Joe & Stan's Pub & Grill

The food here is such an incredible value. Most things are under fifteen dollars, including the house made pizza, which is price fixed no matter the toppings you choose - at $13 I believe it was. It is good neighborly kind of place and I love it. Full bar, free popcorn, good beer selection.

I've known the family that has owned this for almost for my entire life and it's not just a place for night time drinking but a daytime family friendly place and is a fantastic staff and food with hand tossed pizza and delicious chasse curds so 10/10 and also VERY CHEEP

I only go in with my white friends otherwise I don't get served. If you are fat or colored you will hear them say mean things about you, and see the employees roll their eyes and make faces at you. ~They have such fun events, but never go without your white friends!

Great food - Great atmosphere - super friendly staff! I had the Broasted chicken and was the best I have ever had! I will be back and recommend to All my friends!!

Their food is good...however, I probably will pass on the enchiladas surpreme next time. But thurs Hot Diego are great!!! Good priced drinks. Servers always on it!!!

Had a great time. There were eleven of us and we got our food promptly and it was very good. It was a Wednesday so there was a discount on the games.

Fun vibe. Local vibe. Good energy. Dilly rolls were fun but paired with the wrong sauce Everything else was fine. The vibe was the best part. Unassuming. Welcoming.

The special was great for $11. Hollandaise sauce was good 👍

A group of us came here Sunday for Breakfast and bingo to celebrate a birthday. We arrived shortly after 9:00am as bingo starts at 10am and we wanted to eat prior and I heard it can get busy for bingo (that is true). Place is definitely older, but clean and lots of people seem to like it. Breakfast was all you can eat for $9.99/Adult. Talk about a deal! You fill out a paper sheet and your waitress takes it. Food comes out fairly quickly. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. The French toast was SO good. It was definitely a table favorite. Scrambled eggs, potato cake, and sausage patty were also tasty. Can't beat the price for breakfast or bingo. Cheap tab- just what I like. Our waitress was nice and friendly. She was the only one in our area and she handled it well. Bingo is set up well and the ladies move it along which is nice. $10/pack and you are able to buy extra for the games. I'll be back to enjoy another Sunday breakfast and bingo soon.

A West 7th institution! I can't believe for how many times I've walked or driven past that it took me so long to finally venture inside! I, admittedly, came for the bingo (which is played on Wednesdays and Fridays), but had a fun night of people-watching, cheap beer drinking, and wing eating. I was pretty low-key with my food selection, just trying out the honey Sriracha wings, which definitely packed a little punch, but nothing too bad. On bingo nights, it does seem like you might want to get there a little early to snag a seat.

Not 4.5 stars Bar food/ bar atmosphere Smokin the skunk right outside. Nice kid friendly place

Perfect spot for beer, pizza, and some of the best wings in the twin cities. I've been here multiple times over the past few years and have never been disappointed!! If you are near St Paul this place is a must stop!!

About 10 Min ago me and my friends that are Mexican went in, another group in front of us that were African American females went in too. We got kicked out apparently because of the "owners rules" so we had to leave. A group of white males asked if they can go in and were let in after we were told to leave. Everybody else in there was white so it's very clear on who they want to serve and who they don't. I only gave one star because I had to give it a star to post. Don't go there clearly racist!

One of the best food Ive ever had and the bartender Jen was super nice and the cook Johny makes homemade pizza

This was our first time here. Main reason was to play bingo in a new spot. We were hungry so of course we ordered food. Everything was very good. There are many regulars here and we could tell because everyone knew everyone else by name. We were outsiders but still engaged in friendly conversation with a few of the people near us. Server was great. Husband won a bingo extra bonus. My only "complaint" is that it got pretty warm in there. It's an older building so A/C isn't really a thing. Lots of ceiling fans blowing though. We have small personal fans so if we go back, and I think we will, we would bring our own for comfort. The outside of the building is a nice facade, different that one shown in previous photos. I forgot to take one. Overall a good experience!

