I really wanted to love this place. As someone who doesn't hand out low ratings lightly (I'm usually a five-star kind of reviewer), this one just didn't quite hit the mark. We got there around 5:00 PM and were surprised to hear they were already out of brisket -- which is kind of a big deal for a barbecue spot. Since that was off the table, we ordered the sample platter to try a little bit of everything. Unfortunately, the ribs were really dry and barely had any meat on them. They felt overcooked and lacked that fall-off-the-bone quality you hope for. The mac & cheese was also disappointing -- honestly, you're almost better off making Kraft at home. That said, the tri-tip and pulled pork definitely saved the platter. Both had solid flavor and were cooked well, which is why this isn't a lower rating. Overall, for a barbecue restaurant, it felt below average compared to what's out there. There's potential here, but consistency and quality (especially on staples like brisket and ribs) really matter. I'd consider giving it another shot, but it wasn't the experience I was hoping for. read more

$50 of BLAND. We ordered to go: the LA dog; the babe Ruth dog; mac and cheese; fries; and a peach cobbler sundae. ALL OF IT WAS BLAND. Besides the ingredients themselves, there was no flavor, at all. They also gave us a salad, instead of fries. Why don't people double check to-go orders, anymore? I called to inform them of this experience and their phone number doesn't even work. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I came here for the ice cream and stayed for the hot chicken tenders but then discovered the brisket. Oh the brisket. What did I come here for? Oh the ice cream. Yes, that will have to wait. This is good BBQ. They've got it all, chicken, pulled pork, spare ribs, tri-tip. You'll know it when to step through the doorway; there's a cook going on and that cook is barbecue. They've got tables, booths and a nice rustic feel to the place. Flat screen TVs on the walls for whatever sporting events happen to be happening. Love them crinkle fries. Bring your appetite. read more

The food is great but ordering to-go often results in missing items, in the past we have been shorted entire entrees, sides and condiments on multiple occasions. Unless you are willing to drive back to the restaurant and wait in line to speak to someone, you have little/ no recourse. They do not answer the phone and the prerecorded message will tell you to send an email if you have issues with your order, which the staff will not answer. The only successful means of recovering money for items that I didn't receive has been to dispute the charges on my account. I shouldn't have to unpack and inspect my entire to-go order but it's absolutely necessary when ordering to-go from this establishment read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I have only been here a few times. As I write this I decided I will need to go tomorrow for lunch. When you walk in there is a large board with the menus on it behind the counter. I ordered and they delivered my order really fast. Very good and I was happy I chose to stop for lunch. I will have to try more items on the lard menu board. If you're in the area be sure to stop. read more

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. read more

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! read more

A great fast food restaurant with ample indoor seating and great parking. Located in a mini mall, this place has great food including BBQ during the evening hours. They also have a great lunch menu. Food is delivered to your table. The inside is clean and well maintained. I have been here at least twice. Food portions are large enough to satisfy your hunger. I judge a fast food place by their fries and don't disappoint. read more

I was craving a corn dog and to my surprise it was delicious! Light and crispy batter with an all beef hot dog. The fresh cut fries were like a better version of in n out fries, and they don't skimp on giving sauces. Services was friendly. Will be back when baby craves another corn dog!! read more

It's been a bit, I'll give a fresh review. This place is still a fam favorite for sure, and now that they're expanding into a smokehouse the menu is only getting better and more expansive! The service is always top shelf, and the ambiance is always positive. Lots of TV's, good music, and just good vibes overall. I can't wait to see how this place evolves once the BBQ side is fully opened - I'll be here, and I hope to see you here as well! :) read more

Love the food and choices! The service staff were super friendly and Juan the manager is a pro!!

well, we wanted to give Joe Schmoe's another try and again were disappointed. What the hell is that Lysol smell coming out of the bathrooms or kitchen. Disgusting. Also, Once again our orders came at different times for a simple group of 5. Server was shooting the bull with some other customer and we tried to ask a question about our order and they gave us the look of death, like "can't you see I'm busy". anyway that's it no more tries. WE ARE DONE. Ron and Candace Simmer... Cypress residence. read more

Rating just for the frozen custard. Points for hand scooped instead of soft serve. The single scoops are pretty large. Both the vanilla and chocolate were icy. Maybe they weren't super fresh, and got icy waiting for someone to order it? Tasted better once it warmed up a bit. We got plastic soup type spoons (with deep bowls), which made eating the frozen custard harder. Great tasting custard though. read more

Let's start with the service. The employees were wonderful and pleasant. The place was well lit and clean. I got the cheeseburger with the Russian dressing on the side and the burger was so good but the crinkle cut fries tasted like it's been in the freezer too long then cooked up. I want to like this place but maybe I'll come back and try more. read more

Joe Schmoe's - Cheeseburger and Crinkle Cut Fries - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cypress, California

Visited for the first time not long ago around lunch time. We showed up and looked at the menu which has a good amount of options. We chose a burger with slaw and tots, an order of tenders and fries with Mac. While the food looked great, it lacked seasoning and flavor. The tenders were dry and the fries lacked salt. The tots were similar. The burger was decent but did not pack the punch of other burger places I've been to. I liked the cleanliness and rock n roll theme. The staff was nice. Joe's won't sit at the top of my list at this time. I'll just have to give the other items on the menu a chance if I'm ever in town again. read more

My first visit. I had early evening rations. I ordered the tri tip sandwich and made it a combo. Sandwich quality was satisfactory but not outstanding. Meat was not cooked to order and was thinner than I would have liked. French Fries were satisfactory. I am dinging this establishment one point. Men's washroom was clean and had paper towels available... good. I do have a bone to pick about the personal appearance of the employees. I saw that all or nearly all the employees at this establishment wore their shirts untucked. I consider that to be very unprofessional. For that I am dinging this establishment one point. If I was to assign a letter grade like is done in school this establishment would be in there solid with a C. read more

Wow! What a nice renovation! The back room was really cool already. Now, they updated the front dining room and entry to match. I love the decor! The menu has changed too. No more turtle sundae. No fish n chips either. But, the custard is still there. I got the oreo cookies and cream concrete. It was delicious. They still have the hot dogs , corn dog and onion rings thankfully. They have added bbq. My dad got the pastrami and liked it. read more

You have to try it! Once you do you will have to make it back in every chance you get! Great menu, but their Hot Chicken Sandwiches are usually my go to. "Hot" is my Fav!!!!! It's really hot but that's what I like and you don't pay for it the next day if you know what I mean . They have also recently added a few items to their menu. Like my daughter's new favorite, the Grilled Cheese w/Brisket. Man is it good!!!! They also offer it with Pulled Pork. It's always a hard choice to make The tri-tip and ribs are also FIRE ‍. YOU HAVE TO COME IN!!!! Oh yeah, their really cold draft selection is good too, not overly extensive but a to cover the preferred palette, and same for wine if that's your jingle . read more

This place is amazing, We tried a little bit of everything. The Brisket sandwich with the red slaw and the tri-tip sandwich we're on point. Meats were cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful. We also shared a Nashville slider with medium heat and a Chilli cheese dog. The slider was not too spicy and had a good spice. The slaw in the slider gave it a great blance and the chicken had nice crunch and was very tasty. The Chilli dog had a great snap to it and the Chilli was delicious even just on it's own. Ended with a delicious boysenberry cobbler Sunday for the sweet tooth and it did not disappoint. Thanks to all the ladies at The front for spectacular customer service and great recommendations for our first visit. We definitely will be coming back for another visit. Hats off and a big thank you to the whole team! read more
