Food News: Joe’s Crab Shack Opens In Oceanside

We can now welcome Joe’s Crab Shack to Long Island, with their newest location opening up now on the south shore of Nassau County, in Oceanside.

We had seen a hive of construction activity in the Sands Shopping Center in recent months, and the space that was formerly the Gap is now transformed into the first location on the island for this seafood chain.

Since they’re a corporate brand, they wouldn’t allow us to take pictures inside the restaurant, so we hung around on this rainy night to capture some shots of the exterior. From what we saw of our quick trip to the interior, it’s a wide open space with plenty of bar area and televisions to tide over both the kids and the sports fans alike. It was packed and there was a wait (and this was on a Thursday night) so we can see the first few weekends of operation of being a total madhouse as well.

The menu features a variety of shellfish and other aquatic offerings, as the name would suggest. We welcome Joe’s Crab Shack to Oceanside and we can’t wait to head on over and sneak some shots of their cuisine.
