Lunch at Joe's

If there are 2 types of food I really like they are steak and seafood! So when I go out to eat its either to a steak or seafood place. The other day Ashley and I went to Joe’s Crab Shack. Surprisingly there are only 2 in Pittsburgh! The next closest one is in Columbus Ohio! And both of the Joes Crab Shack’s that are here are relatively new. As the name says Joe’s specializes in crab! We went for lunch, because Joe’s gets crazy a night, the last time we were there we had to wait for over an hour!

So after looking at the menu we both decided on the Crab Daddy Feast, which is has Snow, Dungeness, and King crab, along with potatoes, and corn on the cob. They bring it all to you in a big bucket, it is really cool and gives you the feel like you are at the beach. This is cool because as I said the weather around here has not been the best.

Also on the table is another bucket for you to put all of your shells on. On each of the tables there is a hole in the center where the bucket goes, but we sat at a booth so the bucket was at the end of the table. Overall I thought the food was very good. It was nice to get 3 different types of crab. A lot of places you go don’t have meals that have mixed crab, its either snow or king crab. Also surprisingly the Dungeness crab had a great taste to it. Each of the Crab Daddy Feast’s was $21.99, not a bad price. Going to Joe’s really got my mind off the crappy weather!

Looked delicious! I’m not a huge fan of crab, simply because I don’t like having to work hard to get my food ready to eat hah. The only exception to this is the peel-n-eat shrimp. It takes me forever to peel the damn things and I usually get tired of peeling them before I get full hah

Same here, lazy eater. Love the stuff but I hate having to crack through the shells to get to the meat. I like the places that crack the legs in half for me

I didn’t even know there was any Joe’s in the area. Any idea when they opened?

Joe’s big buckets! holy cow… good eating right there.

I have something similar place in my neighborhood but they don’t have wide arrange of fish or crabs. I guess depending on the season? http://www.icon.com/joes/Chicago_home.html

My back home in Alaska, we have this place called Humpys.
