Joe's Crab Shack

Pros: Energetic atmosphere
Cons: Bad crab legs, way too high of price

I absolutely love crab legs, and so does my daughter. Give us an all-you-can-eat crab leg meal and the two of us are happy as clams. :-) Red Lobster does a decent job, but doesn't give you enough. The local casinos have them once a week but the hour...

Our older son is home in NJ for a visit. It's a big deal to have him home, but a horrible confluence of unexpected work assignments and doctors appointments kept us from killing the fatted calf.

So, after catch up chat, we went about the...

Pros: Great Food, attentive staff

Pros: Fun, good food
Cons: long waits, meals do not come with extras

They were building a new restaurant in our area for the longest time. It looked so interesting, with a huge "Eat At Joe's" sign and a weathered, nautical look with lights strung all over. It had a deck, and even a kid's playground. I couldn't...

Pros: Great Atmosphere, good food
Cons: Not enough garlic in the crabs

I arrived in Denver on July 22, 2000 to visit my nephew (Epinions SKaplan) and while driving to his apartment, I noticed Joe's Crab Shack very close to his home. Boy, was I excited. You see, living in Connecticut, I have never seen any kind of a...

Joe's Crab Shack is a hoot! That's the deal on this seafood shack found across the south. When I first moved to Houston, I found Joe's in a visitor's directory and decided they would be worth a try.

I arrived at a new location that had just...

Pros: Excellent decor, friendly staff, good food
Cons: Music can be too loud sometimes for conversation

I admit it. I am not a big fan of seafood. But since my fiancé is a seafood lover, I have a feeling I'm going to be dragged off to more than one seafood place in my life. (Hopefully, it won't be kicking and screaming.)

And, now that I...

Pros: Great Atmosphere
Cons: none

Joe's Crab Shack in San Diego, CA. This is a must see restaurant. I love crab so the name of the restaurant caught my eye as we drove by. My husband and I decided to try it one night without the kids.

Cons: They took the Crab Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers off the menu.
