Joe’s Crab Shack offers a variety of favorites from all parts of the sea and shore. From its extensive menu, guests can choose from buckets of seasonal seafood, fried shrimp platters and fish dishes, as well as options from the “mainland” that include steak, sandwiches, and chicken. Guests can indulge in over-sized and creative cocktails, such as the Shark Bite which is playfully garnished with a shark toy. Since its inception, Joe’s popularity has stemmed not only from its menu, but also its retail store. With various pieces of merchandise for purchase, including the ever-popular tie-dye T-shirt with the phrase “Peace, Love and Crabs,” Joe’s has become synonymous with the word “fun.”

    I’m not expecting “fine dining” by any means when I got to Joe’s Crab Shack but man has this place fallen off big time. You get half the food you used to get for twice the price. Everything was either over cooked or under cooked and they poured a pound of seasoning on one piece of food. It was a complete disappointment.

    I have had better seafood boils in my life but for what it was worth the king crab boil was a decent price. I was dissapointed because me and my girlfriend put on our reservation that it was our aniversery and there was no mention or recoginition of that by joe's. Overall good food for a good price and good experience.

    I enjoyed Joe's Crab Shack. The appetizers and food were delicious and we took food home with us. The service was excellent as we were slightly late due to rainy weather and they took care of rescheduling us without any problems. My family enjoyed the food and all of us look forward to coming again.
