Great Service All Around

by amandavalence44

Thank you Joe's Be Bop staff for making my first experience at your establishment a pleasant one.

From the moment I walked in the hostesses were so friendly and seemed very sincere. We sat in the bar section and our bartender was very nice. He made conversation with us on top of giving excellent service. The bus guys were right there taking away our plates when we were finished. We ordered the yardbird (dumb name, but ordered it anyway) along with the ribs. Great choice!! A little bumbed when the jazz band didn't feel like coming to work on the day I was there, so hopefully they found someone more dependable.

Highly recommend Joe's Be Bop Cafe

Good Crawfish Etouffee

by misslouisiananative

I am from Louisiana and have been trying to find a good cajun restaurant in Chicago for a year and a half. A friend of mine from Louisiana recommended this place. The crawfish etouffee was good. It was the best I have had in Chicago. Not better than Mike Anderson?s or Picadilly?s in Louisiana, but still pretty good. I had their gumbo, too, and it was just okay. They served it with jamalaya rice, which looked funny, but was okay. They didn?t server enough sausage or shrimp with it, and I don?t like that they serve it with cornbread instead of crackers. It was spicy but no real flavor. I don?t think the sausage was andoille, either. I would go back for the crawfish etouffee again.

• Pros: Good Crawfish etouffee
• Cons: A little more expensive

• Pros: Music & Pics, Good Food!!
• Cons: Long Wait

fun and tasty

by abst16

Good food and portions for a tourist location. The service was quick, food very good and the live jazz band made for a great evening. The seating was tight but that added to the club, fun atmosphere. BBQ was good, beans were different and very tasty. New York steak came well-done the first time. Yeah! Dessert menu is wonderful.

• Pros: fun atmosphere, good food, reasonably priced
• Cons: , small tables
