We frequent Mac Joe's pretty often. Lately the food quality is sub par. Service is always great and we love the atmosphere. They have changed their menu twice in the last year or so and the food quality is not what it used to be. My pasta was al dente enough that it was not good. Ky husband's pork chop was overdone on the edges and raw in the middle, was not safe to eat. The other couple with us had one good meal (steak) and one bad meal (millionaire tacosmeat was very tough not good flavor) 130.00 later and kinda wished we would have gone somewhere else.
The ambiance is one of the best in town. Both the quail and filet were cooked to perfection. It's best to go early (around 5:15) so you can be seated in the back room.
Our server was sweet, patient, and attentive. Management was visible and everything tasted amazing!
We've come here regularly and have excellent service and value. Today was a special occasion-a birthday celebration and they made us feel very special! Lovely atmosphere and staff, food is always superb and they will make it according to your specifications.
Had a reservation at Macaroni Joe's last evening, with a friend to celebrate her 60th birthday. The appetizer (Mob Queso), the adult beverages (strawberry Mezcal margaritas), and the dinner selections were wonderful and so delicious! The service from our waiter, Guy, was outstanding throughout the evening. He was efficient and attentive and even helped us in celebrating my friend's birthday in a very reserved manner (which was appreciated!). The ambiance was superb as well. I highly recommend Macaroni Joe's and can't wait to go back.
It was our 20th wedding anniversary and our waitress made us feel like we had a very special evening. We left feeling like we had really had a great celebration.
We were charged for blackened jumbo shrimp and received 6 tiny shrimp instead and the online menu stated chicken or shrimp your choice. They never offered extra bread, cheese, salt or pepper. Their on-line menu prices don't match inside restaurant menu prices. The prices were more in the restaurant. The Cesar salad was flooded with dressing. I spoke with a manager and nothing was done she just said yes that is correct the online menu prices do not match inside restaurant menu. They increased prices because other restaurants are charging more and that they are still the cheapest in town. We've eaten there many times and now we won't be back the food was just so so!
Food was good. If I made a reservation saying 15 year anniversary, only request I had was somewhere little quieter making an appointment, you shouldn't say “it's little loud over here” while sitting us. While I fully understand that it was a beautiful occasion of people celebrating birthday, perhaps atleast don't sit us right next to the crying baby. Everything else was nice.
The Quail was phenomenal. Staff was attentive and patient with our wild children. It is a little on the expensive side but worth the money. Great experience!
We had a nice meal with my mother and wife. My only criticism was that the halibut risotto dish was completely over seasoned (Salt) and when I say completely I mean more than any meal I've had at a restaurant. It was brought up with the manager who politely passed it on to the chef, but no effort to redo the dish was made.

my wife ordered the spaghetti confetti and it was far too salty. Guy, our waiter, was outstanding. While we didn't expect or request it; He saw that my wife's meal was comped. My food was very tasty and the wine selection was excellent
Fried green tomatoes were yummy. My filet was cooked perfectly, so tender. Sarah was delightful and suggested yummy selections.
Everything was fantastic! Service was excellent! It felt like we had stepped out of our time and place for awhile, no long plane ride necessary! 10/10 will be back!
Great food and great service! The waiters were very courteous and thanked our guests for their service to our country!
Very nice evening at Mac Joes. House salad was good. Loaded baked potato soup was excellent. Surf and Turf pasta was very good. Bone in Pork chop was outstanding. Server Baylor? was great.
