Joe's Crab Shack in Daytona Beach

Joe's Crab Shack is a big national chain joint that supposedly has good crabs.  I don't know cause I don't like crabs, but they also have fries so they get the treatment.  This particular Joe's Crab Shack is located on the pier in the super-duper party section of Daytona Beach.

It's probably a real happening place when I'm not in Florida causing the weather to suck.

$2.89 for a "surf side" of fries?  They better be good...

This is what they brought out.  Fancy ceramic boat, but the fries were meh.

GRUNION:  Is this just the first half of them?

22 meh fries for $2.89.  The Grunion was not impressed.

GRUNION:  I don't get it.  I don't taste any "surf" in these.

The view is great, but the fry situation sucks.  As we were walking out, we saw this FRY STATION on the side of Joe's!  Dammit!  How did we miss this?  We decided it was probably just the fries from inside the restaurant anyway so we passed.

Joe's Crab Shack Daytona: 4 out of 10.
