This is a spot in Hollywood, Florida, with amazing views of the Intracoastal Waterway. You can sit inside or outside near the water.
Never been here but always wanted to try. Came here with a friend for the Stone Crab season.
The waiter comes by with a platter of seafood and meat selections. I felt the stone crabs were a bit frozen previously. They were so cold to touch and eat. I felt they lacked freshness, especially given the prices for the all-you-can-eat options. The service was good, as were the drinks & the potato dish, and the oysters we ordered as a side.
It’s only valet parking for $10.

So plan accordingly.

Stone crab claws large sizes, cracked for you. Easy to eat! Delicious. Clam chowder was excellent as well as the superior wait service. We had fabulous Grouper sandwich. Love it we’ll be back. Valet easy to park, too. I

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 Stars — A Memorable Meal, With Room to Improve

Visited Billy’s Stone Crab for the first time while attending a work conference, and overall it was a very enjoyable dining experience.
We arrived on a busy night, and the restaurant clearly had a full house — which speaks to its popularity — but it also showed in the service.

Our server was friendly and welcoming, yet the pacing of the meal felt uneven. Our appetizer arrived immediately, which was great, but then there was a long wait before the entrees came out. During that lull, water glasses stayed empty longer than they should have, and we needed to flag down staff a couple of times for refills and additional drinks.

The food, however, was the star of the evening. The smoked fish appetizer was the best surprise of the meal — a standout that set high expectations. For mains, we sampled the signature stone crab, a rich lobster bisque, and the Bretone Grouper — sautéed with mushrooms, shallots, capers, crab meat, and jumbo shrimp in a lemon-butter and white-wine sauce. Each dish was flavorful and generously portioned, with the grouper in particular showcasing a lovely balance of textures and seasonings.

In summary, Billy’s Stone Crab delivers excellent seafood with strong flavors and thoughtful preparations, but service flow on a very busy evening lagged just enough to impact the overall experience. With slightly better attention to pacing and refills, this could easily be a 5-star outing.

Would recommend for seafood lovers — especially the smoked fish and stone crab.

Absolutely incredible first experience at Billy’s Stone Crab in Hollywood! We went for dinner on Sunday and everything—from the food to the service to the overall vibe—was perfection.

From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcomed. Michael and Camilla at the host stand were warm, friendly, and set the tone for an amazing night right away. Lina behind the bar was fantastic—knowledgeable, attentive, and made great drinks that kicked the evening off perfectly.

And then there was Brandon—our server—who truly made the night unforgettable. Phenomenal is an understatement. He was personable, attentive without hovering, genuinely fun to talk to, and clearly passionate about making sure we had the best possible experience. As first-timers, we couldn’t have asked for a better server.

The food was outstanding, but the desserts deserve their own standing ovation. The key lime pie and the baklava cheesecake were to die for—hands down some of the best desserts we’ve ever had.

Billy’s Stone Crab delivered on every level. Amazing food, incredible service, and an atmosphere that made the whole night feel special. We’ll absolutely be back—and recommending it to everyone we know!

Enjoyed appetizers and drinks. Halfway through the meal we stopped paying attention to prices,that’s how phenomenal the food was. The lobster bisque was unbelievable and we couldn’t get enough of the calamari. Richard was are server, he never made a mistake and answered are foolish questions about the food with a smile on his face. 5/5 definitely stop on in!!!

We could not DREAM of a better dining experience!!
Food: sublime! Of course the seafood was the best of the best, but even the baklava cheesecake was the best dessert of my life!
Atmosphere: magical! Sitting on the water with a private cabana rocker with fairy light shrubbery and curtains
Service: beyond perfect! Our server Richard knows his stuff! Made recommendations tailored to us, was very attentive without being overbearing. Would recommend to anyone!

Large seafood tower was amazing fresh and did not disappoint. Great conch fritters and King Crabs were so wonderful . We had amazing service from our server Michael. Our reservations were on a Friday night and one of the last available. When leaving, I accidentally left my credit card in the payment billfold and called the next morning. It was kept safe until we came the next day to pick it up. I recommend the smoked old fashioned for a cocktail. We were a group of 6 and each had different orders and Michael helped with wonderful recommendations. We have been here many times and will most definitely be back.

Seafood tower was overall excellent. High class service. Dining on the water in the private booths was a very intimate and highly recommended option. It’s certainly not cheap but one of those experiences that’s hard to pass up.

Great spot on the water! Billy Stone’s has a really pretty location right on the water, which made the whole experience even better. The food was delicious and we loved that they started us off with free bread as an appetizer. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and it was very good, and my friend got the mahi sandwich and absolutely loved it. Our server went above and beyond super attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Flipped coin between GGs (recommended by locals) & here – food average even if the steak was cooked properly. Photo attached was second attempt after waiting 20mins in between first one & this, rare to med rare at best – center was very cool. First one so well done no flavor, Dry & minimal pink color. Sever very nice, took it off the bill at least but overall very disappointing service. $125 for cheapest bottle of red wine, potatoes, a salad & small lobster tail that my wife ordered. Wouldn’t go back.
