Joe Kools’ is a Karon restaurant that takes the unusual route of marketing itself as the “world’s worst restaurant” with “lousy food and overpriced drinks”. There are a few Phuket restaurants about which you might say this, but thankfully Joe Kool’s is not one of them.

Open from 7:30 am until 1 am, Joe Kool’s in Karon serves large portions of American food, such as ribs, burger, sausages, steaks and various other greasy dishes.

For the size of the portions at this Karon restaurant, the food is well priced. The ambience is fun and laid back and Joe Kool’s comes recommended. Being open so late for a restaurant, the place can become fairly busy on weekends.

Joe Kool’s is also a fun nighttime hangout, with a range of cocktails and beers and other standard bar drinks. Most nights of the week there is live music to entertain the masses.
