Joe's Italian Ristorante Ponchatoula

This was my first time here at Joe's. My family and I were greeted and seated right away in a spacious booth. Everyone there was so great and friendly. Our drink and appetizer order were taken immediately. We were served fresh baked dinner rolls with our drinks. The evening started out with a delicious appetizer of calamari. Served with lemon and marinara sauce. The batter was excellent. Seasoned to perfection. Our main course consisted of  The Tour of Sicily Platter, Chicken Marsala, and Chicken Parmasian. Everything was just so savory and delicious. This restaurant is spacious, great for families or intimate dinning too. Perfect for grabbing a drink as they have a spacious bar to catch the game. Joe's even has a banquet room for events. When the weather becomes cooler there is a large di

Just got back from Joes, haven’t been in a while. Still as good as ever. Had the lunch chicken cacciatore, wife had chicken parmesan, both on the lunch menu. I noticed someone gave a bad review and started with eatable instead of edible which immediately made me think that the review was useless already. I heartily recommend the cacciatore for lunch because the breast is sliced in small thin pieces which gives it more body in the sauce instead of whole breast which tends to be drier .

They did not accommodate our large group well. We had a very large group for a Christmas party. With reservations plenty of time in advance for them to staff the kitchen and wait staff properly. It took over an hour for everyone to get drinks, you had to ask for refills. Having pitchers of water and popular soda options in the large dinner area with one server designated as the drink person would have made that part efficient. But we just had to try to flag down a server when they passed by to ask for refills repeatedly. They never bused the tables! After appetizers we had to turn our present table into our own used dish station to have room at our table for dinner. It took a long time for everyone to get their food. Many people had to ask for their food after most of us had food. They had

This place is the hidden gem of the area. Lack of advertising may be killing this place (if they are struggling at all). I’ve been in this area my whole life and have never heard anyone mention it. We were looking for a good pizza Sunday and decided to give Joes a try based on another persons review. This place did not disappoint in any fashion. It it top notch food and fair prices. We ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms and supreme pizza. They first dropped some delicious garlic rolls on our table free of charge. These were some of the best rolls I’ve had. They were super soft, yet with a perfect crust and drizzled with garlic butter. The stuffed mushrooms came on a hot plate filled with a creamed spinach (and maybe artichoke) dip. So after the mushrooms we dipped bread in the sauce to sop

Just spend $80 for two people to eat what was seriously dinosaur chicken nugget meat and 100% fake crab meat. Never brought the salads that were supposed to come with the $80 meals. Valentine's night and there were only 5 meal options which were all over $25. Very unprofessional service; employees hanging out and goofing off while there's food on empty tables. You could hear employees screaming in the kitchen area. Super disappointed to spend so much and get such a bad experience. We will definitely go to Roux & Brew or Tope La next time and spend less and get good food with Real meat.
