    Joe's Crab Shack
    Dorje K.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    Joe's Classic Seafood Boil

    Coming from a northern state, we were so excited to try some Florida southern seafood and I must say that this place did not disappoint. From the fun family friendly ambiance, decor, and amazing service, I was throughly happy with my experience and Joe's Crab Shack in Daytona and would attend again if I were to come back to this area!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Is the rooftop dog friendly?

    I hope not. Sick of eating who dogs are allowed.. Didn’t learn anything from china about animals in eating places.

    Is free parking available?

    If you can find parking on the street, which is very limited. Otherwise there are lots to pay and park in. Worth it though, great restraunt and location!

    My wife and I are in Daytona Beach to attend her nephew's graduation from college. Staying at the…read moreHilton, we decided to walk to Adam's Egg for breakfast, just over a mile away. Located on the beach side of Atlantic Avenue in what looks like a motel, Adam's Egg appears to be a popular place for motel guests. We were seated promptly by an overly friendly server and perused the menu. After hearing about their breakfast special, Adam's Breakfast Bowl, my wife decided to order that with crispy house potatoes, crispy bacon and scrambled eggs with gravy on the side ($15). She also ordered a side of toasted wheat toast ($2). I ordered the Adam's Two and Two with scrambled eggs, bacon and house potatoes ($13). We each ordered coffee ($8) and water to go with our meals. My wife liked her dish but thought the potatoes weren't crispy. My breakfast was fine, although I thought the scrambled eggs lacked the fluffiness that I've come to expect for an elevated breakfast experience. Lately, I've been judging breakfast joints by how fluffy their scrambled eggs are...and this didn't quite make the mark. It was an OK breakfast. The highlight of our meal was the friendly and efficient server. Breakfast for 2 with tip came out to just over $48.
