Joe’s on Higgins has been serving the Jefferson Park neighborhood and local families since the 1950’s. Our family is thrilled to be still serving yours. A little corner restaurant packed full of all sorts of exciting Italian dishes, wines, and lots of heart. Three generations later, Higgins’ is woven deeply into our story and our most secret ingredient.
We love it here, it’s all so good.

    Food service was ssslowwww and awful! 4 of us - one was served 15 minutes before the rest. He was finished eating before the rest of the food came out. Remaining entrees were served - fried shrimp were hot but the short rib pasta was cold. Must have been sitting there. Short rib pasta was also SO greasy. Love live music except when you cannot hear the people at your own table. Good aperol spritz. Good tossed salad. We were not asked if we wanted coffee or desert before bill came.

    We took some friends here that had never been. We like this restaurant. Just a neighborhood place, great food, good service. Family friendly, kid friendly without catering to kids. Very comfortable and welcoming. Our friends loved it and said they would be back. It is one of our favorites.

    Delicious food and drinks. Server was attentive. They have three TVs in the main dining area, along with a digital jukebox. Would definitely go back.

    Any chance we get, when we are in the area, we love to go to Joe's on Higgins. It's a casual place but a very nice atmosphere. The staff is excellent, especially Ashley, who has waited on us on several occasions. Very attentive and friendly. But everyone is wonderful there, as well. And wow, the food is excellent! There is not anything we've had that we didn't like. Everything is delicious. They also have take-out and a private room if you want to host a party. Highly recommend this restaurant!
