Pros: Casual restaurants — order at the counter and then grab a seat. The best peel and eat shrimp and conch fritters that I have ever had! I’ve been to the FL keys and I’ve had a lot of conch fritters but these are the best. Nice selection of beer. Great prices for quality seafood. Cons: Limited outdoor seating. Personally, I prefer a restaurant with table service.

I love Crabby Bills Seafood market. Period. Best seafood market on the East coast. Lunches are out of this world. They just started dinner on the weekend on a reservation only basis. So we headed up there for my birthday dinner. Menu was posted on line with no prices. Should have picked up on that. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Not like a traditional restaurant. But that’s ok, atmosphere is old fish house … which is great. I went up and ordered the Grouper Oraganato, served with a nice salad, rice and overlooked green beans. It was great but The price? $ 55!!! I about gagged! Hey this ain’t NYC!!! We were committed to the night there with a birthday bag of gifts and my wife was looking forward to a great evening. She ordered the diver scallops at $ 45 for the dinner. It is not that we could not afford it… But really? Will not be back for dinner but will buy our own fresh fish there and cook it at home! Jim Vero Beach, FL

Great seafood market. They have the freshest seafood around and at a very reasonable price. The people who work there are very helpful and know there stuff. We have been coming down to Sebastian since I was a little kid and this place has by far been the best addition to the town no questions about it. We have tried the crab cakes, stone crab, blue point shrimp, little and middle neck clams, Chilean sea bass, salmon and tuna steak. All very delicious. They also have a restaurant that is open for lunch and sometimes dinner. I personally have never eaten at the restaurant but if it is anything like the seafood they sell in the market, I am sure it is awesome and worth trying. Overall, you cannot go wrong buying seafood from this place.

I liked it but overpriced for what it was. Fresh fish was delicious but the Caesar salad swam in dressing.

Stopped here based on Unilocal reviews and weren’t disappointed! A little pricey — my husband and I spent $ 50 for lunch — but it was the best meal of the trip! Best crab cake sandwich I’ve had in a long time.

My husband and I love, love, love Crab-E-Bill’s. The seafood is always fresh and they have a good variety to chose from. Having the little restaurant is great, too.

We just moved to the area, so we stopped in to the market. We bought the homemade tuna salad, clams, and conch fritters. We had them all for supper. We enjoyed everything. Everyone was freindly and helpful. Happy to find this market.

I love Crab-E-Bill’s. I love the food, I love the Market, I love the warped tables on the narrow dock, and the eclectic kitschy Florida fishing theme in the restaurant. I love the patrons, and the people who work in the market and in the kitchen. I love it all. I love the area too — Sebastian, Roseland, Micco, Grant — this is a special slice of Florida. The freshness of the seafood is Crab-E-Bill’s signature concept, but they also put together some very interesting combinations of flavors. Everything I have tried there has been delicious. The Grouper Ruben is inspired. The muscles, the clams, the tuna, the mahi: it has all been good. Fish is so easy to over cook or over season, and they do sometimes risk over seasoning, but they have managed not to make me Crab-E. If I had to complain about something, it would be the price point. The prices for a lunch sandwich are a little high side. I get that you are paying for ingredients and freshness and made-in-house, and location too, but I think it was $ 17 for a grouper sandwich, and the piece of fish in my sandwich was not quite as large as I would have liked it — I like a big piece of fish in my sandwich. But, I keep coming back so, «supply and demand?» There are a lot of choices these days for waterfront dining in Sebastian. If you choose Crab-E Bill’s you have made a good choice.

Great local joint with great views. Came for a 91st birthday while visiting family and really enjoyed the place. The decorations are really fun to look at! I ordered the blackened snapper on a garden salad and it was delish. My boyfriend had the fried shrimp they were huge and very yummy. Overall this really interesting spot and great for some seafood! We even got to meet Bill, fun experience for sure!

I have been coming to Sebastian for the past 13 or so years and I have eaten at the local so called«seafood» places and this by far is the best that I have ever experienced. My wife had a 3 pound spiny lobster which she picked out and was cooked to perfection by Dan. I had the fish reuben(which red snapper was used) and it was incredible. Upon speaking with the owner Bill(who is not crabby at all) he said that catch of the day is literally the catch of the day and his goal is get you the freshest seafood possible. The dining room is great with the history of Sebastian fishing and with a view that is written about in stories. I will now make this a stop everytime I return to Sebastian.

