Dine Joes - Welcome to Joe's Bar & Grill via kwout


The DH came into the hotel room after his meeting and said "we are going to dinner with the guys tonight to a place called JOES BAR & GRILL. It sounded casual and it was as far as atmosphere but the FOOD was anything BUT "casual" it was spectacular!


THE STAFF there is FRIENDLY, HELPFUL and most of all EFFICIENT......


In addition they have an outside BAR & GRILL complete with a fireplace and an ambiance that is out of this world! It overlooks a MARSHLAND! this is where my picture of the cattails was taken ...... right from this outside grill........



FROM THE OUTSIDE BAR there is a MARSH





behind the marsh were beautiful White Herons grazing








the DH is sitting at the bar ordering a margarita........





NOW..................... HERE IS THE BEST PART! Behind the PORCH and BAR there was a RAMP

AS YOU CAN SEE THE RAMP WAS QUITE LARGE......... the bartender threw out pieces of bread to the top of the ramp and the birds would swoop in to eat. People could watch the action from their tables (they have a screened in section right in front of this)







This is a little cutie pie that we met, she was on vacation and had just gotten back from the water park, her parent brought her and her brother to this restaurant EVERY YEAR..................... to see............








THE RACCOONS that live in the marsh and use the ramp to play on and come FEED at the restaurant daily! HOW COOL IS THAT? I loved watching them and got lucky enough to get this picture!




THE MENU IS DIVERSE and there is something to please EVERYONE

NOW I have to tell you I got the SHRIMP AND GRITS which was out of this WORLD GOOD!
if you have never had this dish , you have to try it, USING STONE GROUND GRITS ONLY with large shrimp and a cajun sauce! I know it doesn't SOUND GOOD but 2 people that tried it that night (including the DH who swears he "hates" grits) LOVED IT!


if you are searching for a recipe to make it yourself, here are some important parts of the recipe
ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE
STONE GROUND GRITS (not instant, it isn't the same)
MEDIUM to LARGE BAR-B-QUED (not texas or NC, bbq but cajun bbq - big difference)
GRAVY should have gravy over it (bbq gravy) for dipping!

I recommend JOES BAR & GRILL FOR A GREAT TIME, GREAT FOOD, and GREAT EYE CANDY if you are in MYRTLE BEACH it is on 17 behind the OLIVE GARDEN!
