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 Sevierville location and across the nation!

    I should have listened to the reviews that said that the food was cold & nasty. I ordered the steak and shrimp. The steak was very tough and cold. The butter they put on it wouldn't even melt. The veggies looked very old. All crinkly and dry. The mashed potatoes was the absolute worst. Cold, dry and not worth the effort. The tempura shrimp was really good. Tasted fresh made. I sent my plate back. My husband ordered the fried fish, shrimp platter. He said it was good and crispy. But all the grease that was on his plate turned my stomach.

    This was my first time here. Myself, my boyfriend and my daughter dined, our sever Sara was top tier! Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and that's not always the case when you have an autistic child! Would go here again and again!
