Is Joe's Crab Shack the Best Chain Seafood Restaurant?

🦞 Joe's Crab Shack (Part 2): Heavenly Shrimp, Sloppy Lob, & Dessert Scores 11 out of 10 🦞

After diving into the shady past of Joe's Crab Shack, it was finally time to eat. In this episode, I head to the Disney-adjacent location with friend and podcast voiceover contributor Sandy Rose to see if the crab still holds up. From shockingly great coconut shrimp to a fish filet that straight-up betrayed us, we cover every bite, every bathroom handle, and every s'more-stained moment in our quest to determine if Joe's is truly the perfectly mediocre restaurant.

Is Joe's Crab Shack a crustacean celebration? Or just chaos in a cowboy hat?
