Staff is all very friendly and the food is always good. Always fun to go after a hike at the local state park. The outdoor dining in the summer is always busy with a lively fun atmosphere. Definitely would recommend.

Very friendly and down to earth staff. Amanda the cook is fabulous. Debbie was very outgoing and attentive. Food was all fresh made to order and generous portions. Will most definitely be back and will bring some friends next time!Dietary restrictions: My wife has a mushroom allergy and they were able to fry in a separate fryer.

Great basic breakfast. I had the cheese and veggie omelet, and my husband had the all meat omelet. Also, we got the hashbrowns and French toast to share. Huge portions. Affordable. Solid.

This can't be made up, heard about a restaurant near Joy and Ed's some time ago was so while driving through town we decided to stop. It was 835 and they actually closed at 9, the place was filled with people, but guy at door said that they had closed the kitchen. Well we walked down the block and had a great meal at Joy and Ed's, theyvhad no problem serving us even though they also closed at 9. We'll here we are driving through Utica once again 6months later so let's stop and check out the original spot we had heard about. Sign said wait to be seated, numerous people were handled around the door waiting to be seated and there were plenty open seats inside and out. I finally asked when seeing no one move in over 10 minutes what's going on, she tells me there understaffed. Well good thing for that, we're chillin outside on a lovely night enjoying an awesome meal at Joy And Eds.

We had the worst experience with the bartender on burgoo now granted I No burgoo is busy but it is tradition for me to get a Bloody Mary or Joy and Ed’s every burgoo Iv been doing this for over 30 years and for her to ignore us and take people who walked up after us and when i ordered to be told you know they sell these outside I was beyond pissed and disappointed ☹️ I also know all the bars in the area sell Bloody Mary’s ? I will definitely walk out if she is there ever again and the people I had with me from out of town said they would never go there !

When I write this review it is about the LACK of customer service me and my spouse received at a recent visit at Joy & Ed's. We went in and sat down. The waitresses were busy and I thought to myself ok one will eventually wait on us. That did not happen. We waited at our table for 12 minutes without any acknowledgment from any wait staff. No offer of a menu or drinks. But the funny thing is that the one waitress had the time to stand and talk to a male customer at the table next to us for a couple of minutes but didn't have the time to wait on us. My business will be taken elsewhere.

A very relaxed atmosphere with excellent food! Everything from appetizers to their specials to their entire menu is absolutely awesome! The chicken strips are to die for. The rodeo burger is unbelievable. Their soups and their fried chicken are outstanding. Specialty drinks are very reasonable and are homemade. , fantastic face to sit and relax and enjoy great food!
