| - We decided to try Joey's because Red Devil was slammed. I have lived near it for several years, and I can't say why we never went before.
It sits in a strip center next to Safeway. You'd think it would be slamming on a Friday night, but it was not. We were one of four tables when arrived. More people came later, but it was not packed.
The service was nice and fairly attentive. The food was OK. Everything was hot and it was obvious that it had been cooked to order. My partner got pizza, which she reported was OK. The pizza was $15. I got chicken caccitorie, which was $16.95. The chicken came with a nice side of veggies, which were obviously prepared from fresh. I just wish they didn't have so much oil on them, still the fact that they had been actually peeled, cut and cooked properly was nice. The chicken was tender and well cooked. The dish also had sausage in it. It was nice that they took the casing out of the sausage. My dish came with a salad, which had also clearly been prepped by hand. Nice touch and fairly fresh. The salad was a bit on the small side.
I guess everything was pretty good. I felt overall that it was good (not excellent). But the prices did seem a bit high. I could see paying $12 for each of the dishes, but the prices were high for what you got.
They also brought us bread, which was on the warm side. It was OK.
I'm not sure if we'd go back. We would for sure if it was less $$, and I'm not a cheapo. But the bill came to $39 for two entrees and one beer.
