The Salty Crab Grill - Fort Myers Beach

I travel from Fort Lauderdale to visit the beach, and I would definitely make a stop here to eat and drink. I really miss this place and often wonder if it will ever reopen.

I've taken two days to reflect on my experience at this restaurant, and I must say, I'm still thoroughly impressed. Our server, Cameron, was exceptional, and the food was truly remarkable in terms of quality, freshness, and variety—the best you'll find on the beach. Everything was cooked to perfection, and each bite was bursting with flavor. The chef clearly takes pride in their work and makes a strong statement through their dishes. I decided to try nearly everything on the menu, and I can confidently say that each item was fantastic. This will definitely be my go-to place for seafood whenever I'm in the area or in Florida. The combination of incredible food, the inviting atmosphere, and the relaxing music, all while sitting in the sand and watching the waves or enjoying a sunset, creates an experience that is hard to beat. Honestly, you just don’t find perfection like this very often.

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

The best food we had our whole trip! Service was nothing overly great, but we also came during a lunch rush, however, the food and drink made up for it. Gator app was cooked perfectly and the cool crisp avocado shrimp salad was just what I was looking for after being in the heat all day. Highly recommend.

Enjoying dinner with your feet in the sand right on the beach is a fantastic experience at Salty Crab! The restaurant truly excels in every aspect. While the prices are a bit steep, it's understandable for a beachfront venue. Despite their popularity, the service is usually quite good. They offer a wide range of seafood dishes, ensuring there's something for everyone—even for those who prefer non-seafood meals. The drink selection is also impressive! Plus, it's an incredible place to catch the sunset. We visit often and highly recommend it, especially as a great spot for hosting guests.
