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

  • Playground/Patio
  • Happy Hour Mon-Fri 3-7pm
  • Near Cowboys & Rangers Stadium

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.

This is such a fun place to eat. Wait staff are pleasant and food is great. I got a salad with crabmeat and it was very tasty and just the right size.

This is a fun family place that serves kid friendly food and awsome drinks for mom and dad. My personal favorite... The BBQ crab legs and the crab cakes. My daughter loves the popcorn shrimp, and her dad can love the broiled seafood plate. The portions are a good size and all in all the value is fair. But remember this is a seafood joint. For a family of 3 and a few alcoholic drinks and an apitizer will run you $60.

We live in Missouri and when my husband had to work in that area of Texas about 15 years ago he used to eat at this chain. He was so excited to find one and was hoping for their "endless bucket of Crabs" like he use to get. He was really disappointed when they no longer did this. We ordered crabs with veg. and baked potatoe. The veg. were cold as were the med. size crabs. Maybe it was because of the disappointment my husband faced but we weren't very impressed. It was a little pricey for no more than we recieved expecially since the coast isn't that far.
