Absolutely fantastic evening at Joe's Waterfront! 🍔🦞🍺

We're visiting from Germany and stopped by for dinner right on the harbor – what a great choice! Everything we had was delicious. The burger was outstanding: juicy, perfectly cooked and full of flavor – honestly one of the best we've had on this trip! The lobster roll was fresh and generously filled, exactly what you hope for in Boston. 🦞

The drinks were great too – the beer was nice and cold 🍺 and the lemonade was refreshing 🍋.

Big thanks to our server Joshua for the friendly and attentive service! 🙌 Great location with a beautiful view of the water, relaxed atmosphere and fair prices.

Highly recommended – we'd come back anytime! 👍❤️

Great first experience at Joe’s!

It was our first time in Boston, and we’re so glad we chose to dine here. The food was delicious, the portions were great, and everything we ordered was satisfying. The staff were also friendly and attentive, which made our dinner even more enjoyable.

My friends and I had such a wonderful time and definitely don’t regret choosing Joe’s. We’ll absolutely come back the next time we’re in Boston!

Shoutout to our server for making our night extra special and memorable! Definitely a place worth trying!

We stopped by Joe’s Waterfront after trying a few other places that had long wait times, and they were able to seat the two of us immediately—which was definitely a plus! We sat outside in the sunshine. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much shade, but we were happy to get seated so quickly.

Our waitress was okay. When I ordered the Back Bay Sangria, they were out of it, and she seemed a little impatient while I decided on another drink. She came back later, and I ended up getting the Mango Mule, which was delicious!

We decided to share the Crab Benedict and then go somewhere else for a better atmosphere. The food was good, but it wasn’t quite as delicious or memorable as some of the other places we’ve tried. We did get the check very fast.

Overall, it was an okay experience. I’d recommend it if you’re hungry and want to get seated somewhere quickly without a long wait. We didn’t have a bad experience, but it also wasn’t anything we would rave about. We probably wouldn’t go back, but it definitely served its purpose!

The service was attentive and friendly. We ordered the shrimp scampi with linguine, baby back ribs and battered fish with fries. All 3 entrees were perfect. Our experience was a great one!

Oh~quite disappointed with you, Joe!
The staff is very welcoming and friendly, but they are also short staffed, we’ve waited for our spoon after they served our soup.
The presentation of each dish is stunning, but the flavors don’t quite match. More confusing, each dish was served only room temperature-warm, not hot, from clam chowder to captain’s platter, which significantly affected dining experience. We were concerned about the quality but we did not have any stomach issues, just so bizarre. Spent over $100 for mediocre food.
Overall, nice view, great staff, but not recommended
