I hate reviewing chains.
That being said, Joe's seems to get a bad rap from people thinking that the seafood should be fish-off-the-back-porch-and-fry-it-up fresh. This Joe's is in Arizona, folks. And it's not bad.
We've been there several times. Are there better seafood restaurants out there? You bet. But I think this place has a decent bang for the buck.
The service has been at least adequate if not outstanding every time we've visited. I'm not crazy about the line-dancing routine that always happens, but the staff are good about refilling drinks, menu knowledge and experience.
The cooks are decent at preparing seafood, making sure it's not too tough or underdone. Usually, though, it's on the side of overdone that keeps me from giving more than 3 stars.
If you're expecting a lobster place in Maine, go to Maine. If you need a seafood fix at a somewhat reasonable price....here you go.
