What People Are Saying About Joe's Seafood
The Editor

Citysearch
The Scene – Big, loud and masculine, Joe's is a throwback to the days of the country-club restaurant--complete with a pompadour-coiffed, tuxedo-clad host. Mirrors make the large wraparound dining room seem enormous, and the place buzzes with a comfortable mix of white collars, tourists and society types. Table servers are consummate pros, casual and friendly but assuredly capable. – – The Food – Joe's signature is its fresh, meaty stone crab claws; an assortment of other seafood and steak dishes fill out the menu. Dig into the "2nd Mortgage" appetizer platter,…

AWUL service great seafood
by adwoa14 at Citysearch
This was an awful dining experience. The only good thing about it was they have the most tasty scallops and spinach! Valet was rude, Our waiter took 20 mins to come to the table to even take drink orders, some of the food came over burnt, the waiter was unwilling to accomodate our meal requests, etc an all around awful dining experience. We spoke to the manager, and he only offered free dessert, which we didn't want, and he took off one of the burnt dishes, and AWFUL mac & cheese from the bill. After the mgr wasn't apologetic for the awful service we'd had (it took 45 mins to even get our order in) we were left with having to dock the tip with a note as to why. We will NEVER be back here.
- Pros: the scallops are to die for!
- Cons: the service is AWFUL

Great service, great food
by addictedtocolor at Citysearch
My boyfriend and I ate here over the holiday weekend and even though the prices were a little high, the food was amazing!! The waiter we had doted on us all night long and even though it was pretty crowded we didn't feel like we got lost in the crowd, as you do with some other restaurants.
This is a great place to go eat when you want to splurge on a meal but it is expensive for 2 when you have drinks and a full meal.
It is a MUST to try while in Chicago.
- Cons: price

food was just ok, overpriced
by jeffeatworld at Citysearch
The food at Joe's was just ok, and definitely not worth the steep price tag. I went with my friend and we started with the shrimp and scallop ceviche. It was decent, although the fish didn't seem super fresh.
For entree, I had a 12 oz fillet, my friend had the stone crab. The steak was cooked well, but not well seasoned, and overall pretty boring. It arrive by itself on the plate, looking very lonely with only a piece of curly leaf parsley to keep it company. The stone crab did not taste fresh. The potatoes weren't bad.
The best part of meal was dessert, we shared banana cream pie, which was actually pretty good. But overall, this meal was not worth the $100 price tag.
- Pros: service
- Cons: food
