I can see how the locations in areas where there isn't great availability of seafood stay open

But as someone else said no idea how the Siegen location stays open

I stop at the joes in Beaumont along the interstate once in a while. It’s usually fairly busy and the food isn’t bad. It’s not fantastic, but the steamed shrimp and crab are decent. You get what you pay for I suppose.

But I’ve been in some that I’ve walked right out because of the smell alone. They are definitely hit or miss.

Probably not. Sherwood Forest corridor was also a great area for business 20 years ago.

It's still ok south of I-12 but certainly not what it once was. Imagine opening an Albertsons at Florida and Sherwood or a Sports Authority across from the section 8 projects now.

Ate here as a kid when on beach vacation. It always seemed like the fancy place to eat for poor, country me.

I've been to the one here in Corpus just because my mom likes crab legs

Now we have a few other local places that are a lot better thankfully

I worked at one for a few months in the 90s and scored some fine fine stuff. Great memories!

I can’t imagine living in a coastal state and choosing to go to Joe’s Crab Shack or Red Lobster. Those places were created for midwestern folks without access to fairly priced fresh seafood.

The one on the lakefront in Nola killed it 1996-2004

I was a server there back then and it was a goldmine. They made the servers dance on the bar and shite when they played stupid songs, but I always ducked out downstairs to smoke a cigarette because I felt like an idiot doing that shite.

We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster

If I may rant for just a bit, anyone who eats at Joe Crab shack is a whore, a whore to China, a whore to Vietnam, a whore to Thailand, a whore to selling out. The US ships most of its high quality catch overseas, wild caught ground fish, shrimp, lobsters, you name it. We get chemical-laden aquacultured shite in return. Why? American consumers have the palette of a 10 year old.

That said, I love US aquaculture. We have regulations for what goes in to our products. I’ve been supporting aquaculture for many years at a large land grant university in the south. Further, I’m no staunch conservative by any means, but the regulations on US aquaculture are the most burdensome in the developed world. Try off-shore culture in the US. Ha! Good luck. You can’t. frick China, frick Vietnam, frick your juvenile palette, and frick anyone else that stands in the way of US aquaculture producers.

Buy farm raised catfish, buy gulf shrimp, get those crayfish and oysters, buy rainbow trout from Idaho, buy Maine lobsters if you can.

Ive never been either. I was wondering why they built it in the first place. It’s like a less fancy Joes Crab Shack.
