Willy T's Crab Shack

We tried out Willy T's Crab Shack back in October at a Jazz festival in Sanford's Centennial Park. Willy T's has been around for a while, and I have been meaning to give them a try. We ordered the Big Fish with fries (13.80 with tax). The Fish was perfectly cooked with a nice golden-brown crust, served with tartar sauce, lettuce & tomato on a hoagie roll. The chef knew that my wife and I were sharing the dish, so he was nice enough to add extra fries. We could tell that our meal was fresh & cooked to order.My only complaint that I have is that with Covid-19 restrictions in place during the event, I was surprised to see the operators of the food truck serving customers without face coverings. Also, there was no hand sanitizer available, and the condiments were organized in a way that anyone could cross-contaminate the packages.We would return to Willy T's in the future because the owners are friendly and the food is delicious; however, I recommend that the business take more serious Covid-19 precautions during these events to encourage consumer confidence in purchasing their product.

I ordered the 12 piece breaded shrimp platter with hush puppies. It was all very good, particularly the hush puppies. The server was friendly and they accept credit cards. I would definitely recommend this food truck!

The guys at Willy Ts were so nice. My mom was in the mood for some fried fish, just fried fish and they were happy to accommodate. Seeing that I was on a Drs prescribed special diet, I wasn't going to have the pleasure of ordering until I mentioned I could have a cup of veggies each day. That's when they told me that even the entree only orders receive their signature coleslaw. Like most food trucks I expected a on ounce or 2 scoop but when the fresh and hot fried fish was ready it was laying on top of a generous portion of mouth watering slaw. I have become quite the veggie coniseur in the last few months and this slaw was delicious. It was a brocolli slaw base which is one of my favorites, with carrots and cabbage all mixed in a creamy dressing. I have to admit I was a little bummed thinking I wasn't going to be able to enjoy the food trucks with my friends and family, but the guys at Willie T's helped make it an enjoyable time! I look forward to trying some of their crab in the future!Happy dining!

I encountered this food truck at the Light Up Clermont event. One of many seafood trucks; however, what set this one apart was the crab. They were the only one to offer the crab and I was willing to pay whatever I had to for good crab. The pairing threw me off a bit because I couldn't imagine placing a breaded patty on a bun to mask the flavor of some great crab but I went with it; $16 for this and fries. It came with lettuce, tomato, fries and a garlic aioli. I opted to get hush puppies instead because I'm not the biggest fan for fries. The hush puppies tastes ok but were on the small side and probably because of that they were overcooked. They served a good amount of them but I would opt for a small quantity if the hush puppy was bigger. It would be less likely for it to overcook. The crab cake had a great flavor but it was deep fried. I've never had a deep fried crab cake before. All I've ever had were pan seared which made this feel overly cooked. It was also extremely small for the price. I realize that the cost of food has drastically increased and if they were compensating for that then let us be sure that we are serving up the very best (i.e., pan fried, and good quality ingredients). The last component (garlic aioli) is what I typically look forward to the most but it is served into a very small container which makes it impossible to dip anything but fries and then they use a lot of course ground pepper. It makes it very spicy and hard to enjoy the garlic creamy goodness. It tasted ok but it can get overwhelming very quickly.Lets talk prices for a moment. Everyone at the event charged $5 for a side of fries. This was the only truck to charge $7. What is so amazing about these fries that they can charge so much more? Do they make them from scratch? Give you a huge portion that can serve 3 people? I don't quite get it. Granted, I didn't taste them. This is just a cost analysis A food truck has very little overhead beyond the costs of the ingredients and the actual truck. If a 10 lb bag costs $10 at max or a 28 oz bag of frozen higher quality brand costs $4 at max, that means they are making a killing off of it (About $10-17 profit on the frozen bag depending on the portion size per order or $60 IF the serving was 1 lb per side).

Their food truck was at Southern Hills Farm. We all had the crab cake sandwich with onion rings and fries. Everything was left in the deep fryer way to long. The crab cake was overcooked and small, the onion rings were burned. A total waste of $15.

It's is supposed to be a crab shack. There is one problem. The so called crab cake was about 80% fill and I am being generous. It actually feels like you are eating a hush puppy with a hint of crab in it, almost undetectable. But I have heard good things about this place and will be giving it another chance. Maybe just a bad night.

Fish sandwich was good with a side of hush puppies. Disappointing to see there is a crab shortage so unable to eat crab, which was the reason we went to this place. Menu very limited for sure.

Well another supposed food truck Friday in our community, and another food truck claiming they "were in an accident" and couldn't make it. Not kidding- third time in 3 months!! Promised my wife a lobster roll, not happening! Not sure what is going on with scheduling, but unreliable. Do Not schedule your event relying on this company.

Menu looks amazing. The lobster roll has so much lobster. The crab meat tacos look awesome. I love how the crab cake sandwich has garlic aioli on it. Checking it out today

Was excited to try this food truck. Really wanted a crab cake with sides not a sandwich. Wasn't an option , ended up with clam strips and Mozella sticks .. paid and tipped waited for food . when i got to table and opened the container, the food was way too dark. deep fried too long. lots of small pieces like rocks Reminded me of mrs paul from grocery freezer section at store .the Mozella sticks i peeled off breading. was the only good part of meal. they throw lettuce pieces under the hot clams to make it look bigger and of course these were nasty and soggy will not use these guys again. they did sell coke products though should have just gotten a coke although it was probably way over priced
