I have been here many times over the years. Had brunch two weekends ago which was phenomenal with lovely service and got take out for dinner tonight. Never done that before but everyone was so helpful and sweet as I didn’t know where I was going 🤣 only ever been on the bar side.
Joe's is the perfect family restaurant 😍!! The menu has something for everyone. Unassuming decor, great service, good food, and a bar 🍸 🍺!! Soup-of-the-day was hot and delicious, bread 🍞 basket 🧺 served without asking, Chicken 🐔 Sammy was huge, Salad fresh, and sides tasty 😋!!! And large portions that don't break the bank 🏧💸! Stop by and enjoy their hospitality.....
Sure it's not your glamour white table cloth Michelin restaurant. But this is all about homey late night eat. Few eateries in Richmond operates this late. The no frill carb heavy menu hits the spot for those had a few extra glasses and missed 9pm dinner cutoff at most downtown food choices... Small but friendly staff with hearty portioned food, this 70+ years old local legend will remain my favorite regardless what my wife thinks😁😁😁!!!!!
Came in for an early lunch. Food was delicious. The portions are large. Good selection of beverages.
I enjoyed lunch here with a group of four. I had the homemade crab cake sandwich with fries. The sandwich was delicious but the fries were the shoestring type and not my favorite. Others had the meatball sub and a pastrami sandwich which they loved. The peanut butter, key lime, and coconut pies were yummy. Service was fast and friendly.

Richmond's late-night legend serving hearty comfort food since 1952.
