They open at 7am and take my advice: Go EARLY! Most of the seating is outside at high top tables, the bar or at picnic tables. Shade is hard to find under the typical bar umbrellas and even fans and misters didn't help our 11am group from roasting.
The menu is good, although I had hoped to see more seafood items incorporated into the typical breakfast fare. Along with apple wood smoked bacon, sausage, and steak, there was fried catfish as accompaniment to eggs, any style with toast and the yummiest home fries. French toast, $5.99 with bacon was hearty and satisfying to a hungry panda-child. Add a side of home fries, $2.49 and she was full all day.
Other seafood choices were a Crab Benedict, which replaced the usual Canadian bacon in a typical Eggs Benedict with crab cakes (again, real crab, not krab). Their omelets included a Chesapeake with crab (real crab, not krab), cream cheese and Old Bay seasoning and the Floridian, $7.99, my choice, with cheddar, sweet shrimp and tomatoes. The omelet was solid and tasty with large pink shrimp, cooked perfectly. I could only eat half and I will admit that this was so good that at around 4:30 after swimming, I stood in my mother's kitchen and ate the other half standing over the kitchen sink and it tasted just as good cold.
Great service by Adam, our young waiter who kept the drinks filled and was happy to accommodate a special request for real butter by bringing a generous slab of it on a small plate. The atmosphere at Crabby Bill's is colorful and tropical. We agreed it would be fun to come back for happy hour in the cooler evening hours. We will definitely return for breakfast in the fall when the weather is cooler.
Total for 2 soft drinks, 2 breakfasts plus a side of home fries was $19.76 including tax.
