Great service! Bourbon chicken egg rolls, shrimp po boy and lobster grilled cheese all amazing!

We stopped into Joey's Yardarm in Racine for lunch and had a really great experience from start to finish. Service was friendly and attentive, and we had our soft drinks almost immediately, which is always a good sign when you're on a lunch schedule. We both decided to try the soup du jour ...creamy mushroom, and it was a pleasant surprise. Rich, flavorful, and comforting without being too heavy. Perfect for this cold day! For my meal, I ordered the buffalo chicken chopped salad. It was packed with protein, super fresh, and had just the right amount of dressing....enough to bring everything together without overpowering the ingredients. Overall, Joey's Yardarm is a great lunch spot with a solid selection and reliable service. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I want something satisfying but not too heavy in the middle of the day. read more

Never have I been treated in such a manner! I was coming here several times a week for years, until this evening for I will not be returning. As I was coming home from the gym grabbing a tenderloin sandwich only to be accosted by the large gentleman bar keep when picking up my food. read more

We've been going here for over 25 years and we will continue to keep visiting them when we are in Racine. The sand dollar fries with the perch can't be beat. Couple that with a spotted cow beer and what more could you ask for! read more

Food was great and service excellent. Very relaxed and friendly place that has a nice nautical theme. Great after a day on the water

Still 5* after the 4th visit. When my parents come into town this is where we go. Food is great & when the weather is amazing it is a fun place to be read more

Joeys is definitely a local bar/restaurant. If the crowd on a Monday night in September is any indication, Joeys Yardarm is beloved in the community. We sat at the bar and Larry the bartender is good at mixing cocktails. Dirty vodka martinis for my partner and Manhattans for me were solid! Lots of fish on the menu, so we indulged. I had perch, my partner had walleye. Both were good. We didn't try anything else, but the burgers looked good too. We felt at home, and will return when we come back to Racine. Thanks Larry. read more

Oh my goodness. Don't walk, run to this place. It is awesome! The service was excellent 10/10 Food was absolutely amazing and so filling. Fish fry 7 days a week. The cod was so delicious The crab cake lunch/ dinner was the best and that is coming from someone who used to live in the West Coast and loves crab cakes. The cheese curd were so mouthwatering, I have never in my life had absolutely delicious cheese curds like these. The beer was so good. After all it is a spotted cow. It is a cute place. Tables are designed so unique and the bar was packed with people eating . You won't be disappointed!! read more

Wasn't going to post a review but Yelp prompted me. We visited Yardarm as part of Racine Wine Walk on 10/12. The group running the walk issued us the wrong color wristbands and when we arrived at Yardarm we were very rudely and loudly in front of whole bar thrown out. read more

Great food, great drinks, and friendly service! We won't miss this gem if we are ever near Racine again:):)

The Clam Chowder was exceptional! I would come here just for the soup! Burger was decent, nothing spectacular. I liked the sand dollars 20 years ago, not so much anymore. No seasoning except the Parmesan. Actually didn't even eat them. read more

It's been a minute since we have eaten at Joey's Yardarm for lunch. It didn't disappoint. We started with a bowl of sausage and potato, which was a satisfying cream base. The perch dinner was served with coleslaw and their famous Sand Dollars. The shrimp dinner was a grilled skewer also served with Sand Dollars and cocktail sauce. The food was flavorful and satisfying and the portions were generous. For lunch or dinner, you would be happy you went. read more

First time in Wisconsin, first time to eat fish fry and first Walleye. A fun place, excellent food and great service. Madison, our server, was the best. Martini's were pretty good too! read more

Enjoyed everything. We had perch and walleye. The lobster egg rolls were spicy. Chips served were very good. Crab dip was great.

