Crab Trap

This restaurant is centrally located in Destin. It is between Destin and Sandestin and right on the main road. It is a nice building with quite a bit of parking. The outside of the building looks like many of the seafood restaurants. It also has a really nice playground area for the kids during a wait for the table or just to play on before or after your meal. We actually ate here twice during our last visit to Destin because my son liked it so much.

During our visits, we arrived early and were either directly seated or waited a few minutes for a table. During the wait, you have the outside play area, a bar area, or a porch area with picnic-type tables. We chose the porch area and were the only ones waiting there, so my son ran and played and we were quickly called for our table. They also offer a gift shop you can visit while waiting or after you dine.

Once we were seated, we received our menus and the children’s menu, which has a coloring book with it. The children’s menu was really good and reasonably priced. My son got the macaroni and cheese both times. The regular menu had many seafood options, appetizers, and desserts. I got grilled shrimp once and shrimp scampi once. They were both wonderful; I absolutely loved the scampi sauce.

After ordering, we quickly received our drinks and my son’s food. Then our food also followed quickly. As soon as we finished, the server took our dessert orders and brought our check. The dessert was also wonderful, although I had to get a to-go box for part of it.

During the entire dining experience, they are playing fast-paced music, and then every so often they will turn the music up loud and all the servers start dancing and even dancing on the tables if there are open ones. My son loved to watch this. It was very entertaining. The entire restaurant is very laid-back and encourages having fun. I will be visiting it again sometime soon.

Wonderful open air beach-side dining. Enjoy the beach breezes and the sound of gulf waves while savoring a great meal. The old-fashioned palm frond fans are another added feature that adds to the experience. The menu offers a wide variety of seafood items and the food was delicious. The service was great.
