I don't understand the negative reviews at all! After seeing commercials for Joe's for years but not having one close by we were thrilled to be staying at a hotel so close to one.
My husband, my daughter and I couldn't wait to go for dinner. We weren't sure how crowded it would be but we were willing to wait as long as we had to. When we arrived we were told 15-20 minutes, but it ended up being about 10.
The service was excellent and the food was to die for. We had the sampler appetizer. The crab balls were amazing, the calamari perfect, and the crab dip was amazing.
My husband and I each got the Sam Adams Steamer Pot and our 10 year daughter got her own Classic Steamer Pot. She ate every crab and shrimp in the platter. The sausage was a little too spicy for her and she didn't like the Old Bay on the corn, but her dad was happy to help her eat those, and she had plenty to chow down on without it.
I would love to have a Joe's in Lancaster, PA, though I would have to get a part-time job to support our crab habit.
