| - I don't know why, but I always feel Joey's is too "blah" and then when I'm there (usually for work lunch as its 1 second away), I remember I REALLY LIKE JOEY'S!!!
Yes, it's right by my work on Barlow so I am there 1-2 times per month (for the last seven years). I really don't have anything to complain about. The service starts great and continues to be great each and every time. Someone opens the door, a hostess in giant heels greets you quickly and seats you and they always ask how my day is going ... It's like a first date to be honest. Once seated we usually have drinks ordered immediately, and then they give enough time to read the menu and ask if we need help, etc.
I have always liked their food more than a couple other "mid-scale" type places similar to ol' Joes. They have a great mix of appies, soups and salads as starts. The large salads are very large and filling, with interesting ingredients! The flatbreads are fantastic (try the tandoori for sure-it's a fav or mine), they have great steaks, AMAZING burgers (tallll onesss), and for a non-Indian restaurant - the butter chicken is pretty deadly as is the panang curry dish (it's actually funny how many people I know love their butter chicken). Oh yea, the skinny fries are ridiculously good. I have never had a bad thing here if memory serves and I have eaten most of the menu!
Desserts are great (loved the fondue when they had it and the lava cake is to die for (aren't they all?). Also to note is a great wine selection and great beers on tap as well (kronenbourg blanc - yes please!). So overall, I really do like Joey's after all. Pricing is decent and the quality is high...so I shall continue my 1-2 times per month visit!
