Reviews for Joe's Crab Shack in Oceanside, CA
Parking was horrible. Had to park a good distance away from the restaurant and had to pay the parking meter. That was... disappointing! Food was great! Staff was great! First experience at this place and I have to say I was super impressed. We wereable to get an amazing table as well. Read more
Honestly, I wasn't impressed by the food. I ordered the East Coast Platter which was good, but I expected great. But the Clam... Chowder was absolutely amazing! It was flavorful with lots of pieces of clams. My Daughter had the coconut shrimp which is nowhere near as tasty as Red Lobster's. I also ordered an $11 piece of chocolate cake which was worth every penny, plus the slicewas huge! The 4 star rating was mostly due to the service. Jesse was fantastic!! He eas attentive to our party of nine, andanswered every question we had. Overall it was not a bad experience. Read more
Ate lunch for the first time. The restaurant is spacious and has a large bar area. We had a view of the harbor. Our server... was very friendly and attentive. I am a seafood lover and enjoyed my steamed combo shrimp, mussels, and clams. It was freshtasting. My husband had the combo seafood platter. The portions were large. Read more

The reason for my low rating would have to be because of the food. It was not wow or spectacular. It was actually very basic and... the peel n eat shrimp was super bland. We waited over 25 min for food and it was delicious. It was mediocre. I do appreciate thelocation the view is very nice. But not worth the high priced food that is mediocre. Read more
The food was good. Customer service was awesome. We had to send our food back due to temperature. They took care of it no... problems.. The Snow Crab meal bucket in the attachment was $40. A little pricey for crab clusters that are missing legs. Theviews are amazing. You can see the boats, pier, and ocean from your table. The restaurant itself is very eccentric. Read more
I hadn’t been to a Joe’s Crab Shack before and I wasn’t disappointed coming here! The food here was excellent and you... really do get a good bang for your Buck. The waitstaff was very nice and quick helping with suggestions. I would recommendcoming here for a nice dinner as well. Make sure to make reservations as most of the time they are filled up here.

The view from our small table in the corner by the bar was great. Hubby and I went for date night and we had 2 cocktails each... and sampler platter and a the captains steamer basket. Seafood was good but a little salty. Don't forget to ask for lemon ????.The bartender was great and doubled as our server since we were in his section. Overall we spent about $150 and had a greattime. Plus I got to keep my cute pint glass. Read more
