About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • Child-friendly
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.

    The food was very good, service was also nice, although our server was very busy. The only real downside for us was the lack of window shades over the floor to ceiling windows, making us have to constantly shift to avoid sun right in our eyes. Other than that all was great.

    Food service was ssslowwww and awful! 4 of us - one was served 15 minutes before the rest. He was finished eating before the rest of the food came out. Remaining entrees were served - fried shrimp were hot but the short rib pasta was cold. Must have been sitting there. Short rib pasta was also SO greasy. Love live music except when you cannot hear the people at your own table. Good aperol spritz. Good tossed salad. We were not asked if we wanted coffee or desert before bill came.
