Joe's Crab Shack - reviews,open hours,photo spots, things to do | WanderBoat AI Trip Planner

I want to start by saying that we’ve been to a Joe’s Crab Shack before…but this was, by far, our absolute favorite visit!! Other ones we’ve been to have been just OK. But this place was AMAZING. We only went because we were craving seafood…& it was right next to our hotel. Since it was the last night of our Vacay, we didn’t want to get out and go far. We were actually a little reluctant to go - but I’m SO GLAD WE WENT. The food. Oh my goodness - the food was INCREDIBLE. We started with the Great Balls of Fire. What a wonderful surprise! They were so crispy on the outside and so creamy with tons of flavor on the inside. My husband ordered the VooDoo Imperial IPA beer, and loved it. It was SO cold. I ordered a Passion Fruit Margarita, and was pleasantly surprised! It was SO MUCH better than just a basic marg. It was packed full of flavor, but not too sweet. It also came with a cute tie dye shaker that I was able to take home! My 10 year old had never had a mocktail before, so she ordered the job-alcoholic Berry & Blues. She LOVED it…plus, she got to keep the cute light up projector cup, which made her super excited. For dinner, my daughter got their chicken tenders, doing extra fries in place of the hush puppies and coleslaw. There were SO MANY chicken tenders. She took it home as leftovers, and ate on it for two more meals! My husband and I made the mistake of ordering the Shrimp and Seafood Ensemble, which is so yummy…but here’s where we went wrong - we BOTH ordered one. So we had our own. We easily could have shared it…& STILL had leftovers!!! It was all delicious - but the fish was my husband’s favorite…& the coconut shrimp was my favorite. The sauce they had for the coconut shrimp was DEVINE. My husband with with the normal fries, coleslaw, and hush puppy sides…& was happy with it all. I subbed the coleslaw for red potatoes. They were good, but could’ve used more seasoning. I do have to stamp that the food wasn’t the only great part of our visit. The atmosphere was incredible. There was a large family near us celebrating a young man’s birthday, who had some sort of disability. The staff came out and sang him happy birthday…& he was so excited, it was infectious. But the best part was how the staff found out that he loved the song “YMCA”. So the staff then performed it, and had him come up with them. He was dancing and having the time of his life! And honestly - we did as well! Everyone in the restaurant was singing and dancing and being a part. Seeing how happy they made that one young man touched our hearts, and brought my husband and I to tears. It was a beautiful, incredible experience…& I cannot speak highly enough of the staff at this establishment. Great job, guys. Everyone - GO HERE. You won’t be sorry.♥️♥️♥️

My husband and I arrived on friday around 4pm for Happy Hour. He ordered me a Bloody Mary and him a TKO Punch. Waitress brought back a Margarita and a TKO Punch. I went ahead and dranked the Margarita it wasn't bad although it was not what I ordered. My husband punch tasted like punch with no alcohol. We ordered the Calamari for appetizer. It came out fairly quick and hot. It had no seasonings on it what so ever. It was bland. I have never ordered tasteless calamari. Entrees: I ordered the Catfish entree. It came with red beans and rice and I ordered a side of Coleslaw. My coleslaw was good. My fish was fishy and to bland to eat. My red beans and rice were mushy with no seasonings. My husband ordered the Redfish and Lobster. He stated the sauce was ok but the fish tasted as if it had frost bite. He could barely eat it. Neither of us returned our food or drinks because we really hate to do that but we will never return to this establishment. We understand why only 4 tables were occupied on a Friday evening. We are not very picky eaters. The numerous reviews that state the food is bland are real. I understand why numerous locations are shutting down.

EDIT: We have always loved coming here because they support autism awareness month. April is autism's awareness month. The month my daughter was born. We literally have been coming here for years. It was always a joy to see the autism banners, flags and awareness signs. It felt more comfortable to take her here, for the fact that they were accommodating to her allergy and sensory needs. I KNEW something was different this year besides the fact they didn't sing, there was no autism's awareness any where. I just couldn't place my finger on it...I wonder why? We were there for my daughters 30th birthday and they really made her feel special. If you like the taste of seafood...THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO! And our waitress was fantabulous!!! And we have been back every year for her birthday. Absolutely delicious. Never disappointed. Service is always great. Sigh this year no birthday song. I was a little sad for her.

I had the Shrimp 3 ways which was pretty good. The grilled shrimp could've used some butter, but it still pretty good. The stuffed shrimp was absolutely delicious. Our waiter was very attentive and made sure we had everything. I also had the Bacardi Strawberry Lemonade which was soooo delicious. The Bacardi snuck up on me lol, but I ordered another one 😂😂. The manager went to a few tables while we were there for the 2 hours, but we noticed he never stopped at any of the tables that were all African Americans and we weren't the only ones to notice. He would walk past our table several times and speak to the caucasian people to see how they were doing while waiting for they're food or while they're eating. I'm not sure if it was on purpose but us and few different tables with African Americans noticed. Kind of made it weird, but All in all the food was pretty good.

This is going to be a little long so grab tissues. I'm a 2x cancer survivor and DV warrior. Both took so much from me including my teeth. After i found my husband and the most amazing dentist ever, I set up to start fixing my teeth and my confidence. The night before my first surgery, we ate at this exact store. The same manager and the same order of food. 3 years later, today was my last visit of my journey with my dentist with full smiling. My first food to have was Joe's. Bree was our waitress and she was so amazing, attentive and makes the ABSOLUTE DELICIOUS peach tea I've ever had. Please, give that beautiful person a raise!!!! The manager went around and talked with us and other guests just like he did that very first night. We will always be back to Joe's and have it hold a special place in my heart.
