FOOD: 5 stars. I got breakfast at Joes and I was pretty pleased. The eggs and bacon were fine but what really won me over was the French toast. It was simply magnificent.
VALUE: 4 stars. The prices were great here. The restaurant itself was nothing to look at, and the neighborhood seemed a little suspect, so value was right in line with what I would normally expect.
SERVICE: 4 stars. Our waitress was mostly great. Two smallish blunders though: 1) She never informed us that we had to go to the front counter to pay, so we just sat there for 15 extra minutes trying to find her so we could get the check; and 2) the menu promises free coffee with breakfast before 11am, yet I was never offered coffee even though we arrived at about 10:50am.
TL;DR VERDICT: 4 stars. Pretty good food for good prices will force me to come back when I'm in the city again. I'll just make sure to ask for free coffee and remember to pay up front. Otherwise, I'll be back!
