Joe's Crab Shack

When I tell you I used to love Joes! I lived 2 hours from one and would make sure that was on the to go to list when in Auburn Hills Michigan. After moving to Dallas TX and visiting the one in Cedar Hills, I now know why majority of them have closed… Prices went up probably due to Covid and now the quality and quantity of the food is less than subpar. We literally got crab legs that came out with no flavor all that they did was sprinkle some seasoning on top of the crab legs. Our corn and potatoes had NO seasoning on them and we had to ask for some. I can remember a time when they came out full of flavor. This will be the last time I’ve visit a Joe’s crab shack and I’m so disappointed. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

They are short on employees, but the people they do have are great. The waiter we had has been there since 2010. Great service from him (we had a party of 12). The food was really, really, really good. I'm kinda glad that it isn't a busy place, but want it to stay open because the people that they do have.

I only gave this restaurant a one star because the waitress was extremely good but without the waitress I would have rated the restaurant a 0. I was so disappointed, I order an 80 dollar bucket of king crab. When the bucket came to the the table my eyes were in total disbelief. I had 4 small king crabs the same size, as snow crabs, two pieces of corn, and one potato. The bucket comes with corn and potatoes already and I ordered a side of potatoes, and they gave me one potato cut in half. There was no sauce and it was so bland. Please don't waste your money here. If I was a owner, I would never sale someone that. I would have at least added more things to the bucket to make you think your getting 80 dollars worth of food. My seafood boils at home is way better than what I received so sad I wish would have taken a picture to show how bad it really was.

Went there about 4pm on a Thursday.. it was dead. I think i was the first customer.. The bartender/waiter took my order. Ordered a long island tea and it was like lemonade with a faint splash of coke. Of course i wouldn't want to order another one.. Didn't think they knew how to make them. Had to get up and almost walk into the kitchen to ask for silverware. On the food.. i ordered two samplers. The crab dip was the best thing i was served. Everything else was overly fried and dry. Will not be back. Poor service and while they say crispy, the food was too dry. Not the EAT AT JOE'S that it uses to be.
