Cajun Steam Pot

Came here with my hubby for date night and we both ordered the king crab seafood boil. The crab was delicious, the potatoes and corn were cooked perfectly. We sat by the bar so service was friendly and fast. The crab was so flavorful and you get a generous amount for the price. I would keep coming back.

Our Awesome Waiter
Lesli S.

We were greeted at the door with genuine smiles. Our waiter was awesome and the manager even came over to welcome us and say hello. My husband and I shared the Crab stuffed mushrooms and the Crab Daddy Feast. Everything tasted fresh and was absolutely delicious. My husband had a beer and I a Diet Coke and Vodka, and they were not shy with the Vodka. The restaurant had the nautical feel and the music was thumpin'.. it wasn't just me, but I noticed other patrons dancing in their seats too. May have been the music, may have been the food, may have been both. Either way, it was worth the 40 minute drive!

The atmosphere was great- we sat on the patio for the kids play area. The weather was perfect and had a quiet evening. The food was Delicious and everyone loved their dinner. The waitress was what we believe busy, because she would leave and not return for awhile. We had to ask for refills several times and it took her quite some time to come back. She was friendly, but like we said we think she was busy. Unfortunately we didn't confirm that.

The food was great! Better than I was expecting when I saw it had 3 stars. If you're looking to dabble in seafood, this is a good option. Our waiter was extremely helpful, cracking jokes with us and having fun. (He even put on the Cowboys game for us!) The only thing I didn't like was the suggestive images of woman throughout the restaurant.

The food was good but the service was a little slow. I remember going to Joe's Crab Shack in Georgia. But they're all gone now. Typical family style restaurant.

Shark Nibble drink. The "blood" (grenadine) is in a test tube in the sharks mouth when it arrives.

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!!! We came here tonight for my kids birthday party. She's quite shy but we still wanted to have the goofy birthday experience that we had growing up (coming to Joe's Crab shack for birthday celebrations has become a tradition in our family). Well, they sure did it! Our server, Jose, was amazing, friendly, checked on us often, made sure we had what we needed, and answered all our questions with a smile. He made us feel super welcome and well taken care of. I wish we could have tipped him more. Then a whole bunch of crew members came out to do the birthday celebration with our kid, who was thoroughly entertained & embarrassed, as we had wanted, haha. And the food was stellar, which has always been the case in the past when we came here so I expected nothing less. Overall this was a fantastic pending to an important birthday and left our whole family feeling wonderful. 10/10, highly recommend, and thank you so much to Jose and the amazing crew of this Joe's Crab Shack! Sidenote: Every time we go here we always get the Great Balls of Fire, the painted crab dessert and the "Shark Nibble" drink, all of which are 100% worth getting every time. The dessert and the drink are a huge crowd pleaser with the kids. They're super cute and fun, very affordably priced, and something we personally haven't seen at any other restaurant.

My daughter wanted crab for her birthday. She chose Joes Crab Shack and I'm so glad that we went. The food was AMAZING, just like I remember. Our waiter was so kind. Even the manager stopped by our table for a chit chat. He made it extra special when he learned that it was my daughter's 19th birthday and gave her Joes swag and a signed birthday card from the staff. All in all we had an awesome time and we'll definitely be back soon!!

Supposedly a crab cake

$14.99 for this "crab cake." I was shocked when I opened the bag and saw this. What an insult. And it was gross. I threw the entire thing away. Also, Joe's charges a $1.97 pick up fee. Seriously, a fee for ordering and picking up? I will NEVER be back.

Joes signature wall of ocean side goods with tvs !

Daishia did a fantastic job of recommending what we should order It was perfect- the grilled seafood platter of lobster crab shrimp and more bacon wrapped shrimp The manager came over as well checking on us A fantastic escape from our house Easy access on and off the 35 We have been here 3 times each time it is a very good Joes Crab Shack !

Our server was amazing and the crab was exactly what I needed! The kids loved their Mac, pizza and fish and the mashed potatoes are the buttery goodness we wanted!

