| - I only am giving three stars because I ah-dore the Great White shark hanging from the ceiling and their extensive line of witty teeshirt (crabs?). Otherwise, my first, and probably last visit to Joe's was nothing but a vibrantly colored-glorified Red Lobster.
I was super excited to go because, ahem!, I like to eat crab and the place looks funfully inviting. AND IT IS (again, super witty tees)! I enjoy the colors, I enjoy the "wharfy" planks I had to carefully walk over in my stilettos, and hello? the commercials are pretty catchy, too.
Amber was a sweetheart. She grabbed a shark toy (cocktail flare) to give to my 2 year old nephew, gave her feedback on menu items, was bubbly, and thought everything we were ordering was delicious! I like her.
The calamari was boring and boring. My kid and I love calamari but this wasn't it. I'm pretty sure it was served with marinara sauce, not cocktail (where's the bit o' kick?). My....(wait, what did I order?)...oh yeah! My crab cake sandwich DID SAY it was served on an english muffin. Never before have I been so put off with consuming an english muffin - room temp, white, bleh. Tomato slice and shredded lettuce on the side. Some remoulade sauce (which I used to slather into my sandwich) was the hit the plate. My daughter got the crab nachos. They were yummy the next day. Sis-in-law had coconut shrimp & fries. I think she ate it. I had one and it was pretty good. But can you ever go wrong with coconut shrimp? IDK?
In all, I'm pretty sure I won't be back to a Joe's Crab Shack. Okay, okay, maybe to grab a witty teeshirt.
