We had a late lunch. Coconut shrimp were awesome and a real value. The bread pudding was also really good and a large enough portion to feed two. The manager and wait staff were friendly and attentive. The view of the Gulf was pretty. Nice experience. more

We visited the Joe's Crab Shack on Seawall Blvd. We visited soon after they opened for the day. So, they weren't busy and we didn't have a long wait. We were seated immediately and momentarily in the section at a booth upon our request. We ordered the 18 piece bucket of shrimp as appetizer. When I found out it was... more

Fun atmosphere, dancing staff to YMCA and other stuff, good fun, food was good and affordable. Had to wait quite a while or a table on Monday night (40... more

I have been to Joe's Crab Shack on the harbor three times in the past year. Although the food was fine the service was terrible. All three times I have had over a one hour wait at the table after ordering to get my meal. Other customers around me were experiencing the same problem. I wish they would get thier... more

We went to Joe's Crabshack (on the seawall) and had a really nice time. It's fun and friendly and relaxed. My kids don't eat seafood so they enjoyed grilled chicken and burgers. A great view of Seawall Blvd as well. The servers danced and sang and they played really good music. Our food was good and served in a timely... more
