Eat seafood in San Francisco

Joe's Crab Shack

Located on Fisherman's Wharf, Joe's Crab Shack is known for its two signature dishes: crab and dancing. If you order crab, you'll get a crab cracker to take home as a souvenir, and a bib to keep you safe. There's always live music playing, and sometimes the staff will even sing along. There are plenty of other delicious options, like Maine lobster, rib-eye steak, jumbo shrimp, catfish, squid, and mackerel, which can be served as appetizers or main courses. And don't miss out on delicious desserts like key lime pie and chocolate cake.
