Great small town Italian place. We finally tried Joe’s for the first time this week and it did not disappoint. Wonderful food and excellent service. Adrianna was our server and she was so great to us. We will be coming back again.

Great "little hole in the wall"!! Never judge a book by its cover. In town for business and decided to try this place out after reading the reviews and hearing about it from a coworker. Man, was I NOT DISAPPOINTED!! The food definitely tastes authentic, everything was flavorful, serving was appropriate, pricing doesn't hurt the pocket, and you cannot be unsatisfied with anything. Service was great! I ordered the combo plate ( the first day) and had to go back for more the very next day (had the trio plate) with my 2 coworkers from China. Complete amazement. Bread was amazing, the salad was too, sweet tea is perfect, and the Italian Cream Cake for dessert. OMG, complete satisfaction. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! I will be back for more. Great job everyone.

Absolutely amazing. After a hard day of fishing my friend and I decided to get a bite here. We both had the spaghetti and I had a glass of Moscato wine. I Felt as if I was sitting at home and my mother just served me up a plate. The waitress was awesome! Zero complications whilst we were there! I highly, HIGHLY recommend Joe's ITALIAN RESTAURANT!

Amazing food!!! I eat at Joe's often they have great food!! I always enjoy whatever I order the prices are great for the size (most plates are 12 to 15 and I often have leftovers to take home). The food is always fresh (especially the rolls), my favorites are the Philly Cheesestake Pizza and the Chicken Florentine!!! The pictures attached are the Spaghetti Works and the Ribeye Steak and Veggies, both are delicious!!!

Been dying for good Italian food and finally found it here. Fresh bread, cheese sticks and meatball marinara was what we started with and was awesome. We got chicken Alfredo, a kids cheese pizza, the combination trio, chicken alacasa, chicken primavera for our meals. All except the kids meals came with salad (try the awesome house dressing) I wasn't a fan of the fettuccine or lasagna on the combination trio but everything else was top notch. We added 6 pieces of cheesecake which was also fantastic. Definitely going to return to try the other items on the menu.

My husband and I love this place! You get a fresh baked bread with butter, salad that goes with most dishes, and a large plate of what you ordered. I haven't been able to finish my plate here yet. So I get to finish this deliciousness at home, which is awesome

Excellent surprise gem! We were traveling through on New Years Eve and needed a quick bite, and most places were closed. I couldn't tell enough about what was in the pizzas when looking at it through Google, so I called and asked them if I could order it with the toppings I liked. I ordered a 14" thin crust with hamburger, spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms. It came out shortly after we got there and was perfect. We said a few different times while eating, "This is really good!" It's located conveniently on the road, the prices were reasonable, the food at other peoples' tables looked yummy, and the staff was friendly and professional! We look forward to the next time we are passing through!
