We miss joeys bad. Didn’t have funnel cake. Awful staff please just open a place. That’s good here at the beach already is not that good

We had such a great time at Compo Beach and were really impressed with the food stand there. Everything we ordered was delicious — the hot dog was classic and perfectly grilled, the cheeseburger was juicy and flavorful, and the spicy chicken sandwich had just the right amount of heat. The grilled fish tacos were fresh and full of flavor — definitely a highlight.
Our friends ordered French fries, ice cream, and funnel cake, and they loved every bite. The fries were crispy and golden, the ice cream was perfect for a hot day, and the funnel cake was warm, sweet, and just the right amount of indulgent.
What really made the experience even better was the amazing staff. Trina was super helpful and friendly, Cook Jean clearly takes pride in his food — everything came out hot and made to order — and Haley at the register was welcoming and efficient, making the whole process easy and pleasant.
The facilities were also very clean and well-maintained, which we really appreciated. It’s clear the team works hard and takes pride in what they do. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re at the beach!

It is insane that year after year this place can’t get it together. I wish the old owners were in charge. The longest waits and high prices …all for food that is okay at best. I just don’t understand how they haven’t worked out timing, staffing and efficiency. A real disappointment at such a beautiful beach.

The lobster rolls are all worth it. The rest of the selection is nice but don't expect restaurant quality, or the healthiest of choices. All is still good food for the beach. The fish tacos are really well sized, and highly recommended. I have also enjoyed the quinoa salad. Kids love the soft serve. Plus, you can play some free, old school arcades while waiting.

Here’s the recipe for the worst hotdog ever. Use a stale roll… don’t bother to heat it on the grill to hide the fact that it’s stale… then, even though the customer requested as well done hot dog, just cook it half way… so it’s almost still cold. That’s how they do it at Hook’d… and then they charge you $6. I will NEVER go there again. I gave them a second chance. Shame on you Westport…. Bring Joey’s back.

Food was decent, portions were small for the price.
After 3 years, these people still have not figured out how to run a snack bar. Food is overpriced, the menu consists of mediocre snack bar offerings (unless you want an $30 lobster roll) and the service is abysmal. Even when not crowded it takes 20 to 30 minutes for them to cook a hotdog. They have a captive audience, so it would appear that they have zero motivation to improve. I would recommend picking up food on the way to the beach and avoid going there.

I thought I’d leave a more recent review since we’ve had nothing but positive experiences with the food and service recently. The lobster roll is surprisingly good, the chicken sandwich is great, and the other review is correct that the chicken finger portion is large enough for 2 kids and comes with a large portion of delicious fries. I’ve only ever waited a few minutes for food - highly recommended!

Absolutely disgusting fries and chicken tenders. Plus horrible customer service. They charge if you want extra dressing or tap water. Very disappointing. Please bring back joeys! It was so much better!

Over priced. Four dollar fountain drink which doesn’t allow refills - maximizing profits at all costs without consideration of the customers. Also, no free water on a beach which is a crazy policy.
