    Overly not a great restaurant. The menu is really weak and uncreative. The portions of their happy hour stuff is okay, but the quac is not proportional to the amount of chips you get. Service was ok. Never had any glasses cleared from our table or had regular check ins.

    Got there for happy hour but was told three of the main food items were not available leaving a very limited selection. The food we did get was overcooked, onion ring were so overcooked they were brittle and shattered when you ate them. So were the Yam fries which were as be brown as you could get them without them being burnt.

    The worst Joe's location ever! The server clearly doesn't want to be working there and the food is mediocre at best. Ordered the Baja Fish Tacos and both the fish and the side fries were nearly burnt. My friend ordered the ribs and it came out bone dry. Would not recommend trying this restaurant at all, which is a shame because other Original Joe's locations are good!

    The service was pretty bad. Took 15min to take our drink order after we sat down and another 40min for our food order to arrive. We asked for water several times and that took about another 20 minutes. They are severely understaffed or something.

    After reading some less than complementary reviews, we decided to go anyways. We were seated promptly, and drink orders were taken. Service was a little slow, but the server was friendly. To our pleasant surprise all our meals were good. The Nashville Spicy Chicken Burger came with two sides. The Spicy Shanghai Noodle Bowl and the Teriyaki Rice Bowl were a decent size and were quite flavorful. From this experience we would come back

    OJ’s is been my go to place for a long time. It’s the perfect location for when you want to go to a concert, game, anything really. The food is really great the service is superior especially if you have the server named Patty. I always ask for her section she is very upbeat, pleasent and the best server I have had in a long time. OJ’s is like the bar”Cheers” that’s how patty makes me feel. It’s warm and friendly and just an amazing place to sit back eat and drink.

    Service was ok. Server was experienced, but not overly friendly. The food was below average. We ordered a variety of appetizers to share, and they were underwhelming. The fish tacos were very fishy. Unfortunately we will not return.
