   Always very busy. Had to wait 10 minutes for our reservation to be seated. No problem! Everyone was super friendly, waitress was excellent! Chowder was great as always, steak and cheese egg rolls were delicious. The beer battered fish and chips were quite overdone. My forno pasta was barely mediocre. Too much breadcrumbs and the chicken was either ground or shredded and had minimal flavor The mozzarella was scare to the point it might as well had been non existent because it was a tease. I do like this restaurant but tonight, the later part of thr meal was bleh. Kudos for an excellent busser staff flipping tables and to the waitstaff who hustle ! The staff here are MVPs!

   Unfortunately we were told by our waitress that they were shorthanded in the kitchen on this particular evening. The service was fine. The food was good. We were seated at 5:30 pm and our entrees were set down in front of us at 6:30 pm. I really wouldn't have cared but we were seated next to a family with a crying baby. It makes for a long night.

   My fiancé and I had a great experience! Our server, Nariah, was wonderful and super friendly! We tried a couple of the specials, one of the starters and an entree and they were awesome! We have been happy with our experience every time we’ve gone! can’t wait for our next visit!

   You can always count on Joe’s for consistently great food and atmosphere. It was all about the Mustard Crusted BLT and the Stroganoff this trip. The food was delicious and our server was awesome!

   Consistantly delivers the most delicious food in a welcoming environment. Reminds me of the sitcom Cheers . Everyone knows you and you are a part of their family…..

   We love Joe’s, however at 4:00 pm last Sunday it was packed, noisy and the service was very slow. My husband ordered a large beer and was given the smaller amount. We didn’t complain. My super crunch salad, that 2 weeks ago was incredible, tasted bad ( bad fruit?) and was not crunchy. The chicken dumplings were burnt on the outside but tasty on the inside. My son and husband had spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were good but the pasta was overcooked. Not a good meal for the money. But we will return, because normally their food and service is terrific.

   I always love the food at Joe's but our waitress, Amber, brought our experience to a new level. She went over and above to check on us and ask if we needed anything. She was very friendly and interacted with my special needs son

    My friends my husband and I all enjoyed our meals, plus we had a great booth! Our server let us know she was a college student, was very pleasant but she presented us with the wrong bill, came back few minutes later to apologize that wasn’t the amount…..she had given us someone else’s!
