My husband and I waited TWO hours for our food. They waitress and staff were unapologetic and acted as if they were too busy and just "forgot" us.To add insult to injury the food was cold and terrible. We learned a VERY expensive lesson and will NEVER return. Don't waste your time with this restaurant! More

As locals we have been wondering for years why the "Crab Trap" was not open for lunch. Finally a few months back they decided to try pleasing the lunch crowd promising the "same great food and some new specials". Well the same "great food" also includes the high dinner prices for lunch time. We got there about 45 minutes before... More

We always go here when we visit Amelia Island. This last trip we had a good meal but we left our purse at our table and did not realize till the next day (a long story). Anyway we called, they had it, and the staff had not touched a thing, a significant amount of money was fully there, and they... More

This was expensive for the food received. Food was not great quality, tables were not very clean. Most importantly, what should been a great view of the water on the second floor, where we were seated...all of the blinds were closed, you could not see anything. Felt claustrophobic. I would have preferred a glare and a view. For all of... More

We went here for dinner and was not impressed. The food was nothing special and expensive for what you get. For an island that specializes in shrimp, it was terrible here! SMALL and tasteless!! The service was good though. More

Five of us went to the Crab Trap for a lazy lunch and this was the place. We started off with the drink of the day - Sweet Iced Tea - a lovely concoction of brewed tea, citrus vodka, and a splash of lemon. That was terrific. Two had the crab melt sandwiches and were delighted. My husband had shrimp... More

Everyone was very friendly and personable. We had a great time. Also, it was my birthday and they gave me a slice of key lime pie, which really made my day. The food was excellent too. More
