Editorial Review for Joe's Crab Shack – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Admittedly kitschy, unavoidably noisy, this Red Lobster for rug rats is like an oversized seaside shanty awash in oceanic memorabilia--fishing nets, souvenir trinkets, plastic flotsam and jetsam. Staffed with a lively crew of G-rated table-dancing servers, the family-friendly chain anchors its menu in all things crab: Crab balls, crab cakes, crab dip, crab gumbo. Finicky children opt for corndogs or hamburgers; shellfish-phobic adults dine on rib eye steak or mesquite-grilled chicken.

Right on the edge of Lake Ponchatrain, Joe's is a chain, to be sure...but they have fresh (and I do mean fresh) fried crawfish here. Delivered in a little cone, you can just munch on those all night. Sunsets here are unbeatable.

The food here is average to above average. If you want a party atmosphere with very nice views of the lake, this is your place. Service was good.
Pros: location, parking
