Joe’s Crab Shack…



Everyone who knows me, knows I’m a big fan of crabs (haha, yuck it up). I have had crab night at my house at least once a week for about a year straight before I moved to the west coast. I would buy a couple of pounds, steam them up, melt some butter, add my “old bay”, slice up some lemons, and crab night just wouldn't be perfect without a EK margarita.
Upon my stay in Southern California, I found this place that helped me fulfill my desire for the sweet deliciousness that comes from cracking into these wonderful creatures. Once you start eating these things, the juice starts dripping up and down your hands and arms. You begin to struggle like a savage to get into every nook and cranny of each leg, just to make sure you leave nothing behind. There’s no stopping you, and mixed with a great margarita it almost sends you into a state of euphoria.
Joe’s crab shack provides you with tons of legs made to your liking, butter, garlic, or even barbecued. Along with a great atmosphere, huge margaritas of different flavors, and a staff of beautiful people that like a Johnny Rockets, stop to dance and get the party started while you eat and drink the night away. They cater to families with kids as well, making balloon hats for them, and tee shirts with all of Joe’s favorite sayings. It’s kind of commercialized like any TGI Fridays or Applebee’s, yet not as frequently seen. Yet a great place to get down and dirty, shelling it up with some friends and music, Joe’s is nothing but a good time. I was poking around on the web today and to my surprise we too have a Joe’s right here in NJ. Set in Lawrenceville, on US Route One, I think I’m itchin’ for a road trip come this spring, could be a fun Saturday or Sunday.
Post up if your interested, and remember… Eat at Joe’s !!!
