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.”

Had a party of 8 dining in, made a reservation online ahead of time via OpenTable. Upon arrival the hostess right away had to check to make sure a table was available for our party even though there wasn't a single other customer in the restaurant and out reservation had been made hours ahead of time. Nonetheless it is the off-season so who really cares, right? Wrong. After being sat our hostess let us know that she was the only person on the floor that night, meaning she was the only hostess, waitress, bartender, food runner and busser. Again, it's the off season so I understand why they don't have a complete staff on and she was absolutely amazing the whole time we were there. However our food was mediocre at best. Going to Joe's Crab Shack while you're at the beach is a total staple for anyone no matter what time of the year it is. There were multiple mess ups in our dinner orders and the food we got wasn't anything to write home to. At one point the waitress told us that "the cook is dying back there" when again, we were the only people there. It was a shame and I don't know if I will go back or recommend other people to visit. If a $200+ dinner on the off season tastes like that, I can't imagine how it would be in the middle of summer.

The food was good, except the cocktail sauce and tarter sauce were not very flavorful. The service was great.

Our family of 5 enjoyed their meals here. I loved the crab boil, but didn’t care for the seasoning that was recommended, which was the special mix. I should’ve gotten it without the seasoning. Otherwise, the food was a solid 4/5. Our server, Aaron, was very attentive and did a great job. I had a crab boil later in the week at a restaurant on the beach. Joe’s was much better!
