Our waitress Lisa was such an amazing human. She made the experience one that makes us want to come back our next vacation

Fast service. Clean place. The best was the hush puppies. The price is moderate. Ordered the fish sandwich. It was fresh and tasty. read more

I had such an amazing experience at Joe's Crab Shack, and it was truly because of the outstanding service we received. From the moment we walked in, the energy was welcoming, upbeat, and attentive. Our server Larry went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable, answered all of our questions with patience, and made thoughtful recommendations that were spot on. What really stood out was their positive attitude and genuine kindness. Even during busy moments, they stayed professional, efficient, and friendly. It's rare to find someone who balances speed, accuracy, and personality so effortlessly. They didn't just "do their job" -- they created an experience. The food was fantastic, but the service is what made the visit memorable. Employees like this are the reason customers come back and recommend Joe's to others. Please recognize them for their hard work and dedication -- it absolutely does not go unnoticed! read more

Stopped in with our Landry's membership to be able to get a table for the 12 of us for dinner after an event in town. We were seated after about 10 minutes and greeted right away. Joe's is not typically my go to, but it was close and easy to get to from where we were. The server was very attentive and made sure we all had full drinks and any sides or condiments that we needed. We were a large party, but he was very attentive. The staff was having a good time with the drinks, birthdays, and doing the cupid shuffle. I was not very hungry so I ordered the peel and eat shrimp, but I didn't want the old bay seasoning on it since that is spicy to me. They were able to do that, but it did leave the shrimp without much flavor. They were cooked well, but also came out luke warm instead of hot. Fun dinner with adequate food, but the view is also amazing! read more

Joe's Crab Shack was one of the highlights of our Daytona Beach Dinning We ended up going twice!! Being right on the pier over the ocean gives it an unbeatable vibe. Our first visit we ordered the Crab Daddy Feast (assortment of different crab) and king crab boil (just king crab) The crab was sweet, cooked perfectly, and the portions were huge. We liked it so much we came back the next day. Our sever Larry recommended the Captain's Calamari which was a restaurant fav and it totally hit the spot. We also we also tried the Joe's Classic boil which had a little bit of everything and another round of the king crab. Overall Great food, great service, and a long drink menu (it's more of a book) We'll definitely be back soon. Keep doing your thing Joe's! read more

Came here just for a snack and a drink. This location is usually really busy and is located on the pier. I ended up ordering a margarita and and some calamari. The drink tasted good but I felt it was extremely watered down. The calamari was great though. It was crispy and tasted very fresh, also well seasoned. I did have higher hopes for the drink but the bite of food made up for it. If you just want a casual beach vibe and a quick bite check out Joes. read more

This restaurant has the potential to be a great hangout spot--you can't beat the location! Unfortunately for us, we stopped by on our way to DAB on one of the windiest days imaginable. The staff was friendly and quick to understand our need to head out to catch a flight. Hopefully, you'll have better weather than we did! read more

Ceasar salad with salmon. Tasty but simple and actually it was nice for it just to be that simple. No need for a lot of extras. Just a good piece of salmon done well and a balance amount of dressing with romaine lettuce. All in good taste within one another. Love being outside on the boardwalk and the service was quick and attentive. read more

Been to other Joe's Crab Shack in another state , so vibe here is more of a busy restaurant, but our waitress Brigitte was great and attentive, in other ones they have a middle waiters and waitress dance show , but food was great and place seating also great , there was a little delay on initial seating but no big deal read more

I expected Joe's to be a typical, overpriced tourist trap, where you're really paying for the ambiance and the view. Well, it isn't cheap, but neither is the crab. And the nautical décor and view were superb. But this ain't no tourist trap! Our food (stuffed salmon and a crab boil) was outstanding. They use fresh, small-kernel, butter and sugar corn in the boil and it was perfect! Tender and sweet, not the usual tough, frozen corn you usually get at seaside places. And the crab legs (I had Dungeness, Snow, and King) were deliciously seasoned in the exact combo that I had requested. They might consider adding banana pudding to the dessert menu though. One fun thing was they wrote fun messages on the paper bibs they give you if you order crab. I didn't use mine, but it was fun to see the different quips on those who were wearing them. One thing that really stuck out was the service. Fast and friendly throughout the room. And the manager came to every table and thanked us for coming in. You don't get that kind of hospitality much anymore, especially not at busy seaside restaurants. I'm sold on Joe's (this one, at least). It will definitely be a highlight on future trips to Daytona and I will be trying other locations as I encounter them. read more

We were here a week and 3x at Joes. Great fresh crab, cooked lots of ways. On the pier - you can't miss it. Salads, - apps, sides, asparagus is tasty. FISH blackened, boiled, grilled Lively, fun, tasty food. Variety of beers on tap. read more

