Simple decor, high efficiency, and no nonsense approach with delicious food, Joe's Diner checks all the above. Open for breakfast and lunch this is a popular place with no table left empty for more than a couple minutes. The waitresses are fast and all business. This isn't a place to strike up a conversation. The food is very good with extremely affordable prices. The maple syrup was served in a squeeze bottle that I typically see reserved for malt vinegar or mustard, and was a bit watery but the French Toast was delicious. It was light, fluffy, and very eggy. Was it the best I have eaten? No, but it was very good. Joe's is a great place for a quick bite at a great price point.

Location: Middle of farm country…read more Parking: Lots. Although it's pretty busy there, so you may have to circle a bit if you want to park really close Building: It is pretty big and there's an entrance and an exit door although I don't think they're labeled.Just everyone knows. You walk into the store part, and then you turn to the left to go, put your name down to go to the restaurant. The restaurant waiting area is pretty big. They have church pew seed thing along the walls, and there's things you can look at Food: I think the thing they're known for is they're broasted chicken. I didn't get it it just looks like fried chicken I don't know what broasted is but a lot of people got it. They also have meats of the day. When I went the meats were the chicken, turkey and pork chop. Why I was waiting to be seated I was talking to a couple and a couple things were recommended the turkey dinner because they said it would be like having Thanksgiving in the summer and pick the cheddar biscuit. Every meal includes a fresh from the oven biscuit. Oh I have to say the menu does have other things on it like hamburgers and I think chicken fingers and such but most people just went for the meats of the day. That I could see So I got the turkey you can get small medium or large they suggest small for seniors so I picked a medium which was a lot of food and I'm a big eater. I also got a slice of pie there's a bakery with a lot Kadish you can buy and they fresh bake all the pies in the morning for us and I got a rhubarb custard pie and it was delicious. Actually the whole meal was fantastic so I got a turkey with stuffing mashed potatoes gravy corn cranberry sauce and a biscuit and a pie. It was absolutely delicious. I just wish that it was closer because I would love to go more. Everyone was friendly the food was good and they sell bakery items frozen items gift ware. I can see why it's really busy Oh I forgot to mention there's also a little farmers market in the parking lot Okay think that's it. So I would go again in heartbeat

The ribs were moist, flavorful, and tender. The brisket was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The chicken wings were lightly breaded, crunchy, and delicious.

This place has a really cool vibe and nice decor. I will come back to try more delicious offerings. I highly recommend it!

Gord and I had lunch at Montana's BBQ & Bar on Wednesday…read more I had Buttermilk Fried Chicken (Tender, seasoned chicken: marinated in buttermilk and hand-tossed in our signature breading. Served over garlic mashed potatoes, freshly baked cornbread and topped with country-style gravy.). The potatoes were a tad salty and most of the batter on the chicken was the texture of solid rubber. This was my go-to when I went to a Montana's ... this time not so much. Gord had a Chicken Burrito Bowl (Fire-grilled, seasoned chicken breast on top of a bed of rice, roasted corn, beans, cheese, red peppers, guacamole, house-made Pico de Gallo and garnished with a creamy cilantro sauce and crunchy corn tortillas.). We realized long after we'd left that Gord's meal was missing the tortilla chips.

Everything was delicious and portions were perfect. Husband had a chicken pita and decided on tots for his side. I stole a few tots and they were delicious. Nice and crispy. Service was excellent.

For my main I went with the Karaage fried chicken bento box which was a generous portion of chicken with a peanut crunch salad, "scattered" omelette sushi, pork and shrimp gyoza, and a side of miso soup. It was all SO good and SO much food! I was uncomfortably full by the time we finished and packed mine up to go (the chicken made an excellent midnight snack later that night when I had the munchies back at our apartment!) Price point is great, portions are generous, staff was lovely, and the space itself was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Can't ask for much more! We'll definitely be back!

The ambience is cozy with dim lights and comfortable booth seats. They are doing good business -- they were already filling up as soon as they opened, and by the time we left (around 1pm), they were completely full! I had wings, and my friend had the daily sandwich and pasta salad. While she was happy with the taste and portions of her food, I cannot say the same. The wings were quite overseasoned, so the overpowering flavour was salt, and the overcooked meat did not taste fresh. The price was reasonable, and the service was alright, though. The menu looked like it offered a good variety.
