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!

Been coming here for years and decided to visit twice this last week to say farewell to ‘Joe’s Crab Shack’ as it is closing for good this weekend. Taylor,Emily and the Rock Star Bartender Alfred were awesome to us. We love the staff and service we have had by these customer service professionals! The staff at Joe’s are very special people! Please keep the same crew at the new themed restaurant! Please keep the same music! Joe’s made us happy when we were in there! Thank you for the years of great service and best of luck with the new Restaurant:)
