Angels hide everywhere! I stopped into Joella's yesterday to grab lunch for my mother and I. We have practically been living in the hospital since my grandmothers recent stroke. So, as you can imagine, we are emotional wrecks. I was in extreme shambles, just falling apart inside my car as I waited in the parking lot trying to pull myself together. When I thought I had composed myself enough to go inside to place our order, I realized just how wrong I was when I approached the counter. I started uncontrollably crying. Zoe S. assisted me with my order. She was so patient and kind. The beauty, love, and comfort of a complete stranger was what I needed in that moment to get me through just placing a simple order. I knew we needed food, but I didn't realize just how much I needed a hug too. Thank you Zoe for your compassion and grace. It meant so much!

Kale salad with tweener chicken added was pretty good, but could use some extra flavor. Food was pretty expensive but the portions were sizable. Restaurant looks like it pulls too much from American Pickers and Cracker Barrel - could use its own identity. Sage was a very great order taker / server who provided extra customer service and was very informative about additional deals.

I would just like everyone To know That the mac & cheese here is so thick that you cannot eat it with one hand, If you try to eat it with one hand you will pick up the entire bowl with it. This is not a negative. 10/5 stars. 12/5 stars. The limit does not exist

Not my favorite hot chicken in town but it's still a solid choice. Great assortment of sides and can't beat the weekend family meal deal.
