Joe's Crab Shack

Not great, not bad for me as a celiac. I have a 50/50 shot of getting cross contaminated here so not always worth it. The food is good and for someone with only a slight gluten sensitivity, it would be great.

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One of the managers' girlfriend is gluten free and he always comes out to the table to make sure things go well for us. He knows other options on the menu that are gf but not on the gf menu. I always have a great experience here!

Seafood was cooked perfectly, waiter was extremely helpful and cheerful, restaurant was very busy and food still came out quickly. I would definitely return my next trip to Omaha!

After reading the reviews I really didn't want go, but my husband loves Joe's so I thought I would give it a try. They were phenomenal. The manager came over and talked with me about what I could have. We got the classic pot that had a barbecue seasoning. She informed the kitchen of my celiac disease and ensured they would watch for cross contamination and avoid it at all costs.

Keep in mind, we were the first customers in the place. We wanted to go when it wasn't busy so they could focus more on my health restrictions.

If i could give it a 0 I would. our waiter was amazing but they have NOTHING gluten free on the kids meal. With a 7 yr old with celiac I asked if they could sub grilled chicken for the breaded stuff they had. The manager on duty Cassidy (I believe) said no at first had to threaten leaving and having a husband 2 teen boys 2 young girls and myself he finally got her to agree to let us order a side salad and a chicken breast then charged us 10 $ for it. This is my husband's favorite seafood chain but I refuse to go back until they address the menu issues for children. She isn't gluten free by choice and she was so unprofessional she REFUSED to come to the table to resolve the issue. I don't spend $120+ to have my child cry because they wont work with us making her feel bad about an allergy she can't help!

You're not going to get me in your joint until I can get a menu on line. After 15 minutes of trying I give up. I suggest you simplify the web page. However from the reviews I've read dont think the food is worth the trouble

ordered a couple different steam pots.

Crab was OK, lobster was like eating rubber...NOT GOOD, clams did not open...NOT GOOD (maybe not cooked correctly as none of them opened and were still served wait staff said it had been happening), substitued scallops...quarter size and really bad...NOT GOOD quality vs pricing...NOT GOOD, overall dining experience 2 STARS and that might be a bit generous.

Will probably pass on another visit....SAD

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.
