    I’ve dined here a few times before and always have a great experience. My go-to items are two wings and a waffle, the Mac and cheese, and the red beans and rice. I also enjoy the cocktails and that they show sporting events such as Monday Night Football and Lakers games.

    The cocktails, food and service are absolutely perfect at Joyce. This was my second visit. Enjoyed the Merry Mayhem Uncle Nearest cocktail (a nice, sweet and smooth take on the old fashioned), started with deliciously fresh and warm cornbread. Followed with a fresh goat cheese and beets salad. Shared the full rack of pork ribs and the mac and cheese - both incredibly good. Loved the light spicy kick on the ribs. I was celebrating my birthday and they brought me a really good banana pie with a candle. Loved the food and the great service.
