Ate here mid October on a Sunday early evening. Was a terrible storm, so had to eat inside. The whole place is a thatched roof…and it leaked, alot. There was actually water dripping on our table, others, and in the bathroom.lol that was crazy.
It was busy in there but we got our drinks and food very quickly. The beer was ice cold, the mixed drinks were fantastic, best onion rings I’ve had, and a pound of f crab legs that I could no way finish. The band was really good. Sounded just like the Cars. Other thing I really didn’t like was where we had to sit because it was crowded, was the floor. The way this place is built is kinda like on an old dock, and every time someone walked past our table, the whole floor was bouncing like a rollercoaster.lol
It was interesting at first but really got annoying after awhile. I’ll go back if I visit Port Richey again. The prices on the crab were much cheaper than everywhere else.

stopped in for dinner on a Friday evening around 5 PM and were seated right away—major bonus! We had our pup with us and were happy to find the place super dog-friendly. We grabbed one of the picnic tables under their covered patio, which worked out fine, though the seats weren’t the comfiest. A backrest and a higher foot bar would’ve made a big difference—my 5’6” legs were actually dangling!
But let’s talk about the real star of the night: the food. Everything we ordered hit the spot, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. The fried pickles were delicious—crispy and flavorful without being overly salty like most places. My husband raved about the calamari—light, crunchy, and not the least bit rubbery (a rare win!).
We split an order of wings and fries, and they were chef’s kiss. We went with medium sauce plus sides of ranch and hot. The wings were perfectly crispy outside and juicy inside—just how we like them—and the medium heat was mild enough for my spice-sensitive husband. Even our dog got in on the action and happily munched on some chicken. Another bonus was their dog menu options. Such a surprise.
Just as we were wrapping up, the live music kicked off and the band was actually really good. Judging by the folks who showed up just to see them, they definitely have a local following. Next time, we’ll plan to come later—closer to sunset—since the heat was no joke and the fans weren’t quite cutting it.

The food was good for the most part. This was our second night there. The first night Thursday dinner and service were phenomenal. Wonderful waitress always checking on us, joking with us. Then we went back on Saturday. Our waitress was slow we couldn’t get silverware. Took 4 different people before we got some. A couple of our entrees were wrong. She never asked if we wanted refills. There were no napkins on the table we finally had to grab some from another table. She never checked after our food came to see if everything was ok. But she was Johnny on the spot when it came time to deliver the check. She then said some very rude comments when we left because we left a tip comparable to our service

This place is an absolute gem! Loved it so much!! We pulled up in our boat and found a spot on the dock to escape the thunderstorm and everyone was so welcoming and nice and the service was excellent . Had to try the crab legs and they did not disappoint!! Side salad was HUGE and not even that pricey, shared it with my other half. Wonderful live music from a talented singer preforming hits from mostly yacht rock and oldies but the vibe was amazing. Very attentive and friendly vibe. We even learned the back story of the hurricane that went through and the shark that hangs near the water. We had such a nice afternoon, we are so grateful! Keep up the great work!

Seen, heard and finally visited the infamous Cotee River Crab Shack. Awesome little gem that you can visit by boat, golf cart, or car. The one and only complain is there’s too many people that smoke and the so called “family section” where there’s no smoking has no pretty views and the atmosphere kinda stuffy.
Now off to the server who was awesome. The food was incredibly delicious and tasty. The onion rings delicious and the dipping sauce was amazing. The Fish & Chips the best I’ve had. The tartar sauce appeared to be homemade and delicious. The burger was tasty as well. The beer ice cold.
If you’re looking for a cool Keys type vibe check these guys out.

On the lovely Cottee river. Florida at its best. We arrived via Sea Doo, and plenty of dock space. Hayley was our server, and she made sure we were well taken care of.

Great atmosphere and great service. Went on a Wednesday at 6 pm and was served immediately. Our waitress was a vet tech, forgot her name but so social and nice and always checking on us to make sure we were good. Food was good also, burger was the only alright of the bunch the rest was great and cheap.

Mostly covered, outdoor eating areas along the Cotee River. The food overall is really good, but can be hit or miss. They have live music and good drinks. The river always provides entertainment, boats, dolphin, manatees and so many birds ! It’s our new favorite spot for ourselves and to bring guests. They have cozy tables for 2, and tables for large parties as well. Lol , Watch out for the slanted tables… It’s really laid-back, and sometimes service is excellent, sometimes not so excellent.. but overall better than many places we’ve been. The restrooms are just ok.

My friend and I came to the crab shack today and the hostess was very sweet and nice but that and the live music was the only good thing. when we came in, we waited for 20 minutes to be greeted to get our drinks. then after that waited for 45 minutes to find another server to get our food in. after that it toke her 10 minutes to get our food in. She didnt communicate with us whether she had a big party till after we got our food. then when we got our food, the butter was warmer than our crab legs. it was a nice view but the food was not worth the wait.
