Barons Crab Stop

I know that I call the women in riverpoint woe and tie but they're not they boss ladies all in Jacksonville women are boss ladies and the men are fine thank you for welcoming me in Jacksonville Florida bye from Angela Madison

OMG! So I had a cheat day today. It was so worth it. @baronscrabstopp did not disappoint. The market was so clean. Customer service was impeccable. The owner was so friendly. There s lot of things in this shop. The food was amazing. My crab and shrimp were fried to perfection. The corn and the hush puppies were amazing.My first fried crab and this will be my treat every now and then. They also have other fresh seafood!

I went this past weekend... the food looked good but actually were disgusting, smelled so gross, and had no real garlic on them. They just covered them with garlic powder to make them look like they had actual seasoning. I spent a good amount of money that I didn't want to waste, so when I got home I literally had to thoroughly rinse all of my crab legs off to get that "butter" off of them and then reboil them to get that "buttery seasoning" & smell off as best I could. I ordered a tray with 3-4 clusters of Snow crab legs and a blue crab tray. The only good thing I can say about this establishment is that the guy at the register was friendly. Sn: I've been to many seafood spots in Jax where they sell these type of trays... this was the worst I've had sadly. Seemed like they just didn't care about the quality of food just the $. This was only my first time here, so I'd say go for yourself and come to your own conclusion. Normally I would have taken a picture (because that's just what foodies do) but I was so put off that I forgot which is quite rare for me.

I will make the trip from Atlanta to Jax just for the #28. This was seasoned to perfection. Can't wait to return.

I love Blue crabs especially the "garlic crabs" They really know how to cook them in Jacksonville, Fla. This place is a small little take out place on the corner but wow...they are so delicious! Check then out if your ever in Jacksonville!

Well, I wanted to love this place but I just "like" it. The customer service? Great! Staff were patient and attentive. There's a lot to choose from and tons of different seafood combinations you can create as well as over 20 meals and platters you can choose from that are ready to be prepared.The seafood is fresh and the oysters are gargantuan! There's crab legs, blue crab, shrimp, mussels, scallops and so much more! With corn on the cob and potatoes amongst the sides, you can get a complete meal with more than just fries as the side option.There's also a small selection of mini market sauces, seasonings, and fresh fruits as well as chicken and lamb chops. Now to why I gave this just 3 stars. I ordered a platter of steamed blue crab, medium shrimp and those gargantuan oysters! I opted for the butter sauce with Old Bay for the streamed shrimp and oysters and kept the blue crab simple with the butter and garlic.The the sauce has a rich salty base that was put on soooooo thick with the seasoning that it completely drowned out the flavor of the seafood.The amount of salt and oil defeated the purpose of choosing streamed seafood in the first place. I can say that I may give this place a second try but all sauces will be on the side for sure. However, the quality of the food was good and the pricing was fair considering what they give you. Guess I'll have to see if the second time is the charm.

I think my search for garlic crabs is over. The walk in markets I've been to in Jax for this kind of delicacy have been um....questionable, but I love this kind of seafood so I grin and bear it. I always get my sauce on the side so I can control the amount. The butter garlic sauce is good but I prefer the less is more approach to the drowning my food in it. When I entered the store, I didn't have to steel myself against shystiness and mutter "ignorance is bliss" because it looks above board and professional. The store is clean, organized and well stocked. The service is friendly and prompt. I got 2.5 lbs of snow crab legs. It was fresh, big and super yummy. Gems from the ocean. Now I know where to get those gems without fearing I will also get germs.

W O R S T CRAB CAKE I have had in 50+ years. There is no crab in it. It looks like a flat chicken patty/hockey puck about 1/4 in thick. You cannot taste the crab at all .. just the filler!! PLEASE, do not waste your money. The hush puppies were overdone and hard. The FRIED shrimp (8) were translucent and STILL RAW. We could not eat them. I took pics in case the owner questions the validity of this review. Maybe the restaurant is better when blue crabs are in season and that's the reason for the good reviews. These meals were terrible. Going to the freezer section of your grocery store would provide a better product/meal at a lower price. The prices on the menu are way too high for the lack of quality of the food. I don't know if I'll give the restaurant another try. $40.00 wasted.

I travel to Jacksonville every six months for work. On one of my trips, I just happened to stumble across this awesome place kinda in the hood but man is it worth stopping by. I make a habit to stop by every trip I make to Jacksonville now. My recommendation would have to be the boiled shrimp in there garlic sauce with side of corn and potato. Staff is also very friendly and helpful.

Good fried seafood. We enjoyed it a lot and definitely a market frequented by the locals.
