Everyone always enjoys eating at destination Joe’s Crab Shacks. This one happens to be located right on the river with panoramic views. The kids had fun getting the crab pots on the kids menu and we had a larger crab pot and peel um and eat um shrimp. Everything was tasty. I would like to give a shout out to the GM on duty today. My 11 year old daughter had a crab leg that was empty and so she politely asked to see the Chef. She explained that to eat crab was a special treat and how sad she was when a whole leg was empty. He said no worries and came back out a little while later with another small cluster. Totally the way to create a lifelong customer. She will never forget that and the chain will make that up in spades. So many other chains are going out of business because they just don’t understand that they are there because of the customer! Well done!

Had the best dinner ever, our waitress Shelby was boom. She gave recommendations and treated us with the best attitude. We had the best time and watched fireworks. Thank you, Shelby. Dessert was the best ever. The sunset was breathtaking.

Food is super bland… & expensive.. Tables was dirty.. Staff was amazing & views on the deck are priceless.. But if you want good seafood I’d go to pier 17 before this place…js

Had an amazing experience with my wife and a friend. Our server was Tristan and he was amazing he helped us decide what to eat, he kept us updated with how our order was coming and made sure we never had to wait for anything.

Customer service is good and it’s a nice view in the warm months. I don’t like the seafood boils but she does and so does the kids. I got the stuffed tilapia last time and it was decent . The steak and pasta I’ve had in the past is good was well. I’ll update this one day with interior and exterior photos. Cool place with gift shop area and plenty of televisions.

Food is pretty pricey ($21 for a kids crab leg meal after tip). I don’t eat seafood and I only went to purchase a kids meal but the girl that was at the hostess stand and got our order together was pretty awesome and I am in the food service industry as one of my jobs so I have very high expectations. My son enjoyed the food and it was just a bit much. I would say we would probably visit more often if they cut the amount of food down, reflecting in the price. Seafood isn’t good to eat leftovers of.

We were in town for the NASP tournament looking for a nice place to eat, and so glad we chose this location. We were able to make reservations which was extremely nice considering we had 16 people with us. The waitress that took care of us was excellent! For her to be handling the entire party alone, we had absolutely no complaints. She was very friendly and accommodating and made sure all of our drinks were full and we were happy. The food itself was OUTSTANDING! The grilled shrimp was maybe a TAD overdone, but overall it was DELICIOUS!!! We spent more than I care to admit, but no regrets here! This will be a place we visit every time we are in town!

Went for dinner for my birthday. Bill was almost $200 for 4 people. Less crab legs then expected in a bucket. Also two of the meals were a different higher price then what was advertised on the menu. Food tasted ok but found hair in the coleslaw. I don’t think we will be going back.

This was our first time eating here, been wanting to try it for years. The atmosphere is great! And the people working there were very nice. The food did taste good, but not great, portions were not much, they gave us alot of fries, which made it look like more. It’s a very expensive place for the food you get, you are paying for the name and place for sure. Because of this, I will probably not be going back, but if money is no problem for you, then this would be a great place to eat it.
