I've been to Joe's 4x now with friends. Each time we all have tried different items on the menu to try and get something we found that we actually liked. We've tried the pizza, wings, burgers, and Philly cheese steaks. Each time we all left feeling like we didn't want to go back, but it's the kind of location you wish you could.
Pizza - pizza hut quality crust & sauce quality with papa murphy's (frozen pizza) quality toppings. The pizza was a mess. The toppings rolled right off of the pizza and ended up on your plate in a big mess rather than in your mouth. The quality of the toppings were mediocre. We got a supreme pizza (large) and it fed 2 of us but wasn't something I would go back to eat again. You could get a higher quality pizza at a franchised pizza delivery service (for less $$ too) even though we dined in.
Burgers - had a western burger and it was decent. It's not a burger joint but the patty and bun were good. The fries weren't good. On multiple visits we tried the fries and each time we couldn't try more than a couple. They were hot, but the taste was incredibly bland and tasted worse than if they had just used a frozen bag from the supermarket.
Wings - the best thing at Joe's. Well breaded, tangy sauce. Multiple members of the group stated this was consistently the best thing they tried. The only problem was that I wouldn't go to a pizza place to get wings. This is kind of the general problem - too many options on the menu with not enough focus. Is it a pizza place? Deli? Burger Joint?
Service - there are always a lot of employees. They all seem nice enough but almost every time we have been there the staff acts as if they've never taken an order before. Again, the staff is polite but untrained or socially awkward.
Water - we were charged $1 for a cup of tap water and we weren't told about that before we paid for it. If we would have known we would be charged for tap water we would've gotten a soda.
This is a place I really wish I could like. The people making the food and taking the orders seem very nice. It's also local, so I want it to succeed but it just seems to lack focus around the menu and the ingredient quality. I know this place has (12) 5 star reviews which I think are all from the staff so I wanted to write something realistic to help other yelpers in their food decisions.
