| - Service: Our server was HANDS DOWN the greatest part of this Monday night visit. Matt has been with the company since inception and is adamant that he's from the non-Arcadia side of Arcadia. He was extremely knowledgeable and attentive and made our visit fun. Matt was always on time but never over the top. He was passionate and seems like a genuinely great person. Matt will be the reason for our return to Joe's Midnight Run.
Food: The smell of the food at Joe's Midnight Run will meet you in the parking lot. As soon as you open your door the aroma of slow cooked, cold smoked meats and Barbecue invites you in. The menu is two pages and very simple which leads me to believe that the head chef at this restaurant focuses on a quality product instead of options for everyone. Being that I have never been to Joe's, I was starving and I'm a glutton, the lady and I, started with a couple appetizers. I wanted the mussels pretty badly but since my future ex-wife is pregnant, I was FORBIDDEN to order them. We went back and forth for bit and settled on a side of Brussel sprouts and an order of the chipotle honey glazed wings. I did some Yelp research beforehand and everyone raves about how these wings are the bee's knees. Before we received our appetizer, we placed the order for our main dish. I ordered a frosty adult beverage and the Notorious B.I.G. burger (medium rare of coarse), the baby Nazi got herself some salmon. Our appetizers arrived shortly thereafter. Although the wings were fantastic, they didn't come with ranch (insert sad face) and were about the size of my wet-nap package. The Brussel sprouts were slightly over cooked and came out soggier than I would have preferred but still had good flavor. I'd say that the appetizer was a solid 7 out of 10. Our main dish came out perfectly timed and looked absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, and with great regret, I must say that both entrées were very underwhelming. The presentation of my B.I.G burger made my eyes and mouth water but their expectations were not met. My burger was cooked perfectly but was anything but interesting and her salmon was so undercooked that she lost her appetite and gagged a bit over the patio rail. I assumed baby mama was over reacting but I was met with the same response when I bit into her salmon. Quite unfortunate indeed.
Ambience/atmosphere: Joe's Midnight Run is aesthetically pleasing and well put together. This restaurant fits in perfectly with the surrounding restaurants in uptown Phoenix. The dining room is very modern and had me taking notes for my home décor. The patio is absolutely beautiful and showcases a fireplace at its center. The atmosphere is tailored to young professionals and jams old-school gangster rap after 9 pm. I can see me and the woman here for some cocktails once the bun comes out of the oven.
Pricing: Joe's Midnight Run is not over the top for the location and atmosphere. Id actually say that their menu is perfectly priced if not underpriced.
PS, Monday nights will get you a Notorious B.I.G. burger and a beer for 10 American Dollars. Pretty good deal in my opinion.
