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.

Great family diner atmosphere. Excellent variety for breakfast or lunch…read more I enjoyed the Fiji Salad with grilled chicken and pita points. Everything was fresh, pita toasted perfectly. I opted for oil and vinegar as the apple cider vinaigrette was overly sweet, and I'm avoiding sugar. Service was spot on. Entire staff, when not busy, was cleaning around the restaurant, booths, ledges, etc. Was traveling, so if in the area, would definitely stop again.

I was very hungry and just needed some quiet time to relax. This place gave me everything I needed. It's huge, clean, well lit, and comfy. The ladies up front were sweet and my waitress was a doll. There when I needed, but not hovering. Even the bathrooms were spotless. It's definitely a breakfast restaurant, although they do have burgers and other sandwiches on the menu. But when it comes to breakfast, they had everything you could possibly think of on the menu. I ended up choosing Big K's Combo and for the price of $11.99 I thought it would be a normal size meal. I was so surprised when an incredible amount of food for the money came out. Everything was delicious. Ordering grits is a bit of a gamble lately but these were the best grits I've had from a restaurant in years. The scrambled eggs were moist and tender, the bacon was crisp, hashbrowns very tasty, and the pancakes were perfect, with those special crispy edges that I just love. This is a fantastic place to go and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants an excellent breakfast.

The only difficult task when getting food from Joe's Take-out is deciding what to order. The Beef…read moreBrisket (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.

Over five years ago, I gave Joe's a chance, only to come away unimpressed. Five years is enough…read moretime to let the disappointment fade and to give them a fresh chance, right? As the name suggests, this is still an operation focused on takeaway dining, though there are some tables available on the sidewalk outside. I'd end up taking my food home on this trip though. Once again I decided to sample the Chicago-style hot dogs offered here. And there have been improvements since my first visit. The product now comes on an actual poppy seed bun, as it should. I don't think the bun was steamed though and that hurts the texture. The hot dog itself had a good snap and taste, and the through-the-garden toppings were loaded well onto the bun. Something's still missing about the overall taste though, as these simply don't measure up to other Chicago-style hot dogs I've had -- including many far away from Chicago. The build of the sandwich looks closer to being correct than it did five years ago, but the flavors are still wrong, and I wish they'd work to figure out what it is they're missing. I placed my order on site rather than calling it in, and the young lady at the counter was pleasant. It took a little longer than I'd expected for the kitchen to prepare my order; maybe they just don't get many requests for the Windy City dog and they're just not well versed in putting it together? This latest experience leaves me scoring Joe's somewhere between two and three stars, and though the food was better than last time I still lean towards the lower side of that range. Maybe their more Carolina-themed food would be better and result in a higher rating, but there are already plenty of places I can go locally for a hot dog fixed "our way," many of which would be at a more competitive price point and with better options for drinks and seating. I wanted to try Joe's because of the hot dog options they have that aren't widely represented elsewhere in this area, and in those respects I still can't find much to love here.

We absolutely loved the Hotdogs, the chili,& the slaw complemented each other nicely. The fries were well seasoned & served hot. I definitely will be back for this combo. The Hamburger was okay, nothing that made it stand out. The onion rings were good, but the fries really shined. We had a some ice-cream which was really good. I tried Black Bear (I think), very unique and my wife did a shake which she loved. She finished the whole thing which does not usually happen. Overall, a very nice surprise !!! Will definitely be back.

My server was one of at least three working that evening, and she stayed moving at a brisk pace amongst all the diners in her section. This meant I did have to wait a bit to place my order, but not unreasonably so. After submitting my order, the initial salad course came with minimal wait. I found the bowl's contents simple yet fresh, and I was especially pleased at the quality of the cranberry vinaigrette. Just before I swept up the last greens from the salad, my main course arrived: the Mediterranean seafood pasta. I wasn't quite as impressed by this phase of the meal, however. The amount of calamari in particular was plenty, but I found it a bit too rubbery for my preferences. There were a few good-sized shrimp in the plate also, and their texture was better than the calamari's. But these items just didn't seem to mesh well with the flavors of the marinara, and the peppers and tomatoes didn't help either. There wasn't any real melding of the individual ingredients into a complete dish; each component felt as though they'd been introduced to the others at the last possible moment, and the taste of each didn't contribute to the others in a favorable way. [Seasoning the seafood more substantially, softening the added fruit and veggies with additional cooking, and using a more robust sauce would've helped, I think. Or perhaps a white wine and garlic sauce with the seafood, accompanied by angel hair instead of the spaghetti noodles I received.] All this leads me to believe I simply ordered the wrong dish for my tastes (though I typically enjoy the combination of pasta and seafood). I think I'll come back in the future and try another entree to see if that goes better. For now, though, I'll hold the rating at three stars.

Their brownie sundae looked great, but the brownie was a bit crumbly and cake like, not very brownie, if that makes sense. The ice cream and chocolate sauce was delicious though. So we'll definitely be back.

The environment hits a nice balance--family-friendly but still has that sports bar energy. Add in efficient service, and it's an easy spot to come back

Ordered all three items to share, and each one was a good choice. The Brussels Sprouts were perfectly cooked, not with the outer leaves burnt like you often see! The SW Egg Rolls were nice, but not quite as flavorful as those at Chili's. The items are not made in house, not even at Chili's, they are purchased frozen from a supplier like Sysco or US Food. I would order this again, and the Blue Cheese dressing was very good. The Cauliflower Bites were equally good, and I switched out the aioli for Blue Cheese, and it was perfect. I realize this is primarily a wood fire pizza place and I'll try one a some point, but these three items were plenty good!

Tables, floors, and the general dining area looked like they hadn't had much attention, which is hard to overlook anywhere food is being prepared. What bothered me most was the management. While I was there, I heard the manager using vulgar language and berating staff loudly enough for customers to hear. Nobody should be treated that way at work, and it made the whole visit uncomfortable. The employees seemed to be doing their best under the circumstances. Until management and cleanliness improve, I won't be back.

My wife and I have been to some of their other locations over the years, and I've always admired their business model. They keep the menu simple, focus on quality, and add little touches that make people feel like they're getting more than they paid for--piles of fries and free peanuts while you wait. Potatoes and peanuts are inexpensive, yet they create a sense of abundance and generosity. Honestly, it's a brilliant strategy. But this visit gave me a very different perspective. I arrived just before noon on a Thursday. It wasn't busy, so ordering was easy. But the prices stopped me in my tracks. A little bacon cheeseburger alone cost more than $10. By the time I added a small fry and a regular drink, my total was over $20 after tax and tip. The tipping part is what really stuck with me. When the payment screen prompted me to leave 5%, 10%, 15%, or 20%, I couldn't help but wonder--what exactly am I tipping for? This wasn't table service. I ordered at the counter, filled my own drink, grabbed my own condiments, picked up my food when called, and would clear my own table. Yet, out of guilt, I still tipped. That little moment of hesitation left a bigger impression on me than the food itself. And the fries--once a fun "extra"--didn't feel like a perk this time. My "small" order was far more than I could eat, and I ended up throwing half of them away. What used to feel generous now just felt wasteful. I enjoyed the meal, but walking away, I realized I'd remember the cost, the tipping awkwardness, and the wasted fries more than the taste of the burger. It made me think: for the same $20, there are plenty of other places where I could sit down, be served, and leave with a better overall experience. In the end, I'll probably shy away from Five Guys and fast food in general. They still make a good burger, but the value equation just doesn't add up anymore.
