   Great location. Appropriately and nicely decorated dining area. Service was great. Food - we live in a coastal, Georgia city where fresh seafood is readily available, so we can benchmark what good seafood is. Joe's Crab Shack was an absolutely pleasant surprise. It was very good.

   Food was mediocre, the server was stoned and forgot everything we said, forgot sauces, forgot silverware, got drinks wrong. It appears this location has went downhill significantly since the last time I was here. Couldn’t not recommend coming back.

   The food was delicious (I highly recommend the shrimp and crab dip), the service was great, the price was higher than other places.

   Joey M took great care of us. He was attentive and thoughtful, getting us stuff before we even asked for it (refills, melted butter, etc). The food was fantastic as usual. We were so exited to find Joe’s in Louisville, as it moved out of our metro area about 10 years ago.

   We didn’t have an experience, because the restaurant was closed. Even though our reservation had been confirmed, and we were coming in from out of town, when we arrived, the restaurant was in shambles from the flooding. It was a party of 20, and I had to find a place to accommodate 20 guests that I invited out. I’m not sure if it’s Joe‘s crab shack’s problem, if they did not report to you, or if it’s your problem for not listing it as close. However, you are the company that confirmed our reservations, and it was a disaster. Figuratively and environmentally. It makes me lack trust with using open table as a tool for outings.

   we has a reservation...don't bother with that because when you arrive for your reservation you will only be put on the waiting list ...which was another 45 minute wait. Why take reservations then? Once seated drinks took 20 minutes. We ordered our meals...45 minutes later I'm flagging down the manager....it took nearly 1 hour for our food...and then it was wrong. worst Joe's I've ever been to.

   We drive 3.5 hours on a spontaneous idea to dine here. Although it was busy, we waited over one hour for drinks and hour and twenty minutes for food. Appetizers calamari was ice cold and the crab legs were too. Atmosphere here is really neat tho right on the river.
