It's a low-key neighborhood bar. Worn-out booths, well loved stools with a beachy shore vibe. Clean bathrooms. It has good old munchies. Fried foods. Burgers, Tacos, pizza, yummy fried rice, wings, and tasty appetizers! Great priced drinks and happy hours. The Music draws large loud crowds. That's when we don't go !! It is a great LATE NIGHT food spot. There are no more diners open at 1am. On a Monday night it's a nice find! Their full menu is available until closing! The adult happy meal burger was outstanding. Next time I want crayons to draw on the box! Fried PBand J for dessert. !!

Vegetarian options: Indulgent food. Not for snobs!!

My husband and I always meet our friends here when we are visiting NJ. The food is good, the service is great and the drinks are outstanding! Having hung out at Mary's back in the day, going to Joe's brings back many awesome memories.

Great bar and bartenders, drink prices are very cheap compared to the surrounding bars. DJs are pretty good depending on which night you're there, so overall a great atmosphere with a fun range of ages and people. Bouncers are all on point and very respectful of everyone. Would highly recommend stopping in for a night of fun.

Great food, solid drinks and a great staff.

Kinda feels like a sports bar inside though and the music is all top 40 garbage, so some points off for appealing to that crowd. Otherwise, an enjoyable experience.

Good food at much better prices than the close by boardwalk.
$1.75 glass of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer all the time.

I love the variety of fun foods that Joe’s has to offer. I frequently order through Doordash and can happily say that all of my orders have been consistently prepared as requested. The staff’s customer service has been exceptional. They even sent me sample of the buffalo chicken dip…I’m now addicted. I tell everyone about this little gem, great for drinks and appetizers making for a fun night out!

Ok food, cold beer, bad service. Had to ask twice to order more food, finally gave up. Never got drink refills despite asking a few times. Someone needs to teach the servers that letting people order more food increases the bill which increases their tips.
