  • The fish sandwich was very good. Not the best I've had, but well prepared and served. The drink (and drink menu) was excellent though.

  • Order: Crab legs, fish sandwich

  • Joe's crab shack is great. It has a fun atmosphere and the menu was awesome. You could go for dinner and end up spending the evening. The staff was very friendly also which is always a plus

  • This is a really fun place to sit out on the river's edge at picnic tables, with rolls of paper towles, and buckets of seafood. We really enjoyed ourselves.

  • Order: Buckets of crab legs, shrimp, with potatoes, corn, and sausage

  • I enjoyed the fact that the crab cakes were not filled with stuffing. There were big lumps of pure crab meat

  • Attended for my boyfriend's birthday, loved every minute of it, the staff was great, hardly a wait to be seated, less than three minutes. Greated my three year old son and allowed him to pick the table in which we ate. Server was attentive but not pushy. Answer questions about the food and make reccommendations on what I said I liked not what was the special

  • Order: Key West Chicken, Iced Tea

  • As I assume is the case with most restaurants, you don't go to a seafood restaurant and order the steak. In my opinion, this goes even further at Joe's CRAB Shack. I have never been to a supposed seafood restaurant were the only thing that tastes good is the crabs. But alas, on my 4+ visits to this restaurant at this location, I have found that the crabs are delicious. Appetizers are okay (especially if they include crab), but everything else is best left ordered at another restaurant. I would go to Joe's Crab Shack again for the crab. I wouldn't set my expectations too high if you order anything else. -SEC

  • Order: Crab legs, shrimp, crab dip, appetizers, cocktails

  • I absolutely love this restaurant, we have only had one in our area for about 3 years now. I first ate at one in Texas while visiting friends and have been hooked since. I was so excited when I found out we were getting one here in PA. The food is always exceptional, the decor is fun and modern and of course, I always leave with a nifty new T-Shirt. If you like seafood this is the place for you!

  • Order: Steamer Pot for Two
