Joe's Crab Shack

"I brought my girl here because we loved the last visit. This time, the food was probably just as decent as last time. Service was decent. The view has been ruined since our last visit. I assume Ian is to blame. The wall of windows used to show a marina full of beautiful boats. Now it's a ruined marina, a few sunken boats, and the dilapidated lots next door. I hope this place manages to survive and thrive for the sake of the people working here."

"Came in with my girlfriend last week and they were busy. We understand. We’ve been there before. The service was bad, the food was made wrong, the management was terrible. But we gave him a second chance. We talked to the GM he had us come in a second time. This is the only reason why you’re getting a review. We came in the second time, and once again, everything was wrong, and the service was terrible. The server was completely overwhelmed. The food was made completely wrong AGAIN! When the manager came by to visit and asked if everything was OK, what was I really going to say? I gave him a second chance, and they completely ruined it. They had this problem before the hurricane. They put a lot of money in the store to get it up and running again. But it looks like it will fall into shambles again. i’ve been here for 20 years. They were only good 20 years ago."

"A find for us on a side trip back from RSW. Took exit to Palm Beach in Ft Myers. Headed toward water & discovered this restaurant. Reopened with a view of the water. Welcomed by Drew, the manager & seated at a table near open sliding windows for full look out over water. Waitress arrived quickly to ask for drinks. She returned with freshly made coffee. Orders taken with a request for a side replacement. Which chef said no to but offered alternatives. Food order was out in a reasonable time. Appeared delicious and tasted very good. Fried seafood was crispy but not overcooked & hot. All in all, it was an excellent experience and we will return"

"Great little restaurant on the water. Good selection of seafood. Would have been 5, but my Mahi Mahi was not fresh. Crab was great, enjoyed the fancy bib. Kevin was a great server. Not too intrusive, but there when you needed him. Will go back next time in Fort Myers."

"It deserves 5 stars based on the water view, and having Adam for a server. He was so great and attentive and every staff member was smiling and friendly. The crab legs were average. But the atmosphere is worth the stop!"
