Went out to dinner with coworkers. The food was great and our server was very attentive. Not sure what happened when the others that dined here came, but the food and service was exactly what I expected from my experience with this and other Joe's Crab Shack's. More

I have been to many Joe's Crab Shacks. I enjoy the food, the decor, the fun line dance the staff do from time to time. But at this location I was really irritated. We went as a family and the waitress comes over and sits down in our booth to write down our order?! We were all really put off... More

I have never been to a Joe's Crab Shack so my husband and I went after church a few weeks ago. He has lived in Fayetteville before due to being in the military, and has been to this one before. His experience apparently wasn't very good because, as he'd put it they gave him child-like portions and he didn't feel... More

Our waiter was really good, really knew the menu, didn't write anything down, everything came out just as we asked. Just wish it was a bit cheaper. More

We ate lunch there on Father's Day in June, 2009. I had the crab cakes, which were the best I've ever eaten. It's so good, you really don't even need the sauce. The servings are more than generous. We also had the sampler appetizer platter. Even the chicken is fabulous. Some people mentioned rude wait staff, but I want to... More

Wow! This place is filthy. I wish they had a HAZMAT wash down station upon leaving. The staff is only there to earn a paycheck. No visible management on the floor. I looked at the menu and felt the sticky table. I could not bring myself to order anything. The wait staff was doing some sort of dance and chant... More
