Louisiana Joe's — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

An experience in effective listening. my daughter and i went to this place for lunch. the decor was nice. there were hardly any customer in the place. My daughter wanted the crab cakes and i ordered the blackened fish wrap. I placed my order at the counter; one on one. The cashier looked as if she understood my order. Two sandwiches and two drinks was what we ordered. Our experience went SOUTH from there. The counter person heard what she wanted to hear. My order was fine, but my daughters order was wrong. I had already paid. what i paid for cost more than what we received. The waitress said she was apologized and walked away, never once offering to reimburse me the difference. So; I tipped these people for getting the order wrong. Needless to say I did not here " thank you come again" as...

OMG!

I don't think I've ever had a better sandwich.

I cannot believe we haven't found this place before.

We got the Louisiana Roast Pork and the Brisket Grilled Cheese "Shop" sandwiches, a side of Cajun Fries and the Chopped Pork Panini.

This is the type of meal where you fast for days ahead of time because it's so buttery, messy and sloppy; it is worth every, mouthwatering bite. 🤤

I don't remember the last time I enjoyed a sandwich that much. I couldn't finish it! I did neatly wrap it up for another time though. 😉

I had the panini which was dripping with chopped pork shoulder and belly with garlic mayo, bacon and cheese. So sinful! 😈

My daughter had the Brisket Grilled Cheese and said: "if this is how I die so be it" said it was better than bacon....

Awesome Louisiana cooking in a little storefront restaurant! Everything is great, but the andouille mac & cheese is one of my favorites. Also love the shrimp po boy. The red beans and rice make you feel like you're visiting your grandma on the bayou. Jambalaya is all good and so is the gumbo. Everything is made fresh so it takes a few minutes to get your order but it's worth the wait!

The crawfish po boy is one of the things not to miss. Loaded, and I mean LOADED, with crawfish. But the best thing on the menu is the Shrimp Etoufee. Its so wonderful that if you're a good person, when you die and go to heaven they give you a bowl of it as you pass through the Pearly Gates. I...
