"This Thanksgiving at Joe’s, enjoy sliced turkey breast with leg and thigh confit, gravy, and classic sides like stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry relish, green beans, and butternut squash topped with toasted marshmallow, finished with a slice of pumpkin chiffon pie. The spread goes for $79.95 per adult and $39.95 for children 5-12 (kids under five dine free). Joe’s full regular menu will also be available for those craving their seafood and steaks." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"“Surrounded by soaring columns and billowing drapes in a former bank, Joe’s is consistently busy and popular, with an epic happy hour starting at 2:30 p.m., lavish seafood towers, and year-round access to its namesake stone crab delicacy from Florida. Miami Beach-born Joe’s does draw a Republican crowd in D.C., as seen on a recent night when a suit-wearing patron was spotted with his blue tin of RFK Jr.-approved Zyn nicotine pouches out on the bar.” The decade-old downtown restaurant at 15th and H Streets recently hosted a dinner where the table ordered crab, shrimp, salad, steak, and dessert; “The food was phenomenal and the service was fantastic,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said." - Tierney Plumb
"Joe’s has a sense of grandeur, with its former bank building location and solicitous maitre d’s. The restaurant showcases plenty of steaks and a generous happy hour that starts at 2:30 p.m. and runs all the way until 6 p.m." - Tierney Plumb
"One of the busiest restaurants in the city, Joe’s is a prime-time favorite for happy hours (at least, in non-pandemic times) followed by large-format steak dinners. Order up the filet Oscar, which comes with a filet mignon, Alaskan king crab, asparagus, and side of bearnaise sauce. The restaurant is also open for takeout and delivery." - Tierney Plumb
"Downtown’s surf-and-turf institution in a bustling former bank has one of the best (and longest) daily happy hours in the city. From 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., saddle up to the handsome bar or tall tables to enjoy half-off cocktails, wines, beer, and oysters. Under-$10 snacks include lobster deviled eggs, beef tenderloin sliders, king crab rolls, and calamari." - Tierney Plumb
