Sat at the bar bc it was readily available. Service was TERRIBLE. Never even got napkins or silverware. Our meals took over 90 minutes to be delivered. It was Valentine's Day but *everyone* around us was served *and left* before we got our food. I ordered a shrimp po boy...the roll was so unbelievably hard, I gave up trying to bite into it and just ate the contents. Very disappointed to get such a bad meal with bad service on my vacation. read more

So we didn't hit this spot the last couple of years we've been here in Orlando but my wife kept hyping up the nachos and the food so we just checked into our room and decided to take a Lil drive. Found it and we were promptly seated. Wife and i are looking for the nachos but they're not on the menu so we ask our server and he says they just changed menus but he goes back to the kitchen and gets us hooked up. We also get the Great American Boil and our food is promptly served. Also ordered a cocktail and it was so good. We have a great time and the food was great as was the service. We will be back as we had a blast read more

Hubby and I stopped in here for lunch. So glad we did. Our waitress Zainab was superb. The place was clean and nice open atmosphere. Food came out nice and hot, Zainab kept our drinks refreshed. We ordered the Joes Classics each. The dungeons crabs were huge, full of meat, juicy and sweet. As well as the shrimps, corn, tasty sausages and potatoes. The sauce was well made and packed with flavor. See you soon again Jose's on I-Drive. read more

Was invited by a friend to join for dinner, after several years of not going (not for lack of interest, just never got to it). Our server Joe was very sweet and attentive. The Kitchen Manager Kimberly sat down with us to go over my allergy needs and assured us that she would take great care of us(and even offered to make me something off the menu if I couldn't find something). The food came out fresh, hot, and fast. It was nice to not worry about anything and just enjoy talking with a friend I rarely get to sit down and just relax with. The food was tasty and I now have a newfound appreciation for Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp! read more

This is a nice place on I-Drive. It's pretty spacious with plenty of seating inside and outside. The bar area is smaller but there were plenty of seats available while I was there. Our server was great. Very attentive and polite. It seemed he was the only server but managed to handle it all. Great job Diamontae! We enjoyed the Calamari as an appetizer. My daughter absolutely loved the Cajun mixed sea food. I really enjoyed the music playing while we were eating. It's located right accross from Point Orlando. Perfect location for a walk before or after dinner. read more

No one was at stand to seat us when we came in. I waited several minutes until a bus girl spotted us from the back and came all the way to the front to help us. Also there was a wet rag and a Stanley at the stand. Not nice. Bus girl is Hispanic; didn't catch her name. Server Brittany was pleasant, speedy, and attentive. read more

Brittany is very attentive and food is delicious! and the environment was great and clean.

Ordered the Crab Daddy Feast. It had decent flavor, but everything was overcooked, seafood and corn was mushy. Had the server returned even once to check on us, I could have pointed that out, but we were long finished by the time he came back. Nothing taken off the bill. Probably won't return. read more

Bartender was our server. She was great. Food was meh. Got appetizers and was very underwhelmed. Some of it was cold. Overall place needs updates and cleaned. Went at opening and the bathroom was filthy from the day before. Sad. Used to be the place to go! read more

We came here after a long day at Universal. I love the variety they have on their menu and their alcoholic drinks are a good price and you can get a souvenir cup depending on what you order. Overall service was quick and I love the ambience of the sea theme at Joe Crab Shack. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in Orlando. read more

Great job to Brittany our server she was great and so was the food. Will definitely be going back.

Joe was our server and he was fantastic!! We got the crab boil and everything was excellent!! Great atmosphere, great food, great service!!

We were excited to find a Joe's Crab Shack in Orlando, as the ones in Chicagoland all seem to have closed down. This one is located near ICON Park, so it's a nice, fun area. The restaurant is large and has a fun theme. Service was friendly. We ordered a shrimp & seafood ensemble, which included coconut shrimp, popcorn shrimp, regular fried shrimp, fries, hush puppies, and fish. It was enough food for my wife, son, and I to share. After a long hiatus, it was satisfying, although I wouldn't say anything was exceptional except the coconut shrimp and hush puppies. Still, it was nice and seemed like a good value. read more

Joe's Crab Shack - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The atmosphere is themed very well. Lots of nautical decor. The corner we were in was very dim though. I thought that we could use a little more light. Service here is very friendly and quick! The food is honestly just average but good to satisfy the need for seafood. I like how there are many different options from fried, to boiled, to grilled for many types of seafood. The pricing is relatively good too for the area. I got the pirate's platter and it was way more good than I needed as one person. I also saw that they have new food and drink menu items if you haven't been in a while. It's definitely worth checking out if you are nearby. read more

Went here on a Wednesday night and surprisingly it wasn't that busy and we were able to get seated right away. The service was amazing since they were super aware of when we needed water refills and were constantly checking in on us. We took the I-Drive Trolley back to our hotel which was super accessible since the stop was just a short walk away. Always love the food and ambiance at joe's crab shack. Even though we were visiting the area, instead of trying something new, we knew we'd love eating here again. read more

