Crab Trap, Fort Walton Beach

"I had an amazing experience at The Crab Trap! The food was absolutely delicious from start to finish. The crab dip was creamy, flavorful, and packed with fresh crab — definitely one of the best I’ve ever had. The gumbo was rich and hearty, with just the right amount of spice, and tasted like true comfort in a bowl. The crab cakes were perfectly seasoned, golden on the outside, and full of fresh crab meat inside. On top of the incredible food, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made for a really enjoyable dining experience. If you love seafood, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back!"

"Had a great experience this past weekend for my mom’s birthday dinner! The food was good, view was spectacular and the service was amazing! Tyler the manager was very helpful and the atmosphere was awesome! But, Philip our server was outstanding and went the extra mile our entire visit!!! He even took some photos of us with the sunset! He was a true gentleman and deserves recognition!!! Great experience ♥️"

"My wife and I dropped in on a Thursday evening, expecting a 20-minute wait—but they had a table ready for us in just 10. That kind of hospitality set the tone for the whole evening. The beach-inspired atmosphere was relaxing and scenic, perfectly matched with its boardwalk location right on the water. Despite the busy dinner rush, our waiter was attentive and efficient, never missing a beat. The food? Fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you’d hope for from a coastal spot. We left full, happy, and already planning our return visit. Definitely a place that captures the spirit of beachside dining."
