                                                             Joe’s Crab Shack

            Finding the perfect restaurant can be hard. Many people like complete silence and others like a party like environment. Personally I like going out to restaurants that have a great environment. More that can be noisy when needed and relaxing to eat with whoever you are eating with. Joe’s Crab Shack is a restaurant where you can go and have a great time with your friends and family not only that but if you like sea food this is the place to go.

            The restaurant not only has inside dinning but there is an outside beautiful deck. Yes, it is right in the shore of the Sacramento River. When eating inside the restaurant you can see the different antique objects hanging around the restaurant. It is full of bright colorful lights that are turned on all day. If you go during the night and dine outside you can see how beautiful the yellow bridge from Sacramento lights up the city. The water is calm and the only thing you can hear is the waves hitting the shore. Even though you are in a high elevation where you can’t touch the water you can feel the breeze.

            Can you imagine going on a romantic date. It is a place where you and your other love one can enjoy. Let me tell you that not only for a romantic date can you go but for bithday’s too. They have the best waitress ever they are nice fast and attentive. When is someone’s birthday they let everyone know is your birthday and make the birthday person run around the restaurant while they sing to the birthday person. It might sound embarrassing but it so much fun. Talking about fun not only the birthday people get to have fun but everyone else too. They also have a special timing which is every hour where we can get up and dance. They put the chacha slide, the charley brown and much more fun songs that you can dance too. The waitress dance, man and women, which make you, get in the mood of dancing.

            Right now how our budget is so tight and the last thing you want to do is spend a lot of money going out, going to Joe’s is the best choice. They have great prices on their food. Their plates have a portion for two. But if you get the buckets that have lobster, shrimp, corm, and much more it can serve up to four people. The bucket can range from twenty to thirty. Not bad for feeding four people. Not to mention their appetizers, the must have are the crab nachos. They are corn tortilla chips with different colors serve with crab meat, corn, some lettuce, and a special sauce. Those are the once I always get with my friends when I go. Not only they serve sea food, in their menu they have different food. For example they have Joe’s steak deal, pan fried cheese chicken, home style chicken tender and much more.

            I love when a customer gets a fancy drink called the shark, the waitress getting that certain person screens really loud “shark in the house” and they throw some sort of alcohol that is red into this big bowl of cup full of blue alcohol and a shark inside it. It is so cool, even though you get to hear it many times when being there you can’t get enough of it.

            Not only is the restaurant next to the Sacramento River but it is right in Old Sacramento. That means after you eat with your friends or family you can get the chance to walk around Old Sacramento. There are lots of little stores you can visit. Not to mention that you can ride on horse carriages and they take you all over Old Sacramento. The train station museum is also in Old Sacramento, lots of fun for children and adults. And to not forget that in walking distance is down town mall.

            Having to go to Jose’s Crab you can experience something different and unique. It’s a must go restaurant. For those who drink and have the age, they also have a bar. You can sit at the bar and have couple drinks with your friends and they serve you food to you there too.

            Having the privilege of leaving in West Sacramento I can go a walking distance to the restaurant. Me and my boyfriend ride our bikes to Jose’s. Every time we go we have so much fun. We love how friendly they are and how well the waitress treats us. That is why we keep going back.  I recommend such an excellent restaurant.
