“My wife and I, our niece and her boyfriend went to Joe K’s for brunch on Saturday, February 14th at 11 am. It’s a popular time so we had a short wait (10 minutes). Our server, Renee, was very friendly and efficient. Food was served quickly and was absolutely delicious.“

“The food and service is always good. Carry out or dine in“

“We went to the drive through location. For a meal as solid as this, at a touch over 9 dollars, I was absolutely floored. I got their grilled chicken sandwich and was met with a level of ecstasy I’ve only achieved through extraneous substances.“

“The only thing that disappoints about this place is they close early. The food is excellent, large portions for a small price and friendly people. I ordered the gyro and I got the soup with it. I expected a smaller bowl since it was not the main dish, but the bowl was a meal by itself. The gyro was delicious and they had real tzatziki sauce (cucumber sauce).“

Here's your review:

Went in for Day 1 of my birthday celebrations, walked in with full crown and bday sash it brightened up everyone's day hehe.

Our waitress was nice, organized, thought ahead, non-judmental about my food allergies and me being so extra for my bday 🎂 🥳 activities.

We ordered waffles with eggs, turkey bacon, grits and had browns and they were as great as expected. The hot chocolate was good though it would have been better to fully desolve the powder in a smaller amount of hot water then fill the cup after.

They no longer have the syrup basket but as you can see in the photos they do service it in little cups upon request.

Overall the experience was nice, not a long wait time, and friendly environment. It would have been sad if this place was closed but Im happy its still standing. Until next time, happy eating 🥰🥳“
