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.

CJ's was real good. Quick and attentive service. Delicious food. We were literally licking our plates clean. Can't wait to come back!

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, right on the strip out door dining at its best! If you are in the area this is worth the stop..... I will be back!!!!

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: this appetizer was great. Exactly what you'd expect. Crab cake dinner: the plating was lack-luster but the cakes were fantastic. The corn 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, especially cigars and pot. If this bothers you, request to sit inside.or go earlier in the day to avoid the evening crowd. You will have to find metered parking or a parking garage and walk to the restaurant. Overall: it was a pleasant experience and if I visited again, I'd go here for lunch.

Yes

is it safe to eat here if you are alergic to shell fish

Janice Harper | Aug 24, 2019
Robert Lingenfelser (CJ's Crab Shack) | Aug 24, 2019

If you're allergic to seafood, do not eat anything here that would have been cooked in the same area as seafood, such as fried chicken fingers since the oil is used to cook the fried shrimp and fish as well. The steak and grilled or blackened chicken is ok to eat along with the salads. Make sure to let your server know you're allergic to seafood so that they can notify the chef to insure your safety.

Do the Crab shack has maryland blue crabs

Searod Toye | Aug 24, 2019
CJ's Crab Shack | Aug 24, 2019

When we first opened, we were able to get both local blue crabs as well as sometimes being able to snatch some Chesapeake Bay Blues. Unfortunately, those days have come to an end. The large fisheries buy up all of the live blue crabs today so that they can sell us the crab meat at a premium. You still get great fresh crab meat in your crab cakes, crab dip and on those dishes where crab meat is added, but unfortunately, we don't have the blue crabs you can pick and eat anymore. We miss the bucket of crabs too. We do have both Snow Crab Clusters and Alaskan King Crab. We look forward to serving you.

Jeff Poole | Aug 24, 2018
Sam Dobrow | Aug 23, 2020

Best prices and portions on south beach. You wont find red lobster or long john silvers on the beach. Try little havana for inexpensive food.
