  We came here for a crabby lunch date with our friend. I have only been to Joes once before and I was craving crabs. Love the decor with fun ocean inspired props hanging everywhere. Including a large shark. They give you bibs with a fun phrase or nickname under it.
  
  Prices are on the higher side but I will say I think the crabs are good quality and very delicous. I love how you can pick your flavor. We ordered and they were able to accommodate my allergy ridden boyfriend. Our food came out quickly and our server was great. He got a little busy towards the end when we needed things but understandable.
  
  My friend ordered the Crab Daddy Feast: Snow, Dungeness and King Crab. My boyfriend and I also ordered the feast but shared it. It's the priciest crab option but you get to try a little of everything and it's a lot of food. It comes with corn and potatoes. We ordered a side of rice for my boyfriend who cannot have corn. I found the corn to be very dry but the flavors were nice! Overall terrific food and I can't wait for next time. It's deffinently a special occasion for us because they are pricey but worth the money.

  So, when we pulled up in the parking lot and it was basically empty we should have known something wasn't right.
  Amanda refused to sit us a clean table right away because she claimed she had no servers for the table literally one step away, she didn't try to accommodate us what so ever.
  The artichoke dip was very watery not something I'm used to be still tasted good.
  What I really wanted to talk about what the pasta Alfredo. When it came out it was very dry, just butter and cheese no sauce, asked our very accommodating waiter Nelson to bring me some sauce which he did and it tasted like it came straight out of the bottle and into the microwave. I asked for it to be taken back.
  Expected the manager, Jason to come to the table and see if there was anything to do to make us happy but that did not happen. A few minutes later Amanda is sitting at the bar table next to us eating with her family.
  
  Overall our experience was not the best, maybe even the worst, between what's going on with the staff (again our waiter Nelson was very accommodating) and in the kitchen it's not worth the pay or the time. If you appreciate food, good food, go to submarine crab or something of that caliber! A buffet would probably be just as good or even better!

  Joe's was a ok experience at best. The food took about an hour to get to the table. The server was super busy working tables and making drinks at the bar.
  
  Beside that the food did have good flavor and seasoned well. I would give it another chance because honestly its a fun atmosphere and great for the family.
  
  They have a large amount of drinks and fun delicious dishes to choose from. The location was clean and the decor along with the staff dancing was cool.

  This is the Joe's in Kissimmee near Publix.  I have eaten at Joe's before but it's been a while.  I decided to give this location a try since I was in the area.  Walking in, I was seatly relatively quickly. Our waiter was nice enough and the food was okay-not great, but not bad either.  The drinks were good.  
  
  I am a Landry's Club member and identified myself as such (to earn points).  I used the app to give my membership number (although I usually just give my cell number and they pull it up).  In general, once you identify yourself as a LSC member, a manager comes out at the end and asks about your service and how the food was.  This manager asked to see my identification.  I was taken aback by this request and asked him why I had to show id. He stated that since I used the app instead of my card, they needed to verify my identify....for 20 points? Really???  In over 3 years as a member, I have never had to show my id.  This Joe's gets the dumb manager of the day award.  I would never come back here again.  There was nothing spectacular enough to come back for.

  This was our first visit to this location and it was great!
  
  It was my daughter's birthday, she wanted crab legs and chose to go to Joe's. We selected this location because we were coming from Magic Kingdom & Celebration was more on our route than Orange Lake.
  
  We definitely made the right decision!
  
  It is a small location but, has a great "vibe". We enjoyed the music from the minute we walked in. Nothing like old music to make you smile  
  
  Our server was Jared and he was awesome. He gave great advice on what to order, thoroughly explained everything, happily answered any questions we had, was extremely attentive, thought of everything we needed before we did, had a great personality & set up the funniest birthday surprise for my daughter! It was awesome. (She was embarrassed but, she needed that little extra attention and "excitement".)
  
  The food was delicious and our drinks were perfect!
  
  I highly recommend this location & we will definitely be going back.
