Eat at Joe's

Recently, Joe’s Crab Shack offered me some gift cards to try out their new kids’ menu. Joe’s Live Well entrees offer healthy alternatives to typical restaurant kids’ meals, including grilled shrimp and crab legs with sides like celery sticks, rice, and corn-on-the-cob. Of course, they also have mac-n-cheese and pizza for those of us who have picky eaters (not naming any names, Brooklyn). You can check out their menus HERE. My kids are huge shrimp lovers so they loved their meals. I ordered pastalaya which has approximately a million calories, but it was so good! And it was huge, so I took half of it home and enjoyed it for lunch the next day.

The atmosphere at Joe’s is fun and friendly. It’s definitely a family restaurant. The one we visited, even had a play area outside for the little kids to explore while the rest of us finished our meals. They played bouncy 80s music, and it wasn't uncommon to see the waiters break out their dance moves throughout the evening.

As with any seafood restaurant, it’s on the pricey side so it’s not a place my family would frequent regularly, however it is a fun place at which to celebrate special occasions. Speaking of pricey, Joe’s Crab Shack is going to help out one family with that. I have a $50 gift card to give away to one lucky reader so you can check out their new kids’ menu yourself. And you’ve got to try their steampots! Huge pots packed full of deliciousness including different combinations of crab legs, scallops, mussels, clams, andouille sausage, corn-on-the-cob with your favorite seasonings. Check them out HERE! Yum-o!

Leave me a comment here, including a way to contact you, and I’ll choose a random winner on Monday, December 12. Good luck!

Contest open to U.S residents, age 18 and older.
Duplicate comments will be deleted.
Random winner will be selected on Monday, 12/12/11 and will be notifying shortly thereafter.
Winner will receive one $50 gift card for Joe’s Crab Shack. Find a location HERE.

I was given gift cards so that I could try out Joe’s Crab Shack myself.

    Joe's is awesome! I went to a Joe's in Delaware a few years ago and really enjoyed myself, but never went back. Now that I'm living in Texas and there is no real seafood down here, Joe's is the place to go. I went a few months back with my daughters and grandkids, and Joe's really catered to the kids. They even had crab shaped rice krispy treats that the kids painted with different colored sauces. It was great!We're still unemployed since our cross country move, and my husband hasn't had the opportunity to enjoy Joes, so a gift card would really help us out. Thanks! donnapinder@yahoo.com

    I had never tried much seafood and was determined I would hate it until I was pregnant wtih baby number 4. I woke up one morning when I was 6 months along and had a heck of a craving for crab legs. My husband insisted I didn't like seafood but eventually gave in and took me for some crab. I fell in love and can't imagine how many pounds of those yummy things I ate before Bridgette was born. She is now 9 and crab is a favorite food for both of us. YUMMY!!

    My family would love to eat at "The Shack!" I've always wanted to eat there but haven't had the chance.

    (Glad to know there are kids menus for picky eaters)

    My kids love seafood, but it's getting more and more expensive to feed them. A gift card would be awesome! Thanks for the giveaway.

    I love reading about your mis-adventures in parenting and how you handle the interesting situations. I know it's not all roses and moonlight, but your attitude and sense of humor are helping us all.

    thanks, Dawn.

    We love Joe's! Being from Delaware we are used to good seafood all the time and now that I'm in Texas, well Joe's is as close as we get.

    Is there anyway you can put me in touch with Donna P. who commented who is also from Delaware and now also in Texas? What a coincidence!

    Merry Christmas to you and the kids!

    Haven't been to a Joe's in a long time, due to the three young boys we have. Would love to take them out and eat over their holiday break.

    We have had a very difficult year, healthwise with several surgeries. On top of that we are losing our home due to high medical bills--it would be such a treat to win the gift card as we could actually go out and celebrate with our son for Christmas.

    I thought I had clicked publish for my comment, but I am not seeing it here (I've tried in Firefox, but it's not showing that it's published, so now I'm trying in Chrome). But, I would love to try Joe's Crab Shack. They have a gluten-free menu (my daughter and I both have to eat GF) and they just opened a location in my area!
