Joe's Crab Shack

I ordered from their gluten sensitive menu. Salmon, white rice, corn. Within an hour I was on the toilet and still having effects days later. Horrible experience 😭

I requested the gluten free menu and ordered the Ragin Cajun steam pot. Service was okay (the girl seemed stoned out of her mind) but she was friendly. The food was so good but did give me a reaction the next day unfortunately.

Celiac friendly?

No

Have eaten there several times never have an issue. Gluten free menu very clear and several options.

Worst experience at a restaurant. Hostess, waitress had no idea what on the menu was GF, but we found options online. Besides that, a whole streamer pot was dropped by me. That would have been ok but it wasn't all cleaned up until we were ready to leave. They forgot the corn and potatoes, brought a margarita not once, but twice, with salt even though my friend ordered it without. I know I sound crabby, excuse the pun, but I truly almost never complain! The good was good... here's hoping I don't get sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

I can't say many good things about this location. The staff does not understand what GF means. We had bad service throughout our visit.

Very helpful, answered all questions. Special menu

Very delicious! Staff knowledgeable about gluten and dairy free options. We eat there every time we come to Brandon and I never have a reaction.

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.
