I ordered the lobster because it’s my birthday. However, I’m coming to the conclusion that Lobster isn’t all that. It’s expensive for little payoff. I mean it’s good but my sister got the Cajun crab legs combo and the crab legs were far more flavorful, even without the cajun seasoning. I would get that again when I come back here. We also got some frozen Mango Daiquiris, which they give you a tiny bottle of rum with it– they don’t skimp on the alcohol. 🙂 I would definitely come back to this place, next time I’m in Miami. I think the price is good value, seeing as it’s a seafood place. The service was friendly and fast.

Kind of pricey, but the food here was great. The crab legs were perfectly cooked. I was here around 2 or 3pm and it wasn’t too busy. I chose to sit inside for the air conditioning, but you can also sit outside. Great location across from the beach on Ocean Drive.

CJ’s Crab shack is an amazing place for seafood if you’re walking down ocean drive. The food and drinks were on point. The popcorn shrimp was tasty and so was the grouper and fries. Make sure you stop by and check them out

Really good quality of snow crab & garlic shrimp! Very delicious. Love the creamy pasta too!! The staff is very friendly who recommended me the meals and also helped to adjust my drink to less alcohol. (They put a huge amount of alcohol in the drink which sounds amazing for others but it’s too strong for me.)

Oh god, food was so so good! Despite the fact that I came there for crab legs, my favorite was their crab cake! Very tasty and had so much crab inside! The rest was very good too. There were a lot of people, but the service was still very nice and quick.

Great selection of seafood options. The portions are pretty big for the price listed. The Alfredo pasta was really good and the steak. Would definitely go back

We thought this would be an awesome restaurant to dine at as it is located right on the strip in South Beach with fantastic views with the outdoor dining.

I am not a seafood lover so I went with the steak that you see. Too much fat for a steak like this. I believe it was a NY Strip? Drinks were good, I did get a random one off the menu and couldn’t tell you the name so apparently it was strong. I didn’t mind it though, this is why we have Uber! My Wife enjoyed her dish (open shell crab, she says) and she is the foodie. Overall, I would recommend it. Also check out the Cinematic Video I took at the end, so dramatic, right!? Bon Appetit!
