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.

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.
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!
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!
