I love a good gem. A gem close to home is even better. Joe's is just that. I had no idea it was there till I moved to Avalon a few years ago. I will now share my gem with you.
Mom drove down one night to have dinner with me. I was feeling healthy (hahah, short lived) so I decided to get a steak salad. But since were here in the good old 412, salads mean croutons, fries and boiled eggs. Sooo, borderline healthy. I tried.
I can't even describe to you how big this salad was. I can almost compare it to the salad they bring a family of four at the Olive Garden. Tons of fresh veggies, a good amount of steak, eggs, and a plentiful topping of fries. I got the ranch dressing and Mom got Italian. They didn't specify that their dressings are made in house, but they seemed it, even if they weren't.
Mom and I could have split one of these! But I'm glad we didn't. It was such a good salad. I love cucumbers, and fortunately, Mom doesn't, so I got to steal hers. Win!
The service was great. The server knew her menu, and made suggestions when Mom was undecided between the salad and the special.
Mental note to self: they are cash or check (what?) only.
Happy Eating.
