History

Established in 1983.

The Crabby Bill's adventure started with Bill Loder and his wife Dolores who, in 1968, moved to Madeira Beach, Florida. They not only sold blue crabs along the roadside, but also did the fishing, clamming, and hauling of seafood all throughout the state until they finally opened their very own small restaurant, Captain Bill's Beach Kitchen in 1975. Mom cooked, Dad shucked clams, oysters, and the like while the kids pitched in to lend a helping hand. After several locations, including restaurants in Redington Shores, Madeira Beach, Bay Pines, and Tyrone, and many boats, crab traps and refrigeration trucks later, they moved in April of 1983 to Indian Rocks Beach. Crabby Bill's has continued to grow over the years. What started as a small 800 square foot building on Gulf Blvd now includes several additions to the Crabby Bill Family Brands: Jake's Coastal Cantina, Seabreeze Island Grill, Pipo N Betty's Bakery, and more!
