Where To Eat and Drink

At Waterfront Park, we invite you to experience the family-friendly atmosphere at Joe’s Crab Shack or visit one of our several concessionaires located throughout the park. Below is a complete list of our offerings.

Joe’s Crab Shack

Dine on the deck at Joe’s Crab Shack for great views of the river and park. Located at 131 River Road near the Blue parking lot, Joe’s Crab Shack has been operating at the Louisville Wharf since 1998, serving seafood seven days a week

A casual restaurant for the whole family where entertainment is king (crab), Joe’s serves delicious coastal dishes including fried shrimp platters, signature fish entrées, famous steam pots and over-sized, creative cocktails. Sit on the patio and dive into a Shark Bite cocktail. Bring your kiddos for the Paint-A-Crab Dessert. Grab the crew, throw on a bib and get crackin’. Or join in on the group dancing. Whatever your flavor, Joe’s Crab Shack will serve your seafood with a side of fun!
