What's the big deal about Joe's Crab Shack? Now I'll admit I didn't go as a part of a big gang looking to party or anything like that, but I'm confused why it's such a huge brand.
The food was...ok. No big surprise that when you steam shrimp and potatoes, one of them will be waaaay overcooked when the other's finally ready (guess which). There was nothing special about any of it. Really disappointing when the highlight of the Crab Shack is the sausage.
And I have to at least mention the dancing. Sometimes they play a song and the waitstaff comes out and does, more or less, a line dance. It looks like some sort of torture. I don't think I've ever seen such misery of the face of dancers. Calling them dancers is generous, since it's clear it isn't dancing so much as moving while music is playing, there's clearly no passion or soul behind any of it. Even better, it appeared to me as though when there's a forced dancing ritual going on, nobody's getting served. Maybe they have runners bringing food out, but it looked to me like the whole restaurant stopped to watch the celebration of depression.
I'm not saying I hated it and I'm not saying I'll never go back. I am saying that it isn't on the top of my list of favorite eateries.
