Joe's Crab Shack

The steamed king and queen crabs were delicious. The corn and potatoes tasted great too.

The staff was knowledgeable about what was GF. Although they provide a caveat that their menu is "gluten friendly" rather than GF due to possibility of cross-contamination, they stated that they prepare GF items in a separate part of the kitchen from breaded items. Also, for the meals, they substitute corn and potatoes for whatever side dishes they normally provide. Overall, very good experience.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not many options for those with celiac that also don't like seafood. Steak was tough, not many gf sides to choose from. Husband thought he would be nice and let me have some crab and was very disappointed in his meal.

Had a chopped salad without bread and cheese. Tasted fine. A place to go for a bucket of crab or shrimp but not too much else.

Even has a kids gluten free menu excellent service and great choice even deserts

Very helpful, answered all questions. Special menu

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.
