    Hot chicken sliders
    Michele M.

    I have enjoyed almost everything that I have tried here. Their Nashville hot chicken is delicious but it is spicy. Even the mild is spicy. They also have crinkle cut fries which is always a plus in my book. I recently tried their hand dipped corn dog. It was good but I wish it was a little more crispy on the outside. My family really likes their burgers but I have only tried a bite of theirs and it was pretty good. They serve bbq now so I would like to try that next. Service here is always nice and friendly.

    Moved to the area a few months ago and have frequented this establishment, my dad recommended JS and I'm glad he did! So far everything I've had here I've enjoyed. Service here is great, prompt, kind folks behind the counter. I've yet to try to the bbq but it's on my list! The bbq bacon cheese burger is wild it has coleslaw bacon, bbq sauce & and onion rings. I had it after an 18 mile run not long ago, best thing I ever had in my life. With a mug of root beer on the side. *chefs kiss* I came back 2 days later for the burger, it was memorable. The corn dog here is tasty! The hot chicken sandwich will win me over every time. Made to order, fresh ingredients. The crinkle cut chili cheese fries are a big fat YES. The custard sundaes are a slice of haven, or should I say pie because it's loaded with layers of creamy custard, pie filling, and pie crust pieces. Truly delightful! Anyway, come eat here! The games are always on, the place is well maintained, the service is good, overall a good spot to visit.

    If you want a good old American spot, Joes Schmoes is for you. From hot dogs to chili cheese burgers and spicy chicken sandwiches, nothing will disappoint. If you like fries on the crispy end, ask for crinkle cut, there are a lot of potato options from fries to tots so be sure you check it out. Service is friendly and quick, food is brought to your table. seating is accommodating for 2-8 people but consider this a place to sit down for a quick bite during your lunch break. Edit- Took some coworkers back today, everyone loved their food, unfortunately my coworker's spicy sandwich (Cluckin Hot) was not spicy at all but he still really enjoyed it.

    we recently stopped by with a craving for some delicious grilled dogs and hot chicken. the service was very friendly and food came out delicious. the tater tots and crinkle cut fries were nice and crispy but I can't say the same for original fries lol. def stop by if you are in the area!

    Found this little Cypress gem after a quick search for "good hamburger near me." I knew it was a place you order at the counter and did not expect it to be as big and cute as it is. You walk into the area with the ordering counter, and there are large menus on the wall behind the registers. They were super friendly and pretty quick. Put in your order and you'll get a number for your table. They'll bring your food out when it's ready. If to the side is a dining room with several TV's playing sports with some banquettes and booths. Beyond that is another dining room with some awesome Nashville themed decor. There is exposed brick, reclaimed wood, and garage door windows. This place has a big menu with burgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, corndogs, and the list goes on. The kicker is that they are cheap!!! A cheeseburger is only $6.95, or $12.95 for a combo. We ordered three cheeseburgers combos, two with fries and one with house made potato chips. We also got a corndog with coleslaw. None were earth shattering, but they were good, especially for the price. Seeing that this place is literally around the corner from my father in laws house, I can see us returning often.

    They glow up is real at Joes. The decor and all the tvs make it feel so cozy. The food was already good and now they have bbq stuff to amp it up! Sooo good. Dont walk to fast past the specials out front. Thank you for a great food and being consistent!

    This place was a hidden gem. Came for burgers and they were delicious! Cooked so well, lots of veggies in the bacon burger and meat so juicy. The ordering process with the cashier was easy and she kept us informed since it was our first time. I can see this place being busy on the weekends. BBQ only Thursday through Sunday so we have to come back for tha.

    It's 'cause my body doesn't stop me  Reese's Peanut Butter Concrete from #JoeSchmoes
    Mojo S.

    Honestly, I was all prepared to give this joint a 3. The chili cheese dog combo, while above average, wasn't super impressive. The chili was a little thin, which I don't mind if it isn't super chunky, but this one felt more like sloppy joe sauce rather than a proper chili. Also, the flavor wasn't really punching me in the face either. The bun was rather flimsy and fell apart after two bites. The hot dog itself was alright and had a proper snap and good flavor all the way to the last bite. Another grievance I had was my meal almost took 20 minutes to get to me after ordering, even though the joint wasn't overly busy and my order was a super small and easy one compared to some of the larger parties present. The staff was nice enough and the space was pretty ample for an establishment of this size. The ambiance was good for sure. It was just the little things that kept me from saying this place was worth the forty minute drive out. I think the item that saved this food joint from a worse rating was the concrete (mixer). I've been a fan of the sweet treat since my first trip to Minnesota and Culver's all those years ago. Indeed, a big reason I wanted to come to Joe Schmoe's was their concretes are so highly regarded it seems. My Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Concrete was sublime. Thick, rich, creamy, big chonky bits of the peanut butter cups, and just a divine mess of sweetness--I couldn't have asked for a better treat to cap off this meal. I would have this concrete a dozen more times, a thousand more times even. It was why the gods bestowed frozen custard upon us lowly mortals in the first place. It was our destiny to finally achieve this level of dessert/snack satisfaction. And if we have to get through a perfectly average meal to get to this ultimate reward, then so be it.