Not a lot to say about Joe and Stan's. That's certainly not because it's a bad place, it's a straightforward spot that doesn't try to be something they're not. Too bad some other places don't do the same thing. They'd save themselves a lot of time and money. The last time I was in with a buddy we both had a couple of tacos and a beer (or two). Our server was personable, attentive and delivered our food promptly. The tacos looked as good as they tasted and I'd order them again anytime. By the way, the beer was cold and the tab was reasonable. More good news, 'eh? Joe and Stan's provides a good excuse for avoiding the joints trying to be something they're not. Plus, ownership and operators are local folks and that's always music to my ears. Go there. Have fun. Meet nice people from the old neighborhood. Trust me.

Joe and Stan's is a great place with the best owner's and the people that work there are awesome!! The bartender's are some of the best I've ever met and everyone there does their job above and beyond! It helps that everyone is so friendly and polite. The food is very good and they have a lot of things always going on like Bingo, meat raffles and the Joker and the people that run them also do a great job. The people that go there are also very nice and friendly. The wait staff and cooks are all excellent also and very nice people. It's just a great neighborhood family bar and restaurant. The jukebox is one of my favorite things! Also Golden Tee! It's really become one of my favorite places ever.

Great service, fun atmosphere and fabulous pizza! Just the type of neighborhood bar we were looking for.

Came back to give our old friends some love! Joe and Stans celebrated 25 years this weekend and what a party they had! Staff was on the ball, our glasses were never empty. There is almost something going on here, and what a great stop to hit on your way to a Wild game!

Best hidden secret in the heart of Saint Paul's W 7th neighborhood! Great food at reasonable prices and great curbside service during Covid.

Came here for the cold beer and delicious pizza. Love the dive bar atmosphere but with good food. Staff is friendly and pleasant. Highly recommend.

Dive indeed. Almost reminded us a little of the fictional Alibi on Shameless. Ordered some take out broasted chicken. Two 4 piece dinners. We wanted two white piece dinners, but the rude guy answering the phone said no. We could only have one white piece because he wasn't splitting up the chicken for cooking. Ok, whatever. Fine. Went to pick it up and was ignored by the bartender and then a loud woman comes out with the two piece yelling is this yours? Service is definitely abrupt and kinda rude, but wasn't expecting rainbows and hugs especially after the guy taking our order. Chicken was good. Fries were kind of meh. Not too many places have boasted chicken, thats why we ended up here. Would we go back? Maybe, maybe not. The chicken was nice and moist, the wings are almost non existent.

Went in for a bite and beer before a concert based on the 4 star rating. I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich and my wife got a Rachel. The chicken came out and looked pale white with grey coloring.....it tasted microwaved. The fries were undercooked and limp. The Rachel was just as bad. It is hard to make food this marginal.... I do not recommend.

Looking for a cool dive bar that's full of locals and clean...yeah this is your place! 2.50 summit at happy hour, I laughed when they told me that! That alone gets you 5 stars! I hope there is a next time because next time I'll get a pizza and tell you how good it is!

My family was walking around the neighborhood (lots of cool shops and restaurants in the area!) and stopped here. The service was incredible and we got a patio table. The menu is HUGE and it was hard to decide what to get. We got the Mac n cheese bites as an appetizer and I went with the fried shrimp meal which was delicious. Everything on the menu was pretty inexpensive.

My wife and I went today on a whim and WOW! Joey the bartender was awesome, the food was beyond "bar food" with the fish fry special being incredible!!! The owner was cooking and the crowd was so friendly. Can't wait to go back. Hidden gem on W 7th!!

Taking their food to the next level they now serve homemade pizza. They run awesome food specials daily. I cannot eat these pizza fries fast enough.

My beloved Joe and Stan's is still deserving of five full stars. They recently got a little face lift on the front of the building and I was worried that they may have lost some of the charm of the bar--but it is still in tact and just as comfortable as before. The same staff are working so it feels right. I just wanted to mention the broasted chicken they have every night of the week...absolutely delicious---I was there on a Friday night and almost ordered the 10.00 prime rib dinner---that is correct 10.00 for a big ass Fred Flinstone sized piece of prime rib--two guys were eating it next to me and it looked delicious--so i will go back for that next time.

Blue collar fun on Friday night. They've got a meat raffle, bar bingo, and some of the cheapest food specials ever. If you can handle it, check it out with some friends. It would be an awesome spot on a West 7th pub crawl. No cards accepted, cash only for this joint.

