Went to Joe's not knowing what to expect and it turned out to be a pleasant experience. Nothing fancy here, utensils served up in a bucket that is used for scraps. Peel and eat shrimp, served hot with bay seasoning, was tasty, but cocktail sauce was in need of horseradish. Bartender was very friendly and service was great, would definitely go back.

Great seafood! Love their buckets. Crab legs, scallops, spicy, diablo, etc. All good stuff. Don't think my wife or i ever had anything bad there. Beers and drinks are good. They have some very interesting drink specials that will really keep you going. Very fun place. The atmosphere really lends itself to that eating crabs on beach feeling. Worth the trip to try it out.

Great bartender. Was very attentive without being a pest. Lots of drink choices but they seem a little amateur. With regards to the quality of the meal, there was very little attention to detail. My wife's steampot was without flavor. Bartender was able to get spices on the side. And with regards to my meal, well, my shrimp tacos were cold. Almost as if they sitting around.

Our server was the only good thing about our 1st time here & only reason why there is 2 stars! The commercials enticed us to celebrate my birthday @ Joe's. The restaurant was busy. The dining area is an open space, very loud, & congested. We were sat out on the enclosed patio. Our first seat, was unbearable. The sun shined brightly on our whole tables faces, making it very uncomfortable for us to enjoy anything. We moved ourselves to another open table, sun still shining directly in the eyes of some of our table. My husband actually ate dinner with his sunglasses on, a first by the way! When we complained, we were told the owner has known for over 20 years & hasn't done any thing. I will never return to Joe's ever again! It does not take much to apply tint to your patio windows or provide a shade. The bathrooms were disgusting, the paper towel holder falling off the wall in pieces, trash thrown all around. In addition to the glaring sun & dirty bathrooms, the patio was also filthy. There were piles of trash under tables & in walk ways. Regardless of how busy you are, you take time to keep a clean dining area for your patrons! Most of the food was mediocre, very limited for kids choices. Our appetizers were tasty & enjoyed. My overall experience was a good time with my family but the dining enjoyment was tainted by the sun, the lack of cleanliness, & the cost of the visit. I do not recommend Joe's Crab shack to somebody looking for a quiet, reasonable priced, dining experience. If you have never been there before, its an experience I am now able to say I have done.
