All you can eat stone crabs?

[Beth E.]

Are there any all you can eat stone crab places around? DH is in Florida and craving stone crabs. We used to go to Monty's but they are closed now.

DH is in the Boca area, but is willing to drive for good stone crabs.

Jake's but definitely not all-you-can-eat!

Wilma did a number on the stone crab harvest. I don't think you're going to find anyone offering an all-you can-eat option.

Call Billy's in Hollywood to see if they still offer AYCE stone crabs.

They do, and they said that tonight they'll be featuring AYCE of the "mediums", but they weren't going to know the price until after 4 pm.

I ate there twice in November and the claws were pristine and delicious, unlike many places (Monty's to name one, but not limited to there) where they've been unpleasant.

Billys is quoting the following prices for Lunch orders of stone crabs (not all you can eat) with the explanation that at dinner the prices are higher (you have to call after 4 pm for dinner quotes). But to give you an idea, today for lunch the mediums (7 claws) are $21, the Large (4 claws) are $32, and the Jumbos (2-3) are $39.

I can predict (from my November trip) that the all you can eat prices at dinner will be formidable; but the quality is definitely there.

I was going to go with all you can eat, but they talked me into starting with a dinner portion of 7 large and except to gorge myself needlessly one one or two more tastes, I really couldn't have eaten any more; I would have picked an additional crab perhaps, and paid a fortune to do so.

Please let us know how you make out!

There's a place in Key Largo that has a sign for AYCE stone crab, never tried it. It's in the median between the lanes.

DH and his friend ended up at Billy's. They had the AYCE and got their money's worth. DH said the stone crabs were excellent but the potatoes were nothing to rave about.
