Very nice lady that greets and takes your order was welcoming. However was shocked to see the owner hasn't improved the interior of the restaurant the signage tell it all the filthy ceilings fans covered in dirt and cob webs isnt the environment that I want after living in Los Angeles for the past 20 years. The food is good but not worth the drive from Grand Prairie. read more

all of a sudden, there are catfish restaurants all over the Dallas area. I stopped this afternoon on my way home at Joe's and I was reminded of just how good this place is. The service is excellent. The ambiance is very simple, but clean, that never bothers me. The catfish is perfectly fried (no grease at the bottom of the to-go tray) the fries are homemade and cooked to perfection. EXCELLENT/home made slaw and hushpuppies (which I am not fond of and usually don't eat) I had enough HP when I lived in New Orleans. If you want good catfish (whole which I usually get or filets) for about $16 with all the trimmings, please give them a try, you won't be sorry. I have been coming here for years and doubt I'll stop visiting! ENJOY! read more

Ordered some takeout. Service was quick and very thorough. Family Catfish - The catfish was excellent. Large fillet pieces and a very nice crispy cornmeal coating. The fish was flaky and the flavor was spot on. With the family portion you get a mountain of fries, hush puppies and coleslaw. Coleslaw was very good, tartar sauce was outstanding. Fries were limp and just okay. Gumbo was good as well. Lots of plump shrimp and very flavorful. Service was friendly. read more

Happened upon this place when we came to this part of time for a coffee shop, so glad we did. It was delicious. The people were very nice very nice and we had some good talks and laughs with them. The place itself had a good down to earth feeling and the food was sooo good. I always order Po' Boys and this was the best one I've gotten. We got the catfish and the shrimp po' boy, nothing was over cooked (very easy to do with shrimp), and the batter was perfectly seasoned and not bland at all. Presentation was also surprisingly cute. I'll be coming here again and you should too! read more

Joe's Seafood - a bowl of soup on a table - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Love their fish and onion rings. Being go to this restaurant for years. Have recommended this restaurant to my family.

This was the worse BBQ I've had in my 45 years of living on God's green earth! The ribs were old, greasy, and tough! I ordered the 2 meat plate with beans and potato salad and threw it all up 45 minutes later. It made me sick to my stomach and I served in the Navy and have eaten some pretty gross stuff in my lifetime but Navy Mid rats chow was better than this spot. The cashier at the counter was sweet as pie and is the only reason I didn't go back Joe's Seafood, Burgers, and Barbecue and ask for my money back. This spot is definitely the worse BBQ I've had. Wow! read more

Joe's Seafood - a hot dog in a bun - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Probably the best there will ever be in Dallas Texas although I haven't been in way over a decade.

Right from the start, the pungent smell is overwhelming battered with a film that stays in your nose. The bathrooms were even worse! How this place has passed health inspections blows my mind. Dirty tables, dirty floors, dirty windows, vagrants present, one of the few good things I can say is that I did not see any insects or rodents present. I hate to give a place such a low review, but it's absolutely horrible in here. Waited about 25 mins for my food to be ready when I was the ONLY customer in the restaurant. Food was surprisingly good. But the overall presence of this restaurant should fail any health inspection. read more

Joe's Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Food and service was great. The staff was friendly and funny. Made our lunch enjoyablele.

Catfish dinner & gumbo almost $30. Extra charge for subbing baked potato for fries & for tartar sauce. A base price of $18 for 3pc catfish should probably come w a baked potato, definitely should come w tartar sauce. Sketchy neighborhood & a dive of a restaurant. I will say the catfish was good but for fast food, take out fish, I won't eat going back. Stiff price for lunch. read more

Friendly service but food was sub par at best... hardly any seasoning... chef salad consisted of watery ranch and lettuce and tomatoes (though the grilled chicken was pretty good and well seasoned) the fried fish wasn't good or seasoned and the potatoes salad had no flavor... read more

