Came in here with my family on a Sunday night for dinner. We arrived at 7pm, luckily we made reservations as the place was pretty full. Apparently on Sundays kids eat free.
We were seated on the bar side at a high table, that comfortably sat the seven of us. I really enjoyed sitting on the bar side as you got to view right into the open kitchen and watch the production. As well they had several flat screen tvs around the bar playing every possible sports event that was on that evening.
Since there was a bunch of us we ordered a few appetizers to share
Garlic Cheese Bread - Joe's garlic skillet bread loaded with melted mixed cheeses
Served in a sizzling skillet, the bread was soft and chewing but what I really liked about the bread was in had cracked black pepper in it that made it spicy
Memphis Flatbread - Tender BBQ pulled pork and mixed cheese topped with crispy onion strings and drizzled with ancho-chipotle sauce
The flatbread was really thin and crispy but held up against the ample toppings, I enjoyed the sweet and smoky taste of the meat and added crunch from the fried onion
Buffalo Chicken Flatbread - Crispy buffalo chicken, mixed cheese, tomatoes, green onions, medium sauce and ranch dressing
Again ample toppings, loved the crispy chicken, heat from the hot sauce and the balance with the creamy cool ranch dressing
For Entrees the majority of us went with the Chicken & Ribs combo which was actually on a special price for $15. (normally $20.99)
1/4 Chicken & Ribs - Succulent, oven-roasted quarter quarter chicken and a half rack of Joe's legendary pork back ribs
I didn't enjoy the chicken part of this meal at all, I just found it tasteless, no signs of being oven roasted as the skin was not crispy or browned at all and the sauce on the chicken was far too sweet for my liking
The ribs however were pretty good, not the best I've ever had but good, the meat was tender fall of the bone and not overly saucy
For my side I got a baked potato with sour cream - which was nothing fancy just a simple potato - Since I could see right into the kitchen I saw that the potatoes were actually microwaved instead of baked - not sure if they were baked at some point afterwards?
Overall service was pretty good and the atmosphere of the restaurant was good to watch a game. However I don't think I'll be rushing back here anytime soon
