We had a wonderful dinner tonight. We had the pleasure of seeing our favorite manager, Tanya. Always a blessing chatting with you The service was great and the atmosphere was very comfortable. Michael was our server and was very attentive. If you're ever in the area and you want great food, visit this location in Clifton. They won't disappoint. Excellent experience... Thank you, Joe's Crab Shack

Our favorite for crab!! Joe's Crab Shack has amazing food. The place is clean and the food is served hot. The service is timely and the place is just enjoyable. The don't rush you and they don't trick you. They answer your questions and tell you what's good! My kind of place. They also,take reservations!! Bonus. If you have never tried, it's totally worth it. You can add on a salad for 1.35 Yep. Worth it. If you like Red Lobster you will LOVE LOVE Joe's Crab Shack! They also have themed drinks. One even has a shark in it. SO fun. I completely recommend the crab nachos. Omg! They are delicious AND sharable! Desserts come in two sizes so you can save or share. Honestly I'm usually way too stuffed to do a dessert...but someday! Lol. Go to Joe's Crab Shack. You can even take non seafood loving people with you. There is an amazing cheeseburger, sirloin and more choices on the menu! I can't wait to go BACK!

This is a great place to enjoy some great fresh seafood for a lot of reasons. The layout is adjusted just right to the time with this RoNa issue in the air but still feeling like you are surrounded by people not creeped up in a corner. I set up an reservation thru the google maps and it was perfect, we arrived and got a table right away no waiting even on a Saturday late afternoon. The staff is friendly and quick to take our orders. We got our food fairly quickly and all of us enjoyed our meals. It was my wife’s birthday and she loved seafood. She had a seafood platter with fried shrimp and I had a bucket of crab legs. The only thing different again because of RoNa. They could not sing happy birthday for my wife but they surprised her with a free cup of ice cream. The waiter also hooked us up with new cups to take home souvenir. All in all my wife was very happy for us taking her out to Joe’s Crab Shack and please with the tasty food.

My favorite restaurant! Chuck is an amazing manager! He took care of the entire restaurant with only one server and one bartender. Everybody was happy and well served when I went there. Food was amazing as usual. I highly recommend this place for great food and great service. Lindsey, the bartender was also great and very fast at making drinks, for the other server, taking care of the bar guests and some tables. I was really impressed. The specials and good food are simply an extra here. I’ll definitely be coming back to this 5 star place.

My favorite. They have the best crabs and mussels. You have to get dessert. They have a smores dessert!! Great drinks as well and great atmosphere. I had a snow crab bucket (old Bay seasoning), sweet potato fries on the side, my husband had the catfish entree and added snow crab to his meal. ...

Loved the place for it's big areas and lots of sitting options. You can sit inside or outside if preferred. Of course, their specialty is sea food but you can also find other good meals for those with allergy situations. Staff was friendly and courteous and you can have a great time wether you are eating or just having a drink with friends.

The atmosphere and service at Joe's was fantastic. If you ever come on weekends and manage to get Kelly as your server, you'll surely have an enjoyable meal. I was able to enjoy the 24 shrimp special which was a good deal for the price. Joe's always seems to impress with the deals on their menu, especially considerin gf the prices of seafood these days. Overall, I would recommend!

Great place to bring the family. The ambiance is great, there is music playing in the background and the food is lovely. I had the sampler platter for appetizer, it was a bit salty but a nice mix. Loved the fireballs! There is a gift shop when you enter and a waiting area for you to be seated. They also have a kids menu separate from the adults menu. If you are not a seafood person there are options there you can choose from just the same. Try the coconut shrimp- they are huge and taste amazing
