Review: We recently visited this restaurant and were somewhat surprised at the amount of food that was served for the money. It was very disappointing since there are so many good restaurants in the Myrtle Beach area that give a hearty portion of food for the dollar spent. Most plates are less money than we spent at Joe's. I will certainly not go back and will mention to friends that the value is just not there. The restaurant was the one at Broadway at the Beach..

Review: My Wife and I have been going to Myrtle beach for the past five years. We went to Joe's the first year and been coming back everytime, The Fishermans Platter is great, it's hard to finish, Try it I don't think you will go wrong.

Review: My family and I have been comming to Myrtle Beach for 30 years now and out of all the places that we have eaten Joes Crab Shack is our favorite. The staff that they hire are always very cheerful and helpful. The atmosphere is wonderful. One of our favorite meals is the coconut shrimp. And we have had the same meal at other resturants and none compare. Thanks Joes!! See you this September.

Review: While Joe's Crab Shacks are all over the country the one at Barefoot is great because it sits on the water. We go to this Joe's year after year and enjoy good food and times. Fun for kids!

Review: Was in Myrtle Beach for the first time this September and Joes Crab Shack was the first restuarant I went to for lunch. The clam chowder was very good and the fried calamari was the best I've ever had (I've eaten in many, many times in various restaurants all over the East Coast). It was tender and not greasy at all. Would definitely eat here again next time I visit the area.

Review: We ordered the calabash/popcorn shrimp, and it seemed that it was frozen. Almost as if it was something that you got from a Morton's Fish box in the frozen foods section of your grocer. I was very surprised that in Myrtle Beach that a restaruant would try to serve calabash shrimp that was so poor and try and get away with it. Location and atmosphere can only go so far.

Review: We went in a bit early for lunch (11:45). Waited long for seating. Poor service at the table also, even though the restaurant was not yet busy (new server). Waited an extrordinary long time to be served. Greasy fried food, no vegtable options at lunch. We have had better fish and chips at Long John Silvers! Then, we were overcharged for lunch menu items (probably new server error), which was corrected.

Good thing we were not in a hurry!

Review: I eat at Joe's in Houston all the time. Love the place!! Servers are always friendly and food is always hot. There is always live entertainment on Friday nights. One time it was a magician who came to each table and did a few tricks. Sometimes it's the balloon guy who makes things from balloons. Once, the entire staff performed a dance to the song "CARWASH" Really a COOL place!!

EVERYBODY visit Joe's on Richmond in Houston!!!

Review: Went here with family hoping to get great seafood on our vacation- was extremely dissappointed. Actually the food was average but our service was honestly the worst ever. We saw our waiter once- when he took our order- then never again. Someone else had to bring our food out and then we had to practically beg other waitresses when we needed refills or condiments, etc. Then it took at least 15 min. to get our check- only after speaking to a manager. If you expect good service-go somewhere else!

Review: Food at Joe's was average. Great waitstaff. Be prepared to wait during vacation months at dinner time. Fun for kids to feed the fish, gators and other water creatures if you dine outside. As with all Myrtle Beach restaurants, food was overpriced.

Review: We went there for our first night in Myrtle Beach hoping to get some good seafood. We live in Charlotte but moved there from CT where we were able to get fresh seafood which was wonderful..Joe's was not wonderful nor was it really fresh. I got the seafood platter and the scallops were the tiny ones which were way overcooked and the fish was inedible and very fishy smelling. I don't know what they use for batter but it was dull and tasteless. The crab dip was good, not great. My daughter loved feeding the turtles and carp during dinner. For 2 entrees, 1 appetizer, 1 beer and a kids meal it was $65 which was way overpriced for the quality. I was very disappointed!

Review: We love the food at Joe's Crab Shack! It is truely delicious. The service leaves something to be desired. The staff needs to spend more time tending to the paying customers and less time forming a conga line and dancing around the restaurant. We understand that it is all in fun, BUT after you wait to get in, wait to get something to drink, and then wait for your server to stop dancing so you can get your food, or a refill, or anything for that matter, it tends to just get a little annoying after a while. The last time we were there, they danced around the restaurant 6 times. That's a little much! Great food though!

Review: If you are in the mood to kick back, relax and have some fun while eating GREAT food, then Joe's is the place for you! If you can get a table outside on a nice evening that makes it even better.
