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.”

    Kiandra was the perfect waitress. Happy, smiling, on time, knowledgeable, friendly. The crab legs were perfect. I spent an hour getting every bite. I highly recommend this place.

    We got a reservation and were seated near the outside so it was a little chilly. Once we were seated we waited for an hour and didn’t even have anyone come back to the table to refill drinks (we truly thought they forgot about us). There were only a few other people here so it wasn’t busy at all. Right when we were about to leave our food came out. Most of our plates were cold and got even colder quickly since it was chilly out. The steak was good but the seafood boil had little to no flavor sadly.

    Food was very good. Our server was a bit inattentive, but the experience was quite positive overall. The S’mores dessert is amazing!!

    Our waitress made the night. The food was just OK. None to her fault, there were only four people that showed up to work that day. Drinks came out slow but she made it fun and all better. Food had been sitting for a while.
