7. Joe's Crab Shack

Reviewed By JAE2512
The seafood here is good. Service was great. Restaurant was clean. We were pretty hungry after moving our son into his new place for college so I thought Joeâs would be a nice treat. We started off with clam strips and crab dip. Both were good. We shared the clam chowder and gumbo next. Chowder was good. Gumbo was not good. We shared a poâboy and a steamer pot which had clams, mussels, shrimp, corn and potatoes. Some of the items in the steamer pot were overcooked. Cooktails were good. Not sure if we would come back next time we are in town. Food was good but not the best weâve had.

I used to think Red Lobster was an upscale restaurant 30 years ago, but they definitely went downhill over the years. However the location near my home has put a spin on my overall view of the chain by taking pride in their service, appearance, and quality of food. I had a remarkable nice visit when we went for my son's birthday as his requested dinner. They were not told of the occasion until after the meal so I can say with confidence that was not the reason for the excellent experience.

I take the wife here as it is relatively close by. The drinks are generous and for a bar - they actually have really tasty dishes. They have a really good burger here and the fries are always crisp and salty. This place gets pretty packed for happy hour but the staff handles it well. The manager/owner is a really nice guy - he sopped by my table and had a chat with me and that is the sign of good management. I come here every now and then and recommend it for those who are nearby or passing thru.

The place is small and nothing fancy. It's a little pricey for what you get (in my opinion - I got a 1/2 order of F&C and the guy got a full order), but the service was fast and friendly. And most importantly, the fish n' chips were super yummy.'Nuff said.

3. Bonefish Grill
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By CO-Frequent-Traveler
Bonefish Grill consistently provides attentive service and perfectly cooked seafood to customers. I had the Cobia (a white fish similar to halibut) while my friend had the Sea Bass, both beautifully seasoned dishes. I chose the Chimichurri sauce for the Cobia which gave the fish a fresh, lemony herbal flair. We opted for the $55 dinner option for two people but replaced the Bang Bank Shrimp (my friend had allergies) with the Brussels Sprouts w/Ham which was delicious. Sides of Jasmine Rice and Green Beans were very complimentary to the main dishes. Drinks were pricey as was dinner as a whole (if you don't opt for the "Dinner for 2" combo) but worth it if you want to treat yourself to a dinner worth the price.

Group of for went. All ordered different things and all were very good. The only thing not good was the tonion appetizer which was very dry and over cooked. Steaks and chicken were all delicious. Server was slow and never returned to fill up drinks. Not smart when you work for tips