I've passed this place commuting from downtown to Forney. Family had a chance to try it out and it did not disappoint. Gumbo was awesome, fried shrimp and catfish just as good. Brisket was good and the sauce makes it worth trying. To top it off the service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back! read more

This place has been around forever. I've always loved their food. After 4 years of not eating here I decided to try it again. Could not have been more impressed. Gumbo is the best I have had in forever. Hush puppies were perfect. Catfish, fries, fried oysters unbelievable. The fries shrimp were better than I could even remember. 6 stars if they would let me. read more

Went soley to do some (legal) business in the parking lot. Guy- said "hungry?" "Yep" Catfish sandwich came with nothing... no lemons. Can't vouch for the frog legs but they say... like chicken. 1 star for figurin where 400,000 went... East Dallas. Pickup trucks welcome. Child's plate chicken nuggets might kill ya, if they can find thems frozen lil suckas. French fries need viagra/ No coffee. read more

Joe's Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

For years I have enjoyed this location. However my family and I recently made a purchase last week after new management took over and bought catfish dinners. They must be using something new on the fish because my Daughter had an allergic reaction and so did I. Unfortunately I landed in Urgent care and had to be transferred to Emergency and kept over night. I was still sick when they let me go with lots of steroids, benadryl, and three other meds. I started with itching, It lead to hives then swelling from head to toe. I was afraid I had covid. I made it to Urgentcare in time for a epi pen injection to keep my airways open. I pray they read this and know what they added to the formula. I will never eat here again no matter how good it tastes. The truth is it wasn't as good as it use to be, but I am usually loyal. No more. You on Ash Lane almost killed me. read more

Probably the best little oyster bar in town. I would choose these guys over Awe Shucks and Big Shucks any day. You get a much better value here. I got the big sampler, which included catfish, shrimp, oysters, and frog legs. Everything was cooked the way I like it. It was a ton of food for $20. The lady who runs the place is pretty strict and has signs up with strange rules. They have a weird ticket system where they will charge you a dollar if you lose your ticket between ordering and picking up your food. In that sense, the service could be better. But this is easily forgivable. The cole slaw and baked potato are kind of a waste of time. None of the sides are really appealing. But I don't go to a restaurant for sides. The beer selection leaves a lot to be desired. No good beers at all. Bud, Miller, Corona, etc. This is definitely the largest area of improvement I see read more

excellent customer service Mic The food was not all what I expected but the server c'è was great thanks Mic.....

Mom's favorite Seafood restaurant! We all look forward to having lunch here and as usual it was exceptional! Can't say enough about the awesome food - love the super jumbo shrimp and catfish we had today! Great service as always read more

The most bland tasting seafood I ever had! I'm not going back ! Customer service was nice.

I have been coming to Joe's Seafood for many years. I always order the whole fry catfish meal. You cannot go wrong with this plate. I only wish they did have spicy seasoning. But the way it is is always fresh and delicious with their delicious french fries and of course the coleslaw is good as well. I didn't like the catfish nuggets too much. My husband loves the Gumbel from this place as well. You should at least try the whole fried catfish when you come here. read more

The service was awful. The food even worse. None of the employees smiled or made eye contact when I walked in. The employees preparing the food also weren't wearing plastic gloves or hair bonnets. The man cooking the food was sweating heavily and he was constantly wiping away sweat with his bare hands and using his shirt to wipe the sweat away. He wiped his sweaty forehead with his hand and then went and picked up the bread to use for the poboy I had ordered with the same hand. At that point I was disgusted and asked if he could use gloves. Another woman started screaming 'we wash our hands!!' and what good does washing your hands do when you are wiping away sweat with the same hand you are using to handle food? The food was terrible. It had all been already fried and simply dropped in oil to reheat. All of the food had a leathery texture. It was also seasoned poorly. The bar-b-que sandwich tasted the same. It was dry. Not moist. There was little, if any, bar-b-Que sauce on the meat. The catfish poboy came with two hard pieces of bread. Nothing else on it. But a catfish filet and old, hard bread. No condiments whatsoever. No lettuce or pickes or tomatoes. Nothing. Just a plain sandwich. Not dressed up. I won't return. This is a terrible restaurant. read more

Best catfish ever. Really do recommend this place to go orders. Don't really approve of location.

