Hubby and I were very presently surprised and had a wonderful and delicious dining experience. Mecca was our waitress. She was very knowledgeable, very friendly and made us feel very welcomed. Great friendly Service! The Margarita's were one of the best we've ever had. Hubby is a small plate fussy eater and said he had the BEST meal ever...this means the restaurant and food are rated the very highest in our ratings. Thank you for a great dining experience. We are telling everyone we know to dine at Storming Crab in Ocala and we are looking forward to returning soon!
We had an amazing lunch. We had a large group that took up 2 tables and our waitress Emely was awesome. She was very sweet and handled our bunch very well. The food was so delicious and we got it super fast. We will definitely be back when we are in the area. Go check this place out it is so worth the trip.
We ate at this establishment to celebrate a birthday. We were wanting crab leg's. I ordered the letter A Combo platter that consisted of Crab leg's, headless shrimp, corn on the cob, potatoes, all prepared in garlic butter and sausage. I really enjoyed it!! There was plenty of food, and I left full. Our server Chanel was outstanding at catering to our needs. The atmosphere in the restaurant was great, and the food was fairly priced. We would definitely return. Thank you Storming Crab for providing us with an awesome evening!
Five stars what can I say? My service was exceptional from the waitress. She started by bringing me a sample of their seafood bread. I had the softshell crab, which was wonderfully battered. Then the boil was presented. I went with a pound of clam a pound of crawfish, old bay garlic butter seasoning. It came with two corns, two potatoes and two hard boiled eggs. I managed to take care of all the shellfish, but couldn’t finish the sausage potatoes and eggs. Highly recommend this restaurant.
This is a fantastic place to eat, the on-line reservation was super easy-to-use, the service was great, and the food was delicious.
We had such a great experience today (May 11, 2025). We decided to get take out for Mother’s Day fully understanding they were going to be busy. I called to place our order because a certain thing wasn’t available online, the younger women who answered the phone was so pleasant and didn’t seemed overwhelmed despite it being busy. When they went to go pick it up there was a longer wait for seating, but again so pleasant and had everything ready for us. Food was perfect, even taking it home it tasted fresh and didn’t leave you with that nasty full feeling. Well worth the price and we will be back!
1st time in and food was hot and tasty. Friendly staff clam chowder to me, and my husband was very good. Drinks very well made for us.
OMG! Absolutely delicious! Went twice in a week. Definitely going back! I got the crab boil n crab/shrimp boil. My husband got fried scallop basket n oyster po boy