They don't take reservations we were seated right away on a Saturday night. The old fashioned was very good had it with Brandy along with a cod fish fry. Food was hot and a good portion. Will go again! read more

Cod and walleye served with sweet potato fries and sand dollar chips were great as well as the fried grouper appetizer. Good to know that fish fry is served 7 days a week! Server was wonderful and knew the history of the restaurant. Interesting ancient ship decor to look at and casual seating. Went for lunch and would definitely go again! read more

We came for lunch, based on a recommendation from one of the S.C. Johnson tour guides. This restaurant is skilled at frying. The sand dollar potatoes were great, as were the eggplant fries and the beer-battered bluegill. We would come back for those. We also had the pizza burger, which was this month's special and made with a brat patty. The brat patty was spicier than I expected, but overall it was good. I was also large, and two of us could have split it and the side of eggplant fries and come away satisfied. Service was fine and friendly. read more

GEM!!! Grilled chicken wings to die for! Well don't die you won't enjoy these amazing chicken pieces. You have to try the amazing bourbon bbq sauce. read more

We're desperate for a restaurant and yelp was pretty helpful in finding us joeys. Truly a bar that serves food. Definitely don't need your Sunday best to visit. Pretty adventurous menu. Shared the clam chowder with wifey. Looks uneatable BUT tasted good. Salt please wifey ordered a chicken sandwich , fair. The cilantro /lime salad side was delicious. I went to joeys solely to try this things called sand dollars! My dollars were a side with a beef tenderloin sandwich. I ordered it medium planning it would be more rare, and I was right cook on the meat was fine, however, there was little if any char on the steak... wet creepy texture. By the way - sand dollars ( c-), undercooked potatoes slice dosed in Parmesan and salt... strange.... Compared to the outside of the building., I think they put out some pretty good food read more

This was only our second visit to The Yardarm since Joey took over. A few weeks ago I had the blackened grouper and my wife had the avocado grilled chicken sandwich. That was an awesome meal. Back again. So many choices. So little time. Had roughly the same thing. Slightly different preparation of my blackened grouper. How can you exceed awesome? I will call it SPECTACULAR! Incredible food! Great service by Taylor. VERY reasonable prices! Great atmosphere! Casual and comfortable. Thanks Joey! Can't wait to come back!!! read more

On a trip to Racine, Wisconsin this past weekend... we decided to try some of the local flavor down by the marine docks. We had a couple of choices in mind, and were so lucky to choose Joey's Yardarm! Upon arrival, we were greeted like locals with a very friendly crew of bartenders and waitresses, who had smiles a mile wide! We began with the rock crab and shrimp dip which was a brimming bowl amazingly creamy, well balanced, with a flavor to die for! We decided to go easy, as very filling and hearty in and of itself! The appetizer menu was quite large with a terrific variety of exciting choices! Hard to make a decision! The main menu has even more than what you would expect from a seafood themed restaurant, but with emphasis on a wide variety of fish and seafood choices. I was very excited to see Blue Gill on the menu, but decided to go with the perch dinner per our waitress's suggestion. My husband chose the Lobster BLT. The Perch platter was large and accompanied by a creative cole slaw vinegar based with cilantro and was quite nice and a pleasant departure from the creamy sort. I was disappointed they did not have the Eggplant Fries, which I was dying to try... but settled for their Famous Sand Dollars, which are homemade thin sliced potato chips doused with house blend seasoning and tons of grated parmesan! Came with a horseradish based dipping sauce, a perfect accompaniment. OMG... so freakin' delicious! The perch was perfectly delicate and light with four large pieces and literally melted in your mouth! My husband's Lobster BLT did not disappoint, though he is a hearty eater and may have been better if he choose one of the many fish platters. He actually helped me with my perch, as it was more than I could eat in a sitting! So... all in all, you gotta come try this place! Such a comfortable, friendly, light and cheery atmosphere, and our waitress Schae, was so sweet, nice, and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a great first time experience! Will definitely be back in the future as we travel to Wisconsin on a regular basis, Cos.. "WE LOVE WISCONSIN"! read more

The food is delicious here! I always forget how good it is until after I get my food. It is just outstanding! I really like the Grouper fish which comes with vegetables, and rice. It is exceptional. I highly recommend this place. Don't let the exterior for you. It looks like a little hole in the wall but it is not and all the locals come here. read more