Everything always comes out incredibly fantastic!! Togo is…read morefabulous too!!! Great Togo staffs. Food Always comes out hot and always adjusted to minor changes or needs. Always bring a light jacket bc it's always super cold

We always have a good time at Saltgrass…read more My husband and I have come to love this location. The staff is incredibly friendly and the food comes out hot and timely. The atmosphere is both causal but romantic so we enjoy date nights here. For food we love starting off with the fried peppers and pickles, the range rattlers (jumbo jalapenos stuffed with a whole shrimp and jack cheese, and even the queso fresco. You honestly can't go wrong with any of the appetizers. My favorite thing to get is the house salad with honey mustard dressing, and sometimes I'll get the Homemade soup of the day and Salad as my entree because you can't go wrong! When I'm feeling for a steak I love getting the Pat's ribeye. It's the family favorite and the best part is that this location always cooks it to perfection. Medium is medium and we've never had any issues with the cook. If you haven't already, make room for dessert or even take it to go! The carrot cake is SO GOOD! We also really enjoy the pumpkin spice cheesecake when ever it's in season. We celebrate birthdays here or just date night and ended up signing up for the landry select club, I highly recommend signing up because the benefits are great

Okay hold the phone! I thought Japan House was crunk and the pimpest sushi place in the DFW area…read more(yes I still use 1999-2001 slang still) but there is a new baller in town. We went to Takara on a whim and it was the bomb diggity! Unlike other AYCE sushi restaurants that serve small portion appetizers, Takara is serving medium-large size appetizers that are much better quality than their competitors. I mean, a whole soft shell crab? Unagi Don with 4 huge eel steaks? A full 12 pieces of chicken karaage instead of a 3-4 piece serving? Who does that? Takara does that. Hamachi Kama (tuna collar) was unbelievable. The soups were great too. Oh and the takoyaki (my personal favorite) will knock your socks off. This being our first time at Takara, we were not prepared for the size and quality of the appetizers so we filled up on them before we could order much sushi. But we did order a few different nigiri, sashimi, hand rolls, and maki rolls. They were all very good but I feel like Takara's strength lies in their appetizer menu. We used to go out of our way to a different AYCE restaurant on our way home from the casinos in Oklahoma, but I think we found our new spot! The booths were large and comfortable. They have little cushions to sit on because the booths are hard wood with no padding. That was a nice touch. Our server was great but a little too apologetic. She kept apologizing even though we had no issues with the speed of service. We left a nice tip even though the robot server did a good portion of the work bringing us our orders. Like I said, we stumbled across a real gem right off of I-35 for a reasonable price and unexpected high quality of food and service. We will be back again soon!

I love the concept, however I was pretty disappointed with our experience. The food did not taste…read morenor look fresh. The service that we received was also not great. We will not be back.

I have left the Las Vegas area and moved back to Texas my home state. So tonight I was wanting some…read moreItalian food and while I was browsing the places around my new home I came across Luigi's. The menu looked pretty good and the reviews weren't bad so I decided to give it a try. The area I live in is near Ft Worth and Dallas. So between the two cities there are a bunch of littler cities giving the area around me quite a large amount of places to try. It's closer to Ft Worth but in Haltom City which is an old city that was a rival to my high school growing up. Since I have moved back, the old places are not so much a memory as the new places are unknown so I thought I'd give Luigi's an opportunity to impress so I ordered. Service was fairly decent and delivery time was good, about same as with other delivery times. I ordered Diavolo. It is Spaghetti sautéed in a spicy (3 levels of spice) light marinara sauce. Served with warm bread. I got medium spice but what I got was pepper flakes. I added sausages and there were two plumb sausages smothered in the marinara sauce and noodles. The food arrived as promised, within 40 minutes and was still very warm, burned my fingers and my tongue! I had also ordered extra cheesy bread, it too arrived very warm and the cheese the kind that's good and yummy. To top it all off I ordered a turtle cheese cake. Cheese cake topped with pecans and drizzled with Carmel sauce. My meal was very good and I would definitely order again. It's really not too far and would be worth a sit down meal based on what I have ordered today.

This was the absolute WORSE Eggplant Parmigiana that I have EVER had! This was completely…read moredisgusting!!!! The huge clump of cheese on top was burned so badly, that it was like cement and whatever slivers of eggplant that may have been in the dish were completely disintegrated. I have never had something so awful and will never order from this place again. (See pictures and video below) The cheese sticks were cold and the breading was soft and soggy. . . . . TERRIBLE MEAL
