🦪❤️ Happy National Food Service Day from Joe’s Oyster Bar! ❤️🦪

Today, we celebrate the incredible people who make Joe’s Oyster Bar what it is — our amazing team!

From the kitchen to the dining room, from opening the doors to the final table of the night, each of you brings hard work, dedication, heart, and a commitment to making our guests feel welcome.

Food service is so much more than serving a meal. It’s serving people. It’s creating memories. It’s making someone’s day a little brighter. And we are blessed to have a team that does that every day.

To our cooks, servers and everyone who works behind the scenes — thank you. Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and Joe’s would not be Joe’s without each and every one of you.

We are grateful for your hard work, proud of the team we have built, and thankful for the heart you put into serving our community.

We’ve had a few people call to see if we’re open, yes we’re open! We closed a couple of days last week to upgrade a few things but we’re back to regular hours.

On September 3rd, 2005, Nathan Joshua Ramirez, our first grandson, was born. Joe Castillo Sr, owner of Joe’s Oyster Bar, decided to create a special plate, thus the Nathan Special. It is one of the favorite plates for many of our customers. It consists of
1 Homemade crab cake,
1 Fillet of Flounder, 4 jumbo shrimp, and it is served with french fries and homemade cole slaw.
Happy 21st Birthday to THE Nathan and the Nathan Special!
