I should have suspected something when the restaurant was virtually empty just before noon on a Saturday, but my husband wanted to eat here. I'm not a huge seafood fan, so I ordered chicken tenders. They were overpriced and tasted bland. We also ordered some mozarella sticks, which were overcooked. My husband liked the fried shrimp, as well as the... more

Wife thought it was nasty. I thought it was rough. Food was o.k. and the quanity was good. If you like steamed seafood, this is the place to go. Music was loud and the tables are basic. Great biker place . more

2 Stars at best. Just another chain restaurant that gets by on unique theme where the food doesn't measure up. more

Joe's Crab Shack is a chain which tries very hard to look like it's not. I feel they did a better job of pulling off this facade in the past, but it's starting to seem more and more like "another chain restaurant". We have been to Joe's more than 20 times over the past several years, it's one of the... more

Once my husband and I found out there was a Joe's Crab Shack in Destin we were really excited.

However, in Destin the food was good and the service and atmosphere was good as well BUT the food... more
