What is good a joes crab shack?

Question

im going there this weekend...what should i get?

Answer 1

My latest was assured mediocrity.

Just wrote them off my list.

Answer 2

coconut shrimp!

Answer 3

I'd stick with something generic that was pulled from the freezer (Fried Shrimp, Fried Calamari, Fried Fish, Fried________,  ...............)

Last time I went there I thought... Joe's Crab Shack... gotta go for the Crab!!!  Well, that was a Bad Idea!!  Over-seasoned, dry, and small portions for the price.  I'm old enough to know that things don't come out looking like they did in the pictures.... but come on!!!  

I can see (kind of) why people go to these places in touristy areas.  Fun theme, good vibe, etc.  What I don't get is the fact that the three Joe's Crab Shacks that I know of are all near the ocean and surrounded by REAL Seafood restaurants (San Francisco, Ventura & Long Beach).

I guess if you live in Colorado then maybe Joe's is your best bet.  Otherwise, Keep Looking!!!

Answer 4

nothing, the food there is horrible
