Over Priced and over rated!

by Justentime

I'm amazed a place like this has survived as long as it has! I had the new "Bean Town Bake" Steampot and it was horrible! EVERYTHING was over cooked....even the corn! Forty buck's for two really small, mealy lobsters', rubbery oysters, soggy corn, and dry/tough shrimp... Terrible! Here's a Vegas tip-Go to Ellis Island, where the food is far superior and you can get three entries for less then what I paid for one!

• Pros: Tables had napkins
• Cons: Over cooked food, way over priced, lousy flavor!

Horrible Crabs

by spikenet

I had Alaskan King crabs and they were the worst I have ever had. They were either very old if not decaying, or they had been cooked so many times the meat was like rubber that was breaking down into mush. I actually complained and they brought out more of the same. The shells were like rubber and soggy as well. Really bad and way too much money for something that tasted and had the texture of a old dish sponge.

Should be called Joe's BLAND Shack

by breannat

I had never eaten at a Joe's Crab Shack before, so one night I decided to take the family out to eat some so-called good seafood. The only pro was that it was kid friendly, had a playground for them to play in and the servers danced to the Car Wash to entertain the children.

I will never go back to eat there and here's why: HORRIBLE service, (waited 10 minutes for a server to even ACKNOWLEDGE us), 7 minutes to get our drinks from the bar, 10 more minutes to get our appetizer, and our entree came out 5 minutes within getting our Calamari. It seemed the servers were more interested in dancing than serving us.

The broiled shrimp trio was good, but it DEFINATELY could have been better. A little bland tasting and the shrimp were kind of rubbery, like they had been overcooked. My husband had the King crab, which was good, but not enough crab for the price. My daughter had popcorn shrimp, and the portions could have been bigger in my opinion.

I would definately NOT recommend this restaurant to people who want to have a nice, quiet dinner, and the servers get on tables and dance and kids are constantly running around.

• Pros: Playground for kids (but not in the winter time)
• Cons: Everything else
