I have visited joes a couple of times during lunch time & its never overcrowded. A really good place to have good attentive service and some seafood during lunch. They seat well (away from other parties) its spacious and has booths in different ends of the room. The management both male and female (Courtney) really live up to what a manager should be like. Beth, the waitress (with her pretty modest makeup) is by farthest the best waitress hands down!!!!! She is pleasant, doesn't take forever to check back and is a gem overall. She makes suggestions and aims to please. They are lucky to have her!
I have, honestly, never been in a establishment where I continue to get treated the very same way all the time I pay a visit. It could be because when I visit it ain't that busy but still I love the acknowledgement! I hope every guest gets treated that very same way. The food is good but they def play a role in us coming back.
Now the food, ain't fail us yet!!! We have tried a range from the crab tapers to the great seafood rolls to the calamari, the mussels, all have been seasoned so good & it always taste so bomb! The cooks are soooo consistent there. An the music, OMG, they have like the bomb.com 90's mix station. You will hear Brian McKnight to TLC there to a nice Joplin beat.
Annnnnd to top it off, they even offer $2 bites (some come in a bed of fries) and every Thursday is 50% off drinks. I love this place.
