When I went to the restaurant, I was not expecting to have a nice peaceful meal. I was looking to have fun and drink with my friends while eating. I think the food is great and the staff is awsome. Plus they have great beer prices.

We went to Joe's recently for my son's 12th birthday (his choice). I called ahead to see if they would do anything special for him and they said, "Oh, sure, just tell your waiter." Well, the special thing they did was hand him a dessert menu (no prices listed) at the end of the meal, and tell him to "Pick anything!" He picked a sundae. Weren't we surprised to find an $8.00 charge for the sundae on the bill! How generous! When we questioned the charge, they brought the manager over. Now it is really getting festive! He offered to "split the cost with us." Needless to say they have lost our business. by ChefMoz.org
I ate at a Joe's Crab Shack in Houston years ago and really enjoyed it, so I was excited when it opened in the Rio plaza. I couldn't have been more disappointed when I saw huge lines, and once I got in, it was really not worth it. It was one of the loudest restaurants I'd ever been in. The wait staff would periodically have to do a silly dance when certain songs were played, and they did not look like they were enjoying it one bit. The food itself was about the quality of Red Lobster (I would expect better in an east coast city that knows from fresh seafood!), as everything seemed to be served swimming in butter. I will never be returning to this place by ChefMoz.org

Fun place, but ran out of the free glasses...by Scott R.
Our server was terrible :( not one of the employees smiled, the food tasted like it had been cooked in cleaning supplies, & they said 15 mins to seat us but it took almost an hour. Eat at CPK insteadby Amanda G.
