We didn't dine in and took carry out back to our hotel. The food was VERY good and the enormous breadsticks were so soft and yummy! We had a lot of people in our group and a lot of food and everything ordered was good, hot and tasted perfectly homemade.

8 family members went,of course had to wait for table--not bad. We all ordered bread sticks (of course-great) and different pizza's--every one said their pizza was great. Service was fast and correct .If you want the best bread sticks in KY, maybe anywhere -GO. Real good pizza also.

My family and I have been eating at this local landmark since I was a child. The food is always very consistent. My wife and I LOVE the spaghetti and meatballs. This is Joe's place and he is often at the restaurant taking care of whatever needs to be done. We love Joe B's!!

Go for pizza enjoy the spinach salad, one of the best ever tasted. This is a great experience. A virtual bee hive f activity. Adding some good music to hear while tree is only suggestion. Had a great pizza with traditional fixings.

Stopped by for dinner on a Friday night. Evening didn't start out well as the hostess was flat-out rude not only to me, but to several other customers as well. I told her how many people we had in our party and she says, "It's a 40 minute wait, do you still want to stay?" I said "yes" and received... More

The Italian food here was excellent (and we are VERY picky about our Italian food!). The restaurant is in a converted church, so the setting is a lot of fun. Prices were reasonable. I highly recommend it!

Always great service, delicious food. The atmosphere is great. Depending on the day and time there could be a long wait. The garlic bread stick is the highlight of my dinner.

It was a Sunday afternoon, after 2 PM. The line was modest, but present, so the wait was a respectable 15-20 minutes. There was never a disappointing moment after you had been seated , because the service was always personable ( sometimes unique) and the food never lacked the touch of personal care. However, on this particular day, there was... More

I good things about this joint over the years. So I'm in Lexington again 'horsing around' and trying to make some dough. So I finally had the opporunity to try it. Now speaking of dough, the pizza sure had lots and they charged plenty of dough for what I got! I've included a pic. The dough was tasty. But it... More
