Description: Joe's Crab Shack is apparently part of a national chain (I'd never heard of them), and this is one of two restaurants in Nashville. The place is done out as you'd imagine: a great big seaside shack with lots of booths, things hanging from beams, wooden fish, fishing nets, life buoys, and loads more.
The staff is fun and friendly and will see you right through the menu, offering you the relevant dips, side portions, and drink promotions. Our waitress, Crystal, was a total star!
The food is obviously seafood, but there are corndogs and burgers for the kids or steak or chicken for the adults who prefer not to eat seafood.
The crabs come in loads of different ways with different sauces. The grilled ghost crabs are highly recommended. I'd also recommend the coconut shrimps - heaven on a plate! The fries are great and the chunky coleslaw is delicious.
Look out for the staff dropping everything (well, not EVERYTHING!) to put on a quick line-dancing show.
Dinner for two with starters and main courses as well as beers worked out around £27.
Kids will love it, and seafood lovers will love the food.
The restaurant is situated in the downtown area, close to the main strip where you'll find the honky-tonks. Head there after eating at Joe's.
