Joanie's Blue Crab Cafe

Boof incroyable Service impeccable Nous avons mangé gator bites et le sandwich crab cake 🥰 Allez y vous, superbe place

Joanie’s Blue Crab Cafe 3-23-25 I was down in the area and had to stop by this place. Walked in right after they opened on a Sunday. Just a couple tables were busy, so we found a table quick. You must do what I call the 3G’s when you walk in 1 Grab a drink 2 Grab a menu and 3 Grab a table easy peasy. Our waitress Lana was very friendly and answered any questions we had about the menu. We ordered the two Crab Cake Sandwich & Fries, She Crab Soup, Grilled Corn on the Cob, Swamp Dog & Fries, Cheeseburger & Sweet Potato Fries, Chicken Strips & Sweet Potato Fries, Coleslaw and Key Lime Pie for Dessert. Our appetizer grilled Corn and She Crab Soup came out first. The Soup was very good, and the Grilled Corn was amazing. Our main orders were delivered shortly afterwards. The Crab Cake Sandwich was very good and large enough both of us could not finish all of it. The Swap Dog was a Foot long and just packed with toppings. It was so big it was hard to finish. The Cheeseburger and Chicken Fingers were excellent. All our Fries we very good and so was the Sweet Potato Fries. Even the Coleslaw which was home made was very good. The Key Lime Pie was some of the best I had in this area. All our food was hot and very tasty, and I was amazed just how good everything was. No complaints from any of the seven of us. The waitresses Lana and Lisa were on the ball and checked on us a bunch of times and kept our tables cleared when we finished a plate. I loved the decor of this place as I take to the old Florida theme. One thing I will add the Men’s Restroom you may not want your youngsters to go in as there are pictures of topless women all over the walls, now that’s old school. Seriously this place has a very cool factor and some of the best food in the area. You get this way you must stop here. I give this place a 5 out of 5 stars for the great food, good service, coolness factor and such a great vibe with all the waitresses. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Me On Fb For More Reviews Gulf Coast Terry

Great experience and atmosphere. This place is one of a kind and reminds me of the road trips of my childhood. Will stop here if we ever get back this way and eat again. Food was great and so much more than I could finish. the ferry bread and salsa was uniquely amazing. Best key lime pie you will ever have!!

Food was amazing, the place is beautiful, and Joannie is the best

Actually, we (MEMO on TOUR) stopped here by chance because we needed internet!
We immediately got access that worked great!
Of course we also visited this nice restaurant, which is run by Elisabeth and Lana.
It's simply stunning here, we already know today where we're going to have brunch tomorrow!

Cool atmosphere and interesting location on alligator alley. Food is fresh, but small portions and very expensive. Good place to stop for the history and vibe, but not the food.