I like the low priced drinks especially during happy hours. How they can sell those delicious ribs on Monday nights for eight dollars when everyone else is charging almost double that is beyond me. Same with prime rib on Friday. I rate the buffet during halftime of Vikings games only a B but how can anyone complain when it's always free. Hope they don't go bankrupt!

Love going to joe and Stan's go every Friday night for bingo everyone is so friendly

Friendly, and family friendly, dive/neighborhood bar with great specials, good food, and fun events.

Friendly service, excellent bar food, and cheap drinks. Love this place!

Been going here for years! Always pleasant and enjoyable! It's also nice seeing many familiar faces!

I stop here on my way home from work a couple of times per week and always see a friendly face behind the bar. They have great food specials and I take advantage of them once in awhile.... food is always very good. The crowd is a 50/50 mix of neighborhood folks and people like myself, just passing by but always friendly. I hope they stay there for a long time.

Know the Kelly's for ever.Great people, miss Kevin if your good he might take you to Vegas.Great food and people

Joe and Stan's has great food and the prices are good. They are such nice owners and very accommodating. There is always nightly specials which are fantastic! A great place for happy hour and fun! A great place to congregate with family and friends. A fun meat raffle! They are very community oriented.

Busy Friday night for bingo and service was still fast and friendly.

Great food and atmosphere. Staff is always welcoming and greet you with a smile. Always have fun things going on. Love this place

We have known this family since most were very young. they They lived right across the street from us in Maplewood. Their father John Sr. Was always either a barber or bar owner. Great family and everyone of them are so kind and fun to be around, they run a great bar business along with their food! The Layer Family

I absolutely love their pizza. Great service. bingo is is always a good time. Great Vikings bar.

Awesome people great food food and drink specials al the time and always have good specials the pizza is phenomenal I would go every night if I could love my local neighborhood bar and grill

Holy crap, this place ROCKS! While back in town for a few days, I went out with a good friend of mine from high school. We were enjoying good conversation and some fruity cocktails when I mentioned my love of karaoke. The bartender suggested Joe & Stan's as the closest option, but warned that we might not fit in. His actual words were, "You might hear the sound of a record scratching when you walk in". I was up for it, my friend was game, so off we headed. As we pull up, I say, "Hey look, they have hookers!", and sure enough, there were two girls in pink tights, short skirts and ratted hair being groped by the front door. We forged our way through the miasma of cigarette smoke and entered the mad Wonderland that is Joe & Stan's. The massive sign on the wall advertising a nightly "meat raffle" was the first checkmark on the list of requirements for a surreal night out. (This appears to be some sort of Midwestern thing, don't ask) The Hell's Angels crowding the bar, 8 natural teeth between them was the second. One of the patrons was a dead ringer for 'Sloth' Fratelli from The Goonies. At one point, the middle-aged DJ pulled up her miniskirt to show a friend her new ass tattoo. It was lovely. The crowd is crude, loud and obnoxious (but very welcoming), the karaoke sucks, the drinks were cheap & toxic and I wouldn't eat here if you paid me, but for pure, unadulterated people-watching, there is no place better than Joe & Stan's. Cheers!

What a pleasant surprise. We were looking for a cheap drink and dinner in St. Paul on a Friday. We found Joe and Stan's through a happy hour Google search. At the prices we saw, we expected some dive bar. The place is no dive bar. Instead we found several tables filled with families and friends of all ages. The wait staff was super friendly. We were happy with our $2.50 Summits and $10 cod dinner and $13 Prime Rib. Free broasted wings sealed the deal. We'll be back.

