The service was not so good and they were not very friendly or I would have given them a 5. The pizza however was delicious. We got a thin crust, cheese with bacon. The cheese had a great flavor and the crust was extra crispy. I would definitely go back and order takeout if we were close by.

For some reason, we get menus and even look at them, and then we order the exact same thing every time. BUT!!! I will say this: tonight there was a wait! So we sat at the bar waiting for a table, and got a glass of wine!!! THAT'S DIFFERENT for us! Our order: Wifey - Stuffed shells, garden salad, hot honey pizza Me - Meatball/spaghetti, anti-pasta salad, hot honey pizza (This was actually a new main dish for Honey. He decided he wanted a tried and true Italian standby. So I guess we didn't get the exact same thing! ) Just FYI, we take the pizza home after grabbing a slice as an appetizer! And, per usual, everything was just SO tasty. They have never failed us. Anyway, always just great food, nice people, and a great time! They can get busy, especially during key times! But we all know what that means! What are you waiting for! Go eat at Joes! A short review, but, just an update on a place that is always five-stars.

We had the carbonara, lasagna, and Trentino pizza. Everything was delicious but the carbonara was definitely my favorite. It took me back to my trip to Rome!

We will be back soon! You should definitely try it!

The bad: The wait staff was not very engaged. I wanted this review to be about the food but that just wasn't meant to be. The Ugly: I am very well travelled on 3 continents. I've dined elegantly as well as from street vendors and I have NEVER had service that was this off putting to the point of being overtly rude, and I am an American who has eaten in France and doesn't speak much French. When we wouldn't sit at the bar, even though the main area was only 1/4 occupied They moved our party of 2 into the side room with chairs up on tables. It went downhill from there. Due to this, it wasn't possible to really enjoy what should have been a fine meal. I will say it is a wise policy to ask for payment and tip ahead of this type of service before it is provided.

I've really only seen their name on the highway food/restaurants signs, and those restaurants I feel like tend to be a little meh so my expectations were dampened. BUT all the reviews here were so high I didn't know what to expect. Didn't realize I was going to have one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten before. We ordered the Rams Special which is like a supreme pizza but with bacon which makes it the best supreme pizza I've had. We demolished that pizza. Besides that we ordered at the counter and they were very quick with the order, I feel like we didn't have to wait very long for the pizza, especially considering this is a sit down restaurant as well. They had lots of local decor on the walls which was fun to look at and pass the time.

I avoid this restaurant like the plague honestly, just here to say the employee abuse at this…read moreestablishment is rampant and disgusting. A teenage employee (making $12/hour) was told to grab a hot pan with his barehands because there wasn't an oven mitt handy. He received massive burns and was sent home, told he'd get fired. Even if there were an oven mitt present, they have no inner lining! Just a massive safety code. Out of tongs? The employees would have to scoop those boiling noodles out with their hands. If nothing else in this review bothered you, I'd hope that part would do the job. How many of you would give up your free speech for not even minimum wage? Don't work here, don't eat here. It doesn't look like Mattoon will have one for much longer anyway. Plus, I didn't even mention the roaches!!

Joe's Italian Food & Pizza…read more We ate at Joe's on a Tuesday evening around 7 pm. The restaurant was fairly full, but we were able to be seated right away. The menu has a good selection of typical Italian dishes and pizza. I chose the Chicken Parmesan Mostaccioli, which was delicious! Everything was priced reasonably, too. The staff provided excellent and attentive service.
