I've never been to Stan and Joe's before - either the original saloon on West Street in Annapolis or the new "saloon" in Edgewater.  Maybe they are better at live music than food but we went at 6 PM on a Saturday for dinner.  The bar was crowded and stayed that way - although the bachelorette party that came in only stayed for one drink.  The restaurant was not crowded - we should have known then.  Two of us ordered burgers and were satisfied.  One of us ordered Irish pasta - whatever that is.  The special was prime rib and three of us ordered it.  To say it was underwhelming would be kind.  My two friends really couldn't even decide if they had been served beef - they thought it might be a porkchop.  It was dry and  tasteless.  The waitress was totally confused by a request for "au jus".  I'm pretty sure my food was beef but I'm really bad at cooking and could have done better.  It was served with a vegetable medley (green beans, broccoli,  and really big carrot disks and a salad (iceberg lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, onion, cheese.  I don't think I've ever been served a prime rib with no potato.  The waitress pretty much disappeared when she figured out we weren't going to order lots of alcohol - never asked if things were alright and refills of the drinks we had were non-existent.  We were there to celebrate a birthday and not only did they have no cake there were no desserts at all.  We left as the band started setting up.  I'm not a real noise person and the volume of the music before the band geared up was uncomfortable for me.  The building this business is in is only about five years old and still the bathroom was decrepit and could have used a good cleaning.  Maybe for a sports bar (13 TVs) and music its good but don't go for the food.
