We went first time and without much dinner planning, but it was a memorable great experience. Great food, drink and staff were amazing and friendly. Recommended you to visit once and you will decide to return again for sure.

We were looking for a nice place to have lunch. My husband was in the mood for seafood, and since we were in the area, we decided to try this place out. Given the late hour, the place was not crowded at all. There was only one table occupied by a family, and the two of us. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by Jesenia, who led us to our booth near the Bar, where she was also working, and doubled as our server. The Menu did not have a large number of options, but were adequate for us. The good thing was that they also offer some vegetarian varieties. My husband ordered the Southern Flounder on Rice, and I ordered the Classic Sampler. For Drinks, I had the Lifeguard Cooler, and my hubby got a glass of White Wine. All our food was prepared fresh, and served fast and steaming hot. My Calamari was crunchy and not over-cooked – just the way I like it. The portions were large, so we were a little too full for Dessert. As we were leaving, we could not help, but notice all the funny plaques they have hanging around. Some made us laugh out loud. There is ample parking. This is the place to come to if you are craving seafood. We will certainly return.

Gone downhill. Used to be great, but this experience wasn’t the best. Their drink menu includes Crown Royal Regal Apple, as well as multiple cocktails containing cranberry juice, however I was told I couldn’t get a “crownberry apple” cocktail even though it’s just Crown Apple and cranberry juice…The high chairs were dirty, fries were very salty, and we were seated inside when we made reservations for a patio table.

Joes Crabshack in south Plainfield NJ.. I ordered 3 meals I only was given 2 I have been in the restaurant business 13 years I paid by credit card online when I called they said u r missing part of ur order I said yea they are 30 min away. Manager said we can’t even take it off the bill. But go thru DoorDash maybe they can help. I didn’t use DoorDash I placed the order and picked it up myself..why bring in a.3td party who had nothing to do with it (DoorDash) I picked it up!!!Noway would they help. So all and all out like 40 bucks they even got their tip. I’m kno it can b fixed I’ve done it for years! Don’t go here they only had 1 table how do u screw this up or at least refund they just said no they can’t refund they will b shut down by the next year…they don’t deserve the 1 star. Now manager will yell at host …no it’s ur fault it can b refunded even a gift card for the amount …ur GM scares u that much, it’s to try and keep a guest, lost a family, no refund what is that?!!

Best experience EVER!!! Apparently, the location in South Plainfield was short staffed today. I couldn't tell!! The drinks arrived fast and the meal arrived just as fast. Everything was delicious! The staff was professional and friendly. Thank you for restoring my faith in the restaurant industry. There are still hidden jewels to visit.Blessings to each of you!

Went for lunch. Place was empty. Joe's classic was great. Thanks for a delicious time.

The service and ambiance are great but the food was underwhelming at this location. The flavors for the dishes we had just didnt tie together... recommendation for the restaurant, maybe push more on the flavor vs the rewards membership...no crowds which was nice...overall ok experience.
Great food. We were the only ones there but our server was fantastic. He did everything but do the cooking. Thanks again.

I treated my significant other for her birthday to hoes crab shack. At first I was kind of worried because, it was Friday and not a soul was in the restaurant. We sat down ordered the balls of fire to start. They were amazing. I then ordered the coconut shrimp which was great. She ordered the crab broil. Must have been great, she ate every bit of it. It's a younger crowd that works there. But no complaints. They were all very respectful and did overall a great job. So food, service and atmosphere was on point and should be matched at every restaurant everywhere.

Not sure what happened to this place. But yesterday was horrible. Spare you all the misery but it ended w food poisoning. Been coming here for a while. Haven’t been in about 8-9 months and it’s like a new place. Food was old. Place was empty and their only decent thing. Their pots. We’re half the size. Shrimp.. not even deveined. So gross. Never again. Going down hill ?

Went there for happy hour. Ordered Bloody Mary and Margarita. The mixes for the drinks were made in advance and tasted bland. Was not good more tomato juice with no flavor. We ordered a variety of appetizers; steamed shrimp, fire crab bslls, artichoke dip, cajun chicken fingers, garlic cheese bread and New England clam chowder. Everything was okay but, the chowder was terrible. Service was very good but, there was only six patrons in the entire restaurant. Located in the Hadley Shopping Center. So there is plenty of parking with lighting. Happy hour were very reasonable.
