RESTAURANT REVIEW-- JOEY B ’ S
By Theresa Colombini
Nicknamed the restaurant that is “ redefining casual ,” Joey B ’ s is a great place to hang out and eat with your family or friends . One of the best things about Joey B ’ s is that for older kids who are at that awkward stage between kids ’ meals and adults ’, Joey B ’ s offers plentiful kids ’ meals , especially cavanelli with cream sauce – a . k . a . alfredo . ( Try pairing with tater tots ; not the healthiest , but pretty good !) Plates of pulled-pork nachos are a towering 8 ” tall ! Choose from sitting inside with lots of views of TV ’ s or outside on the funky-shaped patio . Located on both the Hill and Manchester Rd . in Ballwin , Joey B ’ s is a great place that you won ’ t want to miss !
