Joey's does it again!!! Amazing place our favorite when we visit this area. Read my previous review. I want to add how inexpensive it is. The service is still awesome and the food, worth the drive. We have never been disappointed.. read more

One of my absolute favorite restaurants in town. Great service great food! Friendly workers

What an amazing place! Very nice family friendly place with excellent food, great prices and extremely professional staff. It doesn't look like much but just wait till you try the food. This will definitely be on our go again list. read more

We love the pizza from here they are always busy but found if we call order in the time they give us to pick up is spot on.

I stumbled upon this place, coming to Houtzdale for 2 reasons One was to experience the outdoor party and hear the band, and meet Margianne at Remedy's My friend's came in to eat, and get takeout They were impressed with the food mi stopped in to make sure everyone was okay, and used the restroom The place is beautiful My friends, who I brought there, bought me a drink, I was introduced to Joey, and on the way out of his establishment, he wanted to know why I was leaving without paying... I said, because my friends, who are sitting at your bar eating, bought me a drink! They don't even stay open during this event It's a block party, they close... OMG!!! I will never frequent this establishment ever again... If you cannot support your community, you do not deserve to be supported by any of us, who come to support your outside events... Joey's, Restaurant Get a clue, and step up You are an embarrassment to the cause read more

Take out food was so greasy that it leaked from the box, all over the seat in the car and then all over me after I picked it up and didn't realize. Dine in service has lacked in the past and we haven't gone back. Arrived about an 1 1/2 hours prior to listed closing time, service was slow, placed an order after about a 1/2 hour (service issue, not us being unable to decide). Waited about 40 minutes for the food and now we are up to about 20 minutes before closing. Waitress told us we need to hurry up because "he" hates when they can't close at 8. Not sure who "he" was but she acted like it was our fault. I immediately asked for containers so we could just leave. I am quite sure the bigger groups of people there were not told this. Have not been back for dine in since. read more

Great food and service. I had the Chicken Bilby ( white chicken, cheese, French fries and your choice of sauce. ) . If you think the food is good wait until you get the bill. 2 Thumbs up. read more

Thanks Yelp reviewers for helping my husband and me find this place. Yes, it does look like a typical corner bar, but once inside the door, your mind will be changed for the best!! Our waitress, Michelle, was very friendly, and answered all questions we had about the menu, which had many options. We each ordered the most popular sandwich, which is a Bilby. Homemade pizza crust stuffed with filling of your choice. Thankful we each ordered the small, because it was huge! My husband also ordered onion rings and they arrived promptly and were delicious. The restaurant is clean- bathroom included. We arrived at 3:00 ish, just as they opened. Many people came in shortly after, so you know that at typical dinner hours, they are busy. Two thumbs up! If in the area again, we'd stop back in! read more

Love the food and service. Always top notch!!! The staff is impeccable. Always great people

Great food. It's highly recommended if you're passing through houtzdale. The staff are great. Their hours and closed dates are the only downfall read more

The Bilby. I was auto-corrected 3 times just now for that one fascinating word. YASS a Bilby. It is a Joey's one-and-only construction, built like a pizza, calzone, and/or sandwich. It doesn't quite matter what it is, IT is delicious. Basically, if you can dream it, it exists. For the Bilby, that is certainly true. This Texas city-girl is once again bamboozled by small town fare. I'm struck straight through to the heart. Stab, twist, pull, stab, because everyone I know in PA is obsessed with the Texas Roadhouse. But Why? YOU HAVE JOEYS!!!! *Mystified* *Completely mystified* Joey's is a perfect storm of family friendly, open bar, warm and friendly, all of the feels home style cooking with a serious foodie twist. Like, somebody here may know what a tapa is!!??? stop it. I went too far. But again I think, maybe. A friend ordered something I won't soon forget. Crispy fries, ranch, cheese, chicken. I can't even. Let's talk about the wine though. You still got 5 stars but only by the hair on your chin chin chin. Your wine list needs serious work. I realize this is a miller/bud light area with craft beer only a glimpse on your radar, but think of the possibilities! A solid wine list with craft beer selection? However, The Yuengling. With a chilled glass!!! What a statement! It did the job. Alcohol aside, you're the real winner in Houtzdale. read more

