18/01/12 - Crabby Bill's, St Pete's Beach, Florida

Went to St Petersburg for the day and stopped off for a late lunch at Crabby Bill’s at St Pete’s Beach. It was the only day of our 2 week holiday that it rained. St Pete’s Beach looked pretty miserable and so did that branch of Crabby Bill’s. It was pretty empty – but then it was a rainy Wednesday in January. Witnessed an exchange of words between 2 waitresses that would have been better said away from customers! Awkward! I opted for a bowl of the crab and corn chowder and deep fried mushrooms while K went for sweet potato fries, spinach and artichoke dip with tortilla chips and deep fried green beans.  After a while I began to feel ill at all the greasy food on the table but I still ate it! Their corn chowder is nice but not as good as Frenchy’s She Crab soup. Crabby Bill’s isn’t comfortable (we were seated at a long picnic table with attached seats) but it does good seafood if you like crab legs and stuff. It doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not. It’s casual dining with good drinks!
