What an awesome place... A place where you want to go back to again & again. From the food & eating with your sand in the feet. To coming back from a dip in the beautiful, Ft. Myers Beach waters. Dip, eat & enjoy, from breakfast to dinner, a Fun, Friendly, place to share with all.... Thank you Caroline, for sharing The Salty Crab Bar & Grill with us. We love you.....
Salty Crab was an excellent place to eat, our best dinner by far. Tyler The bartender was an awesome bartender, making drinks the right way! Peyton our waiter has a bubbly attitude and was very eager. Peyton focused on both of us. Talking with Jodi the manager, she was fabulous as well, she interacted with all guest. Thank you for a Marvelous experience while vacationing in Ft Myers!!
So I've taken two days to ponder the experience I had here ... I'm still above and beyond impressed by Cameron our server, and the quality, freshness, and selection of the best food you will find on the beach. Everything was perfectly prepared, every bite was full of flavor and taste. The chef here is cooking with pride and really makes a statement with the food. I literally ordered everything on the menu to get a taste, and every single thing was spectacular. This will be the only place I go for seafood when I'm in the area or in Florida.
So you take incredible food, the atmosphere, the music, and you add that to sitting in the sand, watching the waves roll in or enjoying the sunset ... I'm sorry, but you just don't find perfection like this very often.
Dinner was very tasty but a long wait for the food as they were very busy. I loved the outdoor seating right on the beach with umbrellas for the day shift. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and drinks. She did not rush us at all however we can tell that the outdoor seating has to stop at 8:30 pm because of the turtle’s nesting and it added so much stress on the staff especially when it got dark and they could not see much!
We still will go back again as the atmosphere and food were wonderful!
This restaurant is very good, the food is very 😋 and the service is fast and good. We arrived at 7:00 PM it was full of people and it only took us 20 minutes. They have live music and tables on the sand near the beach 🏝 the truth is that this restaurant is very good to share with friends and families, I recommend it to everyone.
So good! Love the beachfront vibes, live music, tasty drinks and great food. It was rainy that day but the live show went in and all covered seating, to keep the rain away. The grouper tacos were great as well as the fresh grouper! The fried grouper and shrimp combo also awesome. We also had one of the best chicken sandwiches around. This place did not disappoint, it was great and fun!
Excellent sea food with good on shore options. The setting is perfect. Live bands and well trained staff. Ability to walk out onto the beach and enjoy the beautiful sunset. No parking (had to pay $20 to park) and mashed potatoes could've been better but would still definitely recommend. Check them out.
Great local spot. Friendly staff. We came for breakfast and were extreme amazing. I Had Country Benedict and wife had Southwest Benedict. Both were yummy. Had 4 option of mimosas to choose from. Watermelon and strawberry were very good. Had to go back for Rum bunch for lunch. Looking for to next time we are in the area.
Breakfast on the beach!!! Our first visit was our 25 anniversary and it was a great choice. We had the crab cake Benedict and the shrimp and grits, along with a Bloody Mary or two. The shrimp and grits is absolutely delicious. I’m a chef and this dish is always hit or miss. Most places I’ve tried, outside of the Deep South, cannot get this dish right. Here, it is delicious! It’s not spicy hot, but has the perfect amount of salt and spice. No additional seasoning needed. The crab cake Benedict could be improved with a real hollandaise. It’s still good, but I’ll stick with the shrimp and grits.
The Bloody Mary is the best on the beach. Hands down. It’s not boozy and has plenty of flavor. And they’re $3. Better than any in Times Square.
Parking- we paid to park at the Lee County run parking lot, to the right of Times Square. It’s $2 an hour. Cash or card. It’s a short walk to The Salty Crab from there.
The staff was amazing. The breakfast was delicious. My 1st time eating chicken & waffles. Will go back definitely. And they welcome your four legged family members 🐶🐾♥️
For our appetizer we had the chicken and cheese chips they were excellent! The grilled shrimp skewers, cheesy grits, and the sampler platter with fried shrimp, grouper fingers, and calamari were also very good. Great location on the beach, strong drinks (kind of pricey) but that is to be expected for waterfront property.
First full day in Fort Meyers. We walked the beach in search of a bar/restaurant for lunch. After scouting out a few locations and we decided to visit the Salty Crab, and we hit a home run here! The atmosphere, food drinks and staff (especially our server Jodi) were all outstanding. Front row seat on the beach made our stay for lunch even more enjoyable. Our BBQ Oysters, Gulf Shrimp and Shrimp Nachos were all delicious. If you're in Fort Myers, you need to add a stop at the Salty Crab to your schedule. You won't regret it 🙂
