"From my first interaction with the gentleman who I'll assume owns it. The experience was like i was a regular. Marvis (i believe was his name and i apologize for poor spelling or if im wrong) but a genuinely Very nice guy and when I realized I hadn't grabbed enough cash for a drink he offered to give me one to try free of charge. People dont do that anymore. They do their own juice drinks. I got blue lemonade it was so cold it was nearly a slush which wasn't a bad thing at all it was AWESOME and a Delicious drink and great way to start. I got 6 really nice sized crab in spicy Cajun style butter. They were fast and for under $20 i don't think you'll find better anywhere. And on the weekends they smoke everything from crabs to ribs. Fresh hot boiled peanuts great seafood deals and even barbecue. Definitely recommend trying. They will be my new go to for blue crabs for sure"

"Always a pleasure, and if my food isn’t correct or cooked properly, they always fix it either that day or when I mention it. I usually get either muddy trays or spicy garlic or sides. They are always on point and for people who don’t eat pork or beef they cook everything separate. There are only a few crab spots that do that in St. Pete and I am so glad Channels is it! They are my favs!"

"I passed by this place randomly and a guy offered me and my friend a free sample - the best culinary thing that happened to me during my vacation! I tried the fried shrimp and it was by far the best tasting seafood I've ever had. The garlic sauce was also really good. Had a nice talk with the folks hanging there and I'm definitely planning to eat here when I'm back in Florida."

"This stuff is so delicious. The muddy crab with garlic and spice is very unique. I went back and got a second large crab if you are in St Pete and want to try Creole southern style seafood including a wide variety of crab, shrimp, and mussels. Yummy"
