Sittin' on the edge of DTF's SOCO district is a cool little bar that not only serves up some great beverages but some unique sausages and some other oddball fried county fair like foods to eat and a holiday kind of atmosphere. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-fullerton?select=VI4WGZHuEG-eoH2_88J2zg#42g4CAQZV904uFYmnTPfgw
I've been to Joes a few times for sausages and beers enjoying this local bar and grill. As a part of the growing chain of independent eateries that include Fullerton neighbors Hero's, Roscoe's (Chino Hills too) and now Tony's in Anaheim I feared that the mom n pop atmosphere would be deluded and canned. Not so entirely of this Fullerton chain link as it still puts out as if they were a mom n pop. But I digress.
Joe's offers up some unusual eats. This place is known not only for the alcoholic libations and a decent draft selection http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-fullerton?select=VI4WGZHuEG-eoH2_88J2zg#mryltHF0dDJnb0TZTUtPqw it offers http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-fullerton?select=VI4WGZHuEG-eoH2_88J2zg#sTN_uB8CK7ccxAvLLaMTxA , but the variety of food it offers. Sandwiches, Tacos, Flatbread Pizzas, Burgers, Salads and Sausages. Great bar food options. But what I didn't know was the other desert goodies they have to offer.
Frito Pie, Fried Junk, Beer Battered onion rings and other appetizers to get your engine revving. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-fullerton?select=VI4WGZHuEG-eoH2_88J2zg#AdTJf0R33mxAvtBw7YF5Vg http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-fullerton?select=VI4WGZHuEG-eoH2_88J2zg#8HfMSv6vQu9CC8DQL09Hig
http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-fullerton?select=VI4WGZHuEG-eoH2_88J2zg#GBMBcc7e-gfqGD9Rlmvpog just a few!
I come mostly for the offbeat sausages which can be hit and miss but mostly hit. Rabbit & Rattlesnake, Smoked Alligator, Hawaiian Portuguese, Boar Andouille, Duck n Bacon and others that pop up. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-fullerton?select=VI4WGZHuEG-eoH2_88J2zg#5ap3OOVtiNzLTjFlvfb0wA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-fullerton?select=VI4WGZHuEG-eoH2_88J2zg#MWh3VYvhp2NKaSyrQI3uzg and also they give you a ridiculous amount of super crisp and tasty shoestring fries with your entrees.
The "normal" sausages include a tasty Brat that's perfect for game day, the "Home-wrecker" (nuff said!) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-fullerton?select=VI4WGZHuEG-eoH2_88J2zg#4Tp8wNiFCa4U_sSfcgQtbg , Italian, foot long Corn Dawg http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-fullerton?select=VI4WGZHuEG-eoH2_88J2zg#oH2B2N46BhvNMWap__NhvQ a couple turkey and chicken selections there is surely something for everyone.
Burgers and sammies, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-fullerton?select=VI4WGZHuEG-eoH2_88J2zg#ImBEfdqmBszWhcgBoXdoxA Pizza and tacos. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-fullerton?select=VI4WGZHuEG-eoH2_88J2zg#0xDZiJqMMdSMDOu2ZYVhMg If you cant find something here to soak up your beer you must be vegetarian. Oh yea they got salads too for all you rabbits out there. Did I mention the enormous pile of fries that come with most entrees! So yummy.
Desert! Is the Fair back in town? Where are the freaks, animals and midgets? Deep fried PB&J, Deep fried Snickers, Deep fried Twinkies. FTW!

Friendly atmosphere that can get crowded on weekends and when its warmer the back patio gets loaded too. Decent music. The staff are all pretty nice, friendly and love to help answer your questions about the different food choices. A clean joint with a fair amount of seating. Not great for big groups but what bar is?
Bummer 'cuz they don't have the food challenge any longer! What a big disappointment as I wanted to eat that big ass dawg for free! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-fullerton?select=VI4WGZHuEG-eoH2_88J2zg#jf_-CsfsUogCrIIVZ_VsMA
I'll be back for a cold one and a sausage. You betcha! read more
