We've eaten here several times when in town. The staff is so attentive and friendly. Authentic pierogi are the star of the show and in NC, a needle in a haystack. Aside from traditional potato and cheese, there's a rotating selection of some that are out of the ordinary. My spouse got the foot long Nathan's hot dog with crinkle fries and was very happy with both. I got the havarti and dill filled pierogi and some that were filled loaded baked potato style. I'm not sure why they were swimming in a butter sauce and smothered in onions, but the sour cream was underneath the pierogi so could barely be tasted. I also got the Polish tacos that use a pierogi shell and is filled with kielbasa, sauerkraut and topped with horsey sauce. It all tasted good at first, but it wasn't until both the tacos and pierogi were nearly cooled down that I noticed how very salty it all was. It took me hours to quench my thirst. read more

Food is good and they make fresh pierogis every day and their service is good. Not a great location as they are in a strip mall but I would recommend just because of the pierogis read more

This place is a must. One of the bigger menus in the area, amazing service, sports bar feel, and delicious food! We love it here and honestly wish we would come down more often. read more

The popcorn shrimp was great, As a restaurant employee myself the breader was seaoned and pretty good,

If this establishment is supposed to be an homage to Pittsburgh, they have fallen very short. Don't come in hungry, the food is nasty - nothing close to what Pittsburgh food tastes like. Pittsburgh would be embarrassed to have their name associated with this place. Pretzels were microwaved, super rubbery and just look at the cheese. Nachos were goopy - just gross! Total waste of money. Also, they don't put prices on their menu which is just wierd. read more

Great place for Steelers fans and, honestly, anyone who likes great food at a great price with a hometown "I belong" vibe.

Nice local place with fun staff & patrons! Weekly events, reasonable beverage $, and great food.

I lived in Pennsylvania for years and developed quite an affinity for pierogies. Up until now, I've only ever seen the Mrs. T's in the south so when I heard about this place called Joe's that had not only pierogies but an ENTIRE Pittsburgh style menu, we hopped in car the next day and headed out. Make no mistake this is a PA spot with the Steelers decor and, of course, because no PA bar would ever not have Yuengling on tap. We settled in and started with some traditional Cheddar pierogies and also some ghost pepper ones. Served with a generous dollop of whipped cream, the ghost pepper ones were hot but absolutely delicious! They have a selection of 4 that rotates daily so I'll def be stopping back to try some more! My husband had a burger which a generous patty cooked perfectly and really juicy. I chose from the Pittsburgh menu and had the Steel City Chipped Ham sandwich. I elected to have mine hot but you can also have it served cold. Lettuce, tomato, and generous amount of American cheese melted on top made this a meal I was able to enjoy twice since it was so big. The Pittsburgh menu also has a Steelworker stack where you can choose between Meats including pastrami and Philly Cheesesteak. All in all, we got a ton of really good and perfectly prepared food for a very reasonable price. Crowd seems laid back and local, I can see why it's a popular spot. We will definitely hit again soon! read more

Here is the story... we spend a lot of time in Carolina Beach as it's our second home. And have passed by the non-descriptive strip mall many times that is home to Joe's. Fast forward to Man v Food visiting for the pierogi challenge and we had to find out more. First, what the heck is a pierogi and second where is Joe's? Joe's is in that strip mall anchored by a Food Lion between Wilmington and the bridge to CB (Carolina Beach). Second, a pierogi is a carb loaded comfort food with Central/Eastern European roots. And in the US has strong ties to Pittsburgh and other immigrant areas. When combined with other savory items like onions or peppers can make a filling meal but many times is considered a side with a protein entree. And last while possible to finish, I would not recommend trying the Man v Food Challenge of 2.5 pounds of bread and potatoes. read more

Consistency in American comfort food, 1/2 lb burgers actually cooked rare. Excellent onion rings! Can no longer get delivery, I guess they are too busy. read more

Great all around pub and restaurant. Good menu. Great drink choices. Friendly staff. Love the chance to play keno.

