- NINurkeldi Iznat2 days ago5.0Really nice place. The food was amazing. I had fish and chips and they were really nice. Their old fashioned was very very nice. Service was really nice as well. Kyle took a really good care of us with great recommendations. He was a really nice guy as well and was very welcoming. Will definitely be back for their fish and chips and their cocktails.
- DYDilnaz Yuldaseva2 days ago5.0The food was great, and the drinks were great as well. I had a little cheeseburger, which wasn’t actually that little! The service was absolutely fantastic! Special thanks to Kyle for a wonderful evening.
- PHPreston Hartle5 days ago5.0My experience at original Joe’s was very good our food was great, I really enjoyed our waitress Rhylan. She is an asset to this team and because of her I will come back to this establishment.
- DCDanielle CollierApr 3, 20264.0Zack was a wonderful server. He managed our group of 4 as well as managing the bar. Such a smart idea to have a signal on the table so he would know when we needed him. The food was fabulous, we enjoyed everything. Just one comment on the Dragon Boat Lettuce Wraps, the description was a bit misleading. They were deconstructed lettuce bowls that you had fo assemble yourself. Tasted delicious, but was not expecting to have to DIY the dish. All in all, we had a wonderful dinner service tonight!
- SSSamantha ShapiraMar 22, 20265.0We popped in late on a Saturday night and were greeted warmly at the door. We sat at the bar and the bartender, Kyle, was super knowledgeable and friendly. He had awesome food and drink recommendations for us and made an amazing Caesar. The vibe of the restaurant was relaxed, welcoming and fun. It was clear they have typical regulars and everyone was enjoying their night. The service was on point and food was delicious. Thanks for suggesting the spicy stuff on the side too so I could control the spice level myself. We’ll definitely be back!!
