Joyce's Tavern, Staten Island NY

Don’t go unless you are a white Republican
They openly discriminate and allow patrons to do so as well
I’ve gone several times over the years as it’s a local option and the number of times I’ve hear the n word…the fa* term and such is sickening
Food went downhill as well
Sorry
It’s 2023 no need to have to deal with this behavior

Fantastic 'Joyce's Burger with a really nice 1/2 rack appetizer. Complete with draught Guiness what's not to like.

We come here once a week with our kids. Great environment to come hang out. Never rushed and the food is always excellent. Servers and bartenders are always wonderful, too.

The stew over noodles was excellent. Blue Moon went down well. This is a local watering hole with great food and excellent service.

Great place to get together. Always a friendly and good crowd. The bartenders will never leave your glass empty.

Place is very greasy and dirty. I wouldn’t recommend coming here. Ordered a burger had to send it back twice because it was over cooked both times. Only good thing are the appetizers but any frozen appetizer tastes good when drunk, spend your money somewhere else.

Went in for a couple drinks. Nice atmosphere. Jimmy was a class act and there were a lot of nice people there. Wednesday night had 2 dollar sliders! Live music on Friday and Saturdays.

Booooo. Gave no reason for shutting down at the heart of lunchtime at a soccer tournament. Made tons of families wait. Man running it not apologetic at all. HOT day. Only food truck. Almost took pleasure in making hungry families wait till HE was good and ready.

Do not eat here. Food grade from the city is a B and that’s being generous. Grease and grime everywhere, mice running all about. Order food? Expect it to be dry or the greasiest thing ever. Order a steak? Get ready to get the thinnest and most well done steak you’ve ever eaten. Just going to the bar? Expect the loudest music being blasted in youre ear and terrible service. Terrible establishment I recommend not wasting youre money here.

I walked into Joyce’s Tavern for the first and last time today. There was one guy and a bartender having a conversation and when I walked in (probably because I look really young but I’m 26) and gave me the most judgemental looks ever when I went to the bar. I tried saying hi and showing him my ID. And the bartender said “Get out of here, I’m not serving you. ” And I left. It was just rude and unprofessional, and I’m never coming back after that 5 seconds.

There is a "separated" room where it is possible to do meetings for clubs.
The food is good. On Tuesday there is 2- For 1 Burgers when you dine-in

Place has absolutely vile food. If I could give 0 stars I would. It is astonishing that it receives good reviews frequently. All the food is clearly frozen. All of the dishes are either piping hot (as if it was thrown in the microwave), or reheated in the oven and is cold in the center. The staff are always pleasing and willing to make things right. I noticed I wasn't the only table complaining about my food, and it is sad to see the waitstaff have to endure complaints. The owners are clearly cheap drunks that get the bare minimum, low quality food that is required to somehow stay open. Also not very surprised the health rating is so low. Place is filthy with an outdated, and cold ambiance. There was also an older man rapidly darting back and forth from what I assume is the kitchen door, looking stressed and making the entire dining room very uncomfortable while me and the mrs were dining. It's a shame this place has fallen this low and it is in good gesture I post this review to maybe change things.

Hello. I recently dined here (about a week ago) and felt compelled to post a review. I've never reviewed a restaurant before but the sheer fact of how bad the food was turned me to do this. The beer selection was great, and the staff were acceptable. The food however, was deplorable. Cheap, frozen, and poorly made food slapped together and called a "special". When did restaurants start calling frozen reheated food, specials? Must have missed the memo. I had the fish and chips and it was so bad I literally could not finish my plate. I decided to try the "homemade" desserts as I figured this might have changed my mind about the place. I was very wrong. The "homemade" dessert was a slice of store bought cheesecake. I used to dine at this establishment 10-15 years ago and the food was amazing. Whoever these new owners are clearly lost the plot and have no clue what they are doing in the restaurant business. Cheap A*holes. I didn't think the situation could get much worse than the food but this was the cherry on top. As much as it pains me to say, it's best this place closes it's doors.

Very grateful for Joyce’s tavern and their staff. We were able to enjoy a great meal in between viewings for my grandpas wake around back at Scalias.

Joyces was ready for all 25+ of us. Ken was behind the bar and served us quickly. The wait staff was amazing and brought out the food as quickly as we ordered it to ensure we made it back for the next session.

The food was amazing as always. Corned beef was the #1 ordered item and everyone was blown away.

Thank you Joe, Joe and Kenny

Was great! Hospitable staff (properly dressed, in contrast to a previous SI dining experience) and music wasn't too loud.

Had my son's graduation party there. The food was amazing, The whole entire staff was incredible, hard working, friendly, always went above and beyond to make my guests satisfied. Most Exceptional treatment and service from everyone! Thank you everyone at Joyce's Tavern for making Jesse's graduation special for us all. Awsome Job! Billy

My friend Dylan randomly asked me to come here with him once after a very fun Sunday I had in Holmdel Park in New Jersey. While the kitchen was closed by the time we got there, my friend Dylan certainly ordered his fair share of drinks. He got two Guinness and one Jameson on the rocks. Since my friend Kev loves shilling Jameson to everyone he knows, I even took a picture of it to send to him. Being the teetotaler that I am, I simply had a water with lemon. Since I had so many refills though, I opted to give the bartender a 5$ dollar tip. The place has a nice environment with a very authentic Staten Island and Irish element to it. The bartender was a very cool guy too. If anyone's in the area, I think it's a nice hidden gem to go try out.

I felt if you weren't a regular, you were ignored. Ad a past patron, I was very put off by the service
