Good menu, prices are a bit on the higher side. Server was very pleasant and attentive. Great location right off the beach.

Very nice first visit here. Food was all excellent. Service was outstanding by our server Cassie. We had the Alaskan King Crab Legs x 2 orders which were awesome. Wife ordered the Bairdi Crab which was recommended and it was actually better than the King Crab, both were amazing though. Would highly recommend trying this location despite the negative reviews we read. Everything was great!!

Great hot crab dip is incredible with the fried pita bread. Crabcake were exceptional. And the Cajun chicken pasta is still my favorite

My family was looking for a restaurant with food we all could eat since some are pickier than others. The Crab Trap satisfied that requirement. We went there around noon and found parking right away. The parking seemed adequate but it might fill up with those not going to the restaurant.
We were given a choice of indoor or outdoor dining since the restaurant wasn’t full. Our host gave my child a bucket to keep that included a shovel, wicki sticks with the menu.
While we waited for our food, we went to the play area and additional outdoor seating. The play area was roped off, I assumed it was because it has been very hot.
Food was delicious. I liked that there was a spaghetti available for the kids since most other seafood restaurants we’ve been to don’t offer it.
Service was great.

As a local seafood enthusiast who’s somehow managed to avoid The Crab Trap until now, I had high hopes based on glowing recommendations from friends. Spoiler alert: it was an experience.
From the moment we walked in, the hostess and a young sidekick seemed more captivated by the latest episode on their phones than by actual guests — a distraction that lasted our entire visit. Maybe they were live-tweeting our arrival? Who knows.
Our server, thankfully, made a swift appearance and took our drink and appetizer order. We aimed for crab claws, but alas, they were out of stock, so we went with the hot crab and shrimp dip instead. If you found crab or shrimp in there, congratulations — I must’ve been eating cheese fondue pretending it was seafood. The dip was more lukewarm cheese overload than ocean delight.
My husband went for the Cap’n Platter, while I had the blackened Redfish étouffée. His fish was as dry as my sense of humor after this meal, and the fries were cold enough to challenge the seafood’s moisture level. When he sent the fries back, they returned quickly — looking suspiciously like they had a second swim in the fryer. The limp, oily fries were less “crisp sidekick” and more “sad potato.” I also might add most of the lemon slices we were served looked as though they were already squeezed. It was an unsettling and weird sight to behold.
My redfish portion was small and dry, barely making a splash on the plate. The étouffée sauce was decent but leaned heavily on the salty side. Instead of being served over rice, the wild rice blend came alongside—and felt like a sad, dry afterthought. The greens tasted like they’d taken a wrong turn from a fancy garden party to a cold cafeteria.
To be frank, when a dish is pushing $30, I expect at least edible food that doesn’t look like the kitchen crew checked out early. This meal might pass muster with tourists who just want a quick bite, but for locals who know their seafood, it was a disappointment. The photos don’t lie.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I’m kindly giving The Crab Trap a 2 — mostly for the effort by wait staff to greet us quickly.

This location looks and tastes like a fast food chain. My shrimp was obviously frozen at one point. The waitress was very kind and attentive. I would not recommend coming here though. The Destin location is phenomenal but this one is awful.

This first time visiting we enjoyed the food, Logan our server was laid back and cool. It was around 7:00 on a Tuesday night not crowded. We spent around $100.00 on cocktails. I had the fried jumbo shrimp and fries, and crab trap punch a friend had broiled shrimp skewered with two sides and punch.

The food here is very average. My grouper was supposed to have a crunchy cornmeal coating and it was not at all crispy, but soggy. The fish didn’t taste particularly fresh either. Server with overcooked rice. The atmosphere would be better if sitting outside with the ocean view. Our secret was nice.

Can I just say that since we went there…I do nothing but dream about their sweet lil muffin things you get. The RAW OYSTERS still have my mouth watering! To their wonderful drinks (loved the take home cups), to delicious food, and wonderful top notch service. You can eat inside, deck-side, or straight on the beach! Oh did I mention they have a playground on the beach for the kiddos…and a beach tiki bar!! All I needed was a tent and I’d probably ask for a change in address and maybe a JOB!! Cause lord knows I want that employee discount so I can eat my here everyday. If it weren’t for the Blue Angels and the $100 parking fee I would have gotten to eat there last Friday. Our fault for not checking event schedule.

We decided to give this place another try, as we had high hopes based on what we saw on their menu. Sadly, we were disappointed. My wife had the shrimp poboy that was basically fried shrimp on a dry bun with lettuce, tomato and cold fries. I had the red fish etouffee. The fish was ok, but the etouffee was obviously not fresh. The server was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was uninviting as half the restaurant had the chairs sitting on the tables. We won’t make this $75 mistake again.
