My husband and I were driving back to Austin from California and decided to pull over, catch a basketball game, and grab a bite to eat. What we didn't expect was one of the most genuinely welcoming experiences we've had on the road. From the moment we walked in, every single person we encountered was incredibly kind, warm, and inviting. It didn't feel like we were just customers passing through--it felt like we were being welcomed into a community. The food was fantastic! The street tacos were hands-down the highlight--fresh, flavorful, and some of the best we've had anywhere. And the prices were more than fair. One of the most memorable parts of our visit was being given a tour of the backyard area. The team shared that it had recently suffered a fire, but they were still proud to show us the space and even invited us back once it's fully restored. That kind of openness and resilience really stuck with us. Oh--and we can't forget Tito and Becky, the two sweetest cats who made the experience even more special. Joe's Place isn't just a stop for food--it's a place full of heart. We'll absolutely be back next time we're passing through. Thanks Joes place!

The teepee at the entrance is gorgeous and has a ping pong table, a side table, and lots of chairs. The bar has plenty of seating around it and the bartender was super friendly. Our group of 8 ordered food and drinks and we were delighted with our orders! There is a large stage area for live music, a back house with pool and board games, and an old bus with seats and a table. Didn't get to take pics of the bus, but it was awesome. Extremely happy with our experience here and would definitely recommend adding this to your itinerary when visiting Marfa, Texas!

Prices are reasonable for the quality. The brisket was above average--not the best I've ever had, but the pork spare ribs are the star! The spare ribs are so tender and perfectly seasoned. I would probably just get those if I'm ever back again. Self-seating is available indoors and outside on the patio. Make sure you ask for bread, pickles, pickled jalapeños/onions, as they are complimentary. They also have water cups by the sauces (spicy or regular).

We visited the bar a few times during our stay and found the bartenders were friendly and seemed to have a good handle on everyone even when it was packed. The offer great beverages and the bar food menu gives you limited, but good options. My husband enjoyed the buffalo burger with its good flavor. I went with their baked eggplant Parmesan. This was an unexpected treat as it was prepared in such a way that I'd call it decadent. It looked like a square of lasagna and what you found was thinly sliced eggplant layered with cheese and other ingredients that made it the best eggplant Parmesan I've ever eaten. There, I said it. The best. The mixed greens and grilled focaccia is a nice touch to what you'll be enjoying with the eggplant.
