Joe's Crab Shack - Pittsburgh

Fish and chips is great with 3 big pieces of fish. Cajun steampot price is higher, taste good and worth a try. Calamari in sampler is good, but foundu and chips are so so. Great view eating outdoor. Price is about $30 per person.

We had a great time but you pay for the experience, not the food. We got steam pots which are always fun but all the seafood was overcooked. I'd still go back because it was just a fun dinner.

It's... Food. My partner and I had not been to a Joe's Crab Shack in quite some time. This location does not live up to the hype you have in your head. The staff was great. They'd get 5 stars. But, the food was lackluster to say the least. I ordered shrimp in 3 varieties. The bacon wrapped shrimp was charred and the other 2 had no distinguishable flavor. My husband's fish tacos did not come as represented in the menu. The portion sizes were out of control. Each meal would have been enough for 3 people. Sadly dessert was no better. Gigantic portions and far too sweet. I barely took 4 bites. We likely will not return. But, again, staff was FANTASTIC!

Went here on Saturday. Made a special trip to Pittsburgh so we could have some good seafood. Our waitress was so very friendly!! We started with the crab dip and it was amazing. Writing this review 3 days later, it’s making my mouth water! My husband got queen crab boil with an extra queen cluster, I got snow crab boil our son got the shrimp sampler. The shrimp sampler was good. My crab was amazing. The potatoes corn I got in mine were okay… but my husbands was better because his boil had sausage in it as well it was such good sausage! Husband said the queen crab wasn’t worth the price difference in the snow crab. We spent around $180 for three dinners, an appetizer 3 drinks. The stand out for me- the sausage the crab dip by far.

Always my favorite lunch spot with hubs ever since VA Beach in 2012 Great experience on the deck it was pouring and still a great lunch. Pittsburgh has some awesome views. Amazing staff
