wouldn't know it just by looking at the outside, but this has got to be the best crab boil in the St. Pete area - there's quality AND quantity in every order. Fifteen years strong, this location has been providing crazy good flavor in multiple Tampa Bay/St. Pete locations. This location in particular has more parking than space inside. It made it easy to get a spot in line right away, and there was two fans keeping us cool. The couple running everything also happened to be from my mom's home country - so cool! Someone else recommended getting their "famous lemonade" for $1.99, and let me tell you, it's the BEST lemonade I've ever had. DON'T skip out. After some intense deliberation, my mom and decide to go with combo #11: 2 Snow Crabs 12 Shrimp 6 Sausages 12 Mussels 3 Corn 8 Potatoes For $41.99 First of all, what a steal! I only got medium spice, but whatever is in their garlic sauce made everything taste out of this world, even after a fifteen minute drive home with the takeout container. While we wanted to finish everything, the potatoes got the best of us at the end. Some side notes: you can't sit down to eat here, and there definitely isn't the staff capacity to cater to large groups on a walk-in basis. The menu is a little hard to fully grasp upon first site because of how many options there are and how spread out it is across the wall, but take your time and find the combo that's perfect for you!
Holy cow!!! That's all I can say. Ordered from here on a whim and was blown away. The food is incredible. We fed our family of 5 for a little over $100 and everyone loved it. Wish we were staying in St Pete's longer.
I dont go anywhere else when i want a seafood tray. Snow crabs, mussels and fish sandwiches here are the best. Good, honest, hard working family owned establishment. They have some very good lemonade and iced tea! Best drinks in town if you ask me. The combinations are endless and the whole wall is covered with items. Cant go wrong here!
I am SO loyal to Krispy Krab. Since I moved back here after school, this is the only place I will go to get seafood trays. There's a lot of crab places in St. Pete, but the others don't compare. Krispy Krab by far has the best garlic sauce/crab juice flavor. I'm not a person who's huge on spice, but there's just enough kick in their mild sauce that makes it perfect. Not too much, not too little. They have the option to get your order spicy as well. Now it's not any kind of fancy establishment. Expect your typical crab shack setup, but it is pretty quaint in there. If you're there at a busier time, like the weekend, and there's a line, you will be standing outside. I have gone around 5/6pm on weekdays and haven't had to wait long. Prices and portions are reasonable. Rarely do I ever actually get crabs (I typically get what's pictured), but when I do, those are great too.
I'm from Georgia and love to get seafood while on vacay. Stopped at the Krispy Krab to get their infamous blue crabs. The place is small so as soon as you enter you're at the counter to order. There were many people inside so it was kinda hot, there is no organized ordering process so we asked one another if they had placed their order to make sure we weren't jumping the line. Placed my order for a #1, paid and sat in my car until I thought it was ready, wasn't told a specific time. Food- if you like spicy garlicky this is for you, it wasn't bad but I prefer garlicky, buttery and lemony. There was a lot to eat and I was able to share with my husband. Again, it wasn't bad so I'm pondering a revisit.
