Worst experience in Florida

by Carolyn wooldridge at Citysearch

Tonight we visited Fulton's Crab House!! So disappointing. We had the fried fish platter! Mistake!!! Fish was soggy and French fries were limp. The shrimp were like little hard stubs!!! Absolutely no flavor! Worst of all was the "tartar sauce". My wife and I did not recognize the taste. Waiter said it was made of mashed potatoes!!!mistake!! We love good food and are never concerned about the price if food is acceptable!,, This place is totally ridiculous.save your money!

Great!!

Anybody who says this restaurant is bad is just all worked up about the price.

if you dont have the money to go to a realllly nice classy restaurant and are going to cry about the bill, dont go

I went there twice and both times the food was AMAZING

Each day they fly freshly caught fish in from California and all over the country and list the name of who caught it and the location on the menu.

If you complain about having to wait to be seated, then dont go there on a saturday night..

If you dont want to spend too much money, i suggest you get one of their soups (crab & lobster bisque, and clam chowder) which are both great! For one of these soups and a caesar salad it will cost about $13.

And if you complain about wait times, thats your own fault. You tell them when you want your food and what order you want to eat it in, so if you want your food at a certain time, tell them instead of complaining about your own mistake on a ratings website

• Pros: Awesome food. Great Atmosphere
• Cons: Price

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE!!!

My husband and I and our baby daughter met my niece and her husband and stepson at Fulton's on December 22 for lunch. We were horribly disappointed and I was embarrassed that I even suggested this floating nightmare. We made reservations and still had to wait 15 minutes for a table. We then had to wait 20 minutes to get our drinks...just sodas and glasses of water, mind you. We then had to wait FORTY FIVE MINUTES for my husband's cold calamari. I was not impressed and I should have read the other horrible reviews about this restaurant. We should have gone to T-Rex or Rainforest Cafe. It would have been a lot more fun. We sat there waiting and waiting and the food was cold. No one had any fun. I live here in Orlando and I am certainly telling you NOT TO GO TO this restaurant no matter what. Also, the food is WAY, WAY too overpriced for what you get. Red Lobster is SO MUCH better!

• Pros: nothing at all!
• Cons: cold food and WAY TOO expensive!

warning...dont waste your money or time

by kymommy at Citysearch

I love seafood. I also love nice restaurants. Well this one thinks its a nice restaurant, charges high prices, but thats it, its not. I had better food at ihop. This place is WAY overpriced!!! I ordered flounder, $28.00, and comes with NO sides. For that much money, i expect perfection. I received it on the cold side and overcooked! the waitress even "warned" that they tend to undercook fish, since it is so fresh, but not in my case. They have sooo many customers they turn around, they absolutely do not care about you. My husbands overpriced steak was tuff, he had to send it back, 12 TINY oysters were $27.00 and we weren't allowed to have crackers cause the "chef" doesn't believe in them, they were not anything special, they sucked!

We were thinking we might be overreacting until another couple walking out at the same time said their food was horrible and terribly overpriced. All the servers have their noses in the air like they are the best. There are so many other restaurants, eat somewhere else. Oh yeah, i ordered a ceaser salad too, you get better at Wendys! and i love homemade dressing, this was the worst, certainly did not taste like homemade.

no manager ever comes around to check on you. they dont care.

• Pros: location
• Cons: terrible food, terrible service, way overpriced

Horrible tourist trap!

by dedet at Citysearch

Horrible tourist trap! We were hoping to find a great seafood restaurant or at least a decent crab shack. It was neither. Even with the 10% discount for annual passholders, it was not worth it. The average entree was $40.00. The calamari appetizer was inedible(you could get better and fresher calamari at Carrabbas or Red Lobster) and looked like it came out of a frozen bag. The house salads were wilted and had obviously been sitting around too long. The soups were ok, but nothing to write home about. The tuna appetizer was dry and bland (you could get better tuna at Cheesecake Factory). Kids meals were nothing special (runny mac n'cheese), and when my husband asked for a refill on his lemonade, we were told they were not complimentary, and then no one bothered to show up to fill our waters. Although we requested lemon wedges, they never came. Stuffed shrimp entree was try and tasteless and accompanied by a large untrimmed hunk of broccoli. We will never go back and do not recommend it to anyone, unless they just want to pay for overpriced food and consider it an admission fee to step on a fake theme boat overlooking the water.

• Pros: none
• Cons: too many to list!
