Joe's Crab Shack - Garden Grove

The experience was absolutely perfect. The evening was fantastic and the food tasted great. The waiter was attentive and we were very pleased.

We're just here and we won't be back. service was friendly but very slow. my daughter steak are completely finished, we sent it back and when they got it back, we were all done. they have not taken it out of the bill that is completely unacceptable. server was nikki. we will not be back, not the $100 bill for an average meal and very bad service worth

Definitely a place where the food looks good but the taste was almost bland.Presentation, as expected was marvelous.I had to ask if they even salt the water, and they don't. If you want the meat to have any flavor, ask for the garlic butter bath.Still paid full price for them to put it back in the pot and overcook it some more.Ordered a shrimp sampler, stuffed mushrooms, and an Atlantic steamer pot.Mushrooms could have had a few more minutes, the breading was mush.The Steamer pot had corn that was undercooked, shrimp and lobster was overcooked, and the crab was perfect. The potatoes and sausage were not appetizing.Our waiter didn't come to check on us to see if the food was okay, if we needed refills on our beverages, but instead went straight to seeing if I needed the manager when things went wrong. I had to go up to him, as he asked everyone around my son and I if they were good, how was their food and if they'd like refills.Decent food, respectable staff but very poor experience overall.Been going to Joe's Crab Shacks all over the country and by far this was the worst.Sad because it was a late celebration for my birthday.

The experience at this restaurant was fantastic. There was no wait time, the food came out quickly and tasted delicious. We decided to try their steamed crab with potatoes, shrimp, and corn, and it was delicious with great presentation and worth the price. It was also fun to crack open the shells and use the tools provided. For those who don't like seafood, there are plenty of other options to choose from. One member of our party ordered a juicy burger, while another tried the penne chicken alfredo, which was a bit heavy on the cheese for some tastes. The specialty drinks were excellent, with just the right amount of alcohol. The only negative was the garlic butter, which was good but could use more flavor. The restaurant had ample parking, clean bathrooms, and a very friendly staff. Our server, Jessica, was amazing and attentive. Overall, it was a great experience with good food.

Our experience was fantastic. We ordered a combination plate and everything on it was delicious. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was great. We started off wearing masks at our table but felt comfortable taking them off as it was clear that the restaurant was very clean and a safe place to dine.
