  I only gave 3 stars because it was so expensive for what you get. This was our first visit. The waiter talked me into getting there larger order of crab. He said you get so much more. Not so. I got so much more meat from the snow crab legs than the dungeness or king either one. It was very expensive for no more meat than what I got.

  First and foremost, the atmosphere felt so much like a bunch of friends at a dinner having a good time! The service was Amazing, from the time we walked in the door and made reservations until the time we left. The staff was very attentive all the way around. And let's not forget about our amazing SERVER (Cody) he was GREAT! All 10’s across the board, he was very attentive, sweet, precise, engaging, & all around just AMAZING! The food was great, very flavorful & just right! We will be back 😋!

  Always visit Joe's when we come to Branson. Hubby got a cajun boil with crab legs, shrimp, mussels, corn on cob, potatoes and sausage. I had the pasta with shrimp and crab and side salad. We started with the calamari. Always large portions here. We had a typical 20 minute wait.

  5-8-26 My daughters 23rd Birthday She wanted Joes and so here we are Upon entry greeted by not 1 but 3 hosts/hostesses . Very pleasant and had informed us that it was a 20 minute wait. Took name and cellphone and would text us . 25 minutes later we were sat with a Server named Rory . He must’ve been triple sat . He was running back and forth . He did greets right away and said he’d be back to get a drink order . 5 mins later, he took our drink order . 1 shark bite alcohol drink 1 blue Hawaiian alcohol drink 3 cokes He did check Id’s on the ladies Informed him it was my daughter’s actual birthday. He wished her a happy birthday. 3 mins later we received our cokes and he took our appetizer order . Said he’d check on the bar drinks . 7 mins goes by and another lady brings us 3 Shark bites drinks (not what I ordered) she drops them off and leaves before we could say anything. I waited for the server and he was too busy to check on us . We got the appetizer of Crab Dip & chips We decided to just drink the drinks and not complain. Especially since we didn’t get the blue Hawaiian alcohol drink. Server came by and we ordered the entrees We just kept quiet about the drink mess up . It was busy after all Plus we enjoyed the drinks 💥Clam Chowder Cup . What can I say it beats Red lobsters Clam chowder 100% . Just about the same as when I make my own . Definitely a winner 💥Crab Dip - phenomenal, cheesy , lots of real crap and fresh tortilla chips . So delicious 💥 Chicken tenders and Frys (for the non seafood lover 😂) they were just standard. Good and crispy 💥Steak and shrimp with asparagus and red potatoes. Perfect cook on steak , sirloin not the most tender but delicious. Grilled shrimp tender and delicious. Asparagus tender perfectly seasoned. Red potatoes, soft delicious and just needed a sprinkle of pepper . 💥Lobster tails with red potatoes and asparagus. Lobster tails so tender sweet and covered in a lemon butter . No need for any butter to dip in. My only complaint here is it wasn’t bigger . But you do get 2 tails . As we were enjoying our entrees I suddenly realized I wanted Coconut shrimp . Flagged down Rory and ordered the shrimp . Amazingly it only took a few minutes to get. 💥coconut shrimp , delicious, tangy sweet sauce with a bit of spice . Fried to perfection At this time Rory realized his mistake on the drink order and apologized profusely and offered to fix it. I told him it was all good. I already drank it and was feeling quite good . Ya know I drank it on an empty stomach within minutes. So feeling pretty good 😂 Rory then stated he would bring me the souvenir glass that would’ve came with my original drink order . (I had no idea the cup came with the drink ) He arrived minutes later with “Who gives a ship “ glass and a Shaker cup for the Birthday girl . He asked about desserts and got togo boxes for the girls . Birthday girl was a lil let down on no one singing or trying to embarrass her for her Birthday . A male we didn’t know , did approach and ask about the food . We assumed a manager . Food was delicious. Overall it is more expensive than others . But seafood is always expensive. Atmosphere was loud and fun . Watching the crew line dance to music . Even though there was a mess up and service was not top notch. I still left a 12% tip . $22 Normally would’ve left 25-30% At a lesser more casual restaurant with that service . Probably wouldn’t have left a tip. We will come back soon

  Cody was out server and he was an absolute gentleman. I was nervous about this trip because I typically don’t like restaurants from tv commercials lol. That being said I was very happy with the food and the service to match. The only reason I put a 4 out of 5 for the food is because the French fries were nothing special.