Visited on a Monday night and almost no one was there. Our server was extremely friendly and took our order quickly. The food took longer than most spots to come out, but I enjoyed my meal. My friends did not love theirs as much. King Crab Cluster ($11.99 when ordered with an entree): I got this steamed with a side of butter but you can choose to get it Cajun style or with garlic etc. I thought the flavor was good - I like crab, so no complaints. Cup of Clam Chowder ($4.99 when added to an entree): Flavor was good, extremely small portion for a cup but it was filling and comes with oyster crackers. Waitress gave us extra crackers too! Fish and Chips: Fish was soggy. Taking this home and popping it in the air fryer would've restored it. Lacked flavor (needed salt). Grilled Tilapia: Friend asked for it grilled but it came blackened (or burnt). Said the rice and veggies were cold. He gave it 2 stars. Seafood Ensemble: A mix of fish, fried shrimp, and coconut shrimp. I tried the coconut shrimp and it was weird - tasted like honey bunches of oats granola type cereal and the shrimp was flavorless and mushy. Wouldn't recommend. Shoutout to our server - she was great!! But this spot lacked the energy of other Joe's I've visited. Will happily take other seafood reccs for Orlando! read more

A wonderful experience and hospitality, Thank you Dave. Best Customer Service since I've been here in Florida... All the way from El Paso Texas! See you in February and I will definitely make my first stop here.. Thank you for the laughs Dave! 5+ Star read more

Queen crab had no taste and they should go back to the old way of steaming them what they do now is add a sauce and you cannot hold the crab it's to slimy Landreys should close it there are better crab places in Orlando read more

They have a really good happy hour. The drinks were terrible. I order a mojito and my cousin order a Long Island. It cost us $6.00 so we were like meh! No need to complain. We shared the seafood nachos & the seafood boil. The server was in it the food was good.nachos came out nice and hot. The seafood boule as delicious. read more

Food was good! The crab legs could have been better but over all Everyone that didn't order crab legs had a great meal. I'll order them again. I have eaten there before and the crab legs were amazing. Could have been the time of year. Waitress was awesome! read more

Brittany was super friendly, great suggestions offerings for our dinning experience. Thank you, can't wait to come back.

They closed all the Joe's Crab Shack locations in the New York/Nj area and somehow there's multiple locations in FL. Anyways, I went around 3:30pm on a Thursday afternoon and sat in a booth. It was quite empty inside the restaurant, but I noticed that everyone shows up at 4pm. My server told me that they no longer serve the crab legs in the pot, they've changed to the steam bags. I placed my order of queen crab legs steam pot of mussels, sausage, corn, potatoes and shrimp. My server brought it out to my table, shaked the flavors around in the bag and poured it out onto a platter. Yes, I ate it all. Still perfect! read more

What a fun little spot to hang out at! The location is great and parking is easy, tons of fun stuff around the area. Was my first time here so I was overwhelmed by the menu options but the server was amazing and helped us pick so we were able to get a little bit of everything. Definitely recommend this location if you are looking for a casual spot with a fun atmosphere and great service read more

Joe's Crab Shack - Snow Crab - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This was my first time to a Joe's in well over a decade. I was in the area for my job and needed to grab some dinner. Since the places across the street were all packed and I was looking for something healthier, I thought Joe's might have some healthy seafood options. I sat at the bar and it took a LONG time to even get a drink. The bartender was overwhelmed, and she was working very hard. The manager came in to help, which was good to see. I ordered salmon, which came with rice and veggies. The salmon and veggies were good, but the rice was absolutely gross. It was like it had been sitting out for hours and hours.....hardened and stuck in a giant clump. Overall, I was quite disappointed, but I'll give them a bit of a break because it seemed to be a bit of an off day. read more

The service was very poor. Took a long time to be seated, took a long time to get our order and when we finally got our order, it was incorrect and it wasn't corrected on the bill. We will not go back again. It's really not worth it, especially if you're not getting good service. The drinks were watered down and food was okay. read more

We have been in Orlando for 3 days . Dinner from the first two nights I wouldn't feed to my dogs . We went to Joe's Crab Shack today and they more than made up for the first two nights . Service is wonderful the food was delicious I would recommend Joe's Crab Shack on iDrive to anybody that comes to Orlando and was looking for some good food thank you guys read more

Great service at the bar. Food came out quick. Only thing detracting was the rice was a bit cold like it was microwaved. But overall good

My family are crab enthusiasts and we've had the opportunity to try several different Joe's Crab Shack locations over the years. I found this one too be a bit different from the others. We were excited to find a Joes in Orlando while on vacation. We definitely had to try it! Made our reservation and skipped lunch! The address was very easy to find and is located on the corner of a lot and across from Icon park and the Orlando eye. When we arrived the inside restaurant was empty and we were seated outside. There were a few tables in use out there. The patio overlooks the street. This location has a playground for the kids very close to the tables. I found this to be nice for young families. The location isn't bad but I think we were just hoping for more of a vacation vibe as thats what we are accustomed to with other Joe's locations. The food was ok. It wasn't amazing or terrible. I think for a high tourist location they could wow it up a little. It was a mediocre experience but we ate. I likely would not visit again. read more

I came here not expecting much and getting a little better than expected. I was given a gift card for this restaurant and didn't want it to go to waste. My family and I came in a Friday night expecting it to be very busy, but it wasn't at all. However, we still had to wait an exceptionally long time to be seated because there was no hostess at the hostess stand. When she returned from "in the back" and we were seated, our server came out quickly and was very attentive. Until we received our food and then she seemed to disappear as well. She only refilled one person's drink and we couldn't find her, so I had to refill my water with that person's water because I was so parched. As for the food, the coconut shrimp was good. I could Pass on the Joe's sampler. I felt like the sea food dip was pretty runny (but it had good flavor), the great balls of fire and the calamari were pretty flavorless. I ordered the salmon and did enjoy that very much. The asparagus was also cooked well -nice and crispy. My husband ordered the stuffed flounder and he was underwhelmed by it. Overall, this was as expected for a large chain sea food restaurant. I would return if I had another gift card, but I wouldn't make a special trip to eat here again otherwise. read more
