JOE'S CRAB SHACK

4250 E. Sunset Road, Henderson
Ah, it's coming clear now. This chain lets you stick up your own snapshots and you've given it the interior design honor for a second year in a row. You're in love with yourselves! Everyone also loves Texas and Louisiana coastal dives, presented here in a spruced-up, theme-parklike rendering. P.F. Chang's China Bistro came in second.
Our Pick:
Z'TEJAS GRILL
9560 W. Sahara Ave.
The first of these Southwestern eateries had to adapt to a standing building on Paradise Road. But when they opened their new location built from the ground up last May, they really showed us what they could do. There's no one gimmick that stands out here, just a handsomely designed and inviting building on two levels, with a good blend of brick and glass that seems to flow right out to the patio seating.
