Joe's Crab Shack - Garden Grove

We're just here and we won't be back. service was friendly but very slow. my daughter steak are completely finished, we sent it back and when they got it back, we were all done. they have not taken it out of the bill that is completely unacceptable. server was nikki. we will not be back, not the $100 bill for an average meal and very bad service worth

Joe's Crab Shack has been around a long time. What once was a fun seafood dining experience has become mediocre at best. My latest trip yielded cold Atlantic Steampots. Very disappointing given the restaurant was maybe 10% full if that.

Definitely a place where the food looks good but the taste was almost bland.Presentation, as expected was marvelous.I had to ask if they even salt the water, and they don't. If you want the meat to have any flavor, ask for the garlic butter bath.Still paid full price for them to put it back in the pot and overcook it some more.Ordered a shrimp sampler, stuffed mushrooms, and an Atlantic steamer pot.Mushrooms could have had a few more minutes, the breading was mush.The Steamer pot had corn that was undercooked, shrimp and lobster was overcooked, and the crab was perfect. The potatoes and sausage were not appetizing.Our waiter didn't come to check on us to see if the food was okay, if we needed refills on our beverages, but instead went straight to seeing if I needed the manager when things went wrong. I had to go up to him, as he asked everyone around my son and I if they were good, how was their food and if they'd like refills.Decent food, respectable staff but very poor experience overall.Been going to Joe's Crab Shacks all over the country and by far this was the worst.Sad because it was a late celebration for my birthday.

Excellent experience! Definitely pricey, but worth it! Recommend going with a partner and getting a bucket for 2. Fun-cracking experience, lots of crab, shrimp, and lobster. Food is good. But the experience is what makes it great!

Husband and I went in around 11am. Was greeted by I assume was the Manager. Bartender/ waiter came to our table asked what we wanted to drink. Both gentlemen were very friendly and fast. Alchoholic beverage was tasty, and food was amazing. We had no complaints. Service there was great! I do recommend you come here and experience the atmosphere. Ok well I do have 1 complaint crab leggs can be a little crunchy so I can use the crab cracker lol but they give you all the the tools to eatWell enjoy! We will definitely be back.?????
