Cuisine: Seafood Once upon a time there was a cool little seafood restaurant on Richmond Avenue in Houston. Its beach-side shack appeal attracted tons of people right from the get-go. They heard Joe’s was a place where they kick back, strap on a bib and could enjoy awesome crabs, seafood and jam to rockin’ tunes on the many picnic tables. Word spread about Joe’s cool joint and soon, folks were dancin’ on the tables and chairs – with their servers! Joe’s Crab Shack now has over 120 locations in 28 states across the good ol' US of A. It is one of the largest, most-successful seafood restaurant chains in America.
