Pros: NONE
Cons: Extremely terrible service

Pros: Dress like a slob and nobody will notice!
Cons: ALL SEAFOOD IS FROZEN!
Summary: I've been reading all sorts of favorable reviews of Joe's Crab Shack here on Epinions, and I can't figure out why the authors penned them. I guess they probably just don't know the difference between fresh or frozen (yecch).

Pros: Pretty good variety on the menu
Cons: Too pricey for what you get and way too noisy
Summary: Joe's Crab Shack tries to be elegant yet slovenly. It's really neither.
It's slightly better than most corporate dining chain restaurants in that it has more focus on its menu owing to the fact that it is principally seafood. The standard ... read more

Pros: atmosphere is old Key West fishouse look
Cons: poor quality seafood
Summary: Joe's Crab Shack is not worth the trip or the money. You would think that a restaurant that advertises by the name of a "crab shack" would offer a better selection of crab entrees.
If you enjoy frozen fish and expensive prices (for what ... read more

Pros: Great food and good prices.
Cons: You frequently have to wait for a table and it can be noisy.
Summary: I had never been very fond of seafood and I have always explained this by the fact that I grew up in Ohio, far from either coast and fresh seafood. My husband by contrast spent his early years in Washington and California and loved seafood.
