I was taken there by a colleague of mine who explained the history of this establishment. Apparently this was once called Bartalinos and was the hang for my colleague’s dad for years. It has some interesting history which probably shouldn’t be published. This Joey B’s does a great job with excellent service, a menu with many selections of Italian and American dishes. I had one of their burgers which was excellent. Next time I’ll need to try the pasta.

Joey B’s On The Hill is a solid destination, for lunch, dinner or just drinks. It’s a perfect place for gatherings with friends, family, co-workers regardless of the occasion. There are three unique seating areas, bar, dining room, and outside. The dining room can get loud at times however its more casual and perfect for families, while the bar features high-top seats and limited seating. Outside there are several tables which can be perfect for evening dining. Service here is fast and friendly too, I never had a bad experience. The menu here is huge, seriously they have something for everyone. The food is good and prices are reasonable, however my favorite items here are the sandwiches. The Pork Tenderloin is huge, and very tasty not to mention a steal at less than $ 10 with fries! Another solid choice is the Firecracker Chicken Sandwich which is a crispy chicken breast tossed in a hot sauce and topped with pepper jack cheese, it’s a delicious heat!

Have always been a fan, but found out today that Pasta Carbonara is no longer on the menu. So disappointed!!! Yes, they have a great, wide-ranging menu, but the carbonara was my go-to choice and the reason that I would make the drive from Illinois. With all the choices on The Hill that DO have carbonara on the menu, I don’t see a return trip to Joey B’s for me.

This is the second time Joey B’s catered for me at my work. Again this time it was amazing! The food is just as good there as it is catered and it is very well priced. All of my coworkers raved about the place. The guys that delivered it yesterday were so nice! Can’t wait for the one on Manchester to open!!!

This was my second visit to Joey B’s on the hill. My first trip was a dinner alone and I had the Pasta Tutto Mare and it was enough for two. Loaded with seafood and a wonderful sauce, I had to take half home. Last evening I expected a quick in and out being a Monday night, there were 3 other tables of people in the dining room when I arrived. It took almost 10 minutes to get my drink and place my order. I ordered the tomato bisque soup and the cowboy burger with French fries. The bisque was wonderful but it took so long to get it, my burger showed up 30 seconds after the soup arrived. The burger was a little dry and over done and the bacon on the burger was difficult to bite through in places. The fries were very bland and plain, much like McDonalds but not as flavorful. I would have hoped for something special like crinkle cut or steak fries. The place in my opinion was under staffed, I had to flag down my server to get a water it took so long I asked her to just bring the check at the same time fearing how long it would take after I finished. Overall it was ok but the pasta on the previous trip was much better.

I was there on a Sunday afternoon before catching a flight. I was happy that they were open, as most restaurants in the area were all closed. The service was great and everyone was friendly. I tried the baked ravioli which was delicious and a filling portion as well. Pleasant surprise for a bar/pub.

I had the steak modiga sandwich and it was excellent. It was my first time eating there and I don’t think I’ll be able to order anything else, it was that good. Husband had a pizza and he loves Imos and said the pizza was better than that. We will definitely be back!

Two years later and I still love this place! The staff is still awesome! I love that this establishment puts an emphasis on their staff, it is very much appreciated. They’ve add a LOT to their menu in the past few years and it’s all really good. Love the pesto chicken wrap and the Hummus Board! To this day, I have not be disappointed, EVER!

We’ve been to the location on the Landing a few years ago and enjoyed a pizza. Today was a stop in after a morning at the zoo. I LOVED my meatball sandwich served on garlic bread. The meatballs were excellent, and the bonus is they have tots as a side choice. :-) My husband had the firecracker chicken sandwich and my daughter had the Voodoo wrap. Both very good and have the same sweet and spicy sauce. Their menu is large — lots of choices for everyone. The place was busy when we were there, but there is a lot of seating and the service was excellent.

