“Peace, Love and Crabs” (Joe’s Crab Shack)

Joe’s Crab Shack began in Houston in the 1990s, but now Joe’s has well over 100 locations across the United States. “Peace, Love and Crabs” is its t-shirt slogan, since 1991.
 
Other, less successful slogans include “Joe’s Crab Shack—An Embarrassment To Any Neighborhood” (1992) and “Got Crabs? We Do” (2000). It is not known who “Joe” is, but he must have no shame.
   
   
Joe’s Crab Shack
Know Joe’s
Once upon a time there was a cool little seafood restaurant on Richmond Avenue in Houston. Its beach-side shack appeal attracted tons of people right from the get-go. They heard Joe’s was a place where they kick back, strap on a bib and could enjoy awesome crabs, seafood and jam to rockin’ tunes on the many picnic tables. Word spread about Joe’s cool joint and soon, folks were dancin’ on the tables and chairs – with their servers!
 
Joe’s Crab Shack now has over 120 locations in 28 states across the good ol’ US of A. It is one of the largest, most-successful seafood restaurant chains in America. So if there’s not a Joe’s near you, give it a little time - we’ll probably be there soon!
