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.” Unforgettable moments await at our Destin location and across the nation!

    The service is incredibly accommodating and very welcoming, although a bit high in terms of price it does offer excellent quality and many menu options

    We showed up with 15 people and got lucky to be sat in Chante's section. She was so great! She has a great personality and handled our party with ease. She handles the 8 kids in our party with ease. She handled all our drink requests and our dinner order was perfect. Thanks for a great experience Chante!!!

    最も最低なうちの一つと最も最悪なうちの一つの経験だった。食事の途中で席を移動させられ、食べ物も飲み物も頼んだメニューとは違うものを出され、店員は「まあイイか」とだけ言って去り。クラブ無しの食事を提供しておきながら、小さいサイズのドリンクを提供しておきながら、クラブ入りのメニューの金額と大きいサイズのドリンクの高額料金の請求書を渡して来てた。全くもって良くない。店としても人としても信用ならない。二度と行かない。人にも行かないように薦めたい。この店の行いが今後のデスティンの発展の妨げにならないことを祈る。
