    Breast Brisket, nice portion
    Fred B.

    The only difficult task when getting food from Joe's Take-out is deciding what to order. The Beef Brisket (platter or sandwich) is as good as any in the area , and far better than most. It is flavorful and tender, and the sauce takes it over the top. There burgers are first rate (go for the Smash Burger), as are the hot dogs, no matter how you top them off. I especially like the Chili Dog with mustard and onion, the Chicago style dog, and a simple dog with mustard and kraut! The Ribs are very nice, tender and loaded with flavor. There are plenty of tasty sides, and I love the Street Corn, the Collards, the Fried Okra, and Mac & Cheese. Joe's is the type of locally owned restaurant that I love to support. The food and service are first rate. Because it has little street visibility, it's location, is small with no inside seating, and is take out, a number of folks will never give this place a visit, and that's a shame. The burger here is as good as those at Alex's, Bobo's, Mr BBQ, and Dairi-o. The hot dogs are as good as those at Dairi-o, Mr BBQ, and Kermit's, and very close to those at PB's. The Beef Brisket is as good as any in the area, and far better than the vast majority. I highly recommend and hope you will visit.

    Been craving some BBQ lately and wanted to try something new. I stumbled across this place which I had no idea about considering it's right down the street from me, so I thought I'd give it a shot! It's right near Tanglewood Park in the corner of the shopping center across the street. I went in was greeted quickly the lady behind the counter was friendly so that was good. I'm pretty sure I was one of their first customers of the day but everything came out pretty fast. I got a plate of brisket with Mac and Cheese as well as fried okra (they give you a piece of cornbread as well). In about 5 minutes everything was ready got some extra bbq sauce and everything seemed pretty smooth. I decided to take a look at it everything before I drove and do a small sample test but wasn't quite what I expected. The brisket was a bit dry to my liking but some pieces were pretty good so I would say it was above average but I've some brisket around the area that was a bit better. The okra was lacking flavor it was fried perfectly but I didn't really taste any type of seasoning. With the right seasoning the okra would've been a 10/10! The Mac and Cheese was a bit different than what I'm used to it was cheesy but I wasn't a fan in all honesty. The cornbread was fire! Very easy 10/10 for me. Overall though it was okay I'd go back but would try something different for sure. If you're around Clemmons I'd still check the place out.

    Cute place & I would go here again. Is takeout only but they have some tables out front.

    A friend had recommended Joe's Take Out for their Hot Dogs, so being hot dog lovers, Carolyn and I have it a try. Now, first, understand that I rarely give 5-stars, and when it comes to hot dogs I rate them on a scale of 1 = great, 2 = good, 3= Decent, 4 = OK, and 5 = Don't waste your time. Joe's dogs get a 2. It is a good hot dog. Joe's is truly a take-out place; although, they do have a few tables outside. There is no place inside to sit and eat a dog. It was 95 degrees, so we ate in the car. We ordered the Carolina Classic (mustard, chili, onions, slaw). The bun was nicely toasted. Onions were fresh and crisp. Dog was all beef and was a tad tough. Chili had nice flavor. Slaw was good. Darn few dogs make the GREAT list, so as a GOOD this is worth trying. Our order included tots and onion rings. Both were cooked well, as we like them. The onion rings were a touch bready, but were tasty. Tots were good and crispy. Joe's offers a variety of hot dogs (see menu insert), as well as burgers and other sandwiches. You can order from their list, or build your own with a wide range of toppings. They have bottled soft drinks, along with sweet tea and lemonade. They will mix for you. If you're looking for a GOOD Carolina dog, this is one to check out. Service was friendly, and quick. Dogs were served in a foam tray with lots of room. They at 3:00 p.m. Indoor seating would help, but it does say "take our". We highly recommend Joe's Take Out when you are looking for a quick lunch.

