Let me start with the positives. The food was very good, and the service was friendly and attentive. I ordered the shrimp and chicken Alfredo, and honestly, I enjoyed it more than the version served at some of the larger Italian restaurant chains. We also ordered a 16-inch pizza with two toppings, and the slices were huge. I was happy to see my kids get full after just two slices each. The only food item I didn't enjoy was the salad with the tomato vinaigrette. To me, it tasted like lettuce with ketchup, which wasn't what I was expecting. My biggest complaint was the temperature inside the restaurant. I'm usually the person who's cold everywhere, but I was uncomfortably warm during our visit. Everyone at our table looked like they were about to start sweating, and even some of the employees appeared uncomfortable from the heat. I would happily order the Alfredo and pizza again. If they can get the temperature inside the restaurant under control, the experience would be much more enjoyable. read more

Love this place! The food is amazing and the restaurant is very inviting and kinda has a romantic vibe to it. It is a family owned place I assume because the entire family works there and makes you feel like you're family too. read more

Great food. Friendly staff. I just wish they was opened on Tuesdays. I come into Big Springs on Tuesday nights.

Very good Italian food. Great pizza too! I'm not sure what you call the best but it's very likable!

Food is decent, however the LACK of customer service will ensure I never set foot in this establishment again. The girl at the front has a DISGUSTING attitude and should NOT work with clientele. We called to ask about the tiny portions as we picked up take-out and there were only four shrimp in the shrimp/chicken fettuccine. We are visiting from Houston. She hung up on my husband and when I called back to ask for her name she refused to give it to me. I asked for a manager and she said she was the manager and owner. I told her I'd never heard of management not providing their name. She HUNG UP ON ME 4 TIMES until the owner picked up and "apologized." Said he would talk to her. For GOOD Italian food I'd say drive out to Midland because these portions and that service is DESPICABLE. read more

This place has the best food and there pizza is best in town. Love Joe's chicken. The mozzarella sticks and dinner rolls are very good.

Everything that we have eaten, there has been wonderful. The restaurant is always clean and the waitresses are very courteous. Prices fluctuate like all restaurants do but they are very reasonable. read more

Service is always fast. Food is excellent. Servings are quite large. We always get two meals out of one order.

Great food. Good prices. We are from out of town and we decided, after our long drive, we wanted Italian. We Yelped for a place and found Joe's. The decor could be updated. The tables were in need of new finish. But we didn't come for the tables, we came for the food. My husband had Ziti and I had lasagna. It was great! read more

Meh. Their pizza is great. The rest of the food is just okay. Service could definitely be better.

Y'all. This place right here. We've had food from here on four separate occasions. The second time we were really disappointed. It just wasn't good and we'd ordered carry out. All I'm saying is EVERYONE, businesses included are allowed a bad day from time to time and the since we've not experienced poor food. We ordered the lasagna pizza tonight. While it sounds very plain Jane, do not underestimate its deliciousness. The crust is perfectly baked, the ingredients prepared fresh. It's a show stopping pizza. Huge slices, eight large slices in a size large. With COVID every-time we pick up the place seems empty which saddens me for the girls working. I tip even when carrying out. We got to help small businesses and their employees get through this hard time to the light at the end of the tunnel. Cheers to Joe's Italian Bistro. Oh! And their pink sauce... sound weird for a first timer but it's essentially their marinara and Alfredo mixed together and let me just say... I'll never go back to just plain Alfredo read more

food is great! One of my favorite places to eat out. So glad you are back downtown. BUT...watch your ticket if paying in cash. Got charged 4% credit card surcharge on a cash transaction. They also charge tax on the surcharge. Owner: this needs to be fixed immediately! read more

The food is amazing and service is quick the prices are cheap place is really clean love it!

