We recently heard that Joe's Crab Shack is a great place to eat. There isn't one in our area, but I noticed that there's one in Orlando...anyone eat here? Is it family friendly? In a good location? We'll be there in Jan and thought it might be a good spot for our 1st night's dinner...

Joe's Crab Shack is great and definitely family friendly.There's 4 in the Orlando area and 2 that I know of in the Disney area,there's one by the entrance of Celebration on 192 and there's one on S Apopka Vineland Rd just north of the Disney entrance on Hotel Plaza Blvd that takes you by Downtown Disney.Last time I ate at Joe's a teen girl was having a birthday there and she had about 20 others in her group,at one point in the meal about 5 servers started this song and dance act with music and several of the girls joined in while everyone cheered.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Joe's Crabshack!! We will hopefully eat here during one night of our stay 
Anyways, I have eaten at the one near Atlanta, in San Francisco and New Orleans, they are super yummy!! They are family friendly, but can be a bit loud, some kids are sensitive to loud noises, especially when its late and they're sleepy; mine's not though, so no worries 
Sometimes they have live music, which can make it louder, but I've never seen a drunken brawl or anything. It's definitely a family type place....

We just at at the one near WDW-- it was great. The best part is the big outdoor area with tables and a big playground area for the kids. They also had a balloon guy walking around making animals for the kids. The wait staff all did a little dance at one point (I forget the song) that my kids thought was very funny.
We found a coupon for a free appetizer in one of the Orlando coupon books that you can pick up anywhere.

Very family friendly. Yes it can be loud, but a fun atmosphere. I love their crab cake sandwich or when really hungry coconut shrimp. Glad to have one 10 minutes from home !
They were sold by Landry's last year and no longer sister to Rainforest etc.....so you can no longer use the Safari Card for discounts. Menu changed, but I believe only to play up seafood.
