    Very pleasant atmosphere and servers went above & beyond! Would like to mention that we had reservations for a group of 55+ hungry people. Pre ordered our food. Had a separate room, very nice & could carry on a conversation with ease. Audrey, Jade & Jereiah took our drink orders then withing 15 minutes our food started coming out. Everything was delicious, correct temperature & looked very pleasant. Don't usually do this but asked for the manager and thanked her for a well run establishment. Kudos for a smooth running restaurant 👏 I believe that cost & value was equal . Dishes that were served consisted of: Crispy shrimp, All American hamburger, Chicken & Shrimp Alfredo pasta, Soup & Salad & Grilled chicken. I had the grilled chicken & the flavor was beyond 😋 Thank you Joe's Crab Shack- Branson, MO.

    We came in at shift change at the Branson Landing location and Audrey was more than helpful. She had a cheerful attitude helped with new items on the menu and made sure we were well taken care of. Thank you Audrey!

    I would rate this higher if they weren’t so stingy on the crab clusters. I got the crab feast and it looked more like a crab snack. The food was okay probably rate a 3 out of 5. But the portion size for the most expensive crab meal was a joke.

    We have eaten here before, and its been good. But tonight, the battered shrimp had shrimp poop in it. And its gross to take a bite and see it in the other part of the shrimp. Good thing there was a bucket on the table to throw it away in. Our waitress was not stellar, she had a flat personality. It will be a toss up to see if we come back.