The fries were amazing The burger was mediocre Whatever you do, do not order the nachos they are garbage they tried to make a béchamel cheese sauce. That was just a roux that wasn't cooked thoroughly then they put uncooked black beans on top And the ranch was basically water though The server didn't really do much But smoke and stand around Nice guy though Ambiance - Kinda dingy wouldn't think it was a restaurant just walking by read more

Good place to go if you don't care about getting COVID..... When i asked my server to put on a mask she refused and said they "aren't participating in that". I left the place and called in for the owner who never returned the call request. If the waitress, who was the bartender BTW, wouldn't mask up under a government mandate.. do you think there's any protection for your food from a sneeze or someones nasal drip.... Too bad... I won't be back read more

The red wine comes in a can and is absolutely horrible. I ordered a drink with club soda instead and it was so flat it just looked like water. No carbonation at all. There is no effort being put into this place right now. read more

10/10 this place is the best. Foods amazing. Owner is very Sweet. Great atmosphere. Please please please come give this place a chance it's amazing. read more

Joe's has a nice large menu and the food has always been good. The staff is great and very friendly. We normally go in for lunch on Saturday's and the other patrons are always so much fun, we've met some great people. Definitely worth checking out if you want to get away from the hustle of the tourist spots. read more

3.5 stars I liked Joe's! It's in the area that used to occupy the Boars'Head. The inside was well lit with a definite sports bar feel. You could tell the owner was a steeler fan but all different sports teams were represented. They had the Itunes jukebox which we like. They seemed to be plenty of seating, and we choose the bar as we usually do! They appeared to have several drink specials each night beer and liquor. I went with the IPA on special. Ok selection of draft beers- not a lot of craft stuff, which is our thing. On the suggestion of one of the locals I went with the pierogi appetizer and damn was that good! I did half pizza stuffed and half Reuben . I heard the cheeseburger ones were even better but they were 86ed. Hubby had the pretzels bites and they were very good- warm and buttery with a beer cheese dipping sauce- sauce was not quite what we were used to but it was ok! We were so full we ordered the Onion ring with fries burger to go to be taken home and split later, but alas , I feel asleep. Hubby said it was good though.....next time!! We were given a punch card with some punches on it to use on our next visit and we will got back! Everyone was very welcoming and friendly with out being obnoxious and overbearing. read more

Lively atmosphere. Fresh food. A local's go to. Visited for the first time on a Sunday afternoon. Was able to walk in and sit right at a table. Music on speakers was a bit loud inside, but at least it was good music! Current customers seemed to be locals that primarily hung out at the bar. I wouldn't necessarily call this restaurant "family friendly " yet a casual place worthwhile visiting with friends. Lots of variety on menu and food came out fresh. read more

Absolutely love this place!!! I call it a" hole in the wall " because it's not a franchise and it's located with Masonboro Commons- normally ppl overlook these type places. Is a nice bar- they make great drinks and have a lot of drink specials but they are known for their homemade pirogies. They make all kinds and have daily specials- but you better order them early because they sell out!!! My favorite are the ghost pepper pirogies. Their EMS are awesome and so is their stuffed cabbage!!! read more

My mom and I stopped here for a late lunch around 3 pm. We sat down at one of the only clean tables. We waited for over 5 minutes. I went up and stood at the bar to get someone's attention. The lady apologized and said she didn't see us. She brought the menus over and while that was happening a very buzzed man yelled to turn the music up. They turns the music up so loud it was insane. The car crowd here (no game on) was a little rowdy for this time of the day. I felt like it was a Friday night. A family came in with a child and she was holding her ears because of the music. I love the fact that this is a Steelers place and being fro Pittsburgh myself they know great food. Speaking of great food- the food was excellent! I had a chef salad and it was huge! The pierogis were some of the best I have had outside of Pittsburgh. Definitely the best in town! The chili was good with a kick of spice. I really loved the food and would have given this place a much better rating of it was an enjoyable eating experience. Also, when we left there were 4 people standing right at the front door smoking. It was so gross. I recommend take out if you just want the great good. read more

I have not written a bad review since Covid started because restaurants have taken enough. However I ordered a salad and pierogies to go and was really, really underwhelmed for the cost. The large house salad had wilted/old lettuce for $7.25 and 4 pierogies were $10. The pierogies were highway robbery. 6 for $10 I could see because that's still $1.66 per pierogi and enough to cover overhead while making a profit. Just really blegh experience with this place. read more

Out for a ride after Nikolai's apt. We stumbled across Joe's Oasis. (Pittsburgh style Bar) Being originally from the Pittsburgh area, when we find one we stop. Iron City, Pierogies and Steel town stacks! We got more than enough to eat. (Taking some home) Brought Nikolai , outside seating is pup friendly. (Shady) Immediately brought him a big bowl of ice water and a scratch behind the ears. Everyone's take on the area food is different but, we quite enjoyed it. (The owners are from the area) I would stop buy again and try something else. We had fish sandwich (COD) and burgers with slaw. read more

Staff and clientele were friendly, more friendly than most places around. Fun time and big time Pittsburgh Steelers!!