This is only my second time to Joe's, and I'm in love. Coming from the San Francisco Bay Area I'm spoiled to good Italian food. What a lovely surprise to find a delicious option for dining out here in west Texas! Both of my visits I've ordered lasagna. The first time was a late lunch on Sunday. This time was a regular lunch on a Thursday. I assumed I'd get a smaller portion because I ordered the lunch special. Wrongo! I received a salad, full portion and two homemade raised rolls and a drink for $8.99!!! The food was out in ten minutes and it was steaming hot from the oven. My guest ordered veal Parmesan and was served a salad and a huge double portion of veal and spaghetti with marinara! We will be back! read more

Great Italian food and good portions. Really enjoyed the lasagna and cannelloni! Good indoor atmosphere for dinning although I ordered take out. Food was still piping hot when I got home. read more

Food was good. Tortellini and eggplant parmigiana. Ambiance was tolerable. Service was adequate. Ok in all. Price was fair.

We were hungry and far from civilization. This looked like the most decent place on yelp and so we took a chance. I wish we had just kept driving!! Waitress, first of all, did not know what kind of ice tea they served ie, southern sweet tea, raspberry, etc. and all because she didn't like tea. LOL! That should've been a clear sign that we should've gotten up and left. We ordered our food which was chicken Alfredo fettuccine and Stromboli. The fettuccini was swimming in what looked like Classico Alfredo sauce, even tasted like it. GROSS!! The toss salad?? Should've tossed that mess out!! It was iceberg lettuce and one sliced tomato. That's it!! Haha! Never would I ever torture anyone by recommending this place. What I do recommend is that you keep driving as far away from this place. read more

Disappointing! The tea wasn't good, so I returned it. But the biggest deal was the stuffed mushrooms. When they arrived I realized the stuffing contained crab (nothing on menu mentioned this). I told waitress we don't eat shellfish, so she returned them to the kitchen. No offer to replace with an alternative. After meal the girl who checked us out asked if all was good. We mentioned the mushrooms. She made no offer to remove the item from our ticket. So, Joe, you got your money for the mushrooms, but you've lost this family of customers. And you get bad reviews. Hope it was worth it to you. By the way, perhaps you are not aware of shellfish allergies. It seems irresponsible to have this menu item with no description of the shellfish.https://www.foodallergy.org/living-food-allergies/food-allergy-essentials/common-allergens/shellfish read more

Best bread in town, served hot with real butter! That alone is worthy of 5 stars. 85 characters, 85 characters, blah blah blah

Lobster raviolis and lasagna. Considering the food quality, excellent! The staff, really friendly and professional, and the prices, definitely in the 5...FIVE.... Range! read more

Great find! On our way passing through town. Was pleasantly suprized! Pasta was homemade!!! Sauces delicious!!! Their homemade bread was AMAZING!! Will come again. read more

Let's start with the good first. Our server was a very sweet young lady who sat us promptly and then just as promptly got our drinks and took our order. She was shy and uncertain but will someday make a wonderful server as long as customers don't crush her spirit before she's gained some confidence. Now for the food: it was ok. What does the commercial about that say? Do you want just 'ok'? The bread basket was 'ok'. It was like we had stepped back in time and returned to school. They tasted just like the cafeteria rolls. some garlic and Parmesan on them. Not bad but just ok. We got an order of calamari, which turned out to be the best things we had. We had spaghetti and meatballs, chicken parmigiana. The only way to describe them is bland. The red gravy tasted of only tomato paste. Unfortunately there just wasn't enough salt, pepper and Parmesan to help. It's not that the food was inedible but it's not worth trying again. Had high hopes but sadly they weren't met. read more

Im giving it one star because the waitress was very nice. However other than the place being clean thats all the nice I have to say. The food felt like I was eating out of the frozen italian dishes at The grocery store. I had Veal Marsala which was very runny served over spaghetti noodles. The veal was rubbery and chewy not tender. Mushroom straight from a can. My wife had Chicken Alfredo. Precooked packaged chicken and runny Alfredo Sauce. I also got a side of spaghetti and meatballs. Sauce was plain straight from a can no seasoning. Meatballs Again frozen straight out of the freezer section. On the wall it says best Italian Restaurant in Big Spring. Im guessing its the only one. read more

