I DON'T like crab or seafood...BUT this (near where I used to live) IS the #1 stand-alone (single) crab restaurant in the ENTIRE US: Bob Chinn's Crab House It is? Never heard of it. I've heard of Joe's Crab Shack, and I have never eaten there. Just passing on the news. Hopefully, those who no longer have a Joe's Crab Shack to go to... can find a Bob Chinn's Crab House nearby. |

Bob Chinn's Crab House: "In other words...the SINGLE MOST-POPULAR stand-alone, one restaurant ONLY (NO CHAIN), SINGLE restaurant in ALL of the United States of America."
I bet people are just clawing their way in to that place!

I love seafood. I've never tried the place. I have one about 15 minutes away from me though

Pretty sad that the list includes the one that is nearby where I live. Never got the chance to dine there. 😢

I wonder what the reason was behind the closures? It's kind of odd that they only closed some of the branches, but not all of them.

ZolotoyRetrieverAccording to wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe%27s_Crab_ShackIn January 2014, Joe's had a total of 138 restaurants located in 35 states. Texas, had the highest number of locations with 28. The company owners filed for bankruptcy protection on June 6, 2017. Landry's Restaurants, Inc. won the bidding, to buy back just the Joe's Crab Shack brand from them. Starting August 11, 2017, 41 locations across 19 states, abruptly closed... That is approximately 29.7% of their locations Sounds like Joe's Crab Shack wasn't making a lot of money, and the ones that were making the least, were the ones that closed.