I never write bad reviews, but when it is warranted, it is warranted. Well, today is one of those days. Placed an order to go for the family. Came to pick up the order, and the bartender, who could careless, was like sorry the kitchen cancelled your order. Asked if could place the order now since I was there. Same bartender was like nope. Funny part is the restaurant was busy with other people placing orders. Due to the "I could careless" attitude of this place, I will never step-in or place an order here ever. After seeing how they treat customers, I can only imagine how the food is prepared. Bottom line, don't go. read more

We ordered Joe's Oasis today, yes on Christmas, to go. My daughter's fajitas and my chicken pasta was half of a portion. We were missing our garlic bread and sour cream when we got home. My pasta sauce was runny and the fajitas subpar. Thankfully, my husbands Philly cheesesteak was good, that's the only reason I gave 2 stars read more

A FANtastic bar and amazing staff. This is our "go to" bar and I love the family atmosphere. Great food and service! Love my Oasis peeps

Food and service has gone down hill drastically since the last time I was here. The southwest egg rolls were okay. They had a bed of brown lettuce under them though. . . I ordered the Carolina reaper wings and a side salad. The waitress forgot to put my salad in but I didn't say anything because I was worried it would be brown lettuce. The wings were flavorless. Not at all spicy. Must have ran out of reaper peppers? The blue cheese was super watery. My son liked his chicken tenders and fries. My husband did not care for his burger but said the the fries were good. We all have stomach aches. I'm worried the food was past its prime. read more

Always a good place for drinks, food and drinks. The menu is varied enough to always provide good choices. My wife and I have always been pleased with service, both at the tables and at the bar. While under COVID controls, they're doing it right, mask and distancing requirements are in place. That builds the comfort in wanting to come back. read more

Cole slaw tasted like salted Mayo. Perogies were old looking, I had loaded, and onion. Chipped ham was sliced very thick flavor was good just veryyy thick.. Philly cheesesteaks had no meat and NO flavor! Wings had no flavor either. I had the monkey punch drink.... Delicious! read more

Sports bar with an emphasis on Pittsburgh sports teams. Serving mostly workmanlike pub fare. Featured item is homemade pierogis, which are as good as you can find here. Burgers, sandwiches and salads are decent. Nightly beer specials and Wednesday trivia are reasons to drop in. read more

Great iced coffee,good juke box.Relaxed atmosphere.

Hi. The service and food was good, but had a real issues with no prices on the menu. Found this very strange. When I asked about the lack of prices, the response I got was....the owner wants the flexibility to adjust pricing since her suppliers are always changing their costs. For clarity, the waitress was very willing to verbally share prices prior to ordering. read more

I really like this bar. It has a great neighborhood bar feel with a full food menu, games and a pool table. If you're looking for a place to set and chat or watch a ball game this is a place to go. They offer great cheesesteaks, nachos along with their famous pierogis as seen on the tv show man vs food. If you want to try the challenge, it's a 2.5 pound pierogis!! This place is in the same shopping center as food lion. If you haven't tried it out I would recommend to. The only issue is the place is hot and muggy the last few times. I stoopedni. Last week and there was about 12-15 people and the place was hot. I stopped in again on 7/3/19 with a party of 14 and once again got and muggy. read more

Love, love this place. The food is great and the service was even better. Megan did a great job with our order and was very attentive to our needs. Our new go to place! read more

Great food, great people, and great atmosphere. I had the traditional pierogies for $1 Monday--can't beat that! Definitely check out the other "Pittsburgh" style food they offer. read more

The beer tastes great....Waiting for an hour now for our dinner which were pierogi's and wings. Waitress has been very nice and what not. Place isn't packed or anything. Not sure what the deal is. Would be alright if we only came to drink. read more

Excellent little pub! highly recommend grabbing some beers and food here. Awesome specials, great staff and SO much better then previous business. If you are into "Steel town" food a la Pittsburgh you will enjoy it even more as they have perogees, chipped ham, french fries on sammies, etc.... Personally anything steelers isn't my thing but the cheesesteaks, burgers and wings are excellent. Great specials too. Need a break from the island scene? this is just across the bridge next to Food Lion. read more

Came here for a early lunch it was pretty empty with about 2 other tables. Place was pretty small for a bar but food I thought was pretty good. I wanted to get the soup with half a sandwich but the sandwich that I wanted was only served dinner time which was the joes club. Downfall I couldn't get that but bright side was it was great to know you can have that kind of deal for dinner. I end up getting the slider hot dogs which was actually really good with chili and cheese. Might come here again to try out the other food. read more
