The Scene – Each Joe's location handles a steady flow of hungry families and casual couples tired of national chains' bland cuisine and soulless atmospheres. While most nights bring standing-room crowds, waiting for a table can be avoided by sitting at the bar (the better to sample from a surprisingly varied, yet affordable, wine list). Servers, while kept in constant motion by the hungry masses, manage to keep baskets of spongy focaccia filled. – – The Food – While most diners come for the eclectic, stone hearth oven-baked pizzas (shrimp and artichoke, spicy…

One of our favorites!

I love this place! The service is always great! I look forward to their bread and delicious dipping oil that they serve. We like to bring friends and family here when they come to visit, because we know we can always expect a good meal. Their rasberry mojitos are yummy, too!

Fantastic Food

by sclove44

Great food mostly the pizza!!

they have the best bread with dipping oil that I have ever had.

The only problem was it took seversal minutes at the Arlington location for some one to come and seat us we were waiting a while and had to track someone down but it was worth the wait hoping that was a one time thing, I have had great service at several of their other locations.

  • Pros: Great Food, Great Drinks from Bar

Below Average Joe's

by bostonian71

Went to this location for the first time a few weeks ago, and the service did almost everything possible to drive us away:

1. They had no trace my friend's reservation, even though she'd called twice to confirm.

2. One person was about to seat us at an open table, but was overruled by the person running the floor, who gave the table to someone whose reservation they hadn't managed to lose.

3. Our waitress dawdled, mixed up orders (what's hard to understand about "no bacon, please"?), and did her level best to ignore us.

If we hadn't had a large group meeting us, we would've left to find a restaurant with service closer to average.
