I have not been to this location in about 3yrs. Last time I was here the food was so so and the service was the same. So I decided to stop in and give them another shot. THANK GOD, I did. OMG the food was excellent from the shack snacks I highly recommend the Great balls of fire these were outstanding and tasted great with a little kick. The Shrimp and seafood ensemble again outstanding, cooked to perfection and last but not least the east coast platter is another dish that I highly recommend. I also want to give a big thank you to the hostess Sam, your service was perfect and it was a pleasure to have her as a hostess.I left full but wanting more. I can't wait to return.!

The food was ok. The popcorn shrimp and the coconut shrimp were good. The fried shrimp didn't have a good taste. I think the service was much better than the food. Tea was great. I don't think I will go back there any time soon. I think I prefer pirate's cove.

5 Stars for waitress only. Clean restaurant. Waitress wore clean uniform. She was extremely attentive. A little too dark at our table near kitchen door. Had to use my flashlight to see my plate. Manager never greeted us or spoke to us. Just walked by us for 2 hours and didn’t speak. Crab Pots have doubled in price. They don’t sell hotwings anymore. Grilled shrimps were overly dry. Salmon was dry. Steak had to be sent back to cook longer. Crab & Shrimp dip was excellent. Cake was great! Drinks were perfect! Tip your bartender. Anyway Happy 46th birthday to me.

Very expensive I got fish and chips my husband got a variety plater we got 2 appitzers a couple mixed drinks it was $88.00 that's ok if food was really good but the white fish didn't have any floor I was really wanting crab cakes .said they didn't have any yet said they didn't have ingredients uh ok but the had crab dishes .the waitress was very nice . They had some cool displays

I took my son and daughter out because my daughter turned 50. Everyone was very friendly. Our server Cinda was very good at her job. She checked on us causally but not over beating . I would ask for her when I go backHighly professional .

Waite staff was great. The food left a lot to be desired. Portions way too small for the price and quality of the food was not good.

The waitress and staff were good even though it was only like 3 of them working, plus maybe 2 cooks, but the food was definitely NOT it . No seasoning at all. I am a big seafood lover/eater and I was disappointed. Not to mention I went there for my 28th birthday celebration. There was barely anyone there, but my girls and I still decided to eat there and well...the drinks and service was the only good thing about this visit. No one should ever pay that much for food that's not good and I really think Joe's don't understand what a Crab boil/bag/steampot is because what I ordered was a joke. It was barely hot and my pot was cold as if it was just sitting back there somewhere. Where was the steam from the pot???

Not worth the money. Our food was cold when it came out and the chips that came with the crab dip appetizer were stale and rubbery. Kind of disappointing after hearing great things about this location. Our server Katie was great though and she did a good job making sure our drinks were full, plus she was very friendly! Sad to say, we will not be returning. :(

Super disappointed...food was terrible.....I will never go there again...please don't waste your money here. I have had better bar food ....I wish I chose definitely....
