    The key lime pie is PERFECTION. It's consistency is more along the lines of a custard, similar to a flan or crème brûlée, but if you love creamy desserts, you'll regret NOT ordering this.

    The Crab Combo is perfect for 2 and is absolutely delicious. 1lb of snow crab and 1lb of king crab with red potatoes, corn on the cob, and hush puppies.

    Had a fairly large group during busy season and was sat rather quickly with great service. Food was really good too! WILL BE BACK

    Love coming here! It is a must when we are in or around Destin. The food is great and the prices are the same as anywhere else! The Crab Trap is one of our favorites!

    Our waitress was sweet, patient and friendly. The coconut shrimp was fabulous. The shrimp is caught locally and the dipping sauce was sweet and tangy.

    Gumbo great, as everyone says. The rest of the food is good and moderately priced and our service was exemplary.

    Whoever says the sweet tea is disgusting doesn't know how sweet tea should taste. We got the crab dip and liked it but the view is the best part!!

    Go to Pompano Joe's if you want good seafood (only 1.5 miles away on the coast). Crab Trap's crab cakes were average, blackened jumbo shrimp was over seasoned. Calamari appetiser was the best bit.

    One of Destin's best kept secrets! Delicious seafood with a beautiful beach location just far enough from the hustle and bustle of the strip.

    Order to-go inside and carry your food out back to enjoy your meal sitting at the bar just across the dune line from the main beach. Read more

    Soft shell crab sandwich! Good decent food. If you're looking for fancy, don't come here. If you want down home fried seafood, this is your place.

    Someone left a tip for the blackened grouper sandwich, its actually called the bronzed grouper, and it was fantastic!! Highly recommended!!

    Fun place with the kids. Right on the beach for them to play while you wait with an outside bar. Can it get better that that?

    If you want to ear something other than oysters, order to-go in restaurant & bring it down to beach bar.

    The crab legs were cooked perfect but quite a bit on the salty side and three of my crab legs were completely empty with no meat. I got robbed. Food wasn't all that bad but I've had much better.

    As a floridian I can tell you that this place has mediocre over priced sea food. Service was good but you'll like "Back porch" better.

    They no longer do the 29cent gumbo special. They replaced it with nothing.
