We went for a late lunch and it was great. The food was very good and the stone crabs were very tasty (we were pleasantly surprised as some crabs from warmish water don't have as much taste as cold water ones). Has a nice outside dining area with views of the bay. Lots of birdlife to watch. We had an... more

I love Stone Crabs and Friday for a late Lunch, I experienced some of the best stone crabs I have ever eaten. They offered a platter of medium and large, but they were more like large and jumbo. Excellence, sweet and tender, even the bigger ones. Tried with sweet/hot mustard, extremely good, they are always good with butter or cocktail... more

Great stonecrabs with an awesome mustards sauce. We had take out. $80 for 3 lbs of jumbo stonecrabs meal. The meal came with the crabs and a side. I wanted soup for new england clam chowder. This was an upgrade. Don't get the soup here. It tasted canned. But since we had take out, we didn't have a chance to... more

I had never had stone crabs before. They were delicious!! DH had blackened grouper that he thought was great. Other reviewers have complained about the condition of the building, but we were never even inside. We sat outside and the view was awesome. The service was good, too. I probably would only recommend going here when stone crabs are in... more

The location is beautiful, on the water with sealife and birds abounding. The food is delicious and the service is very friendly. It's the same as it's been since the 1970s which is fantastic. It's a magical visit every time we come down here. We hope it never changes. We enjoy sitting out on the porch for dinner. We wish... more

Fab location, but serving crackers wrapped in cellophane in lieu of home-baked organic bread is beyond the pale. After a meal of catfish and french fries I was sick for two days - but my guest had no "side-effects". more

Moores is the last of the "Old Florida Restaurants" left around. The birds are there because it is a dock, that is where they bring in the best Stone Crabs in FLA. Try the seafood soup or the grouper sandwich. Moores isn't fancy, it's just GREAT. lbkbob more

If your looking for the water view, you cant beat it. If your looking for a has been seafood restaurant, you cant beat it either. I had fried oysters and they were like eating little stones. I remember this place years ago when they cared about what they put in front of you. Guys, you should have sold out for... more
