| - This place needs a sign that reflects the wonderful that's inside! The plain sign reads, "Joe's Subs". At a glance it looks more like a sign for a plumber or a paint shop. And considering the fact that they are FAMOUS for their corned beef (which is not usually found in a sub, even in Cleveland) it should read Joe's Famous Corned Beef, or something to that effect.
Anyhow,
Next to us sat a 325 lb giant of a guy, and he was joyously eating a Reuben. HE should be the sign out front. We asked him what the joint was known for, and he said we were looking at it. According to this friendly gentleman, Joe's serves over 4000 lbs of corned beef on St. Party's day ALONE. He recommended anything with corned beef, and I wasn't about to argue with the guy. 2 Reuben's it was, and Joe's delivered 2 heart attack sized sandwiches to my friend and I, that can only be described as "the lay of a lifetime" nestled between 2 triangles of rye toast. Absolutely amazing!
Also worth a nod was the hot tattooed Lebanese waitress/owner who stocked the kitchen with a bunch of hunk dudes, one being her boyfriend. Way to go! That's exactly how I would have done it, except in reverse. The whole experience was a charm!
If they get a better sign, then I will put up a 5. Don't even think about passing this place up while in Lakewood, it will turn anyone into a happy limey bastard, even if you happen to be a Lebanese goddess!
