A sunny gem in the Garden District, this casual spot serves up hearty Creole classics and frosty beers that make for a cozy, delicious dining experience.
"A neighborhood fixture since 1990, Joey K’s is a down-home spot, known for classic red beans and fresh po’ boys. Geared to the budget-minded, there are daily specials and jambalaya always on the menu, priced at $5.95 for a side." - Beth D'Addono
"The daily specials at this Magazine Street favorite are always a big hit, especially the dynamite lamb shank on Tuesdays. On Mondays at Joey K’s though, it’s obviously all about the red beans with smoked sausage, which are consistently voted a favorite by locals, and so good that they’re on the weekly menu and not held hostage by Mondays." - Eater Staff
"Joey K’s is an old-school spot for New Orleans comfort food, served in extreme portions. A mix of fried seafood and Creole Italian dishes, this is the place for chicken fried steak and hamburger “steak” with brown gravy. Check out the daily specials, well priced and hearty like Monday’s white beans with a fried pork chop for $12.50." - Beth D'Addono
"Joey K’s has commanded this corner of Magazine Street for more than 30 years, a casual eatery dishing homestyle Creole eats and 18-ounce beers in huge frosted mugs. Although grilled seafood is an option, regulars adore the flash-fried catfish with fries, although the side of mashed potatoes and gravy is also a winner." - Beth D'Addono
"Head into Joey K’s on Magazine, a homey favorite among locals and tourists alike, for red beans and rice, fried seafood, and a soft shell platter or sandwich year-round. The daily specials are also always a big hit, especially the lamb shank." - Nora McGunnigle, Clair Lorell