Got my dinner to go from Joe's last night. I got the garden salad with ranch and spaghetti and meatballs. It was so good, I scarfed it down, barely leaving any leftover. They served their salad already tossed in the dressing. This is unusual for take away, as most people like the dressing on the side to keep the lettuce crisp. I prefer it tossed because I love salad dressing soggy lettuce. Theirs was perfect. Tasty ranch, too. The spaghetti sauce tasted good, not spicy and not sweet. And there was plenty of it which was a great way to enjoy the three dinner rolls: sopping up the sauce. The meatballs also tasted great. Again, not spicy, but flavorful. Two were served and that was just enough. (I actually did have a few bites of meatball leftover for breakfast.) I'd return here next time I'm in Big Spring. read more

I've never had anything at Joe's that wasn't amazing ... but while I'm trying to cut back on pasta, I asked if they could make some kind of vegetable side instead! WOW! The spinach mushroom combo was unbelievable! This is my new favorite! read more

Joe's Italian Bistro - Chicken parm with vegetable side instead of pasta! - Italian Near Me - Big Spring, Texas

Just had Sunday lunch here with the fam. Chicken Primavera was very good & creamy, but noodles were a little sparse. Cannelloni was also very good. But pass on the Chicken Marsala - it tasted like the Ramen noodle beef seasoning mix. Side salads were ok; the homemade house tomato vinagrette dressing shined though. House rolls were mediocre & chewy. Total bill (with drinks + tax) = $38 Not a bad value for decent food. 3.5 stars - rounded up = 4 stars Total bill read more

One of our favorite places to eat in Big Spring. The chicken parm is to die for! My husband and I each customize it...me with fettuccine Alfredo noodles, and him with spaghetti with meat sauce and 2 meatballs. Their pizza is also VERY tasty, and reasonably priced. I should have posted a picture, but I couldn't WAIT to dive into it read more

Tried this place after driving by it many times and we love it! First time we went we ordered pizza and i have to say it is the best pizza in Big Spring. The second time we got the spaghetti and meatballs and some chicken with spinach and wine sauce and it was so good! Great portion size. We all got two meals out of it. Prices are great! read more

I tried this little spot while visiting my significant other. Ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo to go, chicken was an option, but I opted for meatless; two garlic knots were included, possibly homemade. I opened the bag, and the portion was enough for two meals for only $13 + change (I ordered a Coke as well)!! The food is AMAZING!! Sauce was beautifully seasoned, pasta was not over or under cooked. It was the perfect bite! Staff was super attentive and food was ready immediately after I arrived. Wonderful experience read more

New York style pizza was wonderful. I was in New York a couple weeks ago (shameless name dropping...) and tried some New York style pizza at a well reviewed place in Times Square. I honestly thought this was as good. Very nice and excellent waitress as well. Note: no beer/wine as mentioned under Yelp's listing but they'll let you byob so it's all good. read more

Oh where to start.... I do not leave reviews and this restaurant made me want to warn others. For starters, we got a waitress with hickies on her neck (plural). Then when I ordered a salad, I asked for balsamic vinaigrette and she said that they didn't have it so I got a salad with house vinegar which turned out to be cocktail sauce. However, later when my date ordered oil and vintages for the bread they all of a sudden had it. Then when we got our food we were highly disappointed. I ordered chicken parm and he got chicken Marsala. The chicken was freezer burned, mine had can tomato sauce for marinara and then his was very watery and tasted more like chicken noodle soup. Also the noodles tasted very vinegary as well. After all that I wanted to to try their tiramisu but our waitress was missing in action for 20 min and the others looked at us and ignored us, then she told us our check was up front. I would like to mention as well that the place was practically empty. We got the tiramisu anyway and that is honestly the only reason they got even a star. That was the only good part of our meal. This place is not expensive but it is over priced for the quality of food. read more

This place was great to find! I am Out of town for work and Joe's was suggested to me by the front desk at the hotel. I ordered the shrimp tortellini, it was in a garlicky pink sauce that was so delicious! I took a cannoli to go that was spot on! Really great food and really great service! read more

Don't let exterior of this building fool you. Looks a bit dated. Interior clean, small. Definitely a spot that attracts family crowd. BYOB. Prompt, good food at a decent price. Good size portions. Friendly 2 ladies working. Would have given 5 stars but marinara sauce lacked spice and leaned more on sweet side for me; a decent texture to it but could have been bulked up with some oregano and chunks of raw tomatoes. read more
