Editorial Review for Joe's Crab Shack – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Admittedly kitschy, unavoidably noisy, this Red Lobster for rug rats is like an oversized seaside shanty awash in oceanic memorabilia--fishing nets, souvenir trinkets, plastic flotsam and jetsam. Staffed with a lively crew of G-rated table-dancing servers, the family-friendly chain anchors its menu in all things crab: Crab balls, crab cakes, crab dip, crab gumbo. Finicky children opt for corndogs or hamburgers; shellfish-phobic adults dine on rib eye steak or mesquite-grilled chicken.

I'm not really sure why people like this place so much. I guess it would be fun for kids, but the food is mediocre at best. Not that seafood can really be that fresh when we live on a landlocked state, but I've never been impressed with the food quality. The servers are silly and high school at the least. I wouldn't say that the service is bad, its just average. I haven't seen any singing there for years and the papertowels in the tin bucket as napkins is less than appetizing. I wouldn't go back unless I had a good coupon.
Pros: Crab
Cons: Poor Food, Expensive for the Quality and Atmosphere
