I see commercials for it all the time, but I've never been to one.  How is it?

    I have....it's nothing special...food is not memorable, they have the waiters dance and sing in the middle of dinner. Not bad but  not amazing.

    I have been and it is ok. To me they do not have the biggest variety on the menu but then again i guess that is why the are called Joe's crab shack lol. Also the seasoning I had on my crabs was a little salty to me but the drink I had was good. If you like crabs just go and check it out.

    I never ate there but always wanted to try it. The one time we tried to go, it was a 2 hour wait so we left :(

    I personally love their snow crab legs because they are salty, and I love salty crab legs. haha We went in the middle of the day on a weekend and the place was packed - lots of parties and large groups. It is a fun kind of place - they do the whole singing and dancing this as PP mentioned.

    Definitely go on a weeknight if you want to try it.  Food was decent, prices kind of high but I enjoyed my seafood steamed in Sam Adams.

    I've been to the one on Rt. 1 in Lawrenceville, and thought that the food was not fresh or inspired...plastic, almost- it's definitely a chain, and you can tell.

    Maybe there trying to pull a Sonic! I felt like I saw the commercial all the time, and never saw Sonic. Then Sonic came and it was attack mode!!

    I've been to the one in South Plainfield and was not impressed at all. The quality was poor and the service was awful.

    I hit them up when I go to houston or carolina.  I like the food and the place.  Not sure why the one here is getting such bad reviews

    If you go on a weekend you need to go at like 4:30 to avoid the wait.  If you like crabs you should try it.  I always get teh shrimp and I like it.

    The food is decent, prices a little high for what it is... I just went this past Saturday.  The Sam Adams steampot was pretty good.
