Dessert coconut rum cake Key lime pie that taste like key west. It is worth the drive. This has been the best Seafood we have had in Florida.

First off let me say that we have been to getting crabby a few times before and we loved it. The food was good the service was good. My girlfriend is having a major medical procedure in a couple of days so we figured we needed to do something special to take her mind off of it, so we decided to spend this occasion at getting crabby having crab. The only seats were at the bar and that was ok. We asked about king crab legs and the bartender first response was those are very expensive, almost saying he thinks it?s too expensive for our wallets, which we thought was odd, but didn?t think much of it. I ordered a Mango beer and the keg tapped out halfway through so the beer was half foam half beer, the bartender says this one?s on me sorry about that and I had no problem at all drinking it. We ordered the king crab legs which we were told were somewhere between 1-2 lbs and the dungeonous crab. When the crab came the king crab was 2 legs(see photo). We felt like we were getting ripped off and politely sent it back. The bartender immediately asked if we wanted him to take it off the tab as if we wanted a free meal out of it. He never asked if there was anything else we wanted to order, explained that each leg was half a pound, and then wouldn?t even make eye contact with us. At some point we asked the nice couple next to us what they thought and they couldn?t agree more. I asked them what they would do if they were us and he said ?honestly I?m really glad we?re not you guys, this is bad send it back, good luck? From the moment we walked in we felt like this guy thought we were trying to get free food or something, it was the most bizarre and least enjoyable dining experience ever for me. And to top it off the guy charged me for the glass of Mango foam beer he said he wasn?t going to charge me for. I felt like he wanted to test me to see if I'd ask him to take it off but we didn't. We paid and STILL tipped him 20%. I felt so uncomfortable and we couldn?t get out of there fas

Traveled an hour to have this seafood meal and it was worth it. Heard about Gettin Crabby on that show called Check Please. It was just as they described. It was real casual and laid back. We took our time and tried several things from Argentinean shrimp, cracked conch, stewed oysters and the captain's platter fried as well as sauteed. The stewed oysters were a little bland, but they melted in your mouth. Both captain's platters were delicious. They were well seasoned, so fresh and cooked to perfection. Loved the rice and coleslaw side dishes. Service was great. I look forward to my next trip for lunch or dinner.

The service was excellent, and Chelsea was incredibly attentive. The fish dish was a bit too smoky for our group's liking, but the crab legs were outstanding. The shrimp appetizer tasted like tender, flavorful lobster, and the scallops wrapped in speck were simply melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

This is truly the best seafood restaurant I've ever been to. While the deep water red shrimp is outstanding as an appetizer, the Dungeness crab dinner is simply to die for. We visit every other week! If you haven't been here, you're really missing out on the hidden gem in Manatee Pocket. The service is also excellent.
