Reviews
The restaurant itself is massive and very nicely decorated. Great for a walk-in as there’s so may seating options!
The food was decent but nothing special. I appreciated that the spinach and artichoke dip ($18) had a good amount of vegetables and wasn’t overly heavy. The nachos ($18) were decent, but I would probably add chicken next time (which was an additional $8). The brussels sprouts ($13) were very sweet and oily, pretty standard.
Service was good and the energy from everyone watching the game was great! It’s not cheap or amazing food, but it was a nice place to watch the game.
Spinach and artichoke dip($18) – chips are crunchy and warm but some chips on the bottom are stale, nice amount of dip
Pan-Roasted Salmon’ ($27) – the salmon was a bit too salty for my taste but when combined with the rice and lemon butter sauce, was a little bit better than normal. The jasmine rice was normal nothing to write home about, asparagus is a bit thicker than the normal slimmer ones I usually eat.
Overall, the atmosphere here is great and looks are 10/10 and I don’t think I’ll come back for the salmon.
Unfortunately, there were several downsides. The downstairs area was extremely hot. Everyone was dressed in normal attire – pants, long sleeves, or short sleeves, but it was uncomfortably warm. I’m not sure if it was the specific booth we were seated in or if the heat is typically turned up to compensate for the upstairs area.
The service, while friendly, was very slow. As for the food and drinks, my friends ordered espresso martinis and cosmos, both of which were not good. Lastly, my friend ordered a burger medium rare, and it came out almost entirely pink (see attached photo).
All in all, I would not recommend this restaurant for dining.
Cesar salad was delicious with nicely crunchy crotons, quinoa salad was great and portions are quite good too.
Kids pasta was perfect and portions were very generous
Scampi pasta was also great. Overall food is great. The seating was a bit uncomfortable and the restaurant was crammed with people which made it difficult for those of us sitting by the bar or the side tables as it’s too narrow for people to go in and out
The menu focuses on classic American comfort food with a slightly upscale touch. Dishes like the Maine lobster roll, burgers, steak tips, and New England clam chowder are popular choices, and everything is made from scratch with fresh ingredients. I tried a seafood dish and it was flavorful and well-prepared, with generous portions.
Service was friendly and efficient even when the restaurant was busy. The vibe feels casual but polished, so it works well for brunch, lunch, or dinner with friends.
Overall, Joe’s on Newbury is a dependable spot for classic American food in a great Boston location—comfortable, lively, and perfect for a relaxed meal after walking around Back Bay.
