About JOE TESS PLACE


It doesn't really get any more historical then this diner, which has been around for well over 85 years and has kept the locals satisfied for many generations upon generations. Senior citizen come by and reminisce about their visits as young kids, a truly heart-felt aspect to this place. Once a tavern and now a popular fish market, their specialties include the Jumbo Clam Strips and Catfish Fingers that you just can't get enough of. Visiting this spot that has stood the test of time since the thirties, it's without question a no-frills seafood destination for seafood lovers everywhere. A family style tavern that makes you feel welcomed and a place you're surely return to time and time again. We love the interior decor which has some kick-ass old school neon beer signs, mounted fish on the walls and the fact that the bar is shaped like a boat really makes it a fun visit. Most items here are friend, and pretty much fried to perfection. Joe Tess has got it figured out and we strongly recommend they just keep doing this they've been doing them for years. Come get some fried seafood goodness, fresh and hot!
