- JGJulius Green1 day ago5.0Was looking for a fun place to eat to bring back some memories. Glad we chose Joe's. Great atmosphere for the family, friendly attentive service, clean environment and good freshly prepared food. My daughter loved our waiter. He really paid attention to the random requests of a toddler, lol. We even met the GM who came to our table to ensure our experience was as expected. Hands down a ton of fun and good food. If your hungry on International Drive, EAT AT JOE'S 😋
- TCTim C Cummings1 day ago5.0The staff was very friendly and very helpful if we had an issue or a problem with something. It's been several years since we invaded Joe's and still love this place. Would recommend it to anybody that is on I Drive in Orlando.
- AAAnitaJan 5, 20263.0The got rid of the steam pots which I am upset about. They substituted the steam pots for a seafood boil, its not the same it doesn't even taste as good. I was so heartbroken why would they want to be like everyone else.
- BMBelkin MicroJan 4, 20265.0Hadn't eaten at a Joe's Crab Shack in quite awhile, we hit this place around 2pm for a late lunch and had the place to ourselves basically. Parking was no problem considering it's right on International Dr. The food surprised me, better and served hotter then I expected. I was impressed with the quality and service. Would stop here again.
- KPKami PotapowDec 26, 20252.0Such a disappointment. We used to come here every vacation, and it’s really gone down hill. The wait was extremely long for everything! (The restaurant was only about 1/2 full). I asked for unsweetened tea, got sweet. I ordered cheese bread for an appetizer, never got it. I ordered a queen crab boil, didn’t get an egg. They were out of bibs, (not a big deal)Then ordered the s’mores for dessert and it came out burnt. We came, we saw, we ate. Won’t be back. Sad. We really loved this place.
