This is such a cute little lakeside spot. It has a very Florida feel. They have a great menu with a tons of seafood to choose from. Anywhere I can get raw oysters on the half shell I'm all for! Jade is the BEST server. Tons of energy, attentive, and welcoming. We get excellent service everytime we go, but we are always happy to have her. The drink menu is fantastic. Tons of fun fruity beach drinks, plenty of local and domestic beers to choose from. This is a solid spot for grabbing a drink or having a date.
Great! Got us in quick, service was nice and food was fresh! Spicy margarita was amazing!
I just love this type of atmosphere. Boats all around outside views. Normally the food is not up to par with this type of atmosphere, but i have to say I got the crab pot with King crab and Snow crab. They were very well seasoned and tasted amazing, the corn on the cob was perfectly cooked. The potatoes were ok, just a little bland? The service is pretty decent, but I did have to ask for some more butter waitress really didn't check up on me,. She was very attentive and informative when placing my order. I received my food quickly, and it was very hot and fresh.
Visited Crabby Joe's with family and we had a group of eight. We were seated within 15 minutes and while we waited, we walked around outside. The scenery here is nice with boats and Lake Erie. Upon being seated, our drink requests were taken. I went with a pitcher of sangria, which I shared with my cousin. It was pretty tasty. Looking at the menu, I realized they had fresh perch and walleye. Those are pretty common in these parts. Since the fish was fresh from Lake Erie, I went ahead and requested the perch dinner. My cousin requested the perch/walleye combo. We also requested some appetizers. Twenty minutes later, our food arrived. The crab fries were delicious. I'd recommend those to anyone and will order again next time we visit. The mozzarella sticks were just okay, but the wasabi bites were yummy. My perch was fresh, but just okay in flavor. My cousin gave me a piece of his walleye and it was so much larger, flakier, and tastier than the perch. Next time, I'll just order the walleye dinner. Our waitress was funny and friendly. We will definitely be back.
Good food and fresh perch sliders were delicious. Chicken quesadilla also very good. My son got the kids pizza which came out hot and tasty. Service was good but server was a bit curt and grumpy. She was in a hurry and while it was steady, it was not slammed for 1:00pm on a Friday. ...is that why they call Crabby Joe's? (It's not - other host and an assistant who helped with drinks were both very cheerful). Good food, maybe just a bad day for our server. Good views of boats coming in and the edge of Catawba Island in the distance. Give it a try on a nice day and sit outside. You really can't go wrong with the perch sliders!!
