Joey’s Seafood & Grill
12455 W. Capitol Drive
Go for the fish & chips, as the
haddock is in a good crisp batter. Joey’s adds nautical charm to a small
strip mall and the bar makes a comfortable watering hole. The prices
are family-friendly. In general if you keep it simple Joey’s is
enjoyable. You will not find oysters or Maine lobsters here but then
again the prices are affordable, especially for weekday lunches. (J.B.)
