We sat at the bar. The bartender was very friendly and helpful. Good was great, although we couldn't find the mushroom in the stuffed mushroom plate.

Great service! Great food! Enjoyable atmosphere! What's not to like!?! Walked from our hotel down the boardwalk, which was very nice! View is great here and getting to here! Tried other local seafood place hoping to experience something great, but was just a waste of money tbh. Will continue to search for others while here as well, but this place was great for Seafood!

Great food and experience. There was some apparent confusion with us not receiving a waiter/waitress for 20-30 minutes after arrival. This was quickly addressed by the hostess and a manager came up to us, apologized, and comped our appetizers even though we had not brought up this issue nor complained. This is the best Joe's Crab Shack we have ever been to.

We had the King, Queen, and Snow crab with the shrimp platter. Very good! I wish the butter tasted better and wasn’t as cheap… Definitely recommend the king crab even though it’s the most expensive, there is more and it’s easier.

I had to wait five minutes because they were mopping the front but as soon as they let us in, they served us super fast and the service was 100% good food was amazing drinks super good price and the manager was really nice and apologized for us having to wait because they usually mop around 8-8:50 and he just didn’t want us to slip. The bartender was so amazing. We are thinking about coming back as soon as possible. Bathrooms are really clean and my wife is very picky about restaurants and she even used this one. We went after the game, so it was pretty late. There was still some people inside, but they took care of us like it was just us.

A very nice restaurant on the waterfront overlooking the g harbour and serving great variety of seafood dishes, that are well made, aromatic and tasty. We loved the Alaskan crab legs and the sea food sampler. We did try their fish and prawn tacos and fish and chips too. Definitely a place to be for those who love fresh well made tasty sea food.

The food and servicer were great. The stawberry margarita could have been more flovable. The crab legs were very fresh and had a wonderful taste.

I had the Gumbo steampot, Very good. My portion in the photo is for 1 person. Nice location next to the ferry. Food was slower to come out, as they said the kitchen was backed up. The waitresses were very nice and attentive. All in all, it was exactly what I was craving and wanted. I would come back. Cute restaurant.

We hit Joe's Crab Shack during Comic-con, every year, though not very often in between. We always enjoy it; the service is friendly and efficient, the food is good, and the price point is fine for the location. I've enjoyed the blackened chicken Caesar, the Voodoo chicken fingers, shrimp, crab, etc. The place is fully accessible, with van parking, ramps, etc.
