Message from Joe's Crab Shack-Pacific Beach
Joe's is the kind of place that welcomes you in warmly and feeds you delicious seafood. But it doesn't stop there. It's here that good food, good times, and good memories are created everyday. We're a little quirky, but we're proud of it. So strap on a bib, order your favorite bucket of crab and don't be afraid to dance.

In ShortAdmittedly kitschy, unavoidably noisy, this Red Lobster for rug rats is like an oversized seaside shanty awash in oceanic memorabilia--fishing nets, souvenir trinkets, plastic flotsam and jetsam. Staffed with a lively crew of G-rated table-dancing servers, the family-friendly chain anchors its menu in all things crab: Crab balls, crab cakes, crab dip, crab gumbo. Finicky children opt for corndogs or hamburgers; shellfish-phobic adults dine on rib eye steak or mesquite-grilled chicken.

Insider Pages Reviews for Joe's Crab Shack-Pacific Beach
Okay, the Mission Valley Restaurant is okay. But the birthday party singing is ridiculous. I heard HB'day at least 7 times in a 30 min period. Other thing...don't ever go to the PB one!!! So gross...and dirty.
