    my fiance and i chose to dine here for dinner and honestly it was a pretty good choice. if ur from true south like louisiana, it is of course not the same. however, Anya was an amazing server and really made our time there even more enjoyable! my only complaint was that the seafood boil was somewhat overcooked, but the flavor and quality of food was wonderful! we will be visiting again! THANK YOU ANYA!!

    We try to avoid regular chains while traveling to experience local cuisine, but this was a night where reservations were booked up and wait times in local spots were insane, so we popped into Joe’s and hoped for the best and it paid off. We only had a short wait to be seated. We ordered crab legs, salmon, and shrimp between us. Our food was hot, fresh, and great, and our service by Danielle was a blessing. The visit was worth it just to meet such a bright, friendly light. She’s one of those rare, special kinds of people that finds joy in everything and shares it with everyone she meets. I’m so glad we took the gamble. No regrets here, give it a try.

    She is a very sweet person. Very nice, awesome, made good conversation. She took the time out to write on my bib after I told her I was another Grandma today. 12-29-2025. Loved her company. If I ever came back (cuz I'm from Texas) I would want her waiting on me again. Cuz that's how AMAZING SHE IS..