Look, I LOVE Joes Crab Shack. Is it good for you? Nope. But does it taste AMAZING? Yes. This location is located right on the beach at Daytona. Now this is a super busy location show if you don't mind, the bar is good to go. It's super noisy and busy but again, it's Joes. I 100% recommend this location read more

Joe's Crab Shack - Shrimp Sampler - Seafood Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

Walked down to dinner here last night. It's located out on a long pier. You can park up on the street but it's a fair walk to the actual restaurant. Lively spot that is typically slammed when we've been by in prior years. Last night was pretty mellow for a Saturday night. We walked in with 8 and were seated right away at 6:30pm. Service was good. They have what appears to be pretty good team work for a good customer service experience. Food always fine. Not exceptional, not bad just fine. Felt overpriced. I had the Joe's Favorite boil and was a little disappointed. Comes with 2 kinds of crab, sausage potatoes and a hard boiled egg. Crab seemed to be overcooked as it was lacking moisture and lightness. It was dense and almost chewy. Asked for very mild seasoning but came out very spicy. Same with the sausage. For $50 I wasn't impressed. I would ask for very little or no sauce next time. (I ordered the original optional for reference. Kids meals were typical kid "food"... noodles, Mac, tenders, pizza. Overall it was fine. Tourist kinda place. Fun for kids. Loud, busy. Average food. Not my kind of spot. read more

I went here during a work trip and I tried their combo sauce on some snow crab legs. I had a friendly staff and amazing host that welcomed me and seated me. The atmosphere was gorgeous and definitely open. The food quality was great. I just didn't enjoy the combo sauce with Cajun, lemon pepper, and garlic butter. I will give them another try once I head back over there. I will just try another sauce of course. read more

We had such an amazing time here the first time we came back for the second day in a row. Our servers were Taylor (first visit), & Owen (second visit) they were absolutely incredible and they are the reason we had such a great time. The food was awesome and we ate a lot of it. The King crab legs were amazing, we enjoyed it all. We cannot say enough about the excellent service we received and how delicious the food is at Joe's. We will definitely be returning here. read more

I had a very frustrating experience at the upstairs bar at Joe's Crab Shack in Daytona on April 10. The bartender working the 2 PM shift (woman with short brown hair & horrible teeth) ignored me for over 10 minutes while I was simply trying to pay my tab, yet continued serving multiple customers who approached after me, and were standing next to me. After being overlooked for that long, I tried to get her attention out of frustration and she then kicked me out of the bar instead of having the situation handled professionally. As someone who has owned a brewery for over 8 years, I can confidently say this was some of the worst customer service I've experienced--disorganized, dismissive, and unnecessarily confrontational. What makes this even more disappointing is that we were in town for a cheer event, and my wife had organized a group of about 40 parents to visit later that evening. After this exeperience, the group went to LandShark that night and the following evening, where we received exceptional customer service. Losing one customer is one thing--losing a large group and the word-of-mouth that comes with it is another. Experiences like this hurt both revenue and reputation. Extremely disappointing, will never go back. Took the crew instead to read more

We loved the atmosphere here and how decorative it is. The food was perfect. I got the chicken Alfredo which had great flavor and garlic bread on a baguette, and my husband got the fried shrimp basket. But most of all, our waitress Bridgette made the experience one to remember. She was very attentive, friendly and personable. We had a great conversation with her and appreciated that she cared about our experience. read more

The food was absolutely lovely. We had only appetizers and I was amazing. The service was incredible. They were so nice and made sure we had everything we needed for a great dining experience. We sat outside where we could see the ocean. Would definitely recommend! read more

Edit: they commented here for me to reach out as if they wanted to make it right or talk about our experience. I emailed they. They said they would get back to me and never did. First impression was the place had a beautiful view at night viewing the moon over the ocean on the walk up. When you enter it's very colorful. We waited at host stand for about 3 minutes before acknowledged. The bar tender smiled and told us the host will be here soon. The host was nice and sat us. When I saw the table first thought was my bench seat was dirty , but my table looked good. Took 8 minutes before someone greeted us at our table. It was weird because I saw a lot of employees around, about 10 other people dinning in but no one acknowledged us until I finally asked someone who walked passed us. I Only know the time because I wanted to place drink order before used bathroom. On positive note, the bathroom was clean. 18 minute to appetizer One steampot took an additional 18min. Server took off the top and then went to get us plates which took 10 minutes so food got cold. We didn't even have a knife to cut the sausage in our steampot. Finally we started to eat out meal. I went to go grab a shrimp and all i could see was a medium sized black straight hair in the shrimp. Gag! Manager came over and apologized. She said she will take it off the check. Never offered anything else, though appetite was lost. They took off the steampot. Fortunately the nachos were delicious and got our hunger filled by them! Best part of the night was spending time with my wife. Expensive food, bad service, I wouldn't go back by choice. We came to see if we wanted to bring back our family but after tonight's experience I know it's not worth it. read more

So kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we sat down. Everyone made us feel completely taken care of without ever being overbearing.

