- RMRodd Mitchell4 days ago5.0Everything was spot on, thanks Victory!
- BMBruce MattiaDec 24, 20254.0Original Joe’s just west of 124th Street. I’ve been here a few times and stopped in on a Thursday night last week. Thursday clearly seems to be the big night, and it also happened to be a hockey night, which added to the energy. Service was prompt and friendly. We grabbed a couple of snacks and took advantage of the drink specials—half-price bottles of wine and a dollar off on a few featured drinks. The crowd skews older and established, and it’s obvious many people are regulars from the neighborhood. I’ll continue to come back. Thursday is just the day I chose this time. I have been on the patio in the summer, and it’s a nice spot when the weather cooperates.
- NUNova UniverseNov 22, 20255.0My partner and I came here a month or two ago and got excellent service from Sawyer. We didn't catch their name last time, but we got it this time and wanted to thank them for being friendly, helpful, and really sweet both times!
