The food was great, especially the scramble! The service was average. The coffee fresh with real cream for the coffee. Biscuits and gravy are ginormous!

Have to say this was recommended by my hotel desk clerk and she nailed it! Between the atmosphere and food I would highly recommend you check this spot out!

Haven't been to Joe's since 1997. Still a fantastic place to grab a drink and dinner. I ordered a Mai Tai and boy, was it strong. Glad i could stop in and see that it is still awesome!The Mac and cheese is to die for.
