I wonder if Charles Sarkis has someone from Back Bay follow this site...eight to one he'd be firing someone if he finds out about this.

Hmmm I've never had a bad experience at this location but, like most Boston eateries, I imagine the staff turnover is pretty high. Bad service makes even a good meal suck.

I've been rather happy when I've been to Joe's (in several locations). One thing about the waterfront eatery is they have a sign indicating the availability of public restrooms. I'd give them a brownie point just for that.

I had the two worst meals of my life at this Joe's. I've always thought it is a shame that Boston, which has such a beautiful waterfront, has so few restaurants/bars with any kind of view. What's the deal with that?

I completly agree here. The location is what makes it fantastic. I just wish that they would try a little harder!

I've found Joe's to be very hit or miss. Their burgers are great though! And the waterfront location is really what makes the place. Many a summer night were spent at an outdoor table with a cold glass of Sam.
