Glad there's a yummy place for breakfast so close to my house! Last time i had poutine so good was at Chez Ben's in Manchester. Perfect upscale diner food and I love a good diner :) My friend and I like to eat so she ordered the classic benny. It was delicious. And I ordered the biscuits and gravy. Also delicious and then we shared a small poutine which was huge and a side of homemade corned beef has. Everything was yummy, cooked just the way we like it. The servers kept the coffee coming. Don't really have a bad thing to say. Keep it up Joey B's! read more

I ordered off the specials list for Tuesday. I got the taco bowl which I have had in the past and it is SO good. The meat is so flavorful and the bowl is so crispy (just not on the bottom) and tasty. I wish they would add this to the everyday menu instead of having to wait and hope they have it on a Tuesday! It comes with a cup of salsa and a cup of sour cream. I ordered take out but was impressed with the look of the inside of the restaurant. read more

Breakfast was good.. staff could be a little more friendly.. nice atmosphere.. want to return and try lunch!!!

A Tasty classic breakfast joint on a "foggy" Sunday morning. Everything was done to perfection, and the waitstaff was pleasant and attentive. I believe the structure is an old Friendly's. I had the Cardiac delight - Corned Beef Hash and Over-Easy Eggs with Hash Browns, Rye Toast with a tasty cup of coffee and a tall glass of water, and that began my road to recovery on this Sunday morning. I will gladly be back when in town. read more

I love this place for its ambience and food. They also bring great bands like the Bernadettes!

I stopped by this place on a Saturday morning. There was enough people, but still I got a seat right away. I went there for poutine. Poutine is a Canadian dish with french fries, gravy, cheese curds and some protein. Its a rare dish in Hartford. It is an unhealthy food, but tastes good. I also tried the California Benedict. That was also excellent. avocado and tomato was very fresh. read more

Excellent food, stylish hip decor, quiet upbeat ambience, very good service at a reasonable price. Wife had California Benedict, I the Irish Benedict, and shared the Philly poutine --- great taste, superbly presented. Will definitely come again when in the area. Wish we had a place like this near us --- we'd dine there regularly. read more

Food was very good , service was excellent Very clean and pleasant atmosphere I will go back

Stopped in on Labor Day with a friend. Was surprised at the change in the look of the interior compared to the diner that had operated there before. Attentive, friendly, and efficient staff. Daily specials menu looked good- creative offerings. Poutine and onion rings were excellent. read more

Friendly service, excellent food and very reasonable prices. Have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. Did not take many visits for them to know be by name and welcome me that way every time I go there. Joey, the owner, is a total pro and clearly a great guy. I take lot that his entire staff is smiling and friendly. You don't see that sort of thing when the owner is a jerk. Obviously not the case here. Also, I am there almost every Sunday morning and there is usually a line waiting to sit down and people seem okay to do so. That says a lot about how they feel about the place too! Top notch diner/comfort food. Enjoy! read more

Soft opening review. I know this location as a previous diner which was unimpressive which is probably why it closed. I saw the sign change so decided to try this new place. The insides are all redone and very nice. They have the counter as well as a dining room. The waitstaff was very enthusiastic and energetic if a little unfocused. I ordered something basic to see how they would do. If you can't get the basic stuff right you most likely can't do the more complicated things. So I got scrambled eggs, toast, potatoes(you have a choice between tater tots and home fries) and bacon. I am rather specific in my ordering and they got my order exactly right. The food was good bacon very tasty, potatoes crispy, toast done right and eggs cooked but not browned. If I had to make a complaint it would be the waitstaff. I asked for a couple of minutes to look over the menu and my waitress was gone for more than 10 and when I asked for a refill of coffee I never did get it. Another waitress came over with a pot to give a refill looked at my empty cup said she said I was all set and walked away before I could open my mouth. So, worth a visit but give them some time on getting their service together read more