I cannot give this establishment a rating because I did not eat. The gentleman at the registered rolled his eyes at us, even after he took our $40. It is unfortunate because I LOVE fried catfish and was hoping to find a new place to eat. Either way, I will not and cannot go back to this please. If customer service is key, I don't know how they even keep their doors open!!!!!! read more

This place is absolutely authentic, New Orleans. Gumbo is incredible. Whole dinner was fantastic. Very clean. Def new favorite place.

We were at the Holiday Inn nearby for a wedding rehearsal dinner, and the caterer did not show up. We remembered a friend recommending Joe's, so we called. Within an hour of the order being placed, they came through with food for 65 people. We enjoyed tilapia, catfish, fries, shrimp and hushpuppies. It was all delicious and fresh! We need to go back and try the actual restaurant soon. read more

Joe's is an old friend I've been patronizing for 20 years. I moved away several years ago, but check in there when I'm in town. It was good to see most of the same crew that has been there for years and years-a very good sign. I got the three meat combination this time, with shrimp, catfish and oysters. I love the corn meal breading that they use, although it was slightly greasy. Still, the food tasted great. The shrimp have a nice zing to them. Not a spicy zing or a whimsical zing yet still a zing of character that imparts a unique group of zingy flavors. The shrimp were slightly chewy and zingy, which works for me. The oysters were a mistake. There wasn't much left of them after the fryin' stopped. The catfish was outstanding-moist, plump and flavorful. The fries were pretty doggone good, too. Good tartar sauce, something that this seafood lover doesn't take for granted because it isn't good more often than it is, was found here and made a nice companion to the fried seafood. Yeah, ol' Joe's and I go way back. It's been a good relationship. Like the Terminator, I'll be back. read more

First time here. This place was suggested by a friend. I'm visiting Dallas so I tried it out. NOT IMPRESSED. I had a catfish filet and 3 shrimps with fries and sweet tea. Food is very bland. All the hot sauce and tartar sauce wasn't helpful. The shrimp, not pleasing either. I'm a potato lover so the fries were ok. I exchanged the sweet tea for a sprite. I'm not hating on the establishment. I just will not come hear again. Oyster bar seems to be a big thing here. So if your into that, go for it! read more

This place makes really good food. Customer service was excellent as well. I am really looking forward for my next meal there!

Food was great. Friendly staff and down home atmosphere. Fried shrimp and onion rings were good. Would recommend.

We almost had a disaster Friday, August 29th, 2014 and Joe's saved the evening!!! I had 65 adults and 9 children to feed at our son's wedding rehearsal dinner and the caterer I had hired months prior let me down. He thought it was in 2015! Yes, that actually occurred! We called Joe's Seafood in an absolute panic and they got right on the double and fried catfish and shrimp with fixins in record time and we were able to save the whole affair! It was delicious too! Can't thank them enough! They are my heroes!!! Phyllis Hilliard read more

I really didn't wont to give a 1 star rating! It needs a negative 5 star rate. One of the worst places I've ever been! The health department needs to visit this place and shut it down. The ceiling tiles are nasty with water stains and ready to fall. The ceiling fans are covered in dust and lent and over the tables where you sit to eat. There's eating area near the restrooms and that whole area stinks of mold and mildew. You can smell it as soon as you walk in the establishment. My spouse had an upset stomach before we finished our meal as I did too but then I'm known to have a cast iron stomach. Also as for how expensive it is ,money should be used to fix up the place!! Truth is if I was a health inspector I would shut that place down!!! read more

Oyster's fresh year around. Joe's is the only place I will order oysters not in an R month. I don't do their fried stuff much but everyone else in the joint does. The boiled shrimp is huge. A little pricey for the location but food is great! read more
