Reviews for CJ's Crab Shack in Miami Beach, FL
For this to be a restaurant in Miami the prices was decent for the amount of food. Everywhere is a service charge though can't... get around that part! Seating was a nice outside ambiance table on the strip not far from Versace old house now bar and hotel. Read more
The food was great. The fish was a bit buttery but didn?t mind it. Usually have mix drink specials and the Long Island was good,... but not as strong. Sits across the beach so its a nice view to Ocean Dr. Overall a nice place but on the pricey end as the restof south beach. Read more
Nice location on the street. If you're not sitting outside though, the inside isn't great, nor is the bathroom. Service is not... bad, it's okay. The prices are extremely high though. The food is good, pretty good even, but that's about it. Read more
We had NO wait at 7pm on a Thursday! Super surprised! The food was amazing! Probably the best food we ate all trip! Crab dip was... rich and creamy, and served with plenty of chips. Shrimp and crab were served with a side which was a huge portion! Crab wasperfectly prepared and the garlic shrimp was delicious! Shrimp poboy had so much shrimp you couldnt even eat it like a sandwichwithout having to eat a few shrimp First! Steak was cooked perfectly! Wish we could visit again before we leave! Friendly staffand the perfect view of ocean street! Read more
Incredible, perfect crab! Loved eating here and would love to come back. The steak and shrimp were excellent as well. Great... location right in the heart of south beach on Ocean Drive, with plenty of outdoor seating. Service was friendly and prompt. Read more
O my! The food was out of this world! The shrimp was the best I have ever had period! Crab cake was fresh with zero filler and... they can cook a steak to boot! The atmosphere and views were exactly what you would expect from a restaurant like this, righton the strip out door dining at its best! If you are in the area this is worth the stop..... I will be back!!!! Read more
I dined here while on vacation with my partner. We were seated promptly outside. Our server (who I think might have been the... owner but didn't introduce himself as such) was polite and had wonderful recommendations. We ordered: Fried Popcorn Shrimp: thisappetizer was great. Exactly what you'd expect. Crab cake dinner: the plating was lack-luster but the cakes were fantastic. Thecorn was cooked and seasoned well. 1-pound snow crab dinner: cooked very well and easy to shell. Miami Vice cocktail: very good,tasty frozen cocktail. Didn't 'wow' but didn't disappoint. Notes: many people smoke while they dine on ocean drive, especiallycigars and pot. If this bothers you, request to sit inside.or go earlier in the day to avoid the evening crowd. You will have tofind metered parking or a parking garage and walk to the restaurant. Overall: it was a pleasant experience and if I visitedagain, I'd go here for lunch. Read more
Omg!!! I would not let let my worst enemy eat here!!! I have been traveling in Miami for a few years, and love sea food.... Tonight I experience such male Chauvinist to the max!! I told the hostess what was she doing? And she said she?s was looking foranother job! I was greeted from a lovely mother and daughter across from me that told me that they had a bad experience from.It was the manager. I ordered r the crab cake. It wasn?t even something I would give to my dog. They brought me another. And Iordered the king crab with corn and veg. Corn was not even cooked. And I asked for a side of pasta which I never got. My billwas 115$ I paid it and walked out, not finishing my diner. I would strongly recommend thinking twice about going here. I have noproblem paying for food. But I did have to get fisty with these people. Because of there attitudes. Just seemed like they didnot respect their costumers. Crab legs were great. But. Who wants to eat with a terrible house???