There is nothing precious or foodie or fancy about this place. It’s comfort food, very well done. Like all the Gianino’s places, there are burgers, «pub grub» and wings. Since this restaurant is located on the edge of The Hill, St. Louis’s Italian neighborhood, there’s an emphasis on Italian foods — American Italian foods. Pastas, steak mudega, chicken spedini and pizza. The pizza is St. Louis style, but the fresh crust and toppings lift it above the usual processed-cheese-on-a-cracker that St. Louis-style pizza can be. The ravioli with prosciutto is creamy, salty and delicious. The chicken spedini is far and away my favorite. Tender chunks of pretty lightly breaded chicken, grilled and served in a very garlicky, very lemony butter and wine sauce. Like I said, not fancy, but done very well. I like their burgers. I love their wings — they actually know how to make them crispy without turning them into charcoal sticks. The onion rings are ridiculous, only order them if you’re sharing. Salads are huge and fresh, if not particularly memorable. The service is friendly and generally efficient. The value is excellent. My quibbles: the lights are a little dim and the music is a little loud. Comfortable, tasty, consistent. And that’s why this place is always busy.

Service on this Fourth of July was really painful. The poor dear of a server just had CRS. Can’t Remember Sh*t. Oh I will be right back with whatever. Oh I forgot I will be right back. Nope but three times was the charm. I ordered a specialty burger which consisted of bleu cheese and pesto sauce. This was my total mistake on my part. Too much flavor going on and really not very harmonious. The burger was served medium well and it was more well than medium. But standard what they are with undercooked food sure makes it hard on the establishment to serve at a safe temp. I am thankful they were open and what they served was what I ordered for the most part. I would come back but I am thinking why didn’t get the pizza?

Pros: Friendly service, massive menu(wait for it) Cons: Massive menu, delay in food getting to our table, flavorless grilled chicken, boring fries Details: A co-worker recommended this place and I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. It arrived with a side of boring fries and the chicken had NO flavor. I could see sprinkles of spice but the chicken had no flavor. I asked for Heinz 57 sauce but no dice. I opted for A1 steak sauce instead. So it was a pretty awful lunch. I thought the prices were a bit much… sorta like bar food in a sense. Big disappointment. Oh…and«massive menu» being a con… tells me there’s not much in the kitchen being made in-house and likely lots of big freezers. LESS is more. I appreciate a restaurant with a simple menu. This place isn’t it.

Never had a bad meal here. It’s so good as far as taste is concerned. As far as calling this and Italian place, not so much. I would consider it more of American and Italian food because, let’s face it, would you seriously find a cheeseburger on a real Italian menu. That being said, I will not subtract a star from them for being mislabeled on here. The times that I’ve gone, I’ve gotten white sauce pasta dishes. Both were really good. The white sauce is so tasty and not bland at all. I always seem to end up with a mundane white sauce everywhere else but here. Next food item, the onion rings! Those things are huge. I can believe the size and it seems to make a meal of itself. The onion rings have a good flavor on them. They taste good with or without the onion sauce. Then we have the salad. It is was extremely good. No major complaints. The one minor issue is that I seem to have gotten more topping then lettuce. But that is minor as most places seem to do that. This is all great and I would go back for it again and again. I can’t wait for the next time that I do come back. It would be so delicious.

