| - Where to start...hmmm, if you are starving and want a huge portion of really good food, come to this place but avoid it during peak hours as it gets mighty crowded. If I go there for dinner it's at 5:30pm or earlier and for lunch I get there at 11:30am, because otherwise it gets terribly crowded. Although they remodeled and enlarged the restaurant and the lot about a year or two ago, it still packs folks in like a madman. If you like corned beef or pastrami sandwiches, well, this place is almost as good as Slyman's downtown. Most people can eat only half these sandwiches. I love their chicken tenders and fries appetizer. It's more than a meal for me. The tenders are better than any other place I've had them. I believe the wait staff told me the chicken is soaked in buttermilk and then fried. Very tender and wonderful. The portion is huge, six or seven pieces, and although I've not weighed them, it seems like about 12 to 16 oz. of chicken tenders to me. Lots of fries, as well. Their meals are very, very good. They have various specials each night and the servers take time describing them. My single complaint about Joe's is that if you are coming here with three friends, and each of you drives separately, parking gets tough and the hostess almost never will seat me until all of my party is on premises. I find that rather annoying. I've been here at least 40 times, including before they did the remodel and rebuild, and I have never, ever had anything that was not really, really wonderful. Again, not fancy food, not pretentious, simply very, very good and fresh, plus hot food always served hot, cold food always served cold. This place is also extremely clean, as well. Oh, their desserts are wonderful.
