Joe's Crab Shack has been in business since 1991 and opened its first restaurant in Texas. It is now a national chain of restaurants that offers seafood dishes in a relaxed dinning setting. It offers steampot dishes that combine seafood combinations such as crab and shrimp with vegetables of corn and potatoes. In addition to seafood, chicken and steak dishes are also available. There is a store connected to the restaurant that sells Joe's items such as T-shirts, hats and shot glasses. Its menu is downloadable from the website.
