Had a great meal at Joe’s today! I’m not big on the big chain restaurants but I was pleasantly surprised today. My glass was never empty and the service was awesome! Highly recommend the East Coast Platter. I was starving so I forgot to take the pictures before we started eating.

I am giving them a 5 for the experience. In being honest, the food was just what you would expect from any Joe’s Crab Shack. It was not spectacular but I was not sorry I ate it. 🙂 The kitchen was amazing, there is only so much you can do with a chain menu. But my experience was over the top. I needed to be around people after a difficult day and I wanted somewhere nearby and with a patio so I could bring my puppy. When I arrived, the patio was closed due to staffing and I was so disappointed but the manager came over and offered to seat me out there and serve me himself so I would not have to be turned away. He was very nice and made me feel at home and I met two of the waitresses that were also very sweet and attentive. It was exactly what I needed after the day I had. Thank y’all so much! I did not take a picture there but I am attaching one of my pup and I so they know who we are. 🙂

We love Joe’s Crab Shack. We eat there just above every trip to Galveston. The kids can play on the playground while we order food. This time, I had the shrimp and seafood ensemble. It was really good.

Not a long wait to be seated. Over a hour for food to arrive after we ordered. Food as good. Waiter never returned to refill drinks or see if we needed something. Next time we saw him was with the check.

We were there just after they opened at 11 on a Saturday. It wasn’t busy when we got there, but it got busier the longer we were there. It didn’t take long to get our drinks, but our food arrived over 45 minutes later. Other parties, both before and after us, waited just as long or longer for their meals. The food was okay. Both the shrimp and potato halves in my steam pot were flavorless. The Old Bay seasoning only coated the larger food items, like the corn and lobster claws. We weren’t upset with the food, but we weren’t impressed either.

The crab and shrimp nachos were awful. There is no crab or shrimp. It’s a cheese paste that’s way too rich. Will never eat again. Service was excellent
