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.”

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.

Food was extremely cold and we never got a drink refill. When confronting the manager about this, he didn’t even seem to care and we still didn’t get our drinks. He remade one plate and was extremely rude. It was the kitchen having problems not the server, if you’re understaffed then don’t take so many tables. Terrible management
