    2 shrimp and tender dinner

    First time here. Ordered tenders and shrimp. Tender are plain. Shrimp aren't deveined correctly. The fries have no flavor. To top it all off couldn't even get a complimentary BBQ sauce with my tenders. Was told it cost extra. Probably won't be returning. After this.

    I was so delighted to find Joe's is so close to my house and I love how they've been in business over 50 years! I stopped by today and ordered the Cheeseburger Basket. At just under $6 (with fries!!) this is my new favorite burger in all of Houston!! The patties were hot and juicy, the cheese melted just right, veggies and bun so fresh. Staff was so friendly, I cannot wait to go back and try everything else!!

    Burger Basket. I added cheese and bacon

    DELICIOUS!! I ordered the burger basket from UBEReats and it was amazing!! The fries are perfect, the burger is finger lickin good!! Plus everything is CHEAP!! You will not regret ordering from here(:

    Love the bourbon wings they are fire and the patty melt but you have to add bacon. It is to fire so far and make you want to slap your mama.

    The food was really good. Try the fish n chips. Melts in your mouth because it's so crispy. Underrated located.

    I've never had a long wait here but we are always sure to come as early as we can because seats can…read morefill up fast in this cozy retreat! The ambiance as soon as you walk in is welcoming, inviting, and intimate. Even if you dine outside, you are sure to feel cozy like a meal in your own home. The hostess always makes you feel invited. Any waiter we have had here has given GREAT recommendations so it helps us break free of ordering the same thing over and over. We have never had a single day of bad service here so we have become regulars anytime we travel into the inner loop of Houston for business or fun. The flavors? My goodness the flavor here in every dish truly speaks to whoever is cooking these incredible dishes! We've even wanted to ask what we can do to even get our dishes at home this amazing! Their bang bang sauce is something you can rave about if you like a little kick to your broccoli. Yum! Luckily a lot of the appetizers are family style but we all still end up battling to finish the last bite before our main dish comes along! My husband has never been a vegetable eater and thanks to the Ginger Mule, we are changing up our dishes at home too! Whatever they are doing here, I hope they keep it up because we absolutely LOVE the food here!! Thank you to everyone here and we can't wait to be back!!!!

    Cute restaurant with great service and great food…read more We ordered the crap puffs, mushroom burger, and enchiladas. Although I am not vegan/vegetarian, this was a solid meal. I'd say the crab puffs were the highlight of our meal but our entrees were pretty great and the portions here are huge. Service was amazing and our server added to our positive experience dining here. The burger was a slightly heavy, which is why I'd rate it 4 stars. With this being said, I'd definitely come back to try other items.

    It was a slow Sunday night and sometimes that can throw off a kitchen and or server. But with…read moreeveryone at the rodeo (so we figured) we had most of the place to ourselves. We had been here more than a year ago and it was so crowded. The prices are not sky high, but this is not an inexpensive restaurant. So we expect things to be very good or excellent. It was! The service was simply excellent, the food also excellent and it is such a beautiful place. I had the chicken and kept thinking that the dish might need salt. There was none on the table. But two bites in and I realized it was perfect and needed nothing. My wife ordered a Ramos Gin fizz. You cannot get those just anywhere, and like my Gin Martini it was perfect. It was our anniversary and they gave us some prosecco on the house and remembered it with happy anniversary wishes written on our dessert dish. Happily we will return.

    It's off Yale and 14th street and limited valet available so it's easier to get street parking…read more Pluses 1. Drinks are good 2. Brie appetizer is tasty 3. Omelet with racketeering and crawfish etouffee was tasty Areas to improve 1. We booked patio because we wanted to be outside - they had a large baby shower that took over the large room and patio. It looks like it had been planned in advance so it would have been nice to know that the patio was not available . 2. Coffee service - the cup is really small and our server spilled the coffee out of the cup several times. That is just unprofessional to me when the cup is then soaking in the dish with coffee outside the cup. Plus it wasn't refilled as often. 3. Dishes are hit or miss - his shrimp and grits seemed to be a small portion and just bland and blah. 4. Restrooms are really dark 5. Patio outside looks unappealing there are dead plants and lanky wax leaf which gives terrible allergies. Also they have fake plants and also live ones inside the restaurant, but the inside orchids were dried up and dead looking so not fresh or appealing either. I know it's under new management so it might be hit or miss.
