Apple’s place is always 5 stars! I’ve been coming here for years and it’s never been a miss! Her business is has been growing so much and the service is still great. The crabs are huge! And I had the stuffed lobster, *chefs kiss* it was great. Apples special garlic butter is still some of the best to this day! Thanks for a great experience! Oh did I mention the outside area was so nice and soothing. A overall great place to eat, and enjoy your family!

How can you miss this most famous spot for seafood? Cook your seafood right off the boat! Their garlic butter tastes fantastic. Blue crab, lobster, green mussels ,large shrimp and many more to choose from. The is so fresh it’s sweet and the shell is crispy and very thin you can eat it as a whole. It’s nice to spend a whole afternoon with friends under the big . We talked, cracked some crabs and drank together. It definitely brings happiness to me evey time I visit. Crabs are so meaty you only see the meat when you open them.

Ms. Apples Crab Shack is a spot that I frequent with friends and family. We drive up from Miami to get some great seafood by the bay, normally picking live blue crabs for them to steam, as well as a couple pounds of shrimp and other goodies like mussels and their delicious butter. All in all, it’s a wonderful spot to take friends and family for a relaxed seafood adventure!
Here, you can pick from prepared meals sold at a fixed price that you can then microwave onsite or take home to enjoy later, or have them cook fresh seafood depending on what’s available that day. It’s best to call ahead for availability, especially for their popular blue crabs. It’s also definitely to your advantage to arrive there earlier in the day to avoid possible crowds!
All of the seating is outdoors on picnic tables with a handful of hand washing stations, paper towels, and paper table covers available for use (must use paper table covers if you plan to eat here!). We normally bring our own sides and such with us to help bolster the meal, but some of their dishes like the seafood rice and egg with crab meat can serve you well too.

This is NOT a restaurant – just be aware of that going in. It is more of a seafood market where you can eat if you choose to. We went with family on a Saturday night. It was incredibly busy and that wouldn’t have been so bad but there was little to no organization of the customers when it came to placing orders. No line, no real order and people were getting impatient and frustrated.
The seating areas are nice and have brown paper to lay out on your tables as well as little hammers built into the tables to help you crack crab legs and such.
We got the shrimp and they were good if you don’t mind peeling your own reheated shrimp.
If you’re from New York and miss the salty, no-nonsense, take it or leave it kind of customer service, this place is for you.
Desserts were tasty, as was the corn on the cob. Would definitely like this place more and be able to recommend it to others if there was some some of organization and a little more clarity on how things work.

There’s a wait but it’s worth it! This place gets busy, you pick live blue crabs and fresh shrimp and they cook it to your liking. You can have blue crab whole, cleaned, season them mild or spicy. Shrimp is fresh/frozen can be with head or no head, with garlic and butter or plain. They also offer other items such as clams, lobster, snow crab ect. And some dishes precooked ready to heat. Honestly it’s a little hectic but they serve delicious food! Definitely recommend!! A little tip you can bring your own side dishes and drinks and eat there.

We came down to Florida for the holidays and by far this is the best place ever. We went twice while we were down there. Once 3 days after getting to Florida and once before we left. The snow crab is the best I’ve ever had and by far the sweetest and the garlic stuff they put on top with butter omg just makes it. Love this place wish we had one in Chicago

THE BEST PLACE TO EAT CRABS!!! I highly recommend going to eat here! You get to pick your own crabs and they also cook and clean them for you. I always get my crabs spicy, it has the best flavor. I also love their deviled crabs! Definitely recommend going here to eat! But they are closed on Sunday’s and Mondays so don’t waste gas going out there on those days! Follow them on Facebook to keep up with their schedule because they sometimes close unexpectedly as well.

My family’s favorite seafood. We get 4lbs of snow crab and the garlic butter on the shrimp. Man, I want some right now! I enjoyed this business and I will be back. The customer service is top notch with easily accessible employees and a friendly atmosphere. Parking is a breeze. This is a recommended business.
