Billy's Stone Crab Restaurant
Serving award-winning seafood and steak since 1972, Billys Stonecrab Restaurant is waterfront and built completely out of native cypress and pine. With waterfront view of the natural harbor, Hurricane Hole, is a spectacular.
Fresh and premium local of crab and seafood are served year round, but from October through May, the restaurant serves up the fresh catch from thousands of stone crab traps. So it's no surprise that Billys has been voted No.1 Stonecrab and Seafood. It's not just the seafood, though, that keeps patrons coming back again and again. Billy's also has beef in St. Petersburg, select prime beef and age it to a tender perfection.

What Visitors Love
I have been coming here for years since it opened. I love the atmosphere. We had a table w a beautiful view of the water. The decor is old Fl. The filet medallions were good. I think it could have been more flavorful. I didn't like the collards. We got the great early bird special on the Maine lobster. I have had lobster all of my 60 plus years here in Fl, but I have never had to open it myself. My husband's lobster was cut properly, but mine was very hard to get out. Our waiter forgot my greens and our dessert. They weren't even very busy at the time. I would rate the peanut butter pie as average.
Amazing!! This is my first time visiting and I've already made this my favorite hangout of all time! From the galley bar to the "loft" - there are eclectic and hand-selected nautical themes all around the buildings. My favorite is the loft which offers spectacular views of the water, and reminds me of being at a deck bar on a cruise ship. The pictures don't do it justice - you HAVE to see this place in person to appreciate how wonderful it is. I came for a quick lunch and had the fried haddock with fries and pineapple coleslaw. The fish was cooked perfectly with a thin light batter coating. It was fresh and delicious. The pineapple in the slaw gives it a refreshing sweetness and complements the tart cabbage. The fries were good but I think they used old oil - so they had a metallic taste. Overall, the staff were attentive and friendly. The views were superb. The patrons friendly and conversational. The prices are fair. And this is where I'm going to hang out from now on. 💯🙌
Great atmosphere, beautiful view, food was great, though appetizer portions were somewhat on the small side. Conch fritters were to die for, but would have needed four helpings to satisfy my lust. Come here for some good shoreside vibes and great decor. Live music in the evenings. I would come back here.
This was worth the drive. Broilled scallops were mouth watering, Broccoli was al dented and mashed and delicious. We had a great server and everyone was friendly and polite. Highly recommend and we would definitely go again!
