    Our waiter was great, but when you go to Joe's you're either going for their drinks or paying for the name. Juicy Crab down the road has much better food and prices.

    My husband and I ate at Joe's Crab Shack on Nov. 10th. Our server, Chris Ford, was amazing. He shared his expertise on menu items, was friendly and made an effort to get to know us. It was a wonderful dinner experience for our short vacation.

    We came down for a week and on our last night decided to come here and all I can say is it was probably the best not that we had a bad meal anywhere else, but this was probably the best. What made it even better was we had a server that was out of this world, her name is Brittany H and I would like to give a shout out. She was very friendly and attentive. I think she went above and beyond most servers.