    Loaded Mac and Cheese

    This little hidden gem in Clemmons is a great find. Focusing just on take out, they had a great niche during lockdowns. There are a few tables on the sidewalk but make no mistake this is not designed to be a dine in establishment. The staff were very friendly. The guys behind the register and cooking seemed young and goofy, but did their jobs well with smiles. The owner came out and talked to us for a while and was an incredibly nice guy. You can really tell he is a hard worker and would do anything to make a business succeed. As for food: I got the loaded Mac and cheese, which has endless options. The one I chose had pulled pork, tater tots, a house-made chipotle sauce, and more. It was easily two full servings worth of food, and heated up well the next day when I had the second half. It was a touch greasy but not to an extreme. Apparently they make their own cheese sauce for the Mac, and smoke their own meats in house, and you can really tell the quality is there. We also got the Smokehouse Brisket Burger on a hoagie. It was actually not what we had wanted (they had advertised a cheeseburger sub that we wanted) but likely a simple miscommunication. Unfortunately this smokehouse sandwich was not very good, with burnt tasting sauce and an excessively oily serving that left the bread dripping oil. It was not appetizing and we mostly didn't eat it. All that said, I will absolutely come back here. I wouldn't get the smokehouse sandwich but there are many other great menu options and I'm very impressed with the attitude of the owner and focus on quality house made ingredients. This is definitely worth a try one night on the way home from work.

    This little hole in the wall restaurant is worth the 20+ minute drive from our house. Everything I've tried at Joe's Take Out has been delicious--and there's a ton of it. The owner is almost always there and super nice as well. They always have new specials they're promoting in addition to the awesome main menu. Like today, I tried a PB, bacon and jam cheese burger and spicy cheese curds, both limited time specials. Delicious, as always, and I'm stuffed, as always. Come here with a big appetite for epic burgers, hot dogs, Mac and cheese and more.

    Peanut butter bacon jam smash burger
    Jeanine K.

    Really impressed with this place! To be honest I was nervous everything was just going to greasy and fried but I was PLEASANTLY surprised and we loved everything we got! First off, just like the name says, it's a take out place. They do have a few seats outside though. They have a good variety of food options and also have plenty of daily specials that they post on Facebook as well as on some boards inside. We got the chicken street tacos, 1/2 rack ribs, peanut butter bacon jam smash burger, and a Chicago dog. I opted to get my tacos without any cilantro and asked for a side of their chipotle cream that I saw on the burger/hot dog toppings list and wow, I absolutely loved these. They are PACKED with chicken, but I do think the chipotle cream was necessary to make it as good as it was. My husband and I split the burger and ribs. The ribs fell off the bone and were cooked perfectly, the sauce was a little more tomato-y than I prefer, but otherwise still really good. I was nervous about having peanut butter on my burger but it was GOOD! The sweetness of the jam with the crunch and savory of the burger, peanut butter and bacon went together so well. My husband had the Chicago dog, his first ever, and the said it was good. He doesn't have anything to compare it to but it was loaded with toppings and he would get that or another hot dog again. I love the wide variety of their menu and can't wait to try more options, like their famous street corn and the brisket tacos (with another side of chipotle cream!). Don't miss out on this hidden gem!

    My wife and I are always looking for something new to us that also has positive reviews. On a late Saturday afternoon, we were trying to decide where to grab something to eat. We were headed to Clemmons and remembered Joe's. They get great reviews. So, we thought we would check it out. We knew it was a small location primarily for take out and very close to Tractor Supply, which we also like. We arrived about 4pm and it was not too busy. There were others placing orders and some picking up orders. We were second in line and when it was our turn to order, we said we needed a few minutes. After we reviewed the menu board behind the counter, we made our decisions and said we were ready to order with a few questions. My wife chose the brisket plate with two sides. For the sides she got sweet potato fries and potato salad. I chose the Smokehouse brisket burger with mac and cheese. There is no seating inside because it is a take out place but there are about five small tables outside. It appeared that most people just get the take out and leave. We decided to grab a table and eat there. The person from the counter brought our food to us in to-go containers and we proceeded to dig in. Everything was packaged nicely for transport and included napkins and plastic silverware packets. My wife was really impressed with the brisket and enjoyed the sweet potato fries and potato salad. I thought the burger was delicious and the mac and cheese was good as well, maybe a little overcooked but it had a gentle tang to it and was tasty. This was a pretty cool experience for something we might have normally looked over. We recommend you check them out and we will be back to try something else.

