There was no one to greet us at the door, and no sign indicating whether or not we should seat ourselves. The booths and tables are close together and we could hear our neighbors conversations like we were sitting in the booth with them. The service I will say was fast and efficient and friendly. The food was not amazing,... More

We stopped in based on the good reviews. There's no sign to tell you whether you sit or are to be seated. No one greets you. I had to run down a waitress to ask. The tables are really close together and small but the booths looked comfortable. The waitresses here are super fast. They barely stop long enough to... More

I've eaten at Joe's 4-5 times in the past. However during my most recent visit, food wasn't quite as tasty as I had remembered. Alfredo sauce came out bland.

Ah, small hometown dining is all it should be at Joe's. Seating can be a problem on busy nights, but they move people through quickly. Food is prepared to order and they are more than helpful adapting to a Vegan diet. Can be a little noisy on family night, but it is still a good bargain and great food!

Nice building with lots of energy and average food. The evening was good just not excellent. When we arrived every seat was full and had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. Service was Ok however our server was working tables in two rooms and was having problems being everywhere at once. The food was good but not anything... More

Amazing food, ordered stuffed shells that in my opinion was better then some I've had from Boston. The pizza was decent, great sauce lots of cheese pretty good flavor. Service was very friendly. Value was decent but could be better. Even gave us a military discount. Thanks Joes.

The food is always great at Joe's. We loved the pizza and pastas. Price is very reasonable (around $6-15/plate) The service is excellent, the staff are always very attentive and fast. It's a great hometown restaurant. The setting is very nice and a great setting for a date night. I would highly recommend for a nice sit down meal.

Thsi is food worth going out of your way for, downtown across from the courthouse. We had salad, pizza and wine - all of it was wonderful. Service was among the best in any restaurant anywhere. Olga was a treat. Price was right.
