Message from Joe's Crab Shack

Merchant_icon

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 Short
Admittedly 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.

Key Points

  • Riverfront Dining
  • Group reservations accepted
  • Playground/Patio

The Inside Scoop

  1. Save Money - Discounted menus are offered for seniors, students and large groups.
  2. Know Before You Go - You may want to bring some extra cash to buy a tie-dyed T-shirt or an irreverent pair of boxer shorts from the gift shop.

Reviews for Joe's Crab Shack

Ratings_icons Great Food!

I love Joe's Crab Shack and wish I could go there more often. Not only is their waitstaff great, but so is their food. My boyfriend and I try to go as often as we can and we always come home with a goody bag because it's so much food. Thinking it might be crowded on a weekend and you'll be wrong. We always get seated right away and have even decided to take family there to celebrate Christmas tonight. Keep up the great work guys!
