Thanks so much!

The pier used to have a local restaurant and it was so good. The pier was destroyed in a hurricane and rebuilt. That is when they built Joe’s Crab Shack. I have eaten there only once and it was overpriced. There are lots of great restaurants in Daytona Beach and Ponce Inlet. The Roof is a rooftop bar.

This is very interesting! Thanks for sharing. Do you remember what the restaurant was called? Definitely wouldn’t go back to the Joe’s here.

Very helpful review!

Funny, we just visited Daytona Beach for the first time a couple weeks ago and walked up to that Boardwalk. Thanks for the review as I will look for other places to eat. We did try 2 places across from the Daytona Speedway. First PF Changs and that is always good. Later on we tried 4 Rivers BBQ Smokehouse and that was very good. They are going to open one in Middleton, The Villages in about a year, so it was great to try it. Very good!

Thanks guys

No Blue Crab..a common crab here? There was a Joe's Crab Shack in Orlando. Prices were high years ago. Glad you didn't have to deal with embarrassing dance routine the waiters and waitresses were forced to do! I hope Lee & Rick's Oyster Bar is still open off Old Winter Garden Road. That's an old fashioned place for seafood/oysters! 👍🏻

It definitely has gone down hill. It’s a great location but wouldn’t go back! Will have to see if the Oyster Bar is open and give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

Recently found your channel and have been binge watching episodes. Thus far the German restaurant is by far my favorite, wow that food looked awesome and even though I'm not a huge desert guy that desert there was nuts looking. I have found that Joe's is a gimmicky over priced tourist trap with so so food at best. Much prefer the "mom and pop" restaurants

Thank you! Appreciate all the support! We try and show a variety of things and leave it up to the viewer to decide if it is for them or not!

I totally agree the salmon looked quite undercooked. I guess they feel they could get away with it because of their location on the water in Daytona Beach but wrong! Just keep spreading the word.

Haha guessing you had a good experience?

The good lady and myself ate at the Joe's on 192 at kissimmee , she ordered the mussels, about half of them were undercooked and unopened, not impressed!! We wouldn't be in a hurry to eat at Joe's anytime soon. I know Alex that you are not the sort of chap to kick up a fuss, but I wouldn't have let them away for serving undercooked salmon!!! Would have demanded it ge removed from the bill(check)

We have been to the one at universal and it was okay. Seems like the chain places aren’t typically as good with seafood.

We feel the same way about that place. Only ever went to the one in Newport Beach, CA (where we are from) and it’s the same. Overrated.

Salmon is not supposed to be well done. The slimy texture you noted is more likely from the fish not being fresh rather then being underdone. My favorite salmon is super fresh sashimi grade salmon served raw in a good Japanese restaurant.

Agreed! It wasn’t good but now we know!

“Joe’s” abysmal handling of your undercooked salmon is inexcusable for any restaurant that wants a satisfied customer who will return and tell her friends. IF “Joe’s” revenue comes mostly from tourist dollars, the immediate sale is the only thing that matters. And that is a shame, because “Joe “couldn’t ask for four nicer people than you folks and your mom and dad. P.S. had you agreed to send that salmon back, it would’ve gone right into a microwave oven!!
