About This Spot
Stepping into Joe’s Bar & Grill in North Myrtle Beach feels a bit like settling into the best kind of comfortable conversation—warm, unhurried, and just the right balance of lively and relaxed. The rustic wood tones, soft lighting, and thoughtful layout invite you to unwind, whether you’re here for a casual dinner or a special occasion. It’s the kind of place where neighbors and newcomers alike share a familiar sense of belonging, and where attentive service quietly enhances the experience without ever rushing the moment.
The pace here allows the flavors to shine and the conversation to flow. You’ll find that the menu mirrors this thoughtful approach—anchored in fresh seafood and elevated by thoughtful pairings and subtle complexity. Whether it’s the delicate balance of a snapper with just the right salsa or the confident, smoky notes accompanying a perfectly prepared rib eye, each plate feels like it was composed with both care and a inviting sense of adventure. And the craft beer selection, featuring local favorites alongside reliable classics, rounds out the meal in a way that encourages lingering just a little longer.
For those who have dined here before, the familiarity of the atmosphere comes with the feeling that every visit is welcomed, every table thoughtfully managed, even when the evening fills up. The rhythm of the service reflects genuine attentiveness, where the staff anticipates needs gently and steps away as soon as a moment of privacy is desired.

Joe’s Bar & Grill has a fantastic atmosphere and a cozy, welcoming environment that makes it easy to see why it’s so highly rated. From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. The rustic charm, comfortable seating, and inviting lighting created the perfect backdrop for what we hoped would be a great dining experience. The service was excellent — our server was exceptionally attentive, friendly, and clearly took pride in making sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. That level of care is something you don’t find everywhere and really stood out. Unfortunately, the kitchen seemed to have an off night. While each plate was beautifully presented and arrived looking perfect, the execution fell short of expectations. We had a party of six, and only one dinner was prepared exactly as ordered. The $38 ribeye steaks, ordered medium-rare, came out closer to medium-well. One filet mignon was very overcooked and tough, while the other was practically raw. That said, given Joe’s reputation and the many positive reviews from others, I truly believe this was just an unusual night. The setting, service, and presentation all suggest a team that takes pride in what they do, so we’ll definitely give it another try. This time around, I’d rate it a 7 out of 10, but I’m confident that next time it could easily be a 10 out of 10.

This restaurant far exceeded my expectations! Excellent and professional service from start to finish. We were with a large group and the flow of the drinks and meals was seamless and uniform. Our waitress was so helpful and professional and had answers to everything we asked and was very attentive to drinks and checking back in for our party of 25-30 people. He had the mussels and the sauce on them had a spicy edge too them but not over the top spicy, just perfect. I had the pork ribeye steak cooked medium well with sweet potato and it was so good. The pork was cooked perfect and moist and the bed of potato was uniquely flavorful. He had the steak Diane and also was cooked to perfection and very moist. The atmosphere is very semi upscale - home like with a great view of the marsh and nice fireplace.

Joe's has been a local favorite for many years. The food is upscale with service to match. We had a party of 12 which they accommodated easily. Service was outstanding and food was perfect even with a couple of special requests. You should give Joe's a try, you won't be disappointed.

Three of us dined here for my son's birthday dinner. I would highly recommend making reservations particularly in the summer. We were seated immediately upon arrival with reservations, and the service provided by Gary was excellent. Even though the restaurant was full and he had a full range of tables, he provided fast, knowledgeable service and was always at our table a moment before we realized we needed something. The restaurant, tables, and dishware were exceedingly clean, as were the restrooms. They have full alcohol service including a wide range of wine and beers. Warm bread, crackers, cheese and butter were served along with water immediately upon sitting. All of the food was absolutely delicious, and we chose appetizers and dinner. Everything was served exactly as ordered and the seafood and the prime rib were expertly cooked. We couldn't have been more pleased with our meals and definitely understood why Joe's has such a sterling reputation in this area. My compliments to everyone at Joe's Bar and Grill

Came here on a complete whim because we were hungry and the website said it's been here for over 30 years. They did not disappoint! The food was phenomenal! The service was exceptional and the atmosphere was perfect, we could talk, it was well lit, it smelled amazing. I look forward to coming back next time we are here!

This place was very good. The service was outstanding. I’ll be honest, when the food came out I didn’t think it looked that great- but the taste was amazing. We had beef short ribs, shrimp and grits and bacon wrapped scallops. The shrimp and grits were ok, I’ve had better but it was still really good. I’d come back to try more menu items! The decor was really outdated but, again, service was great and food was good!