    Update: Went here yesterday for lunch and they have updated/rebranded themselves as a Schmokhouse. They now offer barbecue on Thursday through Saturday from 4:00 pm until they run out. See updated menu pictures. My wife was able to order their Schmoked brisket and grilled cheese sandwich that include a small cup of tomato soup to dunk your sandwich in. The sandwich is good. My only critique is the tomato soup was was very sweet. It tasted more like marinara. I suggest tweaking it and add a little heavy cream and possibly some chicken stock. I had their bacon cheeseburger which is highly underrated. It's very good. I also had their Chicago dog which very good as well. The interior is super clean and we like their booths. It's very comfortable dining inside. The staff upon entering were very friendly and welcoming. They even thanked us upon leaving. I can't wait to come back and try their Thursday thru Saturday barbecue menu.

    It looks like things are happening! Expanding the length of the place & maybe adding to their menu. An awning says "Smokehouse" as well as "Bar-B-Que" that I don't recall seeing before. Joe Schmoe's has been here for years (we were one of their first customers) offering an eclectic menu that's popular for a reason. Fun food done well. Customers order at the counter & service is efficient & friendly. The building is casual & unique & there's lots of parking spaces. It's located near Chaba, a Thai restaurant we frequent regularly but soon we'll go back to Eat At Joe's!

    Homemade taquitos, pork and chicken mix very good. He said they were my buddy Frank.

    What kind of oil do you fry your French fries in?

    All french fries, tater tot’s, potato chips, onion rings are all cooked in canola oil. The Nashville fried chicken is fried in peanut oil.

    Did this place change ownership or management? Or maybe new chef's? The girl working denied my accusations today after having a decent meal here 4 years later.

You can choose as many flavors as you'd like for the sorbet and I've even seen someone get literally all of the flavors (and I think there's at least 15+ flavors), and the soft serve is chocolate, vanilla, or swirl! The sorbet flavors are all so delicious and don't taste artificial, and the soft serve is super creamy. They pair perfectly together which is why I get it every time! My favorite part of frostbites is always the service. The workers are always so patient and let you sample as much as you'd like. They also mix unique together flavors for you to try! My favorite is the Flinstone's Push Pop and any of their Hi-Chew combinations. The caramel macchiato combination is also really good. There's definitely something for everyone and you just need to let them know if it's your first time! My friends and I always sit inside. There's usually seats available because people come and go, but it's definitely busy on most nights. A perfect way to end the night after dinner or an outing with friends!

The soft serve ice cream is decadent and there are plenty of toppings they offer. Although the fruit syrup flavors are popular, I shy away from them as some of them are two sweet and/or artificial tasting. There is lots of parking, the store is hidden in a little corner next to the gas station, and there are a few outdoor tables and chairs. This used to be my go-to location but, as you can see in other reviews, service is not the best. It's a gamble to see if they're still open after work, because the employees always choose to close up shop before the listed time. They also start serving only ice cream after a certain time that varies, which should be listed somewhere. You don't really know what time they'll decide to close up for the day or start only serving ice cream. The phone number shown online is not in service either, so you can't really call and check to see if they're still "open." When I'm just chilling in the plaza, I even see that they'll put up the 10 minute break sign sometime in the last hour before 10 p.m. (or whenever they actually are supposed to close) and then just stop serving desserts. Over time, I've seen so many people walk away and have to tell their friends no honeymee for today (rip). I get wanting to clean everything to go home earlier, but the listed times should be adjusted accordingly. Additionally, they should put up a consistent time somewhere informing that they start only serving ice cream after that time. Management clearly doesn't care based on the overall ratings. Although it is farther and a bit pricier, I primarily drive to the Irvine location now because they are much more consistent with service, have a wider menu selection, and even offer kiosk ordering.
