It is better than you'd expect.
I've only been here once, gotten the flight of Flying Dog beers and had their burger on special ($6 burger and fries not from McDonalds? Yes, please.) Â The burger was very tasty and sizable. Â I will say I ordered it medium and it probably came out closer to med-well/well done; however, the burger was still juicy so it was OK with me. Â The fries were a little pathetic in that they weren't crispy.
Considering you're in small-town America, I really just want a good rotating beer selection (CHECK), tasty food specials (CHECK) and a place that seems like a fun time (CHECK).
Also, you're at a bar... this ain't fine dining people. Â I am considering moving to Port, and would be happy to call this place my regular bar/restaurant when I'm not feeling pretentious (coincidentally, if you are feeling pretentious, Laurrapin in Havre de Grace is very good).
We happened to come out here on Easter Sunday. We'd been hiking on the other side of the river and wanted to pop in somewhere for lunch. They were open, and I was pleased to find that salsa and chips come out for you to nibble on. I had a burger, which was ok. Nothing to knock my socks off, one of our party had the brisket which made me intensely jealous. My husband ordered nachos which were about $8 thinking he'd get "a typical appetizer size" (see dinner plate) of nachos. OMG, this plate was the size of a child and it was covered with re fried beans and shredded pork, chicken, beef, you name it. It was intense.
All in all, we liked the atmosphere, the prices and if I lived nearby we'd likely be regulars by now.
It says a place you can bring kids, not true. Â My kids are older in their teens, Â from the outside looked good and we had been told to come here, that it was a nice place. It was a Sunday afternoon. Â We were seated in the restaurant, looked nice inside, but then it started 6 obnoxious people obviously, DRUNK, were seated near us and there language was sexual, about how big so and so P is, etc. One woman who was obviously drunk was laughing so loud it just went threw you. I wanted to go up to her and tell her, that she was not the only person in the restaurant and she needs to go home and sleep it off. Our server was very nice. Â A man at there table snapped his finger and I think, even whistle at her to come over to them. Â I was discussed that he would treat her like that. Â But, she kept serving them drinks. Â Our food was horrible, my food was cold and tasted old and my husband food had a bad after taste, he order the pork and ribs, I ordered the Jambalaya. Â Tasted like old seafood. Â I like to have fun just as much as anyone else, but when you become a nuisance to the other patron in the restaurant. Â Someone in charge should handle the situation and send them on their way. Â Maybe call them a cab.
Review Source:mmmmmmmmm....ohh I'm sorry..loved the Burger , loved it. Â Came here on a cold Sunday just because I have heard that the burgers are great...Boy, were they right. Â We were the first ones in but it was cool becasue you could appriciate the decor. Â Our bartender came out immediately and started a conversation. Â I ordered a Bloody mary and let me tell you..it hit the spot. Â My burger was right on point, just like I ordered it. Â Several locals walked in and treated me like I was one of them. Â Joe's Crog is a must check out.
Review Source:i've heard many good things about this place. We were on our way to Prost when we realized they were only open Wed - Sun so we decided on Joe's. The chips and salsa were very good. We got a small crab pretzel which was amazing. I made the mistake of getting crab/shrimp enchiladas...now, the shrimp and crab was delicious but there was so much old bay style sauce it pretty much over powered the whole dish. My beans and rice were god awful...extremely dry! All in all I'd be willing to give this place a second chance. It's my fault I guess...i should know better than to order something semi mexican from a bar...
Review Source:We are trying them all in Port. Today we tried this place and wow... awesome! Pitcher of beer for $6 and I had the Jambalaya. Very authentic and great tasting with big Crawfish (see pic I posted). She had the Tacos and again just great. Our server was very good so we will be back to try a few more dishes!!!
Review Source:Now here's another update of the hit in the hit-or-miss review. Rolled up there on Monday where burgers are 1/2 price. gave it another try. The jukebox here is pretty cool if you can wrangle it form the high schoolers and their...whatever it is they listen to these days. Â Most nights this is a drinking your problems away-type country ass jukebox and I can get with that.
1. They still had Sam's Summer Brew on tap and the prices are very reasonable.
2. the burger nights have a theme. The chef has a special burger you can try, or have it your way. Tonight was avocado and cole slaw burger. Huh?? I would never put those together and can't really imagine what it would be like...So what the hell. Order it up.
I ordered it medium rare remembering the last burger I got here I was not satisfied with.
3. On the second round of Sam's the burger came out and was cooked to perfection! The avacado/cole slaw incident proved to be a surprising taste combo that really worked for me. I'd never pick it from a menu but a leap of faith had rewarded me.
4. A Yankee fan from Jersey was sitting next to me and upset that ESPN was playing the Mets/Braves game rather than the Yanks/Blue Jays game...But A.Rod is at 599 HR's! This could be the night!
5. I love it when Yankee fans don't get their way.
I absolutely love the design and feel of the decorations at this restaurant. The exposed stone look and open layout are amazingly inviting. Food is of a BBQ and Cajun-Mex style. The food ranges from good to well above average. Night time they have a limited "fried food" bar menu.
I've had the BBQ on several occasions and always been very pleased with the food. Above average beer selection for a little local bar with the obligatory Clipper City rebranded "House Ale".
If you do visit, I'd recommend coming in before 8 or 9 Thursday-Saturday. On the weekend it becomes a very young crowd that seems mostly intent on drinking heavily, playing pool and spending money on the jukebox. It's not the crowd that someone who would be coming in for a nice dinner would probably want to deal with.
