Nice place, nothing too fancy. Poke bowls are good. Good drink selection. The staff are very, very friendly and accommodating. Very casual atmosphere, chill and relaxed. Definitely recommend!

Excellent and outstanding service from our server, Terrance who was exceptionally warm and welcoming. Grilled chicken Caesar salads were fresh and delicious. The Burger was amazing and grilled to perfection. This restaurant has a relaxing and super chill vibe. Family and child friendly. Super highly recommended!!!

Below average Joes. Chicken Caesar Wrap had just a few little pieces of chicken, basically just lettuce and dressing. Tomatoe soup was served cold, well done burger was completely charred and inedible. Ordered a cheeseburger and it came with no cheese. Waitress was very attentive though.

Saw not one, but two mice while eating at this place. The mice were running around while we had dinner. The waiter said he was going to let the manager know, but nothing was done.

Only giving one star because the waiter was nice. But NEVER coming back.

My friend and I came here for my birthday. The girl at the front desk had a serious attitude. Maybe it's since Armore is a rich area, and the people that live there are stuck up and entitled... I'm not sure. She barely looked up when we came in and barely spoke to us as well. She also gave us a really terrible table to sit at that was right next to the front door. We ended up asking her if we could move somewhere else, and she still had an attitude. We waited 10 minutes for another table and ended up leaving and going to Bam Bam. Bam Bam NEVER disappoints, and their service was so much kinder. Also, the princes at Not Your Average Joe's have DEFINITELY gone up due to inflation. I went there two years ago and I don't remember things costing so much. Anyway, it's definitely not the best experience I've had. That girl gave off a strange vibe... she was totally jelly or something.

Have visited this restaurant many times over past 6 to 7 years. Prices are increasing and value overall decreasing. This visit my husband and I had one flatbread and one pizza. They were both delicious, but the pizza was absolutely drowning in grease.  The primary reason for my lower rating is an untrained very slow server. Took forever to get one glass of iced tea and one beer. Water was not offered. The iced tea was warm and tasteless. Had to send back. Then it took forever to get the pizza even though the restaurant was Quite un busy. Waitress brought pizza without plates to eat it. A request for extra napkins when ignored. Had to ask for water. Then she came by to pitcher while we were clearly still working on the pizza and not finished. When we declined dessert and iasked for the check, we waited about 10 minutes to get the check and then at least another 15 minutes before it was picked up.

Awful food. Period. Mike drop. Literally nothing was tasty. Feta dip, Cubano, chicken wrap, awful. Wrap unlike any I've ever had. Bready wrap with mainly vegetables and a few chicken pieces (VERY FEW EENY TEENY PIECES) with tasteless sauce. We consider it the worse meal out in years, maybe ever.

The food was very good, however the service was poor. We waited over an hour for our meals because the server "forgot " to bring them, however she never came to check on us. The manager did apologize and comped drinks and apps, but I would hesitate to go back.

Birthday date with my sister on the outside patio. They start with a nice parmesan, chili pepper oil with bread, and we tried the charcuterie board, which was newly added. It was quite delicious, I had the super crunch salad, and my sister had the korean beef and noodle bowl, both are very filling and flavorful, not too salty either. We also had a pitcher of watermelon sangrias, they will sneak up on you lol. Bree and Matt/Ryan lol were so attentive, gave great customer service, and even asked our opinion to better their menu. Bathrooms were clean, atmosphere super nice for any occasion, and wheelchair accessible.

Frequent visitor here. I suggest not getting the sirloin steak. Way too expensive for the amount of steak you get, plus I didn’t get the steak how I asked for it to be cooked.

Overall I enjoy coming here, but I might just stick with my regular food items next time.

My family and I decided to dine at this restaurant primarily for its inviting outdoor seating, hoping to savor a peaceful evening just before sunset. The ambiance was indeed lovely, and I was eager to enjoy a relaxing meal with my loved ones. Despite some hesitation due to the restaurant's less-than-stellar reviews, I chose to give it a fair chance. Regrettably, the low Google rating turned out to be an accurate reflection of the experience.

There were, however, a few commendable aspects. The outdoor seating was delightful, and the quality of the food ordered by the adults in our party was appreciable. Nevertheless, significant shortcomings in both service and the children’s menu overshadowed these positives.

One of the most disappointing aspects was the inattentive service. I tend to drink ample water while dining, but after taking our order, the waitress did not return to our table. It was disheartening to finish my drink shortly after it was served and then be left without anything to accompany the meal. Adding to the frustration, our appetizers arrived simultaneously with the entrées, which disrupted the flow of the dining experience. When the waitress finally reappeared long after we had finished eating, I requested another water and the check. While she brought the water, she failed to provide the check, necessitating a trip downstairs to settle the bill at the front desk. This lack of attentiveness significantly detracted from the overall experience.

Moreover, the children’s menu was underwhelming. We ordered a simple buttered pasta for my daughter, priced at $9.95, which included a bottomless drink. As my daughter only wanted water, the value of this offering felt unjustified, especially given that the dish did not come with any sides. The cost seemed exorbitant for what was essentially a basic and inexpensive meal, leaving us feeling somewhat overcharged.

While the outdoor seating just before sunset provided a charming and cozy atmosphere, and the adult meals were satisfactory, the subpar service and overpriced children’s menu were disappointing. It’s unfortunate that such a pleasant setting could not be paired with an equally pleasant dining experience. I found myself wishing that the inviting outdoor space could be enjoyed at a different establishment, one that values both its service and its patrons.
