Create your own crab bucket: 1) choose your crab from 7 choices, then 2) pick a flavors from a pool of 8. Dance along the tunes with the bib, have fun and enjoy your crabs .

We had the Joe’s Classic for Two. Crabs weren’t overly seasoned. Shrimp were easy peeling. Good amount for us both. Atmosphere was filled with good cheer. A great time for Saturday evening.

Melanie Rollis Safner

We came once around dinner time and the wait was so long.. Now we come earlier, around 3, and have never had to wait. Crab nachos are fantastic way to start your meal.

Danielle Crawford

Patio Punch...I love this drink. Oh and of course the food here is good.

John L.

Everything. Nice combo of different sea foods and some steaks and burgers .

Diane Quaas

The pots are great and you can substitute if need to. Great drinks too!

Robin Taylor Roth

They have a small-size dessert option . Do it! No guilt, just pleasure.

Michael Cinquegrana

Wear the bib! You'll regret it if you don't! Haha! First dates beware ... this is dig in kind of eatin'!

Cindy Calvano

If you have kids and it is warm enough eat outside. There is an awesome private playground for them to run around in and it it MUCH quieter .

Sabrina Madjeski

The food is always amazing. Love the staff . Miss working here.

Jacqui Hillman

Ask for old bay seasoning on the fries - so good!

Joy Abiog

for a party of 2, it took us less than 30 minutes to get a table. of course, we went after dinnertime. definitely worth the wait!

Keith Petersen

Its all good. Get the boil and beers

Ashley Gonzales

The wait is crazy long most times but worth it. Get the BBQ snow crab and finish off with the crabby apple crumble

Miyoshi DeSouza

Waited 2 hrs but it was well worth it. I had the fried calamari , lobster bisque and the samuel adams pot! All delicious!

Jason

Always a long wait but its so worth it. Order the shark bite drink. Its hilarious.

Michael Luther

Say Hi to Meghan at the bar ! Tell her Luther sent you.

Victor Vargas

You gotta try the "Balls of fire"; a mix of shrimp , crab and jalapeño , they're awesome...!

Lorenzo

Don't tell them it's your birthday. They will perform unspeakable acts.

Ryan Stern

If you don't mind eating at the bar , you can save an hour or so eating there instead of a table. Plus, the bartenders are really cool!

Cia

most fun for miles and miles

Wendy Tom

Martyna Motyka

ANGIE IS THE BEST SERVER EVER

M. Justin Brantley

Try the popcorn shrimp for all of you shrimp lovers out there!

Klaudia Fraszczyk

Servers and extremely nice, food is fast and delish.

Dave Ortega

Go to any other Joe's anywhere, just not this one. The service was terrible, the food was worse and management is utterly useless. If you want to go to Joe's just take the trip to a different one.

Jessica Goley

When the waiters/waitresses are dancing ....TICKlE THEIR ARMPITS.

Amol Utrankar

Decent food, but the culture of the place (bibs, loud music ) may not be your thing.

Danielle Inman

$2 Tuesdays are worth it..

sam harris

Sonja P

Ragin Cajun steampot is da Bomb...fire grilled if course!!

Corrin Swepson

Carlos Brandon

Vern is the best server!!!

Dan Surman

Music could be lower around lunch time

Jody Larson

Here's a tip, dont bet on horses!

Susan

Good was good but not worth the 1.5 hour wait on a Saturday night ????

Jason Amato

Caution: Food is spicy and they do not caution you. I did enjoy it, but others in my party did not.

Takeshi Yamamoto

Anyone who says it's too lots has no idea what joes is about. Those complaints ruined the joes experience.

Kelli Solomon

Just because you're under staffed doesn't mean quality should suffer and you take it out on the customers.

Ralph Hernandez

Steam pots

Wei Vayn

Try the Apple Crumble - Yum