    As you see in the name, it's a takeout spot, so for the "ambiance" there is not much to say. The service was good, very quick and helpful. We picked up the food to eat it while at the Tanglewood lights. To start off, the street corn was BOMB. We love us some corn, and it did not disappoint. The hot dogs were also great, from the choice of bun, to the actual hot dog, to the toppings, all amazing. We also really enjoyed the mac and cheese, but maybe it wasn't our healthiest choice. all overall great.

    Stopped by after visiting someone in the hospital down the road and it didn't disappoint the star was the brisket baked beans for sure the food was all good brisket was nice and juicy and the pulled pork was full of flavor the street corn wasn't really street corn but still ok the costumer service was outstanding they where all very helpful and welcoming will definitely be back

    Brick Burnt Ends!!
    D. D.

    If I could give a Negative I would.. Oh my GOSH!! This place is the worst !! My wife and daughter stopped in this afternoon and for once they had burnt ends and boy they were burnt alright!! Definitely inedible had as a rock and smothered in extra bbq sauce. We were so disappointed wasted money on not 1 but 2 plates of crap, because that is what is was and I'm sure they knew . You ought to be ashamed selling people junk in this economy. So for all you people thinking of purchasing burnt ends from here , better think twice .. Buyer Beware!!

    Okay, I have a lot of reviews to write, but Joe's Take-Out gets to jump the line because this place needs more love! Opened during COVID and serving a diverse menu of down home cooking that just about anyone can enjoy, Joe's is sure to become a favorite lunch or dinner destination for the lover of all things grilled or smoked. Note that they are take-out only, but there are some outdoor tables. Canned sodas are also the only available beverage, so just know that stuff in advance and you are good! On my first visit I intended to get some of their interesting hot dog selection, but instead was craving a smashburger, so I went with "Joe's Special burger" which comes topped with cheese, pulled pork, BBQ slaw, hot pepper relish, and some signature Joe's sauce. First thing that jumped out, beautiful brown crust on the burger patties, hallmark of a properly done smashburger. Honestly, I could not really taste the pulled pork because there were so many great flavors. Hearty beef, melty cheese, vinegar from the slaw, heat from the pepper relish, and a touch of creamy from the signature sauce. Perfect. I had this served with fried okra, clearly breaded in house, crispy light batter, tender okra, will be a definite re-order. Second visit, I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to try some brisket. I went with a plate that included two sides (I went with baked beans and mac n cheese) and cornbread. I also added collard greens. I'll break it all down below, thrilled with the portion size on the sides. Cornbread piece was a little small by comparison, but hard to complain with the side amounts. Brisket- Packed nicely for to go. Individually wrapped in foil with some sauce and juices to stay moist. My pieces were cut from the point, which has a bit more fat on top and a fatty vein in the middle, and when done right is the place where the most flavorful meat comes from. This fat was rendered to a butter texture. Not eating it would be a sin. Clear signs of a good smoking, pink hue around the edge, and I also got a great "burnt-end" piece. Juicy meat, which is always impressive as brisket is VERY difficult to keep moist unless sliced to order from a fresh slab. Would love to try it from a first cut, as it stands, very good. Mac N Cheese- They've changed things up from earlier pictures. It LOOKS like Easy Mac... IT IS NOT. They make a house made cheese sauce, and it is perfection. Thick, creamy, a little zest, you will want this cheese. Book it. Baked beans- Confirmed chunks of brisket in the baked beans, nice flavor and texture, little sweet not overly so, would not change a thing. Collar greens- Finely chopped collards, juice has notes of vinegar and some sweetness. Greens tender but not mushy, plenty of texture. Real good. Point being, support this great local business that is perfect for COVID safety. Had a chance to talk with the manager Brian, and they have some good ideas for new additions to the menu coming soon. You'll not regret it!

