Love this place. Happy hour on weekdays from 3-7 and 10- close. I've had the burgers, nachos, cheese fries, and salads. I enjoyed them all. The bartenders are great, sit at the bar for good service. Minus one star because waitresses are slow and absent minded.

Decided to try this one to compare to the one in boynton. HUGE mistake! If you want to be sized up and starred at to the point you feel uncomfortable then come here if not try the one in boynton! 100 times better

Keep your expectations modest and you will be fine. Cold beer, wings, big salads and burgers will keep you on the right path. Don't venture in expecting a culinary delight, it's a sports bar. Bartenders are good, the owner is weak so any complaints will fall in dead ears...hence my suggestion to keep it simple and stick to the things that are hard to mess up. Cheers!

I gave this place a try the other day. The first words to us were that the credit card machine wasn't working. That's ok, things happen. We still decided to stay. We ordered our drinks and my buddy was brought a glass "half full" of tea and was told that was all they had and that they had to make more. The restaurant had just opened, there should have been no excuse for this. I then order a burger medium well. Upon receiving it, I thought I was bad all year and was given a piece of coal because it was burnt so bad. Never again. Maybe it was just a bad day. I will say that the servers were very nice.

Atrocious would be giving a compliment! The only thing that made the service look serviceable was the food. My wife, who never sends anything back, sent her chicken pot pie back. She said it tasted 'tangy,' which probably isn't a good thing. Our friends sent back one of their meals too (the open faced roast beef). He said it tasted like it was microwaved--and the bread was hard. Our cups were empty. We asked for silverware and were brought one napkin for 7 people. It should've been a sign when we walked in at 5:30 on a Sunday when football is on, and there was absolutely no wait. In fact, most of the restaurant was empty. Never again!

Don't distribute 1 stars often but this establishment deserves it. Stopped in last night for a late dinner with a friend of mine and her toddler-aged son. A happy hour has been advertised from 10-closing, I believe, so we say "even better, let's dine here". The hostess provided the menus and the server came over... it was about 9:30 or so, just to give you a timeline. The place wasn't crowded or overly busy. As we look over the menu, the waitress says nothing about the Kids Eat Free special, until we ask and to which she stated-- yes, I guess he would eat free today. Good to know, right?! Anywho, we place our orders and tell her we would like our drinks at 10pm. Food gets delivered at 9:50. We do not see the waiter until we ask for the bill at 10:30. At no point did she ask if the food was good-- it was mediocre by the way-- or refill our empty cups. I ordered the Alabama Joe favorite: FAT PIG and my friend ordered the Meatloaf of which she eventually got the mac and cheese for her toddler. The mac and cheese tasted like Easy Mac. The meatloaf was good but not great, the mashed potatoes were bland. The FAT PIG is small. It's pulled pork served on a hoagie and a slice of bacon cut in half on top. The steak fries they were served with were not appealing either. Not planning on returning or recommending..

Nothing fancy here. Just decent as Edub put it. Lots of tv's. Service is decent. Nothing to write home about, but I've been back there a few times and will continue to go back.

I was toatly disappointed to see ,that dont allow e-cigs or vapping in there. Its water vapor totaly harmless to others there. So far this is only place. That I have ever seen that dont allow it, even my church allows it. We will spend are money elsewhere.

Alabama Joes is a decent place with decent food and decent service. Come here often to watch the fights and have dinner. Nothing special but overall an average place.

We love coming here. For us, it's got a neighborhood feel like "Cheers". We sit at the bar, have gotten to know the bartenders a little, and always feel very welcomed. The beer is cold, drinks are strong, and the service is perfect. Typical bar food, plus dinners and salads, we think the food is great!

I tried giving this place a second chance today. Without failure we received horrible service from the same waitrees on our first visit. We shouldn't have to ask for our bill three times because the waitress failed to check on us. However had no problem texting on her phone.

Another great lunch with a great waitress Nicky! Food great and fast and service was with a smile!!! Always a better experience here than the Boynton Beach location. I believe there is a reason it's referred to as #2 and it's not bc it's the "2nd" location.... Lol!

Nice neighborhood sports bar. Bartenders are great. Better during football season and MMA fights. I'm a sucker for bar food and they satisfy that. Always did the bar never did the dine-in thing so can't rate the waitresses. I recommend the chicken quesadilla

I really liked this place It kinda reminded me of a duffy's but to me all Sports Bars are kinda the same... They had nice modern tvs the waitress was very friendly the whole staff was friendly... The food was typical bar food but was very tasty.. I got a bowl of chili and it was very good and had a nice kick to it my friend got the grilled chicken sandwich and he cleaned his plate.. I went in there expecting bar food and wasn't disapointed it did its job... The crowd was nice and rowdy and the place was a nice size and very clean.. Id go back...

