    Hubby’s sandwich was ok. My poke bowl was almost all rice and wontons. This has been a recent change the last few times I had it- cost savings perhaps? Was hungry when I left. We’ll take a break from Not Your Average Joe being our regular as it was Average at best

    As one of the last NYAJ in our area, we are happy to see this location thriving. Their food is consistently good, however if you come early their classic bread may not be warm. The meatloaf is a family favorite and did not disappoint.

    Had a great Cobb Salad and my wife had the Buffalo pizza which was also good. NYAJs is one of my few regular haunts.
