We went for Father's Day, reservations at 11. We were seated immediately and our server and service were fantastic. The food (Joe's Classic Sampler appetizer, Broiled Seafood Platter, Captains Plate, and Not Joe Mama's Chicken) were soooo good, but sooo much food that we all took at least half of our main courses home. We also had the apple crumble for dessert (which is why we took half of our food home because we wanted to leave room for dessert!). It was the BEST...

Melanie was an absolute rockstar behind the bar! She was on time, super attentive, and gave me exactly what I needed without missing a beat. On top of that, she had a great sense of humor and kept the vibe fun the entire time. It’s always a good day when you have a bartender like Melanie—professional, quick, and genuinely entertaining. Highly recommend!

Food was good. Service was horrid. We were there before it got busy and had to find someone to place an order...and when someone came to the table, they would get a drink order for one or two and walk away ignoring the others.
