Joe’s Crab Shack offers free beer…tomorrow
The first time I ever walked into a Joe’s Crab Shack restaurant, the first thing that caught my eye was a sign that hung above the hostess stand that stated “Free Beer.” I was psyched and felt as though I had found my new favorite restaurant, but then I read the last word on the sign. It said “Tomorrow.” I was disappointed, but I had to admit that it was pretty funny, and since I was traveling and on the road alone I sat at the bar. I ordered the broiled seafood sampler and an ice cold Corona, and it was truly a fantastic meal that I enjoyed thoroughly.
I don’t like to recommend chain restaurants because I think it is important to support local businesses, but Joe’s Crab Shack is fun, informal, and just plain delicious when you happen to find yourself in one of their locations that is well managed and staffed adequately. I have had some experiences at some of their restaurants that was a notch below that first time that really impressed me, but that is to be expected when you are dealing with chains.

And maybe you can figure out how to get there “tomorrow” to get your free beer, because I haven’t been able to do so, try as I might.