Great food! I had the appetizer shrimp and a cup of stew, the one made on the premises. My grandson had a hamburger that tasted delicious. Jim had a bowl of homemade soup. All was scrumptious. The serving style was a little off. It did not match the quality of the food. You had to order at the counter and they would bring it to you.

I went here with my boyfriend today for a Saturday lunch. We walked in through the fish market section and we were blown away. Huge lobster, big thick scallops, healthy clams, and gargantuan swordfish filets were what we were greeted with. We were very pleased with the food we were served in the restaurant and the lovely view of the river.

We started with ordering the fresh fish. Now we do both! Awesome again! Great takeout and you have to try the lobster rolls — the best! I highly recommend you try it!

Great fresh seafood with an on site market! It’s a wonderful place to eat with friends sitting right on the water, the seafood is as fresh as it gets and the beers cold!

My favorite place for lunch. You know the fish is fresh when you bite into it and know it was swimming this morning. This is as fresh as it gets. Always lots of flavor and perfectly cooked. I have never had a bad meal and I always get something different. The lobster bisque amazing I wish I had enough to fill a pool so I could swim in it. The girl at the counter is always helpful and smiley, she suggested the lion fish which I wasn’t sure you could eat but so tasty and light. They also make there chips in house and they are full of flavor and crisp. I recommend it to anyone who asked where to get a good lunch.

Fresh Grouper & Roasted Tuna were awesome. The hand cut potato chips were some of the best we’ve ever had. Entrance is a bit confusing; market is on the left, restaurant to the right…& you order at the first counter before entering the seating area. Once you’re seated it’s great food, great view, good company. ;)

For the most part, we have been very disappointed in the quality of food and prices in and about Indian River County. Based on a good friend’s recommendation, we decided to try Crab-e-Bills located on the Sebastian River in Sebastian. Ordering is done at a window that overlooks the kitchen. The menu, itself, is unimaginative and the prices seemed to be a bit high for similar/exact meals in other restaurants. Based on the food we’re used to in Daytona Beach, the prices were exorbitant. I ordered Fish Tacos with Pumpkin swordfish(before you say it, the name is disgusting enough — but at least you didn’t have to eat it). The meal was advertised as being accompanied by home-made skillet fries, cole slaw and a drink. I ordered water — and found my choices were tap water or bottled water. I chose the latter. My girlfriend ordered a bowl of clam chowder, a small salad and bottled water. The price of the meal was $ 27.00. We opted to eat outside. The tables are half-moon wooden contrivances with wooden benches. The seating capacity is small — only 6 tables. There appeared to be ample inside seating. When my meal arrived it consisted of kettle fries with five or six slices of fish — no fish tacos. I mentioned this to the server and he repaired to the kitchen to make it right. When he returned, the potato chips had been replaced with colorful tortilla chips. The fish tacos were made up of fish squares, large grated chunks of sharp cheddar cheese that had been pulled from the freezer — the fish never melted during the meal, nor did its taste improve. I took the plate into the restaurant to have the tortilla chips replaced with what had been promised on the menu. When they arrived, they were cold — unlike the«fresh cooked» description in the menu. My girlfriend’s chowder was good — but the salad was bland and nearly tasteless. It had too many tomatoes, not enough lettuce and at least 15 croutons — which were tasteless. All in all, Crab e Bills is an unremarkable, over-priced place to eat. I can’t imagine dinner being any better — only the price will increase. Like most of the local places in this vicinity, Crab e Bills fails to «whelm» much less«overwhelm» in terms of good food and reasonable prices. I cannot believe the restaurant has a good rating. Nothing about the meal inspired us to return. All I can assume is that the good people of this county are so used to poorly prepared food that they have equated high prices for good quality. For those of us who have traveled to other climes and know what good food tastes like and the value of such I suppose we’ll just have to go elsewhere to find a good restaurant. Thank God we have reasons to go to the Keys and Daytona Beach often enough to satisfy our tastes and our budget.

The best local and imported fresh seafood !!! Daily offerings change with the tide. The most friendly staff that will guide you from what to buy to different preparations of exotic local fish such as Sheeps head and cobia! Golden tile fish is succulent! Crab cakes that melt in your mouth. Juicy key west pink shrimp. Stone crabs that range from small to colossal ! Their sauces all house made will knock your socks off! I recommend the champagne mustard sauce and Carmine’s key line remoulade! The conch salad is so fresh and flavorful! I could go on and on! My next review will be of the newly opened eatery!!! Go check out this local gem!
