    We took some friends here that had never been. We like this restaurant. Just a neighborhood place, great food, good service. Family friendly, kid friendly without catering to kids. Very comfortable and welcoming. Our friends loved it and said they would be back. It is one of our favorites.

    Delicious food and drinks. Server was attentive. They have three TVs in the main dining area, along with a digital jukebox. Would definitely go back.

    Any chance we get, when we are in the area, we love to go to Joe's on Higgins. It's a casual place but a very nice atmosphere. The staff is excellent, especially Ashley, who has waited on us on several occasions. Very attentive and friendly. But everyone is wonderful there, as well. And wow, the food is excellent! There is not anything we've had that we didn't like. Everything is delicious. They also have take-out and a private room if you want to host a party. Highly recommend this restaurant!

    The entire evening was fantastic! They asked if we wanted to sit by the live music, which we did, and the singers took requests and engaged with us and the other patrons all night. Our server was attentive and personable. The food and drinks were delicious. We had appetizers, entrees, pizzas, dessert, even fun cocktails and beer. Joe’s on Higgins felt like a neighborhood restaurant, welcoming and friendly. We will definitely go back!
