We visited here during the weekend afternoon for lunch. Had a very pleasant experience. Waiter was very friendly and informative. It has a very good view, next to a lake/big pond. Doesn’t feel like you are in Indianapolis. For first timers I would recommend variety crab buckets, but be aware it may be too much for one person. Unlike any other restaurants in the US this place has no-tip policy.

We visited around 5 pm on a Sunday. The food was good, and the service was good. The prices were a little high, but tips are not accepted.

Food was decent but just couldn’t get our waitress to come by our table. With 2 kids running out of drinks it was less than pleasant. It was our sons 7th birthday. When we got there, someone was getting Happy Birthday sung to them so our son was looking forward to it. After reminding our waitress it was his birthday at the end when we paid, we waited another 10-15 mins before we decided it wasn’t going to happen and left.

I just recently went there to celebrate my birthday. I had the best time. They sang happy birthday to me and even made me wear the chicken hat and do the chicken dance. When I left there my cheeks and ribs hurt from laughing and smiling so much. And the food was absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to go back there next month to celebrate my fiance’s birthday.

Used to be my favorite restaurant. We don’t go out a lot but I picked it for my birthday. The place wasn’t busy and the service was horrible. Never got refills, didn’t get the right drink, took forever to get our appetizer, and when our steam pot came out it was wrong. When I told the server the order was wrong she argued with me. My husband specifically heard what I said. I told him I wasn’t leaving her a tip, and then saw when we got the bill, there was a no tipping policy which explained the rude server and service. You lost our business with that one. We will go to Red Lobster from now on.

Went to the bar for a couple of drinks and had a wonderful experience with James, the bartender. After a long work day, he not only provided excellent drinks but made my night by the time we left. Will definitely go back soon as a result of his great hospitality. Excellent job James!

Having two daughters who have worked in the serving business I rarely will leave a poor review. This is a non-tipping establishment, and it shows. Poor, poor, poor service. No drink refills, had to ask for bill, . Staff standing around chatting. Food was surprisingly good. We will not be back.

Fantastic drinks, they are generous with the booze. Shark attacks were amazing, definitely recommend. Ordered a steam pot for 2, and it came with exactly 6 crab legs… for over $50. There were two reasonably sized lobsters, but this is Joes Crab Shack… 6 crab legs??? Shrimp were not cleaned, the poo vein was visible. They say this is a “preference”. I prefer to not eat poo. Black out drunk dude at the bar is really loud. He was black out before we arrived and has now added an additional 4 beers. Waiters are affected by the no tipping policy, they are vastly slower and care much less than the average establishment. Probably wont go back.
