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.

    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!

    The entire evening was fantastic! They asked if we wanted to sit by the live music, which we did, and the singers took requests and engaged with us and the other patrons all night. Our server was attentive and personable. The food and drinks were delicious. We had appetizers, entrees, pizzas, dessert, even fun cocktails and beer. Joe’s on Higgins felt like a neighborhood restaurant, welcoming and friendly. We will definitely go back!

    We have been coming to Joe’s since they opened on Higgins. I even held my baby shower at their private space. Frank helped me with the shower. He went above and beyond for the event to be smooth and perfect. We came today for their lunch with Santa event and it was a great event! This is a great restaurant especially for the neighborhood.
