| - How was this my first time eating at Joe's?? Two of my friends have been talking about Joe's for MONTHS but for whatever reason, it never worked out for me to go with them until the other night. You walk in and there's a dessert case full of huge cakes and cheesecakes and cookies. Joe's is basically a sit-down deli with some mediterranean food ... and chicken parm?? Basically, they have a huge menu and it took me a LONG time to settle on ONE entree. Menu = apps (mozz sticks to hummus to mujadara), salads, soups, sandwiches, hot sandwiches, burgers, hot entrees, etc. They had different daily specials, so be sure to read what they are as you walk in or ask your server for them if you forget to look at them.
We started with the hummus, which was served in a huge bowl, tasted super fresh and came with a steaming hot bag of pita quarters (each almost the size of a regular half pita!!). Loved the hummus, thought the pitas were just alright.... I finally settled on getting the Chicken Philly and got it with the cajun fries. One friend got the Philly cheesesteak with cajun fries and the other got the chicken parmesan with matzo ball soup to start with. We all had the matso ball soup (it was my first time) and it was def tasty (although I'm not too sure how I feel about matso balls in general). We all shared a side order of the onion rings. Basically the table next to us kept inspiring us to get what they had b/c everything just looked so delish!!! My Chicken philly was wonderful! The grilled chicken was perfect and overall it was delish. My friend who got the Philly cheesesteak loved her meal. The one who got the chicken parm has been going there since she was legit a baby and has probably tried everything twice so she decided to try the chicken parm this time, and while she said it was still good, she did mention that Joe's is probably not the place to order chicken parm... The onion rings were HUGE and amazing rings of fried goodness. And, I was OBSESSED with the cajun fries.
There was LEGIT enough food on our table to feed a small army. All of their portions are SUPER huge and can feed you anywhere from 2-4 times in my opinion (could have fed me 3 times if I didn't share my leftovers today).
My friends ordered this pumpkin cookie to go, but of course I had to have a taste before we left. It was SUPER soft despite it being 9pm, huge (of course), and was drizzled with what I assumed to be orangey and vanilla-et icings. yumyumyum
I wanted a cabarnet during dinner and decided to try the Lebanese one on the menu (they have 2 options) and wasn't too impressed, it had a tarty-sorta sweet after taste, which I wasn't a fan of, but that's just personal taste.
As we walked out, I again stared into the dessert cases, mouth watering, but stomach and brain telling me to keep moving. I will definitely be returning to try (ALL OF) the cakes and more items on the menu!!