    Double Smash Burger and Home Chips
    Terri W.

    We are always on the search for a great hotdog (who isn't?), we found Joe's Takeout via Eric on Yelp (where else?). Oak Ridge to Clemmons is a 34 minute trek for us and some might say that's too far to go for just a hotdog. But there's nothing "just" about this place. We walked in and I immediately had food choice confusion because the special board had Fish and Chips. I'm a F&C fiend, but I stuck to my plan. We were greeted by a very engaging young woman in a bedazzled mask (so cute) and when she found out we were first timers, she proceeded to explain some of the burger terms on the menu. I was really glad she did! Tennessee Technique = fried in a skillet OKC = Onions are mashed into the meat before cooking She also said that Villa Grill on the front of the strip shop also owned Joe's. She encouraged us to give them a try too. I got the 1/4 lb smash burger and Hubs got the double. The bun was a soft artisan roll that had been buttered and grilled. The meat was truly smashed and was a perfect fit to the bun. A 1/2 lb-er seems like too much meat, but I'm telling you it looked fantastic! We ordered with cheese, mayo, mustard, tomato and lettuce. Let me stop here for a second. I don't like that dark green frilly lettuce, which in my opinion, should be a garnish only. I like iceberg lettuce on my burger. I LOVE shredded iceberg and that's what they use! The toppings were very fresh and crisp. The edges of the burger were uneven and crunchy, just like a smash burger should be. We added a little salt but that's just our preference. We both got the Home Chips and they were delicious! I don't know what seasoning they used, salt for sure, maybe it was seasoned salt but there was also a little spicy kick to it. They were so good, you didn't need any ranch, but they did offer some. Hubs also got the Average Joe Dog. Again, the bun seemed an artisan variety with butter and grilled. The all beef 8" dog had a nice snap and was juicy. The chili was SLIGHTLY sweet and the coleslaw and minced onions were nice and crunchy. He gave me a bite and if we hadn't already driven away, I would've gone back in for my own. He agreed it was so good he'd make the trip again. We did not get drinks. Our total was about $23 plus tip. The health rating is a 97. All employees were wearing masks and hand sanitizer is available for customer use. I noticed that she was very good about using hand sanitizer before handling the boxes of food. As an FYI the aroma of BBQ and brisket is very enticing. The ribs are available for dinner. When you smell good food from the parking lot, you know you're going to have a great experience and happiness is just steps away.

    This burger should come with a warning: you'll be thinking about it long after you leave. The…read morepatties were unbelievably juicy with those perfectly crispy, charred edges that every burger should have. The melted cheese was dripping over the sides, the bun was soft and fresh, and every bite just kept getting better. The fries deserved their own round of applause. Crispy, perfectly seasoned, and so addictive I kept telling myself, "Just one more"... about 30 fries ago. I don't know what kind of magic they're working back there, but they absolutely nailed it. This wasn't one of those burgers you eat because you're hungry--this was the kind you eat in complete silence because you're too busy enjoying every bite. On top of the amazing food, the service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. They also have covered outdoor picnic tables with fans running overhead, which was a really nice touch. It made sitting outside comfortable even on a warm day and gave the place a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. Safe to say this place has officially ruined mediocre burgers for me. I'll definitely be back... and next time I might need two orders of fries because sharing isn't going to happen.