I've been wanting to go to Joe & Stan's for a while now. I live in the neighborhood, and have always preferred unpretentious dive bars over "fancy" places. Throw in karaoke and I'm happy as a drunken clam (ooh! Unintentional Family Guy reference). I have yet to experience the night life at Joe & Stan's, but I did pop over for breakfast this morning, and it was good. Really, really good. My eggs were perfectly done (I'm terribly picky about my eggs). The hash browns tasted homemade. The sausages were piping hot - crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside (and tremendously greasy, to boot), and my husband said his omelet was the best he's ever had. EVER. The service was fast and friendly, and the prices - my goodness, the prices! - were more than reasonable. All told, the tab for two meals and two Cokes came to - I'm not shitting you--$13.50. We will definitely return to this establishment, if not to get wasted and sing terrible karaoke, then to eat good, cheap, greasy breakfast food, and support an honest neighborhood business. As for the claim that only lowlifes populate this bar, c'mon. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." ~Oscar Wilde

Lots of old posts here. May be time to take another look. I stopped here for lunch today and had about the best burger I've ever tasted! -for only $4- The place has been spruced up, redecorated, clean throughout, decent service and the locals were very friendly. 13 big screen TVs for sports or... I liked it!

Nice remodel, but the attitude.... So, we checked out Joe and Stan's over the weekend. None of us had been there lately and I'd heard they remodeled. The place itself was remodeled, but the dude at the bar who yelled at us should remodel his attitude. We walk in and unbeknownest to my friend, the door didn't close all the way behind her. We hear, "Hey! It's cold out! Shut the door will ya?" Eeeek. The 3 of us sat at a booth and ordered some beers and a couple of snacks - buffalo drummies, fries, 2 tacos, and the nachos. The non door closer loved her tacos. They were on special for $2.50 each and huge. Other friend loved her drummies. The order was huge and she couldn't finish. I tried the fries - nothing special. The nachos were nothing I would recommend. Seriously - it was about 20 tortilla chips with Kraft cheese melted on top from the microwave. I've made better at home. For the food and 2 beers each, we spent about $42 after tip. Not too bad. We left just as karaoke was starting, but it seems they have a real karaoke following. I will go back, but shut the door behind me or wait until spring.

J&S is one of the brighter spots on 7th Street; they have meticulously renovated to appeal to a family crowd, and it has worked! When I first went to J&S in the early 2000's they have karaoke...for a welcoming crowd. Now, don't get me wrong, it wasn't complete chaos, it was every kind of St Paulite coming together for beers, cocktails, pizza, and late-night karaoke--a shared experience rather than awkward or combative. Ever get that vibe from a place that's just cool with everything non-pretentious? That's J&S's. Duck out the back door for a smoke, sip some generous cocktails in the bar, help yourself to free and fresh popcorn or order up some fantastic (and I DO MEAN fantastic!) food from the kitchen while you just relax and let worries melt away with close friends or the many TVs (!) in comfy booths. J&S never pressures, they always have something fun (and fairly noisy) going on, but the interior, staff, and food & drink are geared toward making your stay enjoyable. Just let go, drink, sing, raffle, and relax. They got this.

This place is a St. Paul classic; a true neighborhood bar & grill! The food is great, excellent service, and the company always seems to be very enjoyable. From bingo night to just a random night out, we always have good times at Joe and Stans!

Love Joe and Stans! Great local bar with good food and service!

Best dive bar ever. Even after their all of their recent updates it's still legit. Friendly staff and fun nights to be had.

Been going for years. Always quick with a drink and good neighborhood conversation. Food is always awesome. Try the pizza or wings!!! I miss breakfast tho... staff/owners are awesome as well. Cheers to it!

Great neighbor bar with wonderful promotions, great food and service. The Kelly family knows what makes a great bar.

Just your basic neighborhood tavern - a very good thing. Good drink prices and great food. Nothing fancy, nothing pretentious. Friendly staff and good service. Thursday meat raffle is a favorite.

This is a great spot if you want to sit somewhere quiet, and get to know some locals. Cheap taps but the food is okay in taste and a little overpriced for what you get from the menu. I come here for their food specials, which are more than definitely worth it. Staff is relatable and friendly.

This place is the best ever! Daily lunch specials less expensive than fast food. The food quality is excellent and they also have the best pizza in town. Perfect place to watch sports with an overabundance of TV's and great service. "Joe n Stans...where have you been all my life?"

This place has been one of my favorite spots in the twin cities. It's laid back but with great food and quick bartenders. They have activities going on all the time like bingo and meat raffles. As well as shuttles to and from the wild games. Best popcorn ever!!

Food is great so is the staff, Friday night prime rib best deal for the money- 10 of 10