The first sign that you’re in for a real treat at Joey B’s on the Hill is the fact that the building appears to have been expanded as many as six times since it opened, to accommodate the sheer number of people who want to eat there. Inside, there’s a bar area, a dining room, a separate dining room that functions as a sort of overflow, that I’m thinking may have been added on, and what looks like some sort of year-round patio that’s been added on to the overflow. As a result, the parking lot out front is only big enough for one car, on what would have otherwise been the sidewalk. We ended up parking across the street at what may have been a used car lot, running the risk of someone selling our car while we were inside eating. Definitely don’t leave your keys on the front seat while you dine at Joey B’s on the Hill. That’s no judgment on the surrounding area, mind you — I don’t need my legs broken, I’m just trying to prevent any confusion. The interior at this location is surprisingly nice, apparently having been updated at some point in, I don’t know, the past five years or so? I wouldn’t go so far as to call it swanky, but it has a certain sheen to it, in an exurb subdivision display unit sort of way. There’s huge TVs all over the place, for sports, plus other TVs that just display keno numbers, to add a little excitement to your dinner. The menu consists of typical bar food, i.e. appetizers, sandwiches and what have you, plus — this being the Hill and all — pizza and various other kinds of Italian food. It was a Sunday(yesterday evening) when I went, and they were running a special on fried chicken that came with an entire half a chicken, minus the neck and weird organ meats, corn on the cob and mashed potatoes and gravy. My mom got the fried chicken, and because she can’t eat that much chicken, especially in public, I ended up eating some of it. That shit was amazing. It actually kinda reminded me of Banquet fried chicken. But obviously this was of a much higher quality. For appetizers, we had Buffalo wings, which they refer to as «hot and spicy»; butter garlic wings, redolent of Rawse’s beloved lemon pepper wings, from Wingstop, minus the lemon dust; and t-rav. I remarked to my old man that those were the best t-rav I’d had in years. He said that if the t-rav weren’t on point, in that area, a fight might break out. The menu is lengthy to the point where, if I’d decided to weigh all of my options, I’d still be reading it. I decided to just go with a burger. I went with the Cowboy Burger, which is Joey B’s equivalent of Burger King’s Western Bacon Cheeseburger, a/k/a the Western Bacon«Chee,» as immortalized on the first Tenacious D album. It comes with bacon, onion rings, barbecue sauce, and some ungodly spreadable cheese substance. I’m a firm advocate of spreadable cheese on burgers, including the compound cream cheese they use at Culpeppers. With all that shit piled on it, the burger is too big to fit in your mouth(ayo) without running the risk of dislocating your jaw, and there’s always the risk of huge, nasty globs of processed cheese falling from it and ruining your shirt. Your best bet is to use a stance known as the Hunch, popularized by my idol Guy Fieri. As much as I liked the Cowboy Burger, which I did, I don’t know that I needed half of the shit that comes on it. If I had it to do over again, I might try to talk the waitress into putting that spreadable cheese substance on a regular old bacon cheeseburger. The fries, on the other hand, were run of the mill and kind of an afterthought. They weren’t bad, but they definitely weren’t anything special. I was given the option of ordering dessert, and I declined. There’s never been a time in my life when I couldn’t have eaten more food if I wanted to, but the combined effects of all of the processed junk that comes on the Cowboy Burger plus the fried chicken I ate, not to mention the apps, had me feeling like I was already tempting fate. I figured I’d better quite while I was ahead. Note that I mean this in the best way possible.

Everything on the menu is authentic St Louis style Italian. I’ve been to NYC, San Fran, Boston, Chicago, Philly… I still prefer the Italian on The Hill. Joey B’s is awesome. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

This is my favorite place in all of St Louis. I first went to Joey B’s on the landing back in June of 2013. I am in love with their SOB(sausage onion and bacon). It comes LOADED with meat. It’s a little pricy for a pizza, but after having eaten it, it was worth it. You can have a ton of drinks and hang out here for a long time… which we usually do. This was my first time going to Joey B’s On the Hill. We brought friends with us and it was their first time. And they loved it. You always hope somewhere you suggest for dinner works out. We sat in the bar area and had a great time and great food. We of course had the SOB pizza. They had some other pizza filled with meat.

I thought when I went to the Early Bird Special today I’d be joining a bunch of diners my age and older. To our surprise, we were the oldest ones in the dining room. It was all young professionals taking advantage of the $ 9.95 dinner special. Both of us enjoyed the 8 oz Ribeye which came with a salad and a side dish of your choice. I choose my favorite vegetable, asparagus as mine. It was five stalks, that were prepared perfectly. They were tender with just enough snap. My dining partner went with their pasta with red sauce. He said the penne noodles were done al dente and the sauce was a traditional marinara. The Ribeye’s were tender and we both had them done medium rare. 8 oz may seem small to some, but it was the perfect size for a lite dinner. Our Early Bird Dinner also included a dinner salad, making this a very fulfilling meal. If you’re on a budget or just want to save a few bucks, eat early(3PM — 6PM Monday-Thursday) at Joey B’s and you’ll enjoy a great meal.
