The Original Crabby Bill's is an iconic seafood restaurant that's been nestled in the old Florida beach town of Indian Rocks Beach for over 40 years, steps from the sand! Open for lunch and dinner daily. Fresh local seafood, fresh cut steaks, and of course CRAB are mainstays of our extensive menu. Everything from shrimp, lobster, clams, mussels, oysters, octopus, soft shell crab, frog legs, real Florida gator tail, and of course fresh caught Gulf grouper; we have something for everyone. Inside and outside dining available, full liquor bars, live music nightly, and much more. Hospitality is our blood and we are excited to have you and your family at our table soon.

Your reservation at The Original Crabby Bill's is for our inside dining room only. Due to unforeseen weather conditions and business volume we are unable to make reservations for our exterior and outdoor dining areas.

    We had a great time. The staff was so welcoming and personable. They even played a game and our daughter won a tee-shirt and gift card. The food was delicious as well.

    Overall the food was pretty good, but some of the sides were not warm when served. The service was a bit lacking at first, but the server did try to make up for it later. We generally enjoyed it food.

    The blackened grouper was way over seasoned and greasy.

    Great place. Children can be loud and annoying so sitting at the bar is best.

    Good portions were small and crazy prices. Other places on the beach have similar food at lower prices. Ordered calamari, small portion, there 5 rings and 2 pieces of tentacles on a bed of fries. The fries were like leather, old and cold. I almost didn’t know what they were. Ordered the grouper and it was small and lukewarm. Fish tacos were good.