I can not begin this review without acknowledging the true driving force behind Joey B's: thier customer service. From the moment I walked in, I was given the impression the the staff was there for me. A pleasant hostess quickly seated me. An equally pleasant waitress offered me coffee and a menu before my seat had a chance to fully depress beneath my weight; and, she made it a point to check back with me several times thereafter ( I can only hope that a "thumbs up" is proper edicate when my mouth is full and the waitress stops by to check on me). Be sure to tip generously. That being said, I had stopped in for breakfast. Of course, standard breakfast fare is offered; but, for my money, the true measure of a breafast place is the Eggs Benedict. As I've said before, almost anyone can fry an egg and grill a sausage (the rare exception would, most assuredly be noted here), but; Eggs Benedict requires a certain, pinache'. A brief debate between the Irish Bendict and the Florentine Benedict raged in my mind, culminating in a Florentine victory. Served within ten minutes, I began to dig in. I was impressed with the large, plentiful, chunks of feta cheese, and ample, but not overwhelming, portion of spinach, served between an appropriately, runny yolk, fried egg atop an english muffin half. The problem was, it was served close to cold. ( On that note, I had over heard not one but two elderly patrons complain that they were freezing. Granted, I found the room comforatable; but, if you over a certain age, you may want to consider bringing a sweater. )I couldn't help but think, in spite of the quick service, that my meal had sat out long enough to cool down. Further, the true measure of any Eggs Benedict being the holledaise sauce, I regrettably found mine to be "understated", at best. Plentiful, mind you, but; just a step above bland. In contrast, however, were the potatoes, served on the side. These were well seasoned and packed with flavor. Served in just the right proportion, they easily passed my "condiment test"; that being, if it's made right, no condiments are needed. Including a descent cup of coffee, the meal came to fourteen dollars and change, not including tip. All in all, a fair price, for a fair meal, in my book. read more

I love breakfast and I love brunch! Joey B's has been around for a while but I'm always weary to try new diner type restaurants so we never did. Then I saw the awesome reviews on YELP and I was like WHAaaaaaaat?? So we decided to try them for take out on a Saturday. Man oh man! Awesome! I got the California eggs Benedict.. it was so good! Generous helping of toppings, perfectly poached eggs, amazing hollandaise sauce, scrumptious home fries! My daughter had the kids pancake and it was so massive she had it for two days! My hubby got fried eggs and tots!! Tots for breakfast?? I give it a hell yes to the 100th power!! I'm coming back for sure! I love when a place makes me this excited!! read more

One of my favorite places to get breakfast! The service is always great and the food is consistently delicious!

I met a friend here for late breakfast/early lunch, during the week. Despite some extra COVID protocols we were seated promptly. Service was good and our food came quickly. Once I saw they had poutine on the menu my decision was made. And I wasn't disappointed - it was delicious! Definitely coming back! read more

Good food, great ambiance and a family feel breakfast with good sized portions!!! Staff are wonderful and friendly and it's clear why it's a local favourite! read more

The best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. Overall excellent experience! We will definitely be regulars here now.

I've come here many times with my friends for breakfast and lunch and it's one of my favorite local restaurants. The service is always great and the staff are very welcoming. My favorite thing to get is the crispy chicken wrap but I also love their poutine. I had never had it before until I was convinced to try it one time and I loved it! read more

We went on a busy weekend and service seemed to flow like a well oiled machine once our waitress came over. Knowing how long brunch spots in the area take to seat patrons, I was impressed when we didn't have to wait for a seat. Food was fairly tasty, although could use a bit more seasoning. But can't go wrong with breaky. Vibes were bustling families and portions were hearty. Enjoy! read more

Overpriced. Feels more like a chain that just runs you thru the process. I usually try a place a couple times and I did here. Won't go again

Great food and great service. Take out is fast and convenient not to mention the atmosphere is great if you decide to stay in and eat!

The new kid is down deserves some love. Decided to stop on a Saturday morning before doing our weekly shopping. My daughter got the waffle with chips and cream. Myself the kielbasa and eggs with rye toast and a side of hash. My wife the breakfast sampler. so we tried a good mix of the breakfast offerings. All in all a good meal. Service was fast food was decent. I couldn't really complain. The addition of the cupcake flavored coffee was amusing. Welcome to so nice to have another breakfast choice to add to the mix. read more

A gem!!! My family and I use to go to the dinner that was previously at the location. The service was great and the food was deliciously. The waiter offered great customer service, was very tentative and of friendly character. I recently had surgery and can't eat food yet, they were able to cook for me clear broth. I am so happy we have a great local restaurant that we can visit for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!!! read more

I can see why this the place has a good rating. My boyfriend and I are travelers from Boston and pop in. They give you a plethora of food so they much you leave full. The home fries wasn't the best but the omelette was huge and pancakes was huge. Awesome place to spot at and get something to eat. If you are a coffee lover definitely recommend trying the coffee. The customer service was amazing and super friendly environment. read more

Joey Bs was the best addition to town! The staff is the friendliest always greeting at the door when you come in. They are always smiling at the little ones even when a little mess is on the floor. They recently updated the inside and the decor and colors are so cozy to enjoy the perfect meal! We love going for breakfast especially to have the coffee! We've never had a bad meal there and love being regulars. The waffles, home fries, pancakes and just a few of the best around! read more

