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 3 Houston locations and across the nation!

- NCNicole Collins2 days ago5.0I had to eat food with no butter and oil and the whole staff was so kind to ensure I didn’t eat anything with that. Gustavo was our waiter and was so nice and helpful as well!
- SHStephen HickersonNov 16, 20255.0Rae’chel was fantastic and the food was delicious. One of the only places with a snow crab boil and the sea wall beach view was gorgeous. Food came out fast and they have a playground for the kids on the patio!
- JOJeri OquendoNov 15, 20255.0We ordered king crab. I thought surely I’d still be hungry after the experience we had at Crafty Crab a few months ago. Tonight we actually took some home and are stuffed. Joe’s did not disappoint at all. Very generous and hot. We aren’t going anywhere else. This was it.
- RERhonda EnsleNov 13, 20255.0We had a great experience. The food was delicious and our server, RaeShell, was efficient and friendly. She knew what we needed before we did and would bring it over. It's nice to be attended to. Joe's rocks
- TBTabitha BennettNov 9, 20255.0Oh my goodness talk about the perfect ending to a beautiful weekend. Abel greeted my husband and I like we were long lost friends, then proceeded to seat us in the most romantic spot. Our server Gustavo was attentive, patient and very helpful regarding a special order. The atmosphere perfect. I strongly suggest your next meal at this incredible establishment!