This was a bad experience all around. The food was not good, the wait staff weirdly paid attention to one half of are party but ignored the other and it is ridiculously expensive. Sure it is cool that it is on the pier. So walk to the end of the pier then go get food at any number of place that is better. Hulls is always a good bet. read more

The experience was awesome, my server Bridgette made it a very pleasurable experience. The food was great too and the portion I got was great. I say this from the eyes of a former server on Cape Cod in the mid 1980's. I would definitely go back. read more

This was a fantastic experience. The food was great. Typical seafood boil. I have no complaints. It tasted really good. Was seasoned really well. Only thing is I wish it was in a bag so that the food could have absorbed the seasoning a little more. The service was great though and the ambiance was cool, this place is right on the beach. I'd come here again. Loved it. read more

We stopped here after a gymnastics meet. We were a party of 12. We only waited about 10 minutes for a table. Our waiter was friendly, helpful, and on the spot with refills and making sure that we had everything we needed or wanted the restaurant was clean the staff was friendly. We enjoyed a variety of seafood, including peel and eat shrimp which the only complaint was that they were not deveined we had two orders of those we had a couple of foils some steak and seafood platters, which were delicious. The portions were huge so I ordered an appetizer of a crabcake and tomato salad with a side of coconut shrimp. The crabcake was very large and very, very tasty. Enjoyed immensely the coconut shrimp were great as well. the sauce had a bit of more spice in it that I would care for, but it went down well the kids enjoyed their shark drinks and their rice crispy treats that they could paint and decorate. Several people took home doggy bags all in order. It was a nice experience and the food was good for everyone. read more

Started dinner outside primarily because my daughter and wife thought that would be a better experience. It was not! The table was dirty. The chairs were not very comfortable, the temperature was warm, the sun was setting and our umbrella did not provide any shade. We immediately asked to be moved inside which we were with no problem. We went there for my birthday, which Kaylee seemed excited about, but by the end of the meal nothing was done to celebrate my birthday. We ordered up our meals and after a short wait they arrived.. everyone enjoyed their meals. I ordered the Joe's crap special crab plate with asparagus as my vegetable. You came with green beans which we brought to the waitresses attention. She said she would be back with the asparagus, but the asparagus never came until after we were done eating.. we went to gift shop after we were finished eating. We went to pay for our items and had to wait 10 minutes for someone to show up at the gift shop. 2/5 Stars. read more

This is a cool fun place with good vibes. We started out with a Category 5 Hurricane and a Shark Bite Drinks. I can say after visiting Daytona for the past 35 years, the Hurricane was probably the best drink I've ever had. It really packed a punch. The service provided by Tiffany was very good. She was attentive to our needs. We ordered the Coconut Shrimp and the Shrimp and Seafood Ensemble. The shrimp on both plates was a bit over fried (hard) but very tasty and the French fries were cold and they could be kicked up a notch with some type of seasoning. They were very bland. Hence the 4 star instead of 5. We will be visiting again. read more

Well it is on the water. I've been to a few others a few times and knew what I was getting into. Food here was horrible! Calamari came out dark brown ( dirty oil in the fryer my guess) hardly any calamari but a lot of fried veggies . The calamari that was in it was freezer burnt like crazy. We hardly ate any of it. I had the Grouper sandwich ‍. Not sure it was grouper . Over-breaded and only comes fried!?. Terrible sandwich. My son had the tacos and he enjoyed them. I guess stick to Shrimp and crab or maybe the burger. Server never asked us how the food was... I'm sure they know better than to ask that. read more

Joe's Crab Shack - The Cajun - Seafood Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

Been here in April and it's s always cold and windy. Roof bar service is slow. They cater to their regulars walking right past you without even making eye contact. A simple hello be right with you would help. That's bartender 101. Of course it's an outside bar so all drinks are in plastic that's a given. They have a DJ, not my thing they would be better off with no music at all. read more

Loving the location. The food is pretty good! I love the Cajun sauce. I ordered the snow crab, dungeness and shrimp combo. They were pretty good quality! Corn was large and deliciously sweet. Pricing was reasonable and for the parking... about $5 for a few hours on the lot with the restaurants logo. Outside seating was only allowed on the front deck and not the back. Service was quick and she really took care of me, drinks were strong and tasted good. Overall? Not the Joe's Crab Shack I remember .. such an upgrade!!! With a view! read more
