    Had the garlic crab and boyfriend had the Mexican Shrimp Cocktail. It only came with 4 shrimp but he said they were good. Had the corn fritters appetizer. Not sure if we will come back, it wasn’t mind blowing.

    I have been to lunch here several times with friends of mine. The grouper sandwich is great and my friends loved the deviled crab. Large portions and good food. You have enough food to eat at home a second time! And if you get the chance try the coconut and pineapple cake. It’s probably the best cake I’ve had in my life and I’m A senior citizen! Lol.

    I really liked this place. Very nice staff. Just a simple place to get some good food. I loved the soft shell crab sandwich and crab cake I got and my friends enjoyed their food as well. I arrived as soon as they opened and the meal took a while to get to us because they had to cook it fresh. Worth the wait because it tasted awesome!

    Loved this place and Miss Doris was amazing. Being from Maryland I am very particular about crabs. The large were small by Maryland standards but the crab was sweet! They were prepared slightly different with less Old Bay spice than I am used to but cooked perfect. The other difference is the side butters were garlic which was yummy but my favorite was they cleaned the crabs for you!!! I will definitely be back when I'm in the Tampa area!

    This is the best seafood place that I have had the experience to eat at. It's locally owned and everyone is always friendly and exceptionally nice. You go in and have a seat either inside or outside and they wait on you promptly. The devil crabs are fantastic. They are well worth the money, I get them every time I go to eat at Linda's. All the food is great. Let me tell you.... you have to have a piece of Linda's coconut cake, it is out of this world wonderful. My friend and I had to fight the waitress over the last two pieces of it last time we were there because she wanted to take it home and we said no way that's ours. LOL Well..... of course she gave in and we took it home with us. ENJOY

    Doris is an amazing waitress who had been there for 26 years. I have eaten there before many years ago and figured that I would take my kids there tonight while we were out....needless to say I was in shock when they asked to go back again cause they loved the food (normally they are picky about none chain restaurants). The food was amazing and the service was great.

    If you're looking for big city atmosphere, go to the big city and spend big city prices. This has always been down home for me and my family for years. The food has never disappointed me, I've always expected down home seafood cooking, and it never disappoints.

    I do my best to plan my trips from Lutz till Fri so I can have their spaghetti and crab meat. Comes with bread and a fresh cut salad. It's some of the best I've ever eaten and a good size portion too. Everything else Ive ordered on other visits were fresh and good too. Great service to go with the excellent food.

    This place is fantastic. The deviled crabs are full of crab unlike some places. Large portions, very fair pricing, clean, the best ice tea I have had in a very long. Service was fantastic. A must try in my opinion

    Much smaller inside than you would think. Very cozy and clean, also has a lot of outdoor seating. The staff is very friendly and it feels like going to an old friend's place. Food was good, I had the devil crabs.

    Delicious Homemade with love ! I’m visiting the area & found the spot on Google searching for real authentic seafood & it is amazing <3

    This place is wonderful both the food and staff! My fiance and I were having our engagement photos done in Plant City and we stopped at Lindas for a snack and beer before the photos. The staff was kind and informative and fun, food was delish and beer was cold!

    You order the food they cook it, so it's usually fresh food, takes a few minutes longer if they are busy, we had shrimp, Devel crabs,grouper sandwich, everything was good

    Food was good but like most places now, not everything on the menu was available. Place was nice and server was very friendly. Will go back. Deviled crabs were very good.

    This was the worst place I’ve ever eaten. I never write reviews but I had to this time. I saw “crab plate” on the menu, and I figured that just meant crab legs. I asked the waitress and she said “it’s just crab with two sides”. So I assumed that just meant it was normal crab legs with sides. NOPE! It was mushy crab that tasted like it had been sitting out, fried in what seemed like a giant hush puppy- only it was mushy and tasted like throw up. I couldn’t get through more than a couple bites. I had my friend taste it and he spat it out. It was horrible and disgusting. His food was terrible too. Everything tasted like old cafeteria food. Just gross.

    Best seafood around, but their devil crabs are the best I have ever eaten. DEFINITELY WILL BE A RETURNING CUSTOMER FOR LIFE 💯

    I love this place so much! One time I went there, the food was cooked very nicely and I loved their groupers. Doris was amazing, such a great waitress. She is a literal gem, she is so nice and I appreciated her service very much. I would gladly come here again for their amazing, quality, and delicious food. Definitely recommend for all people to enjoy!

    Just sending a review because I was very disappointed, ordered grouper fillet which was cooked too long, hush puppies and fried okra, what I was about 16 and some change which I didn’t mind Paying. But I looked up seafood restaurants and this was recommended best. That was my first and last time there very dissatisfied
