CJ's
Crab House
The place
CJ's Crab House holds down the other end of Norwood's crab corridor — seasoned crab, shrimp plates, and fried seafood at ★4.4 across 490 reviews. The neighborhood argues CJ's vs. Jville; you should too. No website.
Every real food corridor needs a rivalry, and Norwood Avenue has one of Jacksonville's best: CJ's vs. Jville, two crab houses blocks apart, each with its partisans and neither with a website. CJ's case: seasoning with deeper heat, fried seafood plates that hold their own beside the boils, and 490 reviews at ★4.4 built on Northside loyalty.
The correct answer to the rivalry is both — same afternoon, compare notes, pick your side. That's the crab-crawl Jacksonville's food scene doesn't know exists.
What to expect
Crab by the cluster or boil bags; the fried plates are the sleeper strength. Ask for the heat honestly — their seasoning means it. $$ pricing, carryout strong.
