My mom and I went to dinner here last night. We split the west coast salad which was delicious and i had the impossible burger which was okay and my mom had the haddock stack burger. Everything looked good and tasted okay but after we were done she couldn't even make it home to her bathroom before she got sick. She has been sick with food poisoning from the fish all night and continued to this morning. Not saying to avoid orignal Joe's as they arent a bad place to go eat but maybe avoid the fish atleast!
