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.”

Absolutely terrible. Took 45 min to get our food but everyone around us got theirs so it was hard to believe that the kitchen was running behind. I think we were forgotten. We were never asked if we wanted refills. When our food came, we had no forks to eat so we asked our waiter and he brought back crab tools, but no fork or knife to eat a steak with. Then we ended up just going to ask a different waiter to give us some. The food was not good at all. The steak was an edible. But the clam chowder to start was very nice.

We arrived for our 5pm reservation and were told we were checked in and to sit and wait. We saw at least 4 other parties sat immediately. At 15 minutes I looked at my phone and saw a message asking if I was on my way. I went to the desk but there was no one to help me. A waitress was helping another customer and I asked her what I should do. She sat us at a table b a door to a enclosed patio. The waitress greeted us and brought us water and asked about drinks. we were not provided a drink menu. She got us one and said that she would give us a few mintues. We ordered both food and drinks when she came back. It took a half and hour to get our drinks! I could see the bar so I know our waitress went to ask for them and the bar tender finally got them. We ordered a few more drinks later and our waitress had to go to the bar tender to get them. Food took a long time too. We will probably not return.

Server was friendly but forgetful. We reserved a table at 3pm (not busy whatsoever) and after a quick order of drinks and food, it took about 45 min for us to receive our food. The food itself was luke warm and no longer in the iconic steam pots. The oil and butter had congealed and the quality did not seem nearly as good as in previous years. This is an annual event for me and my family and ownership may have changed since last year (seems like a typical cause for such a drastic decline) but I was severely disappointed. Thanks for the good memories Joe’s Crab Shack, we will be finding a new seafood spot for our Christmas tradition!

The value for the fun atmosphere and service used to outweigh the price of food. Unfortunately, during this experience, our server took 2 1/2 hours, checking on us infrequently. Reservation system worked. Hosts/hostesses were preoccupied with the floor instead of the door.

This place has seriously declined. The food was disgusting, and the service was terrible. We arrived two hours before closing, and it felt like they just threw some old food onto our plates and rushed us out the door. It was way too expensive for such a dreadful experience. Additionally, it was my mom's birthday—a key reason for our visit—but they didn’t even acknowledge it with a simple "Happy Birthday," let alone a song. I am so disappointed.
