We had a great 70th Birthday brunch that included 3 generations. The buffet has plenty of options for everyone. Our 10yo granddaughter was enthralled with the atmosphere and really enjoyed checking out all of the different rooms. The landscape outside is beautiful with something interesting around every corner.

Most restaurants don’t put a lot into whatever vegan dish they offer. Scott’s vegetable and tofu stir fry in a delicious sauce with white rice was fantastic!!!

Joe’s Crab Shack offers a variety of favorites from all parts of the sea and shore. From its extensive menu, guests can choose from buckets of seasonal seafood, fried shrimp platters and fish dishes, as well as options from the “mainland” that include steak, sandwiches, and chicken. Guests can indulge in over-sized and creative cocktails, such as the Shark Bite which is playfully garnished with a shark toy. Since its inception, Joe’s popularity has stemmed not only from its menu, but also its retail store. With various pieces of merchandise for purchase, including the ever-popular tie-dye T-shirt with the phrase “Peace, Love and Crabs,” Joe’s has become synonymous with the word “fun.”
