Don’t Eat at Joe’s Crab Shack Peoria

This past weekend we had one of the worst dining experiences ever… thanks to Joe’s Crab Shack in Peoria, IL. We thought we’d get out of the house and take the kids somewhere fun. It took about 45 minutes to get there and it didn’t seem that crowded. We waited for a table for about 35 minutes and were finally seated outside overlooking the river. It was downhill from there.

I ordered the “All-You-Can-Eat Popcorn Shrimp,” my wife ordered a shrimp and fish basket, and we ordered the kids popcorn shrimp for our 2-year-old. About 20-25 minutes later our waitress finally came back and was surprised we didn’t have our meal yet. Finally about 10 minutes later our meal arrived. To my surprise, my “all-you-can-eat” shrimp plate had fewer popcorn shrimp on it than my son’s kids meal. When the waitress came back 10 minutes later, I asked if they could bring a little more popcorn shrimp this time. When the second batch arrived another 10 minutes later it had just as little shrimp on it. Since we were our waitress’ only outdoor table, she rarely stopped by to even refill drinks. I wanted another refill of shrimp, but after almost 2 hours of being there, we were ready to leave.
