| - Joe's is the type of place you go because the kids like it and are entertained... which is exactly why we went. Godson got an award at school and he wanted to go to Joe's as his celebration dinner. Here is how it went down:
PROS: Again, this place is designed for kids, it seems. The playground kept them busy when they were over their dinner after 10 minutes. It is sort of cartoony and looks more like a theme park than a restaurant. I am not into the singing and dancing, but again it entertains the kids, so whatever. The servers are friendly enough and the service was decent, though they tend to run around like they are going crazy. The location is easy to get to and parking is never a problem.
CONS: The food is just not good, especially for what you get. The prices are pretty ridiculous, actually. In the steamer pots the crab we got was tiny and impossible to crack open. We had to ask for shell crackers to which the response was, "Oh, Ill see if they have some in the kitchen." What? This is a seafood restaurant. They also put unshelled shrimp in the kids meal, which isnt a big deal, except when you are 6 and have no idea how to remove a shell from a shrimp.
Overall, this place entertains the kids, but the prices are insane for the portion and quality of food you get, especially in a town awash with good seafood options. If you want some great seafood at decent prices I suggest you try The Boiling Crab.
