Wife's steak was very good, mine mostly grizzle with a large vein running through, the flavor was good though. Wife had a loaded baked potato that made me a little jealous because I had the new potatoes that were described to me as cowboy potatoes (they were cowboy potatoes as much as scrambled eggs with cheese on top is an omelet). The ribs I ordered on the side were phenomenal and falling off of the bone.

All I can say is WOW! The $10 pork chops were OVER priced. They were super dry, tough and no flavor. Smoked cardboard might have been better!! I noticed another guest sitting across from us was experiencing the same issues. He was eating alone and I saw him shake his head in disgust as he struggled to cut his meat. Too bad because Joe Allen's has been a legendary place for ever. I guess you get what you pay for.

The food was amazing as always. However, there was no cornbread provided. We went for a late evening dinner but still 2 hours before close. At the 1 hour mark they started locking the doors and we felt the wait staff rushed us through our meal.

Amazing barbecue spot where all the meat is prepared early in the day, so make sure you arrive before everything sells out. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and you can really feel the family spirit behind the place. We even happened to catch a live acoustic performance, which made the experience even better. Every staff member is attentive and always checks to make sure you’re taken care of. Highly recommended!
From Russia, with luv!

Let me start out by saying Hats Off to SIERRA for her great customer service! Thank you ! Brisket was great - okra was excellent. The meat on the burger basket was spoiled sent it back without any problems and no hassles. Went with the brisket plate and it was excellent.

Considering management celebrates the death of an employee’s pet, how can they hold CE meetings for veterinarians? This behavior is evil. Absolutely no justification telling anyone your pet died to escape from you, NO ONE has that right to tell another how to grieve the loss of a beloved pet or human. Till the end of time I will hold that EVIL person accountable.

Come in and enjoy the comfortable atmosphere, excellent service, and flavorful food. My chopped brisket sandwich was smoky, tender, peppery and slightly sweet. I requested to try the Joe Allen's pepper sauce and bought a bottle for home. This place is a must try!

Best steak in the west and for price, cattlemens or stockyards can't beat e
Them hands down. All of those are overpriced. Could use some interior upgrades but might lose the originality.

Joe Allen's has been around for quite a while and there a reason for that. Good barbecue, friendly wait staff. Thee last time we were in there, we had made reservations at another restaurant for a party of 8 and they didn't write it down, like a week out. The only place I could think of that could seat a table of 8 quickly was Joe Allen's. We had to wait about 5 minutes. Thank you.
