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.

Guest Reviews
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. 💯🙌
The view of the ocean while sitting in the loft area was very nice and all of the staff were super friendly. Everything comes in decent portions and the seafood was very fresh. We had the crab legs and grouper sandwich and both we would definitely order again.
I had a quick lunch here on the upper deck after a kayak tour and we are so glad that we did on Easter Sunday. We had seats overlooking the water while an incredible guitarist played in the background. Also, the food and service were fantastic. We especially enjoyed the oysters, grouper sandwich, and the tacos. Great place to chill!
Amazing experience at Billy’s Stone Crab! The fish was absolutely delicious, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The food overall was excellent, and the service made the experience even better. Our waitress, Madi, was very friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service from start to finish. The atmosphere was great, and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great seafood and a pleasant dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!
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.