Joey's Restaurant - I drink a lager when it's asked if me - Italian Near Me - Houtzdale, Pennsylvania

We went here for the first time. Taking two adults, 2 teens, and two 10 and under. We were sat beside a table with 6-8 people. Not thinking anything of it, we didn't have an issue waiting the 30 min for food, as they warned us ahead of time. We put in our orders, got our drinks in a timely manner, and then not long after we got salads, for the 2 people who order them. The waitress was young, but very kind and on top of things. As we were sitting and waiting for the rest of our meal, we noticed that we had to keep repeating ourselves to each other, as the people behind us with all adults at the table, were so LOUD, that we couldn't hear anyone at our table. When their waitress walked past, I asked the woman why those people felt the need to be so loud, considering it is a family friendly restaurant, or so I thought. The waitress proceeded to go over to said table and tell them that I had complained about their noise volume. Which was super unprofessional and very rude. So, then I was extremely uncomfortable with my family. When I got up from the table, that same table proceeded to glare at me as if I were the person in the wrong and had done something to them. When I asked if a manager was there, she claimed a supervisor type was at the other side of the restaurant greeting people. I spoke to the woman about our experience, and all she had to say was "I'm sorry". Nothing more. I repeatedly told her that we spent a lot of money for us to enjoy the food and family company, out to dinner, for us to not be able to speak to each other at our own table. I also contacted the restaurant on their social media, and got no response. I was not rude once and didn't have kids acting up, or disturbing others. I feel the supervisor should have addressed the entire situation to begin with. WE WILL NEVER GO BACK! And not one of us was disappointed by the food. read more

Joey's Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Houtzdale, Pennsylvania

From the outside it looks like a dive bar right? It is totally family friendly but also great for dates and groups! Their service was fast and friendly. The cheesesteak sub was excellent, one of the best I've ever had. Worth a stop despite the shady looking area. read more

My parents drove 40 minutes each way bcs the web page said they were open, but they weren't. When she called to complain about it, the jerk on the phone told her she could "go somewhere else " and HUNG UP on her! I don't care if your food is good, that's terrible customer service and completely uncalled for. read more

I don't get why this place is so hyped up. It's a typical pizza shop with really high prices. $14 for a dozen tiny wings? C'mon, 12 wings here is 7-8 wings anywhere else. The claim to fame 'moon sauce' that they will gladly Put on anything is nothing but franks red hot with brown sugar, garlic, butter, and rosemary. Pizza is overpriced as well, and the sauce is very sweet instead of having traditional Italian flavors. Wait times a very long, and as soon as your food arrives you feel pressured to leave, practically pushed out the door. Our server, Erica, was not personable, and not friendly. Definitely doesn't like her job, and was very fast to bring the check as soon as the food hit the table. If you're looking for a nice meal with friends, this is not the place. If you want rushed out the door, frozen food deep fried, and kids screaming with babies crying. This is your spot. read more

I used to live in Houtzdale when I was younger and Joey's was a MUST when you go to Houtzdale. I've only been back once since I moved to Texas, but it was totally worth it. It's one of the ONE things I miss about Houtzdale that's for sure! Joey the owner is incredible. He is so friendly. I have so many fond memories of him, one in particular that my friend and I were roaming downtown and we saw Joey walking on the street (It was a Tuesday and they used to be closed on Tuesdays). He invited us in and made us a pizza and didn't charge us! It was fantastic & awesome!! read more

What the hell is a bilby? Delicious, that's what it is. I absolutely love Joeys. Everything from the decor to the unique layout of the place, but mostly the food. Awesome place, worth traveling to Houtzdale for. read more

