Joe's Crab Shack

Absolutely amazing! They had options for a person with celiacs. The king crab is delicious! I've been back twice since I was diagnosed and haven't had any problems.

For about $35 I got:

1 x Rubbery over-cooked bland lobster

6 x Rubbery over-cooked bland shrimp

1/4 of a Rubbery over-cooked bland crab (mostly legs)

2 x Under-cooked bland red potatoes

1 x Small under-cooked bland corn on the cob

Everything fit on one dinner sized plate and was enough food for one person and maybe a child, tops. There was so much water in it, it was very messy. Most of it was so over-cooked or under-cooked as to be inedible. I ate the shrimp, corn and my tiny portion of crab and that was it. I know this is the desert and I shouldn't expect great seafood at great prices but this was ridiculous.

Yes

Very tasty seafood and had a descent gluten free selection. The service left something to be desired, but the food was good.

Had high hopes for this place, but it started off with the shrimp in my steam pot not being cleaned properly. Manager was nice and took money off the bill. I thought all precautions were taken because my steam pot came out in a different thing than my husbands. After getting back to our condo, I was up sick all night. So, some kind of cross contact did end up happening and I ended up sick. This hasn't happened to me in a long time. I really was hoping for a good experience here.

Food was honestly terrible. Extremely bland, they didn’t even have salt on it. I was very disappointed.
