Red Crab Juicy Seafood's Melbourne location at 425 E. Eau Gallie Blvd. has permanently closed. The restaurant posted a sign on July 24 stating 'Electrical issues, closed today' before the company announced the closure via Facebook on Aug. 1. The post cited 'unfortunate circumstances' as the reason for shutting down the Space Coast location. The restaurant, which operated for several years, was known for its crab boils and had been a local fixture in Melbourne. The company thanked customers in its Facebook message, urging them to support other Red Crab locations across Florida and beyond. The chain now operates in 14 states, with additional Florida locations in Delray Beach, Eustis, Orange City, and Port St. Lucie. The closure comes after the restaurant initially faced electrical problems, which may have contributed to the decision. The company did not specify further details about the circumstances leading to the shutdown. The building at 425 E. Eau Gallie Blvd. will remain vacant, marking the end of Red Crab's presence in Brevard County. Local diners who frequented the restaurant expressed surprise at the news, with some noting the location's popularity during peak seafood seasons. The chain's other Florida locations continue to operate, though the Melbourne closure is a significant loss for the area's dining scene.
