Joey D’s has been a favorite restaurant of ours for longer than I can remember. Over the years we’ve sampled almost the entire menu. You could easily close your eyes and point at a random selection and be happy with your choice. However, there are a few favorites that require mentioning. The steaks are incredibly reliable and delicious. I can’t tell you the number of times we’ve enjoyed their filet mignon. And, on every occasion it has been cooked to perfection. Just the right amount of charring on the outside makes the interior pink and warm center nearly melt in your mouth. The contrast of crisp char and tender pink meat make the perfect combination, allowing all of the flavors in the meat shine.
Another standout… New Orleans Spicy Shrimp, their interpretation of New Orleans style BBQ Shrimp, whole shrimp are sauteed in butter, wine and spices. The whole shrimp are served in a large bowl with the spicy butter sauce and a chunk of toasted french bread. It is a messy proposition, tearing the shrimp apart with your fingers and then dipping it into the butter. But, it is worth the effort. Cooking the shrimp in their shells keeps them plump and moist, while the accompanying butter sauce adds the right level of spicy heat.
Also, don’t miss the honey-butter croissants. They are freshly baked and drizzled with a honey butter glaze. These feather light croissants with their sweet glaze make an interesting start to your meal.