We went to watch the Alabama game at this venue, figuring it would as it's name be Bama friendly for fans of them. Well were we ever wrong, Not one Bama fan and like pulling teeth to get them to put a television on the game. The owner which is from New York stood there drinking water. Why would a guy buy a bar and name it Alabama Joe's when he has no interest in anything from that state and the menu was typical run of the mill all Fried food, and nothing southern, just like as if you were at Fridays or any other chain of restaurants. Sadly to say we left, being's it was evident the name of this place had nothing to do with it's agenda. We would never go back, there is nothing on the menu to make it stand out, Just typical fried foor greasy things to eat:(

Was recommended to this dive and was sorely disappointed. I cannot rate the service except to say there was none. Was served my soda in a small plastic Solo type cup, filled 80% with ice. When I asked if they had glasses, server went on & on about how some people order a soda and 2 glasses of water and how one table had 11 people & ordered 15 drinks. Well great for Alabama Joe's! You'd think they could buy more glasses or dishwashers with all the $$$ they're raking in. Took forever to get order, which was cold and incorrect; couldn't find server! Guess why? He was busy texting on his phone, apparently the scores of the games to his friends! Would not return. They have no respect for the customer!

I have been to Alabama Joe's on two different occasions. The first was during a football game crowded with Jersey fans. It was so loud and people were packed into the place. My date and I could barely hear each other. But my last visit will truly be my last visit. Again, I was on a date. Upon arriving we decided to sit outside on the patio. It's nothing fancy, but it was a nice night. Our Server was friendly and got our drinks and menus quickly. We ordered some nachos with white chili sauce. They came out really quickly but were nothing specials. After about an hour of being there I excused myself to the restroom. Once I got to the door there was an older bald man guarding the door. He told me I couldn't come in. Joking, I laughed and joked with him for a few moments. He started to get a little more serious and said "no really, you can't come in. We're packed to capacity, the fire department would shut me down". Then some dude in his very early 20's or younger walks up and says "I'm with Henry". The door guy/manager/Owner (whatever he was) says" oh yeah I know you", and let's him in! Mind you THIS IS NOT A FANCY CLUB it's a sports bar in Lantana and I'm a customer! Shocked, I retreat to my table a little dumbfounded and embarrassed. Our Server returns and my date explains the situation. He then brings me to the door and explains I am a customer. The Door guy says he hasn't seen me, and tells the Server not undermine him. Then says "how do I know she's going to come back". I explain my date is on the patio and he says pointing across the parking lot "go to McDonald's". At that point I asked my check and we left. Everyone I have told this story to has said they would not have paid the check but I didn't want to stoop to his level. In fact, I was just going to write the owner an email but there is no contact info on the web site. This restaurant is a real JOKE!

Giving my beloved Duffy's a run for the money. Have a regular lunch group now meeting each Friday. Charming (OK - they're hot) servers, reasonable prices and good food. Have sampled the WANGS (wings), burgers, Friday Fish Fry was outstanding Haddock, specialty salads, mini-burger sliders. All in our group of 5 are happy with the place. Ask for a "lunch card" if you go, which gives free 10th lunch and 10 percent discount for lunch. after first visit. It's also nice to see some "younger" guests including a few well-behaved infants with families, in contrast to to the assisted living places nearby.

Just open on 10/31/08, this sports bar is located in a large shopping center right near Home Goods and TJ Max. As a sports bar goes, I give Alabama Joe's 5 stars. There are over a dozen huge flat screen TVs, a very attentive bar staff, plenty of seating at a really nicely laid out bar, and inexpensive drinks. Given the southern theme, they have a bunch of fun southern style drinks including a very good Hurricane! Don't plan on driving after that sucker! If that's not enough, they have a section set up where patrons can play Wii games. A few people were playing a game of Wii bowling as they stumbled around with their drinks. OK, now onto the not so good part. They have a great looking menu with a nice variety of salads, wings (or as they call them wangs), ribs, sandwich's, and burgers. I had to try one of their specialities, a $15 20oz burger called 'The Fat Bastard". It should have been called slow bastard as it took over 40 minutes to come out. When it finally came out, the outside of each of the 2 10oz burgers served on half a bun were charred, the inside under cooked and the burger really lacked any sort of seasoning. The portions are large (especially the salads) but they have some work that needs to be done! I give the food 2 stars.

Lousy service and bad attitudes at the bar. Food mediocre at best. Not very responsive to crowd suggestions as heard a lot of complaints the evening I was there. Good sports bar tv's though if you want to catch a game, but that's where it ends.

This is a great neighborhood sports bar. We visit it almost every Friday night. It has a friendly staff and the food is excellent - the best "wangs" in town! The restaurant attracts a good crowd ranging from families to sports fans. There are about 15 large LCD and 3 projection TVs throughout the restaurant (even a few in the outside patio). The staff will gladly switch to any game of your choice. There are a few arcade games to keep the kids occupied. I definitely recommend it.

STAY AWAY!! We ate at this spot yesterday afternoon. First, the server took forever to even acknowledge we were sitting, seriously waited 15 minutes before a server came over for a drink order. She was polite, but ran away before I could also put in the appetizer order also (I had plenty of time to read through each choice thoroughly) When we put in thew appetizer order, It took another 20 minutes for them to come out. We ordered mozzarella sticks, they were OK you could tell they were frozen, but still palatable. Our server took our entree order and low and behold again we waited, 45 minutes this time for our food. Our server was apologetic for the long wait; however, it didn't make up for the fact that the burger I ordered (The 'Bear') was absolutely horrible. It was the worst thing I have tasted in a restaurant in quite some time. The server told me that she informed the manager and she took it off of our check. The manager never came over to say hey sorry, let me make it up to you or to get any feedback. This place has awfully low standards, it clearly shows and worst of all, they don't care. Best of luck Joe
