- KBKenny Boo5 days ago2.0I really wanted to enjoy my experience here, but the service fell short. My server was noticeably dismissive and didn’t seem interested in helping. When my food arrived, it was placed at the very end of the table instead of in front of me, which felt careless and unprofessional. Throughout the meal, there was very little engagement or check-ins, making the overall experience feel unwelcoming. The food itself was decent, but the service made it hard to enjoy the meal so I opted and took my meal to go. I hope the restaurant addresses this, because the atmosphere and menu have potential. just not enough to make up for the lack of attention I received.
- HSHaseeb shaikhOct 28, 20255.0Good 😊 service
- HIHANAA IBRAHIMOct 28, 20255.0I ordered delivery from Original Joe’s, and I was genuinely impressed with everything from start to finish! The order arrived right on time, neatly packed, and still hot — which made a great first impression and showed real attention to detail. The pasta was creamy, rich, and full of flavor — perfectly cooked and seasoned just right. The sandwich was fresh and delicious, with soft bread, tender meat, and balanced flavors in every bite. And the cheesecake was the perfect sweet ending — smooth, creamy, and absolutely delicious without being too heavy. Every item in the order tasted freshly made and full of quality. Overall, this was an excellent delivery experience — great packaging, generous portions, and food that tastes just as good as dining in. Highly recommend Original Joe’s for anyone who loves delicious, well-prepared comfort food delivered with care! 🌟🍝🍔🍰
