Review:
Here's a theatre district standby if ever there was one: From the neon sign high above Restaurant Row to the simple decor, highlighted by Al Hirshfield caricatures (mostly these drawings are of less recognizable, but ever-influential producers, critics, and behind-the-scenes theatre types) to the Ethel Merman recording in the background, Broadway Joe's is no-frills but honest-to-the-bone. And if bones are your thing, especially those surrounded by juicy cuts of beef and tender chicken, this is your place. It's really a steak house, with a selection that includes a rich prime rib, a grilled filet, a New York strip charred to perfection. There's even calves liver served with onion rings, and if you're not in the mood for beef, you can choose lamb or pork chops. Lighter eaters may opt for seafood: baked salmon, lobster tails or scallops. And there's a pasta for every palate, with such toppings as grilled steak and shrimp scampi. Desserts are classic, with carrot cake, cheesecake and chocolate Grand Marnier cake available to satisfy a sweet tooth. And the congenial staff is geared to get you to your show on time.
