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.”

    I was so disappointed in the food. We were greeted by two very nice people. This has always been our favorite place to eat when we come to Tempe. The food the boil was over cooked and not hot. The seasoning was baked on very strange. My salmon was cold, the jasmine rice was in a ball cold . We mentioned to wait staff and another person wearing black clothing but only said sorry .

    The meals were good but the temperature of the food should have been hotter. Beans were cool and rest of my turkey dinner was just warm.

    Service was very good, but the food was not that good and certainly not worth the price paid.

    Great place for kids. Lots of food and drink choices. There is even a mini gift shop in the front of the restaurant and a playground pirate ship outside.

    Went for a Father’s Day lunch with my large family. Food was okay, my whole family got their meals relatively quickly while my meal took an additional 15mins to come out. Employees kept trying to sell us things we didn’t want some kind of membership and then another over the PA system talking about a “big sale on merchandise only available while this crappy song plays” which ruined the experience. Waitress was nice but a little slow and couldn’t read my face when I asked for the check that I wanted it now and instead brought it out 10 mins later. I’m not planning on returning any time soon.
