Crave's Coastal Kitchen & Cocktails CLAIMED

We used to always stop here when visiting on vacation when it was Martin's, but Craves is just as good and still offers great steaks plus some other good menu options and an interesting selection of cocktails. They also have a refreshed decor and of course the views are just as nice.

Service seemed a little "off" but our food was delicious and my steak was excellent. Good spot along the beachfront with plenty of parking.

We enjoy Crave's fish fry on Friday. They have haddock, which I like, and you get a good-sized piece. They have very good fries and saw as well, and they have good mixed drinks. Never had bad service here, and the setup is nice.

The seafood combo was very good, and my hubby enjoyed the prime rib. Very friendly servers, and it's a nice, spacious restaurant with good views. They also have some lovely mixed drinks and desserts.

Crave’s is a great choice in Flagler Beach. It’s more of an inside restaurant than most places so is best for the colder weather. I had the prime rib and wife had a seafood platter and both were superb. The hot garlic wings and potato skins starters were also excellent. The service was top notch and we had a good table with a view.

I had the triggerfish and shrimp special and it was quite good... the sauce was nice, the fish was a bit thin and you only get 4 shrimp, and the rice pilaf tasted just like Uncle Bens. It was an OK meal though and our drinks were good. Server seemed distracted.

This is a large, spacious restaurant with great views and very friendly staff. Our meals tonight were superb and the cocktails are amazing. The fillet was melt in the mouth tender and perfectly seasoned, and the lobster tail was perfectly cooked. We had a wonderful time and left feeling like we've found our new favorite restaurant. Thank you Crave's 👏

We had a pretty good experience here but didn't find anything very exciting. The food is typical fair and the drinks lean toward sweet. We thought the portion to price ratio was off! The server was quite good but kind of lacking in enthusiasm. Overall I feel like Craves is dated and needs some personality and more originality with the food.

Crave's Coastal Kitchen accepted a 16 person reservation for our family vacation group on a Friday night in July. Most restaurants on A1A are on a first come first serve basis. We were seated in 2 adjacent tables of 8 overlooking a picturesque view of the ocean. Our reservation was at 5:30pm and were finished being served by 7:30pm including appetizers, drinks and dinner.

Highlight of visit: Service was excellent and guests especially enjoyed the Prime Rib, Pecan and Bourbon Salmon, Shrimp and Scallops, Gator Bites, Fish Dip Appetizer, Tangy Mango Cocktail and House White Zinfandel. Not one complaint! The younger generation had fun taking photos after dinner in front of the ocean! Thank you for an enjoyable experience!

Prime rib as very good but the lobster tail was flavorless and rubbery. At nearly $50 it wasn't worth it! Only one side offered! Wife had a salad with salmon and liked it. Bar drinks were good but slow arriving.

I think craves is somewhere you have to choosey on what to order... portions can be small and limiting for the cost and while some dishes that our arty ordered were good, some were not so great. My steak was tender but had no flavor and I had to add salt, pepper and sauce to get some taste, but my wife really liked her swordfish. I won't speak for the other 4 people in our party except to say the impressions were mixed. Our waiter was also not very pleasant and clearly wasn't a happy guy and made sure everyone knew it... very unprofessional! We did like the atmosphere and thought that with its misgivings, Crave's has a lot of potential. I wish them well.

I had their fish fry previously which was excellent, and then I had the blackened special with flounder and shrimp over pilaf rice with a cajun sauce, which wasn't as good. The flounder was on the dry side and the blackening season really had no flavor, and the rice was just like Uncle Ben's, but I did like the sauce. Service was OK this time but it was faster and friendlier before.

The fillet and fried shrimp were a great combo and went down very well. The young lady serving was energetic and friendly and the restaurant's vibe was cool. I was worried about losing Martins but Craves is an awesome replacement.

Nice bar and great Friday fish fry! Service was friendly and efficient and the drinks were very good. Did enjoy Craves.

Highlight of visit: Their fish fry on Fridays is awesome.

We're back in Flagler Beach since the pandemic and was surprised to see our old favorite Martin's is now Craves. We gave the new place a try and found it a big improvement. Craves is mostly steaks and seafood with a few sandwiches, and as we were expecting Martin's prime rib, I tried the Craves one, and it was excellent. The 40 oz was too excessive for me so I just had the 20 oz and even that was a lot of meat, but very tender and nicely seasoned. My wife had a seafood combo plate and thought it was very tasty. My only complaint is that with a $40 steak, I would have expected a choice of more than just one side which I thought was kind of cheap of them. However, Craves is a very nice restaurant with good service and they certainly do prime rib justice.

A definite improvement over the former Martin's but still some room for more. Service was slowish and the food could do with a little more care. The calamari app was good but the breading fell off when trying to dip. My fish was very watery and lacked any flavor which made me think it was frozen, however my husband loved his steak and fries. Our drinks were very good and the atmosphere is more fresh and much more coastal.

We had quite a good experience here... thought it was closed at first as it's quite plain on the oustside. The staff were friendly and offered a lobster special which I had. Food came out quicker but drinks were slow. The lobster was quite good but the meat had no flavor... none of that fresh ocean taste. My wife has some salmon dish which she liked but said the salmon was dry, but had a good sauce. I definitely liked it much better than it was as Martin's but they have a few more tweaks to go yet.

Everything all around was excellent!! Prime rib was superb! The warm water lobster tail delicious. Drinks spot on! My kind of place.

I was not impressed with my cocktail... bacon belongs on a plate not in an Old Fashioned! Totally ruins good whiskey. But the rest of my meal was impressive. Had a delicious Surf and Turf with steak and lobster... steak was butter soft and the lobster tail was a good size. Will also say that their Minorcan Clam Chowder is excellent. Nice inside and the service was on top form. The outside needs some curb appeal though... looks like an office building driving by.

Highlight of visit: Get a bowl of Minorcan Clam Chowder... the cup was not enough!

Went with friends and had a fun evening with some good music, delicious food and great drinks. Our server was very good and everything was cooked as ordered. Had the best steak in ages! Thought the prices were fair considering today's crazy inflation.
