Was looking for a place on the ocean to eat around 10:00 a.m. on a Friday and discovered Crabby Joe’s Deck & grill on Google. So glad we did! The food was amazing. The atmosphere was so wonderful and fun. our waitress was terrific, her name was Bethany and she was adorable and very good at her job. Made us feel so special. And I cannot say enough about the food. we got the Gator bites and the red shrimp peel them and eat them, both were superior, just mouth watering. Then we got the crab cakes with sweet potato fries and the shrimp and grits Creole. I held the on aundoui, because I get indigestion, I know my shrimp and grits with all the vegetables and mushrooms on it was really good . The cocktails were superior, very tasty, I really felt like I was in the Caribbean or something. Just really a great place, highly recommend, it would be great for families too.The prices are quite reasonable as well.

The good:
Our server Tim is good, very pleasant and professional. My Crabby Joe’s beer is solid, as were the clam chowders.
The ok:
The shrimp scampi was decent. I wanted the pasta value meal tonight, sadly there wasn’t much flavor, just butter. It was filling though so mission accomplished.
The not good:
The crab legs were overcooked and tough to get meat out of. The kitchen went was overboard with the old bay on them, as well as the corn and potatoes which were inedible.
Overall, fun little tourist trap. Don’t expect much in line of the food and enjoy the views and sounds of the waves crashing beneath you.

We have been here 3 times now and every single visit has been great! The cocktails, food and service are all really great! And they have great value options, that include a really good dessert!
I love being out over the water, the views are spectacular

Atmosphere is top notch, over the water, and pretty new (post hurricane reno). Staff lacked any exuberance – which is fine – but some enthusiasm goes a long way. The food left much to be desired. no “seafood” joint is taking fish seriously if they serve it was cheap cocktail sauce is a plastic container like it’s sweet n sour from McDonald’s. But the location is great and chances are you’ll find a meal that you like.

Crabby Joe’s was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The food was phenomenal, especially the seafood—it was so fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Our table started with the alligator bites, which were a huge hit. For our meals, we had the shrimp and crab steamer in the Caribbean Rum seasoning and the poke tacos, and every bite was outstanding.
We shared a slice of key lime pie for dessert, and it was the perfect ending to an already incredible meal—so delicious!
The atmosphere truly sets this place apart. Dining on a pier with the waves crashing underneath the restaurant creates such a unique and cool vibe. On top of that, our waitress was awesome and made the experience even better with great service and a friendly attitude.
Couldn’t have asked for a better meal or service. We will definitely be back!

We always eat here when we come down. This is a neighborhood staple for us. As usual the food was spectacular. I got the Cajun shrimp basket and my boyfriend got the shrimp and grits both were amazing. I honestly ended up eating a lot of his shrimp and grits because they were that good. The Bloody Mary or “mother Mary” is 100% worth it it was delicious. My two friends got the key lime chicken and the fish n chips – both were great! We also got the coconut shrimp and gator bites as an appetizer. Everything on the menu here is great. Our server Jackie was super nice & made sure we were checked on and taken care of. The food came out fast and hot!! We spent about $20-$40 a person because we wanted to try a lot of different things. But one portion will suffice if you’re hungry. We will be back thank you so much!!

We ate at several restaurants in Daytona Beach, but went back to Crabby Joe’s because the food was excellent (we had crab cakes, coconut shrimp and fried fish with slaw and french fries), the service and atmosphere was great and the prices were very reasonable. We loved the beach bar feel and the pier location. They also have some really cute stuff for sale, like tee shirts and crabby refrigerator magnets. Can’t wait to come back in 2026!!

I have loved Crabby Joe’s for years, and tonight was no exception. The view, atmosphere, and Crabby Joe’s Lager were perfect as usual. Our fish tacos and hot wings were excellent, and the side of fresh green beans were worthy of a five-star restaurant. Most notable, however, was the exceptional service. Our server, Kim, was amazing and made our special evening complete! Thank you!!!
