Booked a reservation here. Got all the reminders. Confirmed the reservation. Got there. The restaurant was permanently closed!!! Checked the address with Open Table and with the Joe's Crab Shack website. It was accurate. No announcement that it was closed.
Where do i begin. The food is insanely over priced, the quality is terrible. They charge $12 dollars for a kids mac and cheese and a prepackaged fruit cup and it's a box of craft macaroni. I order one cluster of queen crab legs and they came out ice cold. There were literally 2 people on staff and we waited 15+ minutes to get anything we needed and to check out and leave. The bathrooms were gross with paper towels literally stacked 4ft above the trash can. This place is so run down i can't believe they are still in business. It's a shame i used to like coming here when i was younger but I'm never bringing my kid and my family here again.

A1 service!! That's all this place had going for it. The fish and chips were dry and taseless with too much crispy batter that nobody needs to fill up on. So my thoughts are: if your fish doesn't taste good, you should probably offer an AMAZING tarter sauce to cover up for the tasteless fish. Not here. It was mayo. Greasy and flavorless, as well. The crab was great, but anyone can steam crab.... so, I wasn't impressed with the food.

Wow, when you walk in the door and it's a ghost town inside, we sat ourselves after about ten minutes. Maybe a team or shift meeting and nope. The empty parking lot with two cars should have been a sign. Finally two employees came from the back, more customers arrived and they we seated and then more and more and we got the ignore from them. They must be going out soon? We left and went to Salt Grass.

Great food and an even better server! I didn’t get her name but we went around 7pm on 8/23 and she made the whole experience amazing.

I don’t get to go to joes very often but when I get to it’s always a great experience. But tonight was especially great. The entire flow from being greeted, to our server Amber who was phenomenal!! And let me tell you I am hardly ever impressed by a waitress. Her attitude was exceptional. She checked on us but also left us alone. She is the PERFECT waitress! Thank you so much for obviously caring about and loving your position. Otherwise your service wouldn’t speak for itself the way it did. Many many thanks for the perfect service.

Definitely improved themselves from the days of old. Last few visits have been very consistent: perfectly cooked crab, shrimp, lobster, etc, great service, classic interior. Definitely the most reasonable place if you're wanting crab legs or similar.Only knock was substituting coleslaw on a dish for corn. Once it was a minor cost bump to do the substitution (like +$1 or something, an upgrade charge), but most recently they charged us full price for it as though it was a full extra side ($20 in corn across the table when normally it would be <$5).
Parking: Large lot with more large lots close by, but it's never full.
Wheelchair accessibility: Multiple large, gently sloped ramps inside and out, properly cut curbs, multiple van spots.

Waiter was great. No wait at 6pm on a Friday. We should have known better. Ordered some hush puppies and they came out ice cold in the center, literally ice. Spent over $200 on mediocre sea food. Son requested Joe's and we live in fortcollins. Drove over an hour for bad food. Next time we will just go to red lobster.

First time at Joe’s Crab Shack. I’m not the biggest fan of seafood, but came here with a buddy on a whim. Our server, Dionna, was superbly kind, attentive, and had such a warm and wonderful table-side manner. She made sure we were well taken care of and checked on us frequently during our visit. The Alfredo Pasta was yummy. I’ll certainly be back, thanks Dionna & J’CS!

We came in for a late lunch/early dinner. There was no wait and we were seated immediately. the food was great and our server was friendly. would recommend!
My mom and I loved this place when I was growing up. I had to come here to celebrate her birthday in her memory. I had a great time. The waitress was so sweet she bought me a dessert to celebrate, Her name was Faith; which was so fitting for the day. I ordered from the steam pot selection and it was delicious. I was slightly disappointed that the shrimp were still in the shell and I had to also devain it. It would be so much better if it were ready to go and marinating in the sauce. Other than that everything was delicious, I was so happy to have been able to enjoy coming here for my mom. Thank you so much faith for being a wonderful person!!!

Service was great, our server was kind and timely, but due to the rest I will never return. Absolutely everything was overseasoned with the same salt mixture. The portions was small considering the cost, and the table was barely clean in a half empty restaurant on a Friday night. I wouldn't recommend for anyone I know to eat here and I won't return.
