Reviews for Joe's Crab Shack in Jacksonville Beach, FL
Great atmosphere, great drinks and food, and most of all: great service. It was our first restaurant visit in Jacksonville,... FL, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Nick was our waiter and he was very attentive and professional. Mywife and I had a memorable time. Read more
Thomas was our server, anyone who comes in should ask for him. He is the absolute best, amazing energy, great recommendations on... everything, knowledgeable, and so funny. He took such great care of us and made my childhood favorite restaurant such a funexperience. If we visit Florida again, will come back. The king crab is amazing, we had old bay spice on it. But if you likespice Thomas recommend cajun. The shrimp and crab dig was also very good(another recommendation from Thomas). We sat outside andthe view was amazing! Read more
The hostess was sweet and brought me ice for my foot that I had twisted walking to the restaurant. The waiter was very nice and... plenty patient with us. We were a bit indecisive and needed extra time ordering our drinks. I was a bit disappointed that Icouldn’t get double fries instead of coleslaw as a normal. But it worked out because they were out of coleslaw and I ended upwith some extra fries. We Had the captains plate. It was super tasty. Perfect temperature. Enough food for us to share. We’vedecided that it is going to be our go to meal. We had chocolate cake for dessert. So much chocolate you feel naughty, but soyummy. They got the staff together and sang me happy birthday! Applause for making my birthday great! We can hardly wait to eatthere again! Read more
5 stars based on the food and TJ our waiter. Waited 45 min to be seated, but we were able to go to the bar and wait. After... seated, our server TJ got our drink order and food order and it all came in 15 minutes. Food was fantastic, server great, and agood experience. $$ This is the best Joe's we gave eaten at in Florida. Read more
I had dinner for my birthday here a couple of years ago and was sorely disappointed when I returned this year. Of 3 appetizers... we ordered, only one was available and the garlic toast was hard. It took forever. And the meal was just sad. Basic fish, plainrice, and a small scoop of broccoli. The best thing about the night was the sunset on the beach. And of course you can nevercomplain about good company. Read more
Splendid environment! Great food! Our food was fresh and not bad on the budget. The decor is awesome. The place was clean and... inviting. Our server was wonderful. Its a great location with a phenomenal view of the ocean. Its beach front so it's easyaccess when youre on the beach having fun. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and plan to go again. The shark nibble is really coolif you have children. I highly recommend this place for a bite to eat to everyone who visits! Read more
We came by on a Saturday afternoon early for lunch. We were seated well before the quoted 90 minute wait time, and didn't feel... rushed in any way. Despite being short staffed, our waiter was on the ball. We got drinks, appetizers, and our entrees camepromptly and without a hitch. I recommend Joe's as a local institution. It's right on the beach and has a decent amount of freeparking. It's a great place to have a great time! Read more
Went with a group of 3 for Sunday lunch. Assumed it would be busy, but probably due to the colder weather, there was no wait,... and we were seated right away. Lucas was our server, and he was the best. Super friendly and helpful. He checked on usfrequently without being overbearing, seemed to really enjoy working there, which was clear in the way he assisted us. Andyes, the food was delicious too. My only concern was with parking. There's a parking lot across the street specifically fordiners. However there was a gentleman out there, who placed cones by the entry and was charging $20 for parking and somewhataggressive in nature. When we pulled up, 4 cones were there and we assumed we couldn't use the space. When we couldn't findanywhere else to park, we came back around and he was like $20 if u wanna park and only when we specifically told him we weregoing to the restaurant, did he let us park. May need to address this, but that aside, loved it. Oh, btw, their outsideseating area is under construction so only option is to sit at the bar, if you want to be outside. Read more
