Stop At Joe's Food Store

Our go-to convenience store in the neighborhood. Selection and staff are the absolute best! Family-owned and ran operation. We always feel very welcomed with each visit. Say hello to Lee for us!

Stop at Joe's Food Store. For Real.

Joe's is one of those gems you can only find in Montrose or in the Heights. The store is owned and operated by folks I can only assume to be Joe's immediate family. When you walk in, you can easily get distracted by the slot machines or all the asian tchotchke's like waving fortune cats and little Buddhas with fat bellies.

The best thing, to me, about Joe's is their fantastic beer selection. As we all know, a good portion of the Heights is dry. I actually don't even know where to buy liquor in the Heights, much less good beer. Joe's has anything you want from giant cans of ice cold 4Loko to six packs of No Label Brewing's Jalapeno Ale (delicious). I can count on Joe's to always have something I've never heard of stocked in their cooler. Especially great, is that you can probably go an entire year only drinking Texas brewed craft beers from Joe's. In fact, most of the aisle's in this food store are dedicated to beers, wines, and mixers. So if you are looking for grapes rather than hops, they can help you out.

There are always multiple family member's working the counters and I always have an excellent encounter with them. This is a must-stop place in the Heights if you are looking for a convenient store. They are also right next door to the new Lei Low Rum Bar, which serves a cocktail in a giant shell with orchids and crazy stuff floating all in it. Pretty great little shopping center, if you ask me.

Miss Joe is one of the nicest people I ever met.Cesar

I LOVE MISS JOE SO MUCH

Remarkable selection of beer at a high gas station price.

Convenient for residents!

Clean bathroom rude cashier even after I bought their ridiculously high prices cigs after using the restroom

I don’t normally post but I’ve had the sneaking suspicion that Stop at Joe’s has been overpriced (despite their labeled prices) for over a year now. Today I tested it. I got two sets of beers with a preconceived price before going to the counter. Unfortunately, when I got to the counter the cash attendant informed me that the michelob ultras were $17.99, despite their listed price of $11.99. I informed them that this was incorrect to which they said that they would respectfully prove me wrong. We walked to the drinks in question and, unfortunately for them, they had the price listed in the attached image (i.e., $11.99). The attendant who questioned my original pricing, immediately tried to scratch off the price informing me that it differed from their on system price. I balked and snapped the attached photo while they scraped it away. When I approached the register, they let me know in no unconditional terms that I was misinformed (despite my photo) and that if I didn’t like it, I should shop elsewhere. I told them that I didn’t respect their business practices and I proceeded to purchase the correctly priced beer (declining the overpriced beer). I’d warn anyone that chooses to do business with Stop at Joe’s to ensure that they know the pricing before they proceed to checkout and, even if they do know the price, be prepared for a wild ride as the attendants change the price live if you prove them wrong.
