“ This charming and laid back spot is a true gem in port Isabel. Wonderful location near the lighthouse, the food is beyond fresh, the menu is varied and the service is top notch. Food arrives quickly and piping hot, overall a fabulous experience. Special mention to crab fingers and market price items. ”
“ This is the quintessential seafood restaurant, all business no fluff. It's about the seafood. Plenty of parking. ”
“ As a former Doctor Who fan, I can say without a doubt that Joe's is a TARDIS of a restaurant. Not much to look at in the outside, but DAMN does she open up and clean up on the inside. This place appears to be owned and operated by some very hard-working vatos bringing fresh seafood to locals and tourists alike. White collar, blue collar - you will see both here. We had some fresh oysters - meaty and briny - a great start to the meal. I had the Nick's Plate, which normally comes fried, but I was offered the grilled option. Score. Perfectly seasoned and prepared flounder accompanied by grilled shrimp, grilled oysters, and stuffed crab. Amazing! We also had the Stuffed Jalapeño- something unique to this establishment - a gigantic jalapeño stuffed with seafood (shrimp, fish, and crab), lightly beaded and fried. It is HUGE and worth every penny. The service here was great - hard workers who look out for their customers and make sure they want to come back again. We certainly do. ”
“ Definitely the best meal we've had during our stay at SPI. Everything was fresh, cooked/prepared perfectly and affordable. We were however shocked by the price of their oysters. $28.99 for a dozen oysters on a half shell is outrageous! They were fresh alright but man, were they expensive! Aside from the oysters, we also tried the following: * Crab fingers - grilled and dipped in butter is the way to go. Yum! * Fried shrimp platter * Joey's deluxe seafood platter * Grilled fish, shrimp and oyster platter All the meals were served with fries, coleslaw and dinner roll. Everything was fresh and delicious. Service was good. All the staff were really nice and helpful. This is one place we will definitely come visit the next time we're in the area but I'll make sure to check their price for oysters first. ”
“ Joe's does it right, EVERY TIME. Been coming here for years I am originally from Brownsville, Texas and happy to say you will not be disappointed dining here. This family owned business takes great pride in what they do and you can taste it in every dish. Had the great pleasure of having the crab fingers as an appetizer, it normally comes with cocktail sauce but I recommend asking for a side of melted butter to dip those babies in. Their menu has an array of seafood options and is sure to tickle anyone's fancy. The service was nothing short of excellent. Super attentive and friendly. This place is deeply rooted in the community, you'll notice locals all around and for good reason. Super welcoming, relaxed ambiance, and great food, what's not to like? Joe's remains a mandatory go-to when I'm hitting up the island. Support local! ”
“ The spot where the fishermen go! You can order fresh seafood, or bring your catch in for the staff to cook any way you'd like. Can't go wrong with the Joey's Deluxe Seafood platter. Recommend grilled. Two fish fillets, 4 shrimp, 4 oysters, and a stuffed crab. All for $16! Oh and with fries and coleslaw. ”
“ This place is a dive bar and includes a little deli/meat market to buy fresh seafood and other foods. From the outside, it appears small but once inside, there are plenty of tables to sit. We went in the early evening, right before the major dinner rush. When we arrived, a gentleman directed us to find a table and a waiter would come to take our order. I settled on the Grilled Nathan Special, which includes 1 fish fillet, 1 crab cake and 4 shrimp. That comes with coleslaw and French fries. Everything was delicious. No complaints at all. Overall, based on atmosphere, food and service, I think 4 stars is sufficient. ”
