Hungry for some local food on your way to a show? Want a cool “locals only” spot to visit after the finale for dessert and conversation? Check out these local hot spots recommended by Thrasher-Horne Center staff members, and let us introduce you to the best our area has to offer! With Thrasher-Horne Center Food Finds, we plan to bring you a monthly spotlight that will turn your simple night at the theatre into a full-fledged event that you and your guests will remember for years to come!
Just down the street from our front door is one of the coolest new restaurants in the Orange Park area – The Crafty Crab. Hailing from Melbourne, Florida, this New Orleans style seafood restaurant is known statewide for their low country boils, gumbos, and raw & steamed oysters. This is the second location for this family-friendly chain, and they’ve decided to drop it right here in our backyard.
The Crafty Crab offers the freshest seafood and most authentic recipes in the area. When you walk into their restaurant, you’ll immediately experience Southern charm and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere to make you feel right at home. Whether you’re stopping in for a business lunch, family dinner, date night, or a night out with friends, Crafty Crab is the perfect spot (and their close proximity to our theatre make them a wonderful solution for pre-show dinner and drinks). Their ocean-loving chefs serve up delicious home-style seafood with generous portions in every meal. They’re cooking up crab, crawfish, calamari, and lobster in the kitchen… all made fresh daily. Not into shellfish? Try their Cajun rice, chicken tenders, and other flavorful menu options.
At Crafty Crab, they know food tastes better with your hands, so don’t be shy—dig in! Their signature New Orleans Style low country boil is a feast for seafood lovers and perfect for a casual dinner. They even create their own unique seasoning mix for the ideal arrangement of flavors. For an experience that satisfies your appetite while ensuring a fun time, make sure to visit Crafty Crab before your next evening of entertainment at Thrasher-Horne Center!
