What People Are Saying About Joe's Garage

In Short – The windowed upper level is of this relaxed eatery makes a sunny lunch spot, while the low-lit main floor with a shiny metal bar is ideal for laid-back dinner or drinks with friends. Walls are hung with modern paintings from local artists. The kitchen sticks primarily to American staples with their own special twist. A small plate of lobster buns piled with fresh, generous chunks of meat pleases the hipsters of all ages who frequent the restaurant.

Terrible service by manager

by battles12

The manager asked us to leave so he could turn over the table after we had several appetizers, dinner and drinks. We were there for 2.25 hours with a group of friends for a special night. Needless to say, we will not be returning. We are encouraging our friends to avoid this restaurant as well. Very disappointed.

  • Pros: nice location
  • Cons: manager does not know how to keep business

Don't bother

by tanianna

The food was bland, the environment dirty especially the bathrooms-ICK and the owner/snob JOE was just as rude as can be. It's amazing this place is still around with an attitude like that running the place. I won't be back. Better service at pizza hut

Nice outdoor dining, food just OK

by minneapolian

We went on a Saturday evening and thankfully had made a reservation, so were seated promptly. However, a friend of mine happened to be there who had not and waited for an hour to be seated. So, definitely make reservations.

I enjoyed the seating we had a view of both the Bascilica and Loring Park. the drinks were good as well. We had an appetizer of grilled shrimp which was also well prepared. However, neither my husband nor i enjoyed our dinners. I had the lamb meatballs and my husband had the walleye. Mine was dry and he said his lacked flavour, even though his came with chipotle sauce.

The service was fine, the wait staff was friendly and attentive. The restrooms definitely need to be improved, it was worse than what i would expect in a truck stop.

  • Pros: nice environment
  • Cons: not so great food
