  • In today's video, we head to Daytona Beach to celebrate Alex’s mom’s birthday and we all decided it would be a good idea to do the Joe’s Crab Shack on the pier in Dayton Beach, Florida. We have been to several Joe’s Crab Shack but none in Florida so we thought we would do a review at one of the most famous one. There are a lot of restaurants in Daytona Beach but with Joe’s Crab Shack being on the pier, it’s very easy to spot. It was still pretty crowded for it being off season. The restaurant itself is pretty neat and they have a good menu. The food, however, ended up being disappointing. The salmon was raw. Unfortunately, they only thing they offered was to recook it but after you have been around some raw salmon, the last thing you want is more salmon. The chowder was pretty good and the rest of the entrees were good but for a seafood restaurant right on the ocean, it definitely could have been better. There are other seafood places around that have much better food. It also took some time so just know that if you are going there. Overall, we had fun celebrating the birthday but now we know that we would choose another restaurant in Daytona Beach, Florida.
    Stay tuned for another video coming soon. Thanks so much for watching! God Bless!!!

    The pier used to have a local restaurant and it was so good. The pier was destroyed in a hurricane and rebuilt. That is when they built Joe’s Crab Shack. I have eaten there only once and it was overpriced. There are lots of great restaurants in Daytona Beach and Ponce Inlet. The Roof is a rooftop bar.

    I totally agree the salmon looked quite undercooked. I guess they feel they could get away with it because of their location on the water in Daytona Beach but wrong! Just keep spreading the word.

    • @thealtemlife

      Yeah it seems like they think since they have that location, it doesn’t matter what experience the customer has. Wouldn’t go back!

    No Blue Crab..a common crab here? There was a Joe's Crab Shack in Orlando. Prices were high years ago. Glad you didn't have to deal with embarrassing dance routine the waiters and waitresses were forced to do!
    I hope Lee & Rick's Oyster Bar is still open off Old Winter Garden Road. That's an old fashioned place for seafood/oysters! 👍🏻

    Funny, we just visited Daytona Beach for the first time a couple weeks ago and walked up to that Boardwalk. Thanks for the review as I will look for other places to eat. We did try 2 places across from the Daytona Speedway. First PF Changs and that is always good. Later on we tried 4 Rivers BBQ Smokehouse and that was very good. They are going to open one in Middleton, The Villages in about a year, so it was great to try it. Very good!

    Recently found your channel and have been binge watching episodes. Thus far the German restaurant is by far my favorite, wow that food looked awesome and even though I'm not a huge desert guy that desert there was nuts looking. I have found that Joe's is a gimmicky over priced tourist trap with so so food at best. Much prefer the "mom and pop" restaurants

    The good lady and myself ate at the Joe's on 192 at kissimmee , she ordered the mussels, about half of them were undercooked and unopened, not impressed!! We wouldn't be in a hurry to eat at Joe's anytime soon.
    I know Alex that you are not the sort of chap to kick up a fuss, but I wouldn't have let them away for serving undercooked salmon!!! Would have demanded it ge removed from the bill(check)

    Salmon is not supposed to be well done. The slimy texture you noted is more likely from the fish not being fresh rather then being underdone. My favorite salmon is super fresh sashimi grade salmon served raw in a good Japanese restaurant.

    The salmon wasn't raw. That's the way it should be cooked. You may not like it that way but its not supposed to be well done and dried out. Tuna is cooked similary when done right.

    “Joe’s” abysmal handling of your undercooked salmon is inexcusable for any restaurant that wants a satisfied customer who will return and tell her friends.
    IF “Joe’s” revenue comes mostly from tourist dollars, the immediate sale is the only thing that matters. And that is a shame, because “Joe “couldn’t ask for four nicer people than you folks and your mom and dad.
    P.S. had you agreed to send that salmon back, it would’ve gone right into a microwave oven!!
