What People Are Saying About Joe's Crab Shack - Nashville
The Owner
Joe's Crab Shack - Nashville
Owner
Joe's is the kind of place that welcomes you in warmly and feeds you delicious seafood. But it doesn't stop there. It's here that good food, good times, and good memories are created everyday. We're a little quirky, but we're proud of it. So strap on a bib, order your favorite bucket of crab and don't be afraid to dance.

In Short – Admittedly kitschy, unavoidably noisy, this Red Lobster for rug rats is like an oversized seaside shanty awash in oceanic memorabilia--fishing nets, souvenir trinkets, plastic flotsam and jetsam. Staffed with a lively crew of G-rated table-dancing servers, the family-friendly chain anchors its menu in all things crab: Crab balls, crab cakes, crab dip, crab gumbo. Finicky children opt for corndogs or hamburgers; shellfish-phobic adults dine on rib eye steak or mesquite-grilled chicken.

Joe's bad joke
by Food Lovert
Steamer pott was terrible and expensive. I think Captain Dee's is better. Stay away from this one.
- Pros: none
- Cons: parking cost bad food

Joe's is my absolute favorite place to eat...in the world!
by rachel1523
I am NOT a huge seafood fan, but I absolutely love Joe's Crab Shack. The first time we went, my husband had to drag me inside and I pouted the entire time we were there...until the food arrived. My husband ordered the Crab Nachos as an appetizer (which made me furious because I hate crab.) WRONG!!!!! I ate over half of the crab nachos and was IN LOVE! (I order them every time I visit now.) Because I was still pouting when we ordered, I settled for shrimp (normally the only seafood I like) but we ended up sharing both our meals because I LOVED the crab cakes my husband ordered. The next time we went, we took the kids and they both ordered popcorn shrimp- which I was sure they would never eat. WRONG again! They received HUGE portions and ate until they were stuffed, then took their leftovers home for lunch the next day. JOE'S IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE RESTAURANT!
- Pros: Fun atmosphere, great food, great prices!
- Cons: NONE- SERIOUSLY!

- Pros: What a Joke
- Cons: A very bad joke
