Reviews For Joe's Bar & Grill

The restaurant is rather cozy inside, and rather American in its decor. I really liked the atmosphere! The steak I had was pretty good, though there was a little too much oil over the tomatoes and salad. The brownie and ice cream were also very good, though you might want to get more water due to the richness of the brownie. The fish and chips were also a good value too, and the chunky chips are very tasty. The service was also lovely too.

Went for the burger Monday and really loved it! Really affordable and great selection of drinks and lovely burger! The Oxford sauce was really nice and the outside environment was lovely as well. Would love to try other dishes in the future as well. Having some heating outside could be even nicer. Staff was really lovely as well! Will be back :)

had a great experience at Joe's Bar & Grill. The food was delicious, with a good variety on the menu to choose from. The staff was really friendly and made sure we were well taken care of, plus the service was impressively quick. The overall atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, making it a perfect spot for a meal. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

Great place to eat yummy soups (a paprika and tomato soup is absolutely the best! . Unfortunately they have no dairy alternatives for your coffee, but drinks and meals are tasty. Also, there is live jazz music once or twice a week, so definitely worth visiting for a date or with friends to chill out over a glass of wine

Had a great Saturday brunch at Joes!! Very spacious dining area. Like the classic diner decoration. Food was amazing - the French toast is very good! Mocha’s good too. Service is great and fast internet. Will definitely come back to check out the Tuesday burger deal!

I came here with my parents for brunch, and none of us were particularly hungry so we all ended up having eggs on toast. Which is why I am able to say with absolute certainty that they know how to do their eggs here; I was also pleased that our plates were warmed! I also had a delicious double macchiato which was perfectly balanced between strength and flavour. (I've been here in the past and had more substantial meals, so the 5* isn't solely based on the quality of their eggs).

I went to Burger club on Tuesday and had the sirloin burger. It was extremely tasty and the service was wonderful. I will be going back to see the musical entertainment very soon.

Had the clam chowder and it was delicious! We also had the brownie and the sticky toffee pudding! Both brilliant! Service is great, very friendly staff. Really recommend the Primitivo wine as well.
