    Dropped in as a "plan B" and was not impressed.

    Crabby Joes seemed to be just about average in a sense of food quality, and below average in a sense of service.

    That's one combination I find annoying - when waiters are friendly, positive, smiling, talking to you and so on - but completely ignore your needs as a customer.

    I really want a server to notice when there are forks or knives missing, or that clients are sitting in front of an empty table and patiently waiting to make an order - especially when there aren't many other customers around.

    Other than that, think about Crabby Joe as a second grade Lone Star or Montana's version, and you would be just about right in your expectations.

    Went last night for "wing night". It was busy.  The service was very good considering!  And for the price of the wings it was a good deal.  I would recommend this place, but be prepared for a bit of a wait if you want cheap wings.

    Crabby Joe's? More like Crappy Joe's. Ooo yeah, I went there.

    In all seriousness, I've been to Crabman's a few times already, and every time I always feel underwhelmed when I leave. The last time in particular, where the flies were so bad in the dining room, that I actually wanted to leave because it was so annoying.

    The place itself is nice on the inside. Nice and roomey, with a decent bar area as well. Think Jack Astor's, only if they had a psychotic break, and started taking everything way too seriously.

    I've never had a complaint with the servers. They've always been very nice and helpful.

    The food itself was always really bland. I don't know, maybe it's because it's a little pricey, but I never really feel like the results really justify the bill.

    Located in an area where you can always get better food for less with Sonny's, Burrito Boys, or even Denny's and Boston Pizza a little farther up Queen...I hope the Crabster steps his game up.

    Was staying at a hotel nearby, and this was one of the few dining options within walking distance.

    We should have expanded our search radius.

    This place was bad. Food, drinks, service... everything. After a long day of driving, several of us felt like having a pasta dish (more of a meal, rather than a sandwich or ribs or the like), and while we all had only modest expectations, they still didn't come close to meeting them.

    The service was awkward and amateurish - our primary waitress seemed to struggle with my perfectly neutral American accent (wtf?), and the server who helped bring some of the plates to our table loudly announced twice she didn't know what any of the dishes were. Really nice.

    Because none of us got sick and the prices weren't too bad, I'm going to be generous and give 2 stars. However, make no mistake, if ever again in the area I would never return here.

    I had lunch here with my colleagues today.  I hadn't been to a Crabby Joe's in years.

    The service was good ... our server was very attentive.

    I ordered the baked chicken parm (lunch size) and it was delicious.
