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 Jacksonville location and across the nation!

- IBIrene Bates3 days ago5.0Fabulous waitress who recommended a coffee shop for later. Had terrific flounder fishplatter. Loved the view, weather was beautiful, and crowd was light. It was not our first visit. I always visit the outdoors when able.
- MEMy email6 days ago1.0During my time there, I noticed that customer concerns about dishes being too spicy didn’t get much attention from management. The management does not take their job seriously. The service is absolutely terrible. Do not waste your time. It is also not a very clean place as they do not provide enough cleaning supplies for staff to properly clean the area.
- TTTheyNotLikeUsNov 17, 20255.0Fantastic! Definitely worth the visit! Food is excellent! We tried 6 different meals and they were all delicious! CRAB BOIL 🦀 FRIED SHRIMP 🍤 SPICY CHICKEN, top choices! The drinks are affordable and u KEEP THE SOUVENIR GLASS they serve it in!!! 🍹 The place was short staffed and they handled it well, all employees were trying their best with exceptional service and food. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
- BHB HaggertyNov 12, 20254.0Food was good to very good, server was great. The salmon was slightly overcooked but very tasty- I would order it again. The fried foods were good but the fries not great. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed and they have a small gift shop that has some nice shirts available. It cost $100 for two people including tip and a shared dessert with no alcohol so be prepared as we had some of the lower cost entees! Campfire s'mores dessert was amazing.
- JJJust JOct 31, 20254.0Nice venue. Was there on Halloween and server seemed more interested in that than making sure we had the things we needed such as napkins. We never did get any. we had to use those tiny weird cocktail napkins until there was nothing left of them. Also, I wish these days that restaurants would train their staff to remove empty glasses from the table instead of letting them accumulate. That’s very tacky and such an easy thing to fix
