Joe's Crab Shack started in Houston, Texas as the "hippest" little seafood restaurant in town. Our beach-side shack theme attracted tons of people from the start. People heard that Joe's was a place that they could kick back, strap on a bib, and enjoy awesome crabs and seafood while sitting at picnic tables with the music playing. Today, Joe's is known as a place for cracking crabs and having fun on any occasion.
Joe's Crab Shack is owned and operated by Ignite Restaurant Group, based in Houston, Texas. Ignite Restaurant Group also operates Brick House Tavern + Tap. We currently own 157 restaurants in 36 states. Our guests LOVE our restaurants! We are honored they choose to celebrate their special days and nights with us and return the love by making sure that they have a Craveable Joe's Experience.

Legal Sea Foods began in 1950 as a fish market in the Inman Square neighborhood of Cambridge, Massachusetts. It’s here that the “Legal” name became synonymous with quality and freshness. In 1968, our first seafood restaurant opened, right next to the fish market. The fish was simply prepared, either broiled or fried, and served on paper plates at communal picnic tables. Despite the low-key trappings, the food was second to none and word quickly spread. This early success led to further expansion and now, six decades later with restaurants along the Eastern Seaboard, the commitment to freshness and quality endures: "If it isn't fresh, it isn't Legal!”
The Boiling Crab is a casual, family-friendly restaurant specializing in Louisiana-style Cajun seafood. Corporate and franchise locations are currently in Northern & Southern California, Las Vegas, and Dallas, with plans to expand domestically and internationally.
It all began in a little Southeastern Texas town called Seadrift. With a population of just 2000, Seadrift was home to Yo'Daddy and his family of crabbers and fishermen. They labored in their boats year-round, catching oysters, crab, and shrimp for the seafood industry. As toiling as the work was, every weekend the men would come home with their catch of the week to enjoy – they boiled crawfish and crabs, shucked raw oysters, grilled fresh fish – always with a beer in hand.
In 1995, Yo’Daddy met the catch of his life: Yo’Mama. With their flair for having a good time, warm hospitality, and passion for excellent seafood, Yo'Daddy and Yo'Mama opened the first Boiling Crab in 2004. Now, with nearly 20 bustling Boiling Crab locations, everyone can experience the full flavor of a backyard crab fest.
