Beloved seafood restaurant Crabby Bill’s debuted its new location in Palm Harbor (1114 Florida Ave). This marks the third Crabby Bill’s, joining The Original Crabby Bill’s in Indian Rocks (401 Gulf Blvd) and the St. Pete Beach location (5100 Gulf Blvd).
Known for its no-frills seafood—especially its crab and grouper—and its casual, beachy atmosphere, Crabby Bill’s epitomizes Florida’s coastal charm. Originally opening as Captain Bill’s in the 1970s, the restaurant rebranded in the 1980s after the family established its business in a humble 800-square-foot building in Indian Rocks.

The giant, iconic crab on the roof, brandishing its heavy claw, is easily recognizable and has become a beacon in the community. The Crabby Bill’s family keeps growing, and the Palm Harbor location marks another significant milestone in the brand’s impressive expansion over the last 50+ years.
Crabby Bill’s includes a large set of family brands
Over the years, Crabby Bill’s has grown into a family of brands. Since its inception in that modest space, the brand has expanded to include Crabby Gifts, Jake’s Coastal Cantina, Seabreeze Island Grill, Pipo N Betty’s Bakery, Crabby Bill’s St. Pete Beach, JD’s Lounge & Restaurant, Cabanas Coastal Grill, Evy’s Terrace Bar & Bistro, and Bon Appetit Restaurant.
