Joe's Crab Shack
Quirky, fun, and laid-back, all describe Joe's Crab Shack, located across from the Indianapolis Racquet Club. From the wooden porch at the entrance to the tiles on the restroom walls, Joe's Crab Shack is designed to provide the ambiance of an old, beached ship.
Diners receive everything needed to enjoy a variety of deep-sea crab that has been baked, boiled, or broiled: tools to crack the crab and dig out the meat; a bib to catch the juicy drips and buttery sauces; and a tin bucket to collect the empty shells. Although crab is the main attraction, Joe's Crab Shack offers steaks, burgers, salads and other dishes, as well. In addition to the usual requirements of the waitstaff, Joe's employees have to be ready to dance the Macarena at any time.
