Build a tacky shack, make it look like a Gulf fishing village, serve up some crabs, and people will come. The formula works -- since the first Joe's hit Houston, Crab Shacks have popped up all over the country. Menu offerings focus on seafood, crab being king. Simple, tasty choices include steamed crabs, broiled fish and Dungeness crab dinner, crab cakes, popcorn shrimp and thick clam chowder. Enjoy it all with a Tie Dye, a wild, two-foot tall frozen drink, and be sure to save room for Key lime pie. less

The crab legs are the VERY BEST I have ever eaten. Very exspensize and small portions for the price but the flavor of their crab legs were well worth it. The atmosphere is kind of diferent. Its very loud and crowded with a very long wait but its right by the docks and the decor gives it quite alot of character. Its a fun place to eat and its a place you can take your kids. less

I find it hard to pay $20.00 per person to get food on paper plates and sit on picnic tables. It is a tourist place that does a lot of business because of the location. There are many other restaurants that have high quality seafood with a view and tableclothes. The food is fresh, therefore it's good. less

A fun place to eat at. Service is by young happy people who are very friendly and talkative. View of ocean is outstanding. All sorts of interesting seafood and fish, served in some very inventive ways. Try the coconut shrimp. Quite good and varied menu. Atmospehere is cute but not luxurious, very laid back and filled with netting and signs of a whimsical nature. Not a quiet, or leisurely dining experience, but fun nevertheless. less
