After hearing great things about this restaurant we decided to celebrate 3 birthdays Sat March 5. Two couples with 3 of us having a birthday all that week. We were greeted by whom I assume may have been the owner and through conversation told him we chose this place to celebrate. He stated his birthday was March 1. We all wished him a Happy Birthday. I understand being passed over for seating until the party of all (4) arrives. Serves was very good and food came out quickly. As fast as we finished dinner we were ask if we were ready for our check. Once we said no, we are not in any hurry another woman came over to us and ask if we could move to the bar due to a line out the door. Stunned by the request we all just looked at each thinking we all havent seen each other since Christmas and since dinner was over hoping to enjoy conversation with a few more drinks. Upon not saying anything for that brief moment she ask again. The wife of the couple we were with stated I guess so. After being seated at the bar the same woman who ask us to leave stated "its more fun at the bar anyway". Not sure how because I ended only talking with my girlfriend for the night while my husband sat 2 seats away from me talking to his right the whole night with my friends husband. So it really wasnt the evening we had planned. Now one might think maybe they could have offered a free round of drinks for the inconvenience but no. Although us 2 women only had a drink each while our husbands drank for the evening we ended up with a $110 bill and did stay from 6:15pm until 9:45pm. Looking back on it after my husband & I got home we should have said no, we were paying customers just like the next round of people. I have never in my life been ask to leave my table once I arrived. I will give this place one more try. If this happens again Im done giving them my business.

It was our second visit to Joey Bs. Fantastic service! The wait staff is very attentive. First time I had a burger and it was great; one friend had the "yuengling battered fish" sandwich; it was NOT batter dipped; it was clearly just breaded fish! My other friend had the "lobster" special over pasta ($29.99!!!!!); the lobster did not taste fresh (and the odor was obvious) and there were parts of the lobster in the pastas sauce that should NEVER be included. Todays visit I had a salad and it was also very good. However, my companions had separate pizzas and specifically asked for "crispy" crust being its baked in a wood burning pizza oven. When the pizzas were brought to the table they looked great; but after lifting the first slice out of each, the dough was raw! The top crust of the pizza was browned well, however, the bottom of the crust was actually white on the bottom and raw to the taste! We found it hard to believe that such a thinned crust pizza could possibly be turned out raw after being baked in a wood fired pizza oven! We said nothing in order to give Joey Bs the benefit of the doubt, however will not be visiting again. Gave the place two chances; not giving it a third time!

This place has the best food in the area but beware!!! We good here regularly for its good food. They have great burgers, pizzas & wings. This is my brother-in-laws favorite place to get a burger. Just so you know this place is small so you will have to wait especially during weekends. I would like to warn you though to skip the Large Calzone. One time my son got it filled the plate the next time he got it it was about the size of a Hot Pocket. He left the place still healing hungry. We asked if they made a mistake & accidentally gave him a small instead of a large. We were told "No the girl who made them today has small hands so it came out smaller". What does someones hand size have to do with how big a Calzone turns out? Nothing would be the answer. They should have a template so that they know & the customer knows what they are getting when they order the different sized Pizzas & Calzones. If they changed the Large Calzone to about the size of a Hot Pocket what does the Small look like now a Pizza Bite? The soups here are good but beware they are think. My wifes favorite is the Pierogi Soup. They do take reservations for large parties.

I go here a lot. Its my favorite place in town on a Friday or Saturday Night. Its hard to find a fun place with decent, food, strong , drinks and decent looking men, but this place is where I go :) If I just to rock out with some good food, or get silly and loaded, heres the place. I love the energy and vibe here. The bartenders are hilarious and talk to everybody. Some people dont like a louder atmosphere but Im a wild gal so I jive with it. Theres enough places in this town to be quite and docile. If I want to be quiet Ill go to the park, when I want to party I go here. I prefer their burgers over their steaks though, but Im partial to burgers anyway. Their wings are top notch, and nine times out of ten I have a hankering for wings when I go out. See you tonight yall!

Local dive bar... Went there with my wife at 8:30pm on a Saturday and the kitchen was ALREADY closed. On top of that there was no table service for drinks. The staff appear lazy and they will ignore you if they dont recognize you as a local. The night we went the owner, his wife and daughter were behind the small bar area, not one of them greeted me or my wife as we walked in and waited to be seated, we ultimately seated ourselves. No one asked what we wanted to drink and the bar had only two other couples in there at the time. I couldve gone to TGI Fridays and received better treatment. This place is a waste of time.

Havent been to Joey Bs in maybe 22 years. I knew it as a great local pub to have a drink. I was out riding my Polaris Slingshot and stopped by today, Chip and Cherie are still the owners, great people. They now have food service and have expanded with an outdoor area. There was 3 of us, we all had something different, and everything was fantastic! I will definitely make this a regular stop when riding in the mountains and during the winter, after skiing at Blue Mountain. Give it a try if you havent! Looking forward to going back.

Wanted to try because of reviews. Arrived with only a few couples in line ahead of us. Host was very rude. I have a name and do not appreciate being called by what my shirt says. Wait was approx. 20 minutes according to host. 20 minutes later host came out expecting us to sit at bar. I told him no, we would like a table. He became flustered and told us it was going to be a while if we wont sit at bar. We left and went to another local restaurant that knows how to treat their customers. I would have given 0 stars if i could have.
