Nice place, service was good, but there was some wait time. My table got the stuffed mushrooms and calamari. The calamari was basic, overly breaded. The stuffed mushrooms were HORRIBLE. We planned to order more, but the mushrooms' taste took away our hunger. Unfortunately, we couldn't stomach ordering our mains after the one mushroom. Tasted way to creamy and the breading in the stuffing had no flavor. Couldn't taste the crab but did find the shrimp. The marg was super yummy tho.

We’ve been going to celebrate my kids birthdays forever. The disappointment was the quantity of their traditional bucket of everything,and the price that went with it. I spent 400$ no alcohol for 9 people. One plate each.

Our first time at Joe’s Crab Shack and our waitress Sarah was phenomenal. She deserves a raise. For Joe Crab Shack employer make sure to take care of your employees that are true quality like Sarah. Trust me I work in HR and these days it HARD to hire/find cherry on top of a sundae quality workers. Great restaurant atmosphere!. The food was plentiful and GOOD!

The quality of the food is not that good. We got clam chowder and I don't even think there was a single clam in it. Also got a shrimp sample plate and all the shrimp tasted overcooked and the rice tasted like cheap white rice. Although I would have to say the broccoli was pretty good.
Just seems to be overpriced mediocre food with a fun fishing atmosphere.
