Joe's American BBQ

Awesome BBQ sandwiches courtesy of the legendary Joe Bastianich! Located inside the 2nd floor of the trendy il Mercato Centrale inside the Milan Central train station. The fries, Mac & Cheese and nachos are excellent too! Staff can converse in English and are very helpful. Can seat anywhere in the mercato complex. Recommended.

I ate at the smash burger part of this place downstairs. Burgers resemble nothing as advertised, beef patty was dry and literally 0.4cm thick. Very rude and In-competent Indian served me, he forgot the pickles and tried to charge me to add them. Charged me extra for sauce for my fries which came 10 mins before the burger and were cold. Gave me the wrong sauce and didn't want to swap them out because I already used one. Honestly worst service I have had in months of eating out. €16 euro for burger and fries that were garbage. Avoid this place.

The central market of Milano Centrale has a quite cool cyberpunk atmosphere. @ Joe's BBQ you can enjoy burgers and other classic "fast food" products but with a slightly higher quality. The real problem is the price, which is absolutely insane for a burger of that size, with no table service. I choose a 13 euro product, and it is served on a paper base placed over a metallic tray. French fries are not included and it cost extra 5 euros for them. Do not even mention for the cheesecake, which was good taste but a small slice cost the utopic price of 7 euros! Staff are ok, but not very friendly to be honest. I kindly asked a bigger slice for that price and was no response from their side... ( since they cut it in front of you from the main whole cake ) All the items they are selling are overpriced... I wouldn't recommend to eat here if you are hungry, but only if you wanna enjoy the environment.

I like pastrami sandwich a lot, tasted it around the world, and was delighted to find it at Joe’s. The meat is great, the bread, however, been mediocre recently. Two times in two months (July and August ‘22, see photos) the Joe’s Ptazesco Pastrami sandwich came with thick white bread instead of rye or whole grain (I recall rye/whole was served back in March ‘22). That mismatched bread spoils the whole experience and taste (imagine sweetish white breakfast bread with mustard and pickles that go with that sandwich). It is not what is being advertised on the flyers (see photo), cashier does not mention the bread while taking order, and, at €21/sandwich, the experience is short of a disappointment. I expect Joe’s to get this sandwich right.

Not easy to find yet awesome once you do. Service felt great and had wine tasting while I waited for my food to be prepared, which I imagine the best mix of America and Italy. Brisket makes your eyes pop wide open! Sausage was great too!
