Great food, service, and relaxful record player musicIf you want good Wings in a creamy sauce that are not spicy but have a little spice, then these Dirty Bird Wings are for you with the bones easily coming breaking apart form the meat. The fries are like the apple peeler style cut.The fish and chips (fries) were delightful and would be purchased again.Desert was luscious in flavor.The Yardsticks be either strawberry or blackberry, were that you could not get enough.Blackberry crown chest pie was silky and smooth. Where you want the whole pie and just a piece of the pie.I ate this all in one sitting at dinner.

This was an awesome little bar/restaurant with a great atmosphere. The live music was nice, since we went on a Saturday night, and the crowd was friendly. Will definitely be back!

Simply wonderful every time!My new favorite place to dine with family and friends. The warm inviting atmosphere is enhanced by deep dark wood interior decorated with an eclectic old world charm. Imported beers on tap, top shelf spirits, live music and the best food around; obviously prepared and served by folks that care about your experience.

Finally tried this place out after a couple of friends recommended it. I had the monte cristo and my friend had the wings absolutely delicious. Owners were very nice and the beer was good could have a better selection but was ice cold. Fries were crispy and delicious and the owner said the secret was the use real potatoes lol very friendly and nice people.

I ended up at Joe’s by accident. I had the Cobb Salad and Irish Nachos. (I’m not a salad person) the salad was good. It had halved tomatoes, avocado’s, chicken and more. Easy to eat and easier to take home. Forgot to take a picture. The Irish Nachos were amazing!! WOW. Not what I expected but surely my new favorite. ❤️

What can I say, I love some good chicken! Packed full of flavor with great diversity. Who knew you could do so much with chicken sandwiches and sliders. Our waiter was humorous and kept us in good spirits. The historic city makes its presence in the atmosphere of this downtown restaurant. Would definitely go again!

A little nostalgic paired with a lot of deliciousness. Today our table started with a seasonal special of fried squash paired with fried okra. So fresh and definitely hand battered for a perfect crisp. This place is well known for its limited offerings of tasty specials so of course I ordered the special, called The Wilbur. Its a sandwich served on toast and stacked high with hot links, pulled pork, fried bologna, and drizzled with a tangy bbq sauce. I paired the sandwich with the creamy yet slightly spicy skillet Mac for a home run combination. The meal was huge so plenty of leftovers to savor the tastiness again and enjoy more bang for my buck. As always the service was amazing, quick, and courteous. I frequent this place often for lunch and have always enjoyed the vintage feel complete with the record player spinning vinyls and filling the air with good music. My all time menu favorites at this local hot spot are the biscuit sliders and the skillet mac. The dirty bird is the best, but get the trio of biscuits and try one of each to find your own favorite flavor.

I always enjoy coming here. You can't go wrong order the sliders. The daily specials have been a welcome change!

We have been here twice and both times have been good! I got the hot trio sandwich and the second time I had a Cuban. Both were tasty! The menu is small but they have daily specials to go along with it... The food is well put together and the wait staff are attentive. It's in a cool building so makes for a neat atmosphere.
