Our plan was to grab a late…read morebreakfast, do a little shopping, tour Blacksburg to witness how much it's changed, then attend the basketball game. Joe's was a nice start to the day as they provide good food and good service within a tiny, but capable venue. Joe's is located near the Main St-College Ave intersection, next door to Hokie Hair (mind you, College Ave is no longer open to traffic, it's now a huge sidewalk). They are small and, since all the buildings along this portion of Main St are older, its interior is dark and dated. A makeover could be in order, but its old school look and feel lends itself to the friendly small town vibe I've become accustomed to in Blacksburg. This diner was nearly full, so we sat at the bar. There were three servers on the floor - all students. All three were friendly, helpful and loquacious (we talked about college in general, how to take advantage of a college's resources, and even discussed desired future outcomes of their educations - plenty of interesting topics for a chill Sunday morning). Neal had the t-bone steak and eggs, while I ordered a dish known as Joetaters (diced potatoes, cheddar jack, eggs, onions, peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms; and a choice of either bacon, ham, country ham, or sausage). Joetaters also came with a choice of white or wheat toast (or you can choose a biscuit for an extra $1.50). I chose wheat toast, and the entree was excellent. Neal ate his entire meal, so it's safe to say we enjoyed our food. Joe's is an excellent diner with awesome food and service. I can't wait to dine there again when I return. Thank you, Joe's Diner!

The older woman who waited on us was very nice and exuded Southern charm. She was the best part of breakfast. I ordered sausage gravy and biscuits, scrambled eggs and sausage. I tried to order grits, but they didn't have any. The coffee was very good and should I've taken a cup to go. The eggs and sausage were good. However, the sausage gravy and biscuits were not very good. Biscuits just not taste good. I'm not sure why but it was missing. The gravy could've been lighter and had more sausage in it. I imagine if you were just looking for an omelette with some fries and a side of bacon or sausage you would do just fine.

The staff are friendly, especially Cricket . I wish I could rate the food higher but bottom line it's marginal. The home fries and hash browns are tasteless and very greasy. As for bacon, sausage and eggs they are ok, the gravy biscuit would have been OK had it been warmer. While the service was good, the food did not come out at the same time and my gravy biscuit had been sitting for quite a while and was cold and gummy. I had been in the past and the food was better . Time for improvement in the consistency area.

Next time we'll stay the entire weekend. Thank you, Nick!

The place outside/inside wasn't much to look at but the reviews said the food was good. The reviews were right about the food, and sketchy bathrooms. It didn't mention the gnats and flys we shared our lunch with. While I killed several, I think they were just the scouts... The salad was fresh with peppers, tomatoes, and cucumber. The Stromboli and "taste of Italy " were delicious. Overall service and food were EXCELLENT but I don't think I could dine in again. Get your food to go and you will enjoy.

And the food itself was...above average, I'd say. Nothing stunning, but okay stuff. Now, the dislikes: really small seating area with some rickety wooden chairs. If you can't fit in a booth, they have like one 4 person table and the rest tiny 2 person ones. The chicken stromboli I got came served on a small metal plate that was hard to eat from, and the bathrooms were pretty terrible. About what you'd expect in a high traffic place like this at a truck stop. It's overall a 3 star place, I'd say. Nothing great, nothing awful, would consider stopping again if I'm in the area. Next time I'll try the gyro.
