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.”

Our servers were kind and helpful. The restaurant was clean and easy to navigate. The drinks were good, as well as all of the food we had. The crab and shrimp nachos were delicious, as well as the balls of fire. We had the boil with crab, shrimp and mussels. The portions are generous. I would definitely return and would recommend!

Server was horrible. He was rude. Offensive. Completely ruined our night,we were celebrating my son’s wedding and our server put a damper on the whole experience. I complained to the manager and the Server was never seen again. The manager was not very accommodating or apologetic. I expected the courtesy of a meal or a drink or a something taken off the bill. When I asked the about manager she told me that the server had closed the ticket and there was nothing she could do. I find that hard to believe. Very unpleasant overall

Terrible food, great view, and attentive servers. But food was horrible - mussels were dry, salad dressing bland and gelatinous . Won't go again.

Way to overpriced for the quality of food. I’ve been eating the steam pod for years and it is getting worse every year.
