    Awesome ambiance on the water, river boat feel, classy dining rooms and bar! Hit three courses consisting of the fried alligator bites served with Dijon cream sauce, followed by the coastal seafood pasta with shrimp, scallops, mussels, tomatoes, mushrooms, and a creamy garlic-herb sauce, and finished with the cinnamon bread pudding à la mode with Foster sauce, vanilla sauce, and vanilla ice cream. Looking forward to exploring more of the menu and the excellent service!!

    We treated the entire family to Joe's Crab Shack in Corpus Christi and had a fantastic time! We absolutely love the fun, laid-back atmosphere. It is so accommodating for families—the kids were thrilled to order fun virgin drinks, and the kids' menu crab boil was a massive hit with both the kids and the parents. A perfect spot for a family seafood dinner!
