Customer Reviews
This is a cute family-owned restaurant which seems to have been around for a while. It is a restaurant / bar next door. They specialize in spaghetti and baked spaghetti as well as many other Italian options. The baked spaghetti can be ordered with your choice of meat and either meat sauce or marinara. If you get the loaded big spaghetti it comes with all the different meat options. It is very big and the flavor is pretty good. The spaghetti comes with a salad and soft bread. Service is excellent here.
Joe's is the perfect family restaurant 😍!! The menu has something for everyone. Unassuming decor, great service, good food, and a bar 🍸 🍺!! Soup-of-the-day was hot and delicious, bread 🍞 basket 🧺 served without asking, Chicken 🐔 Sammy was huge, Salad fresh, and sides tasty 😋!!! And large portions that don't break the bank 🏧💸! Stop by and enjoy their hospitality.....
I have been here many times over the years. Had brunch two weekends ago which was phenomenal with lovely service and got take out for dinner tonight. Never done that before but everyone was so helpful and sweet as I didn’t know where I was going 🤣 only ever been on the bar side.
Joe’s Inn is one of those rare places that feels like walking into a time capsule—in the best possible way. It honestly reminds me of “Cheers,” where everyone feels like a regular, even if it’s been a while since your last visit. We’ve been coming here for over 25 years, and I can’t even count how many meals we’ve enjoyed. The menu is full of great, basic comfort food, and it feels like it hasn’t changed much over the years—which is exactly why people keep coming back. Most recently, we stopped in for breakfast on a cold January morning when the sidewalks were covered in ice. Despite the weather, they were open and absolutely packed. Business was booming, which says a lot about how loved this place is. (The only downside? It can definitely get crowded—but that’s part of the charm.) All
I enjoyed lunch here with a group of four. I had the homemade crab cake sandwich with fries. The sandwich was delicious but the fries were the shoestring type and not my favorite. Others had the meatball sub and a pastrami sandwich which they loved. The peanut butter, key lime, and coconut pies were yummy. Service was fast and friendly.
