The teepee at the entrance is gorgeous and has a ping pong table, a side table, and lots of chairs. The bar has plenty of seating around it and the bartender was super friendly. Our group of 8 ordered food and drinks and we were delighted with our orders! There is a large stage area for live music, a back house with pool and board games, and an old bus with seats and a table. Didn't get to take pics of the bus, but it was awesome. Extremely happy with our experience here and would definitely recommend adding this to your itinerary when visiting Marfa, Texas!

Here's a great bonus-buy a bottle, get a free drink! How great is that? Of course I bought a bottle of vodka to add to my house collection. Really high-quality cocktails that you'd find at any 4-5 star lounge. Affordable! It was really cool to mix it up with Marfa residents as well as other tourists. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.

We visited the bar a few times during our stay and found the bartenders were friendly and seemed to have a good handle on everyone even when it was packed. The offer great beverages and the bar food menu gives you limited, but good options. My husband enjoyed the buffalo burger with its good flavor. I went with their baked eggplant Parmesan. This was an unexpected treat as it was prepared in such a way that I'd call it decadent. It looked like a square of lasagna and what you found was thinly sliced eggplant layered with cheese and other ingredients that made it the best eggplant Parmesan I've ever eaten. There, I said it. The best. The mixed greens and grilled focaccia is a nice touch to what you'll be enjoying with the eggplant.

It's a comfortable place and the bartender welcomed us as we walked through the door. I noticed that she welcomed everyone as they walked in. As I said, it is a comfortable and welcoming place with a better than decent bar. We sat at the bar and had a hand-made margarita with all fresh, in-house made ingredients. Bartender asked what tequila we preferred. They use fresh squeezed lime juice and in-house made triple sec. The rita was delicious. One of the best I have had. The young lady tending bar was very social, considerate, and knowledgeable. I cannot recall her name, but she hails from Nebraska and her Great Plains upbringing shines. The whole thing was so enjoyable that we will be back in a day or two for another rita and will try the food. They also have live music on weekends. Looking forward to returning. EDIT: Returned on August 2nd to listen to music and eat. Neon Leon was the performer. He is a Texas Singer/Songwriter of sorts who plays both electric and acoustic guitar (with a pickup). He was really enjoyable and had quite a repertoire including some very good songs he wrote. Just him and his guitar and that is all that was needed. Several locals were there listening and providing some great conversation. This is a great place. We tried shrimp on pita bread and it was flavorful and delicious. The menu is simple and food is well presented.

Make the reservation yesterday. Chef Alexandra Gates met us at the door, walked us to our table, and explained every course herself. Our server Dallas was an absolute gem. We did the chef's menu with the pairing. Nilgai tartare with avocado and toasty grilled bread. Corn ribs that made me emotional about a vegetable. Mesquite Gulf shrimp in a beurre blanc I wanted to drink. Texas quail on ruby slaw with wild boar bacon. Bison in a pasilla-pecan mole, tender as a love song. Horchata pudding to finish, with a little pecan crown. My side dish queen, claimed the sparkling rosé and guarded it like a hawk. I let her. Happy wife, happy pairing. Some of the best food we have ever eaten in Texas, and I've eaten a LOT of Texas. Worth every penny and every mile.

My husband and I were driving back to Austin from California and decided to pull over, catch a basketball game, and grab a bite to eat. What we didn't expect was one of the most genuinely welcoming experiences we've had on the road. From the moment we walked in, every single person we encountered was incredibly kind, warm, and inviting. It didn't feel like we were just customers passing through--it felt like we were being welcomed into a community. The food was fantastic! The street tacos were hands-down the highlight--fresh, flavorful, and some of the best we've had anywhere. And the prices were more than fair. One of the most memorable parts of our visit was being given a tour of the backyard area. The team shared that it had recently suffered a fire, but they were still proud to show us the space and even invited us back once it's fully restored. That kind of openness and resilience really stuck with us. Oh--and we can't forget Tito and Becky, the two sweetest cats who made the experience even more special. Joe's Place isn't just a stop for food--it's a place full of heart. We'll absolutely be back next time we're passing through. Thanks Joes place!
