| - Joe's is a crustacean-murderers dream come true. Tucked away into a deep and distant corner of the Forum mall is an 'old school'-feeling restaurant which throws down massive crab claws on your plate for appropriately high prices. I have been two times, and haven't strayed beyond the crab, fried green tomatoes, and more crab. Maybe I had a soup on my first visit, but if I did it was a mistake as it took up room better used on crab!
My first visit featured stone crab, my second was rock crab I think, whatever- I'm not sure I know the difference, and both were simply amazing portions of robust claws. Most recently my 5 claw portion was so hefty I struggled to knock the $50ish entree out. These weren't grimy crab dishes where you are doing lots of work on small obscure parts of the crab's back, hip, or spindly legs, etc- but instead these are BIG picture-perfect claws (only), pre-cracked, and filled with delicious meat.
I'm sure the other offerings are great, but I can get a steak many places, and the fish entrees were not so unique to catch my attention. But come and eat crab, and I'm sure you will leave a happy camper. I'll be back sooner or later.
