Reviews

Wasn’t good service.
Waiter took forever to bring anything we ordered out.
Barely check on us.
We paid $34 for 1/2 pound of shrimp, 4 pieces of sausage, one corn and one potato that was advertised for $14.99.
Wasn’t even good, shrimp was overcooked.
Apparently it was suppose to be only for “happy hour,” but why give the happy hour menu if it’s not happy hour? My drink tasted only like syrup.
Felt like we weren’t priority the whole time, maybe because we were the only AA people in there but oh well.
I didn’t feel like causing a scene in front of my mom, but if i was by myself i definitely would’ve brought more attention to issues.
Been a couple times but we won’t be back again. Also wanted to add that it was maybe 6 tables that were occupied when we first got there, so it wasn’t busy.
And after looking at some of the reviews, they treat other African American people the same way so we definitely won’t be back.


We came for appetizers and some drinks while on the boardwalk and the majority of the food was great.
The crab & shrimp dip is a must get, and the oysters were PERFECT.
But the calamari was so overcooked it was gross to even try and chew. But the bartender was on point and the drinks were good. I’d come back next time, but just know what to order and what not to order.


My husband and I went to Joe's Crab Shack for our Anniversary! The food was delicious and we left feeling satisfied.
Our waitress Claudia was very attentive and check on us periodically.
The manager was so nice and check on us as well.
We really enjoyed our visit!
