Crabby's Beachside Pavilion

TQ our server was the best!!!! If you’re coming down here ask for him, so attentive and he put a bib on me! 😂😂 Food was fantastic!!! The Bairdi Crab is hands down my favorite. So sweet and succulent it melts in your mouth!!! Hubby had the scallops and said they were out of this world. Sassy Jacci doesn’t cook like she used to on Ohio. 🤪🤪🤪

The ambiance is nice, and we were lucky to get awesome live music on the patio. The bartenders taking care of us were wonderful. The cold peel & eat shrimp were not that great. The oysters were also just okay. We both got the fresh catch which was red grouper. The French fries are super good here, and they’re not coated in wheat flour for those gluten free. The coleslaw wasn’t great, so I recommend ordering a different side. Overall, the food was just okay… I wouldn’t go back.

Great food and service! We went for both lunch and dinner during our trip and enjoyed both meals. The fish tacos were just okay but everything else was great! Best pina colada I’ve had in a while (and wayyyy better than Frenchys). The peel and eat shrimp, trigger fish nuggets, coconut fried shrimp, and fried hog fish were 10/10! Just as good if not better than Frenchys and never the long wait for a table!

Last night I had the pleasure of a stunning Clearwater Beach sunset, a beer, a delicious meal and great live music at Crabby's Beachside Pavilion. I've enjoyed sunsets and great meals at the old Palm Pavillion since my first visit in 1974. Crabby's Beachside Pavillion bought out the original owners and I can attest they took a great beach bar and made it better. I had the tuna bowl and honestly the tuna was perfectly grilled alongside half an avocado and tasty rice. My congratulations to Beachside Hospitality Group for not messing with a good thing. :)

🌴 Palm Pavilion Beachside Grill & Bar – Clearwater Beach 🌅 We had an amazing dinner at Palm Pavilion last night, one of Clearwater Beach’s true gems! The atmosphere couldn’t have been better, beachfront dining, live music drifting through the air, and the perfect view of the sunset over the Gulf. The staff was friendly and the service was great. We ordered the coconut shrimp (crispy and golden perfection!) and a grilled shrimp bowl that was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Washed it all down with a crisp Angry Orchard Hard Cider while the sky turned pink and gold. If you’re looking for a laid-back spot with good food, beach vibes, and live music just steps from the sand, Palm Pavilion is the place to be. Highly recommend catching sunset here it’s pure Florida magic. 🌞🌴🍤🎶 Parking is close, but can be hard to find during peak hours.
