Enjoy cold drinks and island appetizers at their 70-foot waterfront bar! Fresh seafood, live music daily, drink specials, at “The Hut”. Sculley’s, which is upstairs, features waterfront dining, and outdoor seating.

The emphasis here is fresh seafood daily, most caught in the Gulf of Mexico within the last 24 hours. Sculley’s sits shoulder-to-shoulder with a row of souvenir shops and restaurants along a wooden boardwalk with a view of John’s Pass boat traffic. It’s homey, with nautical antiques from around the world-diving suits, tanks, old boats lodged in the rafters, mounted fish, early 1900s photos of John’s Pass. The presentation is more stylish than you might expect from the no-frills location. Steak, chicken and pastas are the hallmarks of the typical seaside menu.

Favorite Dish: Santa Fe salad Chicken Breast Caesar ($10.99) and Crispy Calamari ($8.99)
With Pancetta Sauce, Basil Pesto and Shredded Parmesan

It's not a real fancy rest... Like a shack on the beach but built.... and they only have two tables... so either sit and eat or to go...

Just make sure u get some cash before walking in

Favorite Dish: Since i like fried shrimps.. they got good ones and hamburgers too

Lisa was the person that made us come to this restaurant. She was cruising around the Grouper Festival that Shelly and I were working, passing out Free Appetizers for the restaurant. At the end of the busy day, Shelly and I decided, why not check out this Crab Shack. When we got there, we were so Out of it due to lack of sleep, we decided we'd only have one quick beer and head back to Orlando, a 1.5 hour drive... Three or Four beers later, 3 hours later, and plenty of Kick Arse Food later, we finally made our goodbyes. Nice place, nice owners, great staff and Lisa -- the Matron Saint of the restaurant... you won't want to leave as well.

Come hungry!

Favorite Dish: I really liked the fried oysters.

And the Crabstuffed Mushrooms.

And the Onion rings.

Aw hell, nothing was Bad! Light, not greasy frying is a LOST ART, but they succeed here in not making you feel TOO guilty about eating well-prepared fried foods.

The food is fresh and freshly prepared. The ambience is Beach Cool. The employees and owners are amazingly friendly and fun to hang out with. It's a very special place that makes me wish I lived closer. But maybe not: i'm trying to eat less fried food. (Steamed crabs next time, Sheryl!)

Favorite Dish: I had the Crab stuffed mushroom caps; fried oysters and onion rings with Hushpuppies. And some icehouse on tap. Muy Bueno!