    Mmmmmm....OMG! We had intentions of driving to Mocksville to try this out for months and today was…read morethe day. It was a little hard to find because a road is closed in the vicinity but we were able to find it using the Waze app. The building itself is a large steel structure which has been nicely finished on both inside and out. We arrived about 4:30pm on a Saturday afternoon and were immediately greeted. We were taken to a booth and there were a couple of other tables seated. Immediately, you could tell this was a family run business with multiple generations pitching in. The young man who took our drink order was friendly and efficient. They have quite a few taps on the back wall but they were not in service and therefore were only offering cans and bottles. The menu says they currently have malfunctions with their cooler. We were given time to peruse the menu but were checked in on to ensure we didn't have questions. The menu offers burgers, fries and dogs but they are all elevated. There are some very creative and special combinations which as the asterisk notates on the menu some items are unable to be changed. We decided to start with the pub bucket, which offers steak fries along with melted cheddar cheese and ranch. My wife ordered the Elvis burger which features bourbon glazed apples, peanut butter, banana chutney and cheddar cheese. I chose the Godfather which features salami, pepperoni and mozzarella, and I chose to get the creamy garlic pesto on the side. My wife went to use the restroom and on her way back she reported that it was very clean and she happened to notice their recent state inspection certificate boasted an impressive 99.5! Our appetizer arrived in a timely manner and while it looked different (we are used to restaurants serving fries with cheese melted with a side of ranch) this had the fries topped with cheese and the ranch poured on top. But let me tell you they were delicious! Lots of heavenly cheddar cheese which was perfectly melted and gooey topped with delicious ranch dressing. Our burgers arrived shortly afterwards and are wrapped up when served. We began to unwrap and they also looked delicious. My wife immediately started eating hers while my camera ate first. My wife commented that her burger was absolutely delicious and said she was a bit iffy at first on the cheddar cheese being served with the sweet toppings but was happy to report she thought it worked perfectly and she was glad she didn't alter the burger. My burger was a double and huge! Since I had asked for the aoili on the side because I am not a mayo guy and while it was very good I should have asked for some ketchup to dip my burger in. I enjoyed it alot and saved half for later. My wife had her eye on the apple ring sundae. It is Granny Smith apple rings, sliced and cored and dipped in cinnamon sugar and deep fried, topped with vanilla ice cream and cool whip and drizzled with homemade caramel sauce. She ordered the half version which includes three rings. It took a little longer for the dessert to arrive because by this time they had started to get busy with a majority of the inside tables full as well as a few outdoor tables and several to go orders. The dessert arrived and my wife was happy to report it was also delicious. So glad we finally stopped in and we already have talked about our next time. It was apparent from our time there that they have a following and it is easy to see why. We did ask about onion rings and were told they plan to bring back again in the fall. Awesome service, creative menu, clean and family run. Plan your visit!

    They apparently have a food truck now. Had the burger At Gypsy Road Brewery. It was good. Service…read morewas a tad slow but the people were very nice. Good fries too.

We had a couple spinach and artichoke dip to share, and our dinners ranged from chicken Parmesan, the seafood pasta, to beef tenderloin. All the food was very good, no complaints at all from my wife or any of my kids. For dessert we shared the lemon blueberry cake, the banana pudding cake, and brownie and ice cream. We passed them around and everybody loved them all. The server was very nice, and we had a great experience. This place was about 30 minutes from us, so I'm not sure if we'll be back, but I definitely recommend this to anyone celebrating a special occasion or that lives nearby.

I was able to set something up about a week in advance as that's all the time I had to know what our game schedules were, they had a simple to use online form and I got a call within minutes of submitting it and they easily accommodated us. They had an area that we could all take over without being in the way, staff worked through us like an assembly line and food came out in the order it was ordered with no problems. Everyone was very happy with what they got, and the menu selection was large enough that no one had any complaints about choices, and every one left happy.

It is our absolute favorite spot for burgers. Like seriously, no other burger has been able to touch the flavor bomb in my mouth that I get at Barcelona. You order at the counter, they give you a number, and bring your food to your table. Everyone at the front counter is always cheery and welcoming and the wait for food is never long maybe five minutes. everything is fresh made right when you order it. the sweet potato fries are absolutely delicious. It's a low-key casual spot that has a beautiful outdoor seating in the back. Beautiful as in, very simplistic tables and chairs, but in a cute little garden like area that has sun shining in and plants. it's a cute little feel. Now these burgers, are delicious. We've only gotten the Barcelona burger and not tried other options because that one is so freaking good. The single has even more flavor than the double somehow because on the single patty, you can taste all of the additions: the Barcelona sauce, the tomato, the lettuce, and all of the flavors just explode. Their meat is tender. It's a thin patty and it's just delicious. If you're looking for a good, simple burger that's packed with flavor and you aren't looking for a gigantic hunk of meat, This is your spot. They do offer beer and bottled drinks and they also have desserts on site.

