Joe's BBQ & Fish offers a variety of barbecue options, including turkey tips, fish, and chicken. The menu also features a range of desserts. Despite being a small restaurant, it has a loyal following for its best-tasting rib tips and pizza puffs with mild sauce. Service is friendly and kind. Many customers praise the food quality, with one mentioning that the pit master recommended the HUNGRY MAN special, which was described as heavenly. Visitors often find the food hot and ready for pickup, creating a positive vibe that reminds some of Chicago's lively scene. However, experiences can vary; wait times sometimes reach 40 minutes, especially for specific items like baby catfish, and the pick-up process could be improved with better organization or a buzzer system. The ventilation has improved but can still be smoky at times. The sauce is highly praised, though some find the rib tips to be thin and fatty considering the cost. Staff members work hard, though a few have been observed under the influence, which affects service quality. Calling in orders can be difficult during busy times, and customer service may not always meet expectations. There have been occasional issues with cleanliness, such as sightings of baby roaches, and some customers have noted the need for better staff conduct away from the counter. Overall, Joe's BBQ & Fish remains a popular spot with great food, but it faces some challenges in operations and cleanliness.