This is a gem of a restaurant in Houtzdale. Had honey mustard wings that were Cooke crispy. Sauce was good but give you enough for 3 dozen instead of one. Seemed a shame to waste that much sauce. I had shrimp scampi which was the best. Had snap peas and roasted tomatoes and loads of small shrimp not overloaded with butter and garlic. Garlic bread was delicious. Their garden salads are the best. You get tomatoes, olives, pepper rings, croutons, onions, pepper chino, cheese and your choice of mixed lettuce, ice berg or spinach. You also get two pieces of a delicious bread. As always we brought half home for second meal because of large portions. My wife got the fish with scallop potatoes and sautéed vegetables and she loved it too. Lastly, our waitress was great . She was friendly and very attentive. I would have gave them 6 stars if I could. read more

Yes, corner looking type bar but it was nice inside. The waitstaff was friendly. Our food just took awhile to get to our table. The burger was way overcooked along with our pretzels, & some cold fries but the rest of our meals were fine. The portions are generous as well. We were charged for an item that came with our food but since they were closing & we had already paid, we let it go. Make sure you check your bill & ask about add ons if unsure. Covid pricing is where we are now. Again our meal was good, not great but we would recommend a stop if you're in that area. read more

My favorite place to order from. Great service all the time, the workers are kind and courteous. I know things have not been the same since covid but I see this business working hard to follow the laws and service the community!! Thanks Joeys our family will enjoy your food for years to come! read more

Great food and nice atmosphere! Stopped in for a cold beer and wings and did not disappoint. Will be back next time in the area.

They have a very short work /open hours day, like 3-9...and if you get there during the busy window you are going to wait in a very small, confined area upfront. No reservations. That said, this is absolutely positively our new favorite restaurant and we drive there from State College every weekend!!! The buffalo pub fries (I think they're called ) are just amazing. Absolutely get them with the moon sauce, I think it might be a combination of hot sauce, butter, and maybe barbecue sauce? Either way they're a miracle of modern science. The fries are crunchy and soft, they have lots of sauce and then cheese over top, I just can't explain to you how perfect and wonderful and amazing these fries are. The restaurant is pretty noisy if you sit in the back room where all the booths are. I say that because I work for an audiologist :-). If you have a hearing problem I will try to sit out by the bar at the tables over there. The prices are completely reasonable. Last night we had two main courses an appetizer and it was still only 40 bucks. The service is amazing. All of their waitstaff is just pleasant and helpful. If they ever get the chance to buy a plot of land next doo, they should, because the parking lot is small and we always have to find a spot on the street. The bathrooms are clean. Check out my pictures for commentary on the food. read more

We were in town for a funeral and had to have a quick dinner before heading back for the last few hours of the wake. We had a large group-20+ people and this place isn't huge but they worked us in at several tables and had us fed and happy very quickly. I had a salad with chicken, olives, banana peppers, tomatoes, onions , croutons and your choice of spinach, iceberg or a combination of both. I thought it was going to come with French fries but turned out the salad was topped with the fries plus shredded cheese. It was huge! At $10.99 it was a bargain -it made a second meal the next . Our waitress Melissa was knowledgeable, friendly and quick-all of the wait staff was. This place is in a very small town in Pennsylvania and I couldn't believe how busy they were for a Sunday night-they are only open about 4 hours on Sunday's for dinner. Obviously they are doing something right! Go out of your way to try Joey's! read more

Joey's is a hometown favorite!!! Food always fantastic! Staff is incredible! The only con: they close too early on Friday's and Saturday's. read more

We drove 45 minutes from State College to get a few of their Pugach pizzas for take home and decided to stay for dinner. This place is a jewel in Houtzdale, PA with great food, very generous portions, and outstanding service. I ordered the fish sandwich, which came with baked mac & cheese along with a side salad ($12). My wife ordered the same. We were both unable to finish our meals! The fish was done to perfection, the salad was generous, and the mac & cheese was outstanding. The menu is pretty diverse, so we definitely plan to come back here again and again. And by the way, the Pugach Pizza is well with the 45 minute drive. A+++ establishment. read more