I work in the area and was looking for a new place to eat. A few coworkers suggested we try this new place that took over the old starlight diner. Driving up, the outside looked just like the old run down place before it closed. The inside, however, was updated pretty nicely. Met the owners, very nice people. We were seated pretty quickly, only about 5 tables had customers. Nice selection for breakfast and lunch menus. I decided to order the chicken and waffles. Supposed to come with fries or tater tots. Out comes a dry waffle with 3 chicken tenders on top, nothing else on the plate. Waffle was a reheated frozen waffle, chicken tenders were the same. It looked like a kids meal. Asked the waitress if it was supposed to come with tater tots. She apologized and went to put the order in. They eventually brought them out. After eating most of them, realize there was some type of hair/fibers as if they were dropped on the floor before being fried. One friend order the chicken wrap and wasn't impressed. Said it was very dry. Other friend order the kraut hotdog and a muffin. Not sure if it was early opening jitters but we won't be going back due to lackluster food. Less than basic with the restaurant less than 1/3 full. read more

We have been there about three times now and I wanted to write a proper review. The food has been excellent every time the only issue I had one time was with avocados looks like that has been resolved. Kids meals are huge almost too much food. Cheeseburger was cooked just right the brioche bun makes it out of this world. Waitress is really nice and attentive every time. Joey B's will definitely be in the weekly rotation. You definitely should come and check this out if you wanna five-star meal with not hurting your pocket. read more

Good food and service. Dining room is clean and nicely decorated. A great place for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

We stopped in for breakfast before heading to the movies. This place looks old and shabby from the outside but once you step inside, it's beautiful! Nicely renovated, they have counter dining which I do not prefer, but they also have booths and tables. Our server Beth was warm and welcoming. Our drinks were out in a snap. We put our orders in and in no time at all she was bringing out our breakfast. I had corned beef hash, which was homemade, with rye toast, my breakfast mate had ham and cheese omelet which she said was delishous. The homfries were really good. We will definitely return! Prepare to wait a bit, when we left there was a small line waiting. We also heard they would be having homemade bread and morning glory muffins on the menu soon! read more

Recommended to us by a friend and it did not disappoint. Took the family and had a very good time. Pleasant all the way around, great service and wonderful food. I enjoy homemade corn beef hash and they had a very good one. Everyone liked the pancakes and waffles. Two people had the samplers, 2 eggs, home fries, toast, 2 bacon & 2 sausage links. The coffee was excellent and unsweetened ice tea was very good. read more

We were searching for a new breakfast spot when we stumbled on Joey B's. We were seated immediately and greeted by a waiter with menus and drink requests. The breakfast menu is rather extensive sure to have something for everyone. Our food arrived quickly (bacon and eggs, sausage gravy on muffins) and we found our meals to be quite good. Prices were fair and we have already recommended Joey B's to others. read more

Decided to go to Joey B's because my friend suggested it. Went with him & the bestie. New place, might as well try it out. Seated quickly, only about 8 or 10 tables with customers. Cool, this will be fast. Took about 2 mins for the waitress to get our drink order & bring the drinks. She came back about 10 mins after to get our food order. Pretty basic order... 2 burgers, 1 medium & 1 medium rare and a crispy chicken sandwich. Order placed @ 1:30..order received 2:07. 37 min wait for shitty food. Burgers were overcooked & dry. No cheese on the cheeseburger. Crispy chicken sandwich has turned into a chicken wrap. My friends & I were not happy. Waitress was very apologetic, almost too apologetic. It's not her fault. Owner or manager came out, said they were really busy or something to that effect (only 8 or 10 tables, how are you gonna handle it when it's BUSY?) & will take the chicken wrap off the bill. They took half off of our bill . from $40 to $20. The Cole slaw, pickle and tater tots were good...but whoopy doo how hard is that? Would be best to get whoever is doing the main meal cooking to a class or something or switch your head chef to someone who can cook to order & handle the pressures of restaurant life. I know it's not easy, but this place won't last if you can't cook basic shit. (We heard someone else complaining about their stuff as well. ) No Bueno... (We still tipped the waitress 6 bucks, cuz as I said, it wasn't her fault & why should she suffer because of someone else's incompetence?) I hope they get better for their sake. Best of luck to you all, we won't return. If you're still open next year we might come back & see if you've improved. But I doubt it. read more
