Joe's Crab Shack

Not fresh seafood. But it will do when you're not near the coast.

I had a great experience here! I called ahead and talked to the manager, he was well informed and let me know he would take care of my food personally when I came in. Got there and asked for the GF menu and he showed up to my table in seconds! He cooked our order and came to the table after to check on us :-) yummmm lobster and shrimp! Awesome treat!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I got crab legs & the steamed potatoes. I started itching the next day. I assume it was the potatoes that did it but I'm afraid to go back now.

On the gluten free menu, it stated that I could have fries. So I asked for the manager, and asked her if they used 1 fryer just for fries. She said that they uses a fryer for fries and mozzarella sticks. Mozzarella sticks are not g-free. So if I wouldn't have asked, I could have ate something that was cross contaminated. Since I was with a group, I stayed and ate something that I knew was safe and it was good; however I will probably not return because of the restaurant not being fully informed about gluten free.

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.
