Well Fed On the Town

Joe’s Crab Shack has some new menu and beverage items — just in time for summer.

“As we ease into summer, we are seeing more guests gather with family and friends at Joe’s to enjoy the patio seating, fresh seafood, ice cold beverages and fun in the sun,” said Matthew Dunn, Joe’s Crab Shack Executive Chef. “We are excited to debut the new menu and beverages because it reinforces our commitment to provide high quality food at a great value.”

Here are the new items (with descriptions from Joe’s Crab Shack):

• Crab Nachos — Joe’s has crossed the border with our take on nachos. Tortilla chips piled high and topped with loads of crab, pico de gallo, cheese and black bean corn relish.
• Craveable Crab Cake — With several shakes of Old Bay(R) Seasoning, this made-from-scratch crab cake contains quite a kick. Served with remoulade sauce and tangy slaw.
• Seafood Fun-do — Take a dip into this creamy fondue filled with shrimp, crawfish and spinach topped with sauteed mushrooms and breadcrumbs. Served with garlic bread for dipping, this fondue is fun to do!
• Mussels Marinara — Sophisticated yet slightly sloppy. A steaming bucket of mussels in a spicy marinara sauce sprinkled with Parmesan and Romano cheese. Served with garlic bread.
• 12oz. Ribeye — Juicy steak grilled just the way you want with a side of cheesy new potatoes.
• Steampot for 2 — This is no drop in the bucket. Our classic steampot for 2! Includes tasty Dungeness crab, sweet Snow crab, boiled shrimp, smoked sausage, new potatoes and corn on the cob.
• Spicy Boil Flavor — Spiced up and smokin’ hot! This flavor adds some heat to Joe’s steampot or to any crab in a bucket.
• East Coast Platter — Crispy, golden fish and chips, crab stuffed shrimp and made-from-scratch crab cake. Served with onion strings.
• Bayou’s Best Platter — Blackened tilapia topped with etouffee, golden fried shrimp, Bayou BBQ shrimp and hushpuppies.

New beverages have also been added to complement the food. “We are taking some of the hottest beverage flavor profiles like pomegranate, combining it with something traditional like a margarita and then tossing in a signature Joe’s touch,” said Jason Passmore, Joe’s Crab Shack’s Beverage Manager. “The new drinks offer customers a surprisingly refreshing and delectable drink just in time to beat the summer heat.”