Placing the order and having it brought to your table within 10 minutes of perfect for hungry kids! These are smash burgers and there's only a few to choose from. All come with one side. The fries are hand cut. Kids burgers are as big as the regular size so if you have small kids one is enough. My husband loves the chicken and it is really good. It's definitely marinaded and served with two sides from a half. It's a great space to bring scooters for the kids to ride and chalk to get that last little bit of energy out before bed. It's adjacent to the Coal Pits so lots of our kids hanging out in their scooty gangs.

    Made my way down to Midway from Winston-Salem to visit Thunder Road Grill for an early lunch on a…read moreFriday. I arrived shortly after 11 and was the first guest of the day I believe. I took one of the wooden booths that line the walls and say beneath the car, truck and racing paraphernalia that adorns the walls throughout. The service was fantastic given that I was the only one to care for. I ordered the BLT plate with tater tots and a hot dog. The BLT was served on a toasted bun. The bacon was thick and had just a slight chew to it. Just the right amount of mayo and tomatoes cut to a good thickness. Hot dog was pretty great. They put a real generous amount of mustard *under* the frank then topped with chili and a nice creamy slaw. If the bun had been toasted it would have been darn near perfect. Appreciated the self-serve seasoning salt at each table. Tots were good without but especially good with. Thunder Road Grill was worth the drive and I hope to return!

    This really isn't like me, but I'm writing this on a Saturday morning and my bride and I have just…read moreagreed that we are heading back to Thunder Road Grill for the third Saturday in a row! You have to understand, that I am a total burger snob. As a reference point, my favorite burger in the Piedmont Triad is Hops Burger Bar in Greensboro, and I'll drive the 20 miles and stand around waiting on a table for 30 minutes, at the first suggestion, no questions asked. Also way up there is/was Big Burger Spot, but they've now slipped into third place since Guy is no longer the owner and overseer and now that I've had the burgers at Thunder Road. First off, they will cook your burger to your desired doneness. For me, that's the minimum standard that a burger joint has to meet, and my medium-rare burgers have been spot-on every time. From there, the buns, the topping, the sides have always been fresh, tasty and again, done to order to meet my picky requests! "Can I get those tots crispy?" "Since I haven't tried it, can you put that sauce on the side?" "Can you cook that bacon crispy but not burnt?" Each request was met with something like a "You bet!" and the execution of the request was perfect. I really like that each table is equipped with a roll of paper towels and several condiments including the local Texas Pete, as well as salt, pepper, and some form of seasoning salt. Often when I see these things on tables in diners they are grimy and the table beneath then is sticky and dirty, but they make an extra effort to keep them clean and well stocked. For example, last week I grabbed the red bottle of Heinz ketchup, expecting that I would need to request a swap with a full bottle, but no, it was totally full! Just like when I was a kid, I love crunchy potato chips on my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and I like fries with my ketchup! Let's face the facts that one of these days I'm bound to be disappointed in something, but from what I can see from the friendly and attentive staff, it's going to something I can overlook or that they'll be willing to address. Oh, that reminds me about the bathrooms! I often dread entering the men's room in a one-off diner or pub, but I was elated to find a clean and fresh smelling space that was well lit and well supplied. They've won us over. Last Saturday we bought three of our granddaughters, and today will be joined by my sister and brother-in-law, who are also locals and bound to become fans of Thunder Road Grill! As I re-read this before posting it, I wonder, why do I leave good reviews for places that I don't want to see become crowded and popular? Sometimes I question my sanity! Be sure to say howdy to me if we run into each other. And Fred B, I think you need to give them one more try.
