We had the Joe’s Classic for Two. Crabs weren’t overly seasoned. Shrimp were easy peeling. Good amount for us both. Atmosphere was filled with good cheer. A great time for Saturday evening.
We came once around dinner time and the wait was so long.. Now we come earlier, around 3, and have never had to wait. Crab nachos are fantastic way to start your meal.
Patio Punch...I love this drink. Oh and of course the food here is good.
Everything. Nice combo of different sea foods and some steaks and burgers .
The pots are great and you can substitute if need to. Great drinks too!
They have a small-size dessert option . Do it! No guilt, just pleasure.
Wear the bib! You'll regret it if you don't! Haha! First dates beware ... this is dig in kind of eatin'!
If you have kids and it is warm enough eat outside. There is an awesome private playground for them to run around in and it it MUCH quieter .
The food is always amazing. Love the staff . Miss working here.
If u love SPICY/HOT then the "spicy boiled crab " is def the way to go!!!!!! LOVE THE FLAVOR!!!!
Khai as a great server. Very friendly and helpful. Great time and food
Ask for old bay seasoning on the fries - so good!
for a party of 2, it took us less than 30 minutes to get a table. of course, we went after dinnertime. definitely worth the wait!
Its all good. Get the boil and beers
The wait is crazy long most times but worth it. Get the BBQ snow crab and finish off with the crabby apple crumble
Waited 2 hrs but it was well worth it. I had the fried calamari , lobster bisque and the samuel adams pot! All delicious!
Always a long wait but its so worth it. Order the shark bite drink. Its hilarious.
Say Hi to Meghan at the bar ! Tell her Luther sent you.
You gotta try the "Balls of fire"; a mix of shrimp , crab and jalapeño , they're awesome...!
Don't tell them it's your birthday. They will perform unspeakable acts.
If you don't mind eating at the bar , you can save an hour or so eating there instead of a table. Plus, the bartenders are really cool!
most fun for miles and miles
Good time to go is late @ nite around 8pm. No wait and not a lot of people.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE....ALWAYES EAT OUTSIDE N ORDER A DRINK...GOOD FUN N REAL GD FOOD
The Hush Puppies are AMAZING
Really expensive it was amazing food but it cost $18 for 2 crab legs ....
Clam strips and the Gumbo .
Try the Shrimp And Crawfish Mix (cajun Sensation) - :) too spicy
Love the combo
Try the Coronita Rita- beer inverted in a margarita . Paradise!
ANGIE IS THE BEST SERVER EVER
Try the popcorn shrimp for all of you shrimp lovers out there!
Servers and extremely nice, food is fast and delish.
Go to any other Joe's anywhere, just not this one. The service was terrible, the food was worse and management is utterly useless. If you want to go to Joe's just take the trip to a different one.
When the waiters/waitresses are dancing ....TICKlE THEIR ARMPITS.
Decent food, but the culture of the place (bibs, loud music ) may not be your thing.
$2 Tuesdays are worth it..
Good service good food
Ragin Cajun steampot is da Bomb...fire grilled if course!!
Great food!
Vern is the best server!!!
Music could be lower around lunch time
Here's a tip, dont bet on horses!
Good was good but not worth the 1.5 hour wait on a Saturday night ????
Caution: Food is spicy and they do not caution you. I did enjoy it, but others in my party did not.
Anyone who says it's too lots has no idea what joes is about. Those complaints ruined the joes experience.
Just because you're under staffed doesn't mean quality should suffer and you take it out on the customers.
Steam pots
Try the Apple Crumble - Yum
Zucchini curls are delicious and very filling. Great appetizer to share with 3 or 4. - Grace Hearts
Best movie theatre! I love them it tends to be not too crouded and you can always go to get a beer afterwards at brickhouse or so. - Bee Delacruz
Grab a seafood pancake to share. Also the bibimbap selection is solid for a quick fix. Good ban chan. Best Korean option around. - Michael Natale
Very low prices, but at the cost of quality, especially with clothing. - Dan Sohayda
