Waterfront restaurant and bar that serves seafood, burgers, Mexican and comfort food with outdoor bar and seating on the dock. we have live music every weekend and open mic on Thursday.
We all know that BBQ ribs will never equal kale in the health department, but Ania and Joe Catalano, the husband and wife chef team, are on a mission to use the cleanest, healthiest ingredients in their cooking to create quality dishes they are proud to serve to their customers.
It all began with a tiny "hole in the wall" take out location in Milford where Joey perfected the couple’s version of dry rubbed BBQ and fresh Tex Mex cuisine. Their signature dry rub has no sugar in it at all, unlike most traditional BBQ, and the sauces are sweetened with only a little organic agave nectar, and a touch of molasses. The Catalanos also use Himalayan sea salt in all of their dishes including the rims of their fresh squeezed margaritas which are also sweetened with organic agave nectar.
When the opportunity arose to open another Joey C’s on the beautiful Housatonic river at the Dockside Marina in Stratford, they took the challenge and called it the “Boathouse” with a varied menu that included lots of seafood, the original BBQ and dishes that satisfy every palate...including vegans and those on gluten-free diets.
