Here's the deal. This place is kind of cheesy, but I was limited in options for dinner, and skeptical about going in. I'm glad - sort of - that I did. The place was packed, so that was a good sign, and it seems that regulars really do like when the staff leads the customers in song. Weird. I didn't have crab, but I was pleasantly surprised by the salmon with dirty rice. The salmon was cooked perfectly, again I was surprised. I don't know why I expected so little from Joe's but I enjoyed myself there. And enjoyed the restaurant's selection of beer. Sam's Summer Ale in Reno? I'll take it.
One strange moment: I was sitting at the bar enjoying my dinner and a mother, presumably, ordered her infant fruit juice in a sippy cup. She ordered herself a "Category 5 Hurricane". Read the drink menu here: http://bit.ly/JmHDty. I guess I now understand why I was so skeptical at first.