Joey's Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Houtzdale, Pennsylvania

My favorite food place ever. It's right down the road from my house and If I could go there everyday, I would. I highly recommend the Bibly. It comes in many different kinds. They have stuff such as steak tips and scalloped potatoes. Shrimp Scambii. And the bar selection is awesome too. The waitresses are also the sweetest. I recommend Joey's! A++ read more

Joey's is a local treasure. When people come "home" a trip to Joey's is a must do. It is a fantastic Casual Dining restaurant that has some of the best wings on the East Coast. (IMHO of course) From Pizza to Pasta, the menu is as tasty as it is varied. The only negative about the place, is that it does not have fountain soda. It's by the bottle or can. They do have a full bar, so if you prefer a Beer or Cocktail with dinner, then your set. Good food, good people, reasonable prices, you cannot leave hungry. read more

Fantastic food but questionable hours. They are listed to be OPEN till 9pm but that's not always the case. It's some drive for me to get there only to find they are not really open and starving till 9. It really means they transfer the phone over or stop seating from 8 to 8:30 and the place is dark, deserted & empty before 9 and you made the hour long drive for great food nothing but a big disappointment. If your going to close at 9 or 8:30 don't list your hours as open till 9. It's a lie, it's rude and shows you have no respect for your customers time. read more

Houtzdale...a town pretty much the middle of nowhere PA, but well worth the drive just to eat at Joey's. Pretty sure everything is homemade... the alfredo sauce is to die for, surf and turf is awesome, and the bilby is a great casual dinner. They have scolloped potatoes on the menu, which really means Joey's should get 6 stars, but Yelp only allows 5. It's a fairly large menu for a small town and everything we've had and everything we've seen on other people's tables looks fantastic. Decent beer selection as well. The hours are somewhat limited, so double check before you make the trip, and you may wait. But it is SO worth it. The folks are friendly, real, the atmosphere is relaxed and fun. read more

You'll be lucky to find a seat. The food is so good everyone eats here. Our personal favorite is the original moon's wings pizza.

This restaurant in Houtzdale is one of those wonderful home town places that at the same time feels modern and fun. I always get a large pizza or wings, but the menu is full of great stuff. I will definitely be coming back often. read more

I've had at least one thing from every section on the menu, and it NEVER disappoints. The staff is always happy and friendly, we especially love the bartender Tina! A few of mine and my family's favorites are the Snap Peas or Potato Skins for an app, the Steak Salads or Billbys as the main course, and a nice cold beer to wash everything down! We travel 25 minutes to get there, and never regret it. Best restaurant around! read more

Food is really good I recommend the wings or the Bilby only thing is it's getting a little bit on the greasy side.

My favorite restaurant in the entire world!!! Moon wing sauce is the best sauce I've ever had. Side salads are delicious. You really can't go wrong at Joey's! read more

I absolutely love this place. The alfredo absolutely the best you can buy!!!!!!! I only wish they sold jars of it like the do the moon sauce. You can almost expect a wait every single time you eat in or take out. Joe the owner is super nice as well as all his employees. The remodel/ expansion of the place was a great choice made it that much nicer. Limited hours so when they are open they are packed from open to close. Might be a little pricey but well worth the $ for 2 reasons 1 the taste and 2 the amount of food you get. Joey's is a must stop place for sure read more

Joey's was a nice find while driving through Pennsylvania. The baked goods look great, and the sandwiches were decent. Even though it was busy, there is no excuse for it to take 45 minutes to get your food after ordering. This should be 2 stars because of the service, but will retain 3 stars since it is the only place in town for eating. read more

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Fast and friendly service as well as a great atmosphere. Their pizza, wings, and bilbys are really good. I would also highly recommend the moon sauce as it's one of a kind! The moon sauce is a balance of sweetness and slight spice and it is delicious on wings. read more
