There are about 100 Joe's Crab Shacks in the US. I've been to many of them, and none of them have let me down. It was lively, fun, tasty, and cheap. Of course I ordered crab legs, but this restaurant was a little peculiar, in that crab legs by themselves wasn't even on the menu. In fact, the waiter highly recommended almost everything besides the crab legs. I'm not too sure about this tactic, though, because the crabs were so tasty, it was difficult not to order a second meal.

This is a fun place to go. Great food, good atmosphere, and wonderful memories. We went here after Animal Kingdom. It is convient to the Disney Theme Parks.

The atmosphere is very beachy and laid-back. The wait staff dances and sings. The menu features a lot of different seafood options, and the chocolate cake is to die for.

This is a seafood chain that if you have dined in one, you have dined in them all.

The kids love the playground out front. But this will not be a quiet and relaxing dinner. Every so often, the music blares and all the waiters join together in the middle to dance.

The seafood is mediocre and a little pricey for what you get. The poor crab was boiled to mush. The waitress was embarrassed as she tried to show "how it was done" and it bent like a rubber band instead of snapping open.

We hit Joe's Crab Shack on the last night of our vacation to have a last treat before we headed back to the snow. This was a great place to take the kids. If you didn't have a reservation, they added your name to the list (which moved along very quickly). There was a playground outside fenced in for the kids to play in and a gift shop where you could browse in while you waited for your table.

The wait staff was very friendly and helpful in helping you make a choice from all the wonderful choices on the menu. Throughout the evening, they would break into song and dance and pick the kids up from the tables like Pied Pipers and lead them around the restaurant.

The food was wonderful and delivered quickly. My husband is not a seafood eater and he found more than one choice on the menu that he could choose from. All in all, it’s a great, fun restaurant for the whole family.