Old, warm, cozy, unique, fun and full of people every time I come (albeit some of them are really heavy smokers and the smell drifts over if you're close enough... and if you don't smoke yourself...)! Make sure you leave room for their ice cream pie dessert! Ask for extra sauce for the sand dollars. If they are every soggy, just ask for a new plate - the servers are extremely helpful and will work with you! The review is mostly for the atmosphere and the service. We had dinner elsewhere and just came for drinks and dessert - which was awesome - so no comment on the food. That said, I did come here last year for dinner, twice, with friends. The food wasn't necessarily memorable, neither good nor bad. read more

This place is a super cute little nautical themed restaurant near downtown Racine. Once you walk in you feel like you stepped aboard a ship. My boyfriend and I came for lunch while in town for a wedding. It's pretty small inside so I imagine it gets packed on the weekends. For food we shared the cheese curds to start. They were cooked to perfection and I loved the tangy sauce that came with them. For a meal we shared the platter of perch. It was easily enough for two people to share. The fish was very fresh and didn't have too much breading which I liked. The sand dollars were good as well, sort of like a mix between a chip and french fries. I didn't care much for the slaw or rye bread so I let him eat those. Overall I really enjoyed this place. It's definitely a unique little mom and pop shop. read more

Hey Joey - you got a great thing going! History is quite prevalent from the outside in. All the past good times can still be felt. Vintage looking, with a boathouse shack feel cannot be more welcoming. The decor is a mix of a nautical and Wisconsin blend. Fun! The staff was fantastic. Charity, our server was amazing. It's very clear she knows what she's doing. She remained attentive and efficient while having fun. Two other people stopped by our table to check on things as well. We felt totally cared for. Our food was de-lish! I had Grilled Mahi Mahi, my sister's had a Perfect Steak and the Friday Night Fish Fry. Everything was expertly prepared and we couldn't stop raving about it. I loved everything from the vintage feel to magic that came from the kitchen. The bonus was Charity's incredible service! read more

When Yardarm, as us locals refer to it , began their journey into the downtown area, we knew that we had a winner! The seamless turnover from one owner to another, in my opinion, was smooth and welcoming. We've visited often for sand-dollars and a sandwich or Fish, of course! Food and drinks galore with the local community, nothing better! Racine, you have your hidden treasures and I love visiting them all!! read more

We had the grouper dinner with wild rice and thin sliced sautéed carrots,onions and zucchini. The grouper was seasoned with Cajun spices and was firm and tasty and well presented. The veggies were al dente and flavorful. There was only one server on today, so she was running and service was a bit slow. As always, the ambiance was relaxed and comfortable.... not too busy. We have been going here for 30 years, and Joey has taken the Yardarm to a new level. read more

Cute little nautical bar/restaurant with views of boatyard. Burgers were great with a nice variety but the buns were way too heavy. The sand dollar potatoes are the bomb! Like a slightly thicker cut homemade deep fried potato chip with Parmesan. Soooo good!! The fried eggplant was also some of the best I've had. Perfectly crisp and loaded with Parmesan. Could have used a larger portion of marinara for dipping. We had a fun and friendly server. Will definitely go back even if just for the sand dollars!! read more

My sister (71) has the grilled shrimp. She is specials needs and I had to take the tales off. They were very good. Ample portions with Sand Dollar chips and parmesan. I had the cod fish sandwich and chips. Two nice size pieces of cod. Too much bun so I removed the top. I still only ate half of the bottom. Very filling for me. My house wine was $5 and her soda was cheap. All for a good price and leftovers. We will go back. read more

How addicted can you be to their food? I know I am. If I don't eat there at least once a week, I dream about the place! Their lobster grilled cheese is something to dream about for sure. Service is outstanding! Selection of beers are amazing! Drive fast there ( but within a speed limit) and thank me later read more

One of the best choices for a mid range restaurant in Racine area. It's one of our go to bar/restaurants.
