    Our friends told us this place was good. We finally tried it out. Very glad we did. This place will be a regular stop for us now. From the second we walked in there was friendly faces to greet and seat us. My wife had the chicken veneta and I had the lasagna. We were both extremely impressed. But perhaps the best dish was the clam chowder- phenomenal! homemade bread with fresh garlic dipping oil was exceptional. Service was excellent; plenty of help and staff was always prompt. We dined for lunch and the prices were incredibly reasonable especially considering how much food we got. Lunch menu is less than $10.

    This place is incredible! We are Italian and I grew up on my grandmother's recipes so eating Italian food out is risky for us. Joe's is so good I doubt my family now!! This is my daughter's favorite place and she got us hooked! The sauces are so flavorful, extremely fresh and always good. My leftovers were still warm when I got home. Today I had the shrimp Alfredo with spicy pink sauce instead of Alfredo. The portions are large! Always lots of shrimp! Easily shareable. The bread is heavenly and every dessert is delicious. Please try their tiramisu! Chef's kiss🤌 I also love that they are huge supporters of 1st responders. Prices are very reasonable, you will not be disappointed!

    I’ve had the ability to dine here at Joe’s a few times. Their portions are very acceptable and the quality is high for a Texas-based Italian restaurant. I would encourage the owners to take a trip to New York City or Long Island and simple the dishes there and try to replicate the flavors. If they could do that by reading would go to 05 without a doubt. I would recommend more generous use of garlic and Locatelli cheese. I would also recommend the opportunity to be able to buy Coca-Cola products over Pepsi as a personal preference. I also applaud this restaurant for its tremendous get back to the local community.

    The food was good and the service was friendly and on top of everything. I think the part that I didn't like was the environment. I feel crammed in with a bunch of people in one square room. The quality of the food and menu didn't match with where we ate. I can't say I like all the ugly signs out front either , but we are all different people . Thanks for the great food.

    Great Italian food. Really tasty. I’m going to become a regular here! Good ice tea also. Wine suggestions alongside items on menu and there were several beer choices. Since it was our first time, we got a combo plate and the Italian Sampler. Loved the manicotti and the house tomato vinaigrette was tasty. It’s a small place and was full at 5:30 on a Sunday.

    I was told they had great Alfredo by a friend I trust. So when I had a chance to visit I didn't get the Alfredo. I got the only dish I've never even heard of, chicken caciofi. Oh my goodness. Sauteed chicken breast with artichokes, and a white wine cream sauce with a touch of marinara sauce over your choice of pasta. FANTASTIC. and I didn't get the servers name but he was fantastic, funny, and just attentive enough to know we were important but not interrupting.

    Joe’s Italian is ok, but the sauces are bland, the Alfredo sauce is without taste, salt and pepper can’t even help it. We tried there lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and did the sampler, wasn’t very impressed with any of it, best part of the meal was really the free bread and butter they give and the salad that came with the sampler. Service was good though, very nice and friendly staff, but honestly they need to change up there sauces with flavor, not really a place we will go back to though. Aside from the service, food wasn’t worth the price, the adult size was the same size or smaller than the kids portion.

    Always wanted to try this place out. Glad I did. Went during lunch time. I had the lunch special and chose lasagna that came with soup or salad, I chose soup. It was wedding soup. That was incredible. Now the lasagna was very good, but just not served the way I was expecting it. I would like to see what I'm eating, meaning to see the layers of the noodles, the cheeses, the sauce, cut nicely in a square served on a plate. This was served in a those long bowl type plate where stuffed shells might be served in. Don't get me wrong, the lasagna was delicious but trying to cut the lasagna with gooey cheese in this type if serving dish was a bit awkward. So I only ate half. The bread rolls were very garlicky and baked to perfection. Would I try this place again? Yes. And from just reading what the menu offers, I will be back and I will ask how it will be served and if possible can it served on plate to accommodate me?

    After researching google reviews we headed out for dinner. 4.6 out of 5 sounded promising. The good: Great paper napkins if you ask. Waitstaff was good. Prices are reasonable. Food came out quickly. The bad: The food. Ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and it tasted almost as good like it came out of a can. Husband had chicken parmigiana and it looked very good. However it was burnt but covered by the cheese. Very disappointed in overall experience. Eat at your own risk.

    Our waiter was great. Food was pretty good. Very fresh. I love the cozy feeling of the restaurant, but it did seem a little crowded to me.

    I went here today with a friend and it was great. The food was very flavorful and it was so good that I even forgot to take a picture of the tiramisu! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I did not feel rushed at all. The food was really fresh and they even provided some special requests without any hesitation. Great food, fair pricing and a really good atmosphere. I will definitely come again sometime when I am in town. Thank you! No

    Decided to try this place out, as it is a friend's favorite. I thought the food was excellent! The Alfredo saice was just right. The marinara sauce was good too, but it tasted better with the lasagna than on the spaghetti. I guess the combination of other ingredients made the difference. I will definitely return for more great food! Service was casual and friendly. Mom and Pop perfect!

    This place is close to my house but, I have never gone in. So, it was my daughter's birthday, and we went to have dinner. The chicken and tortellini soup was so delicious, we all had a bowl each. The food is so tasty. The ambience is cosy, and very clean. The employees were attentive, friendly and helpful.!

    12/4/2023 - Edited to add: We tried Joe's pizza for the first time this weekend. It was delicious! Definitely recommend! My boyfriend and I tried Joe's for lunch and we were definitely not disappointed! I ordered the Penne Fra Diavolo and added meatballs, and he ordered the Pasta Sampler. Both meals came out hot and fresh and tasted amazing! Our meals came with garlic rolls and a salad. It ended up being a lot of food for an extremely reasonable price. We will definitely be back to try more items!

    Pleasantly surprised with restaurant and service. Menu has many great options with reasonable prices. Food quality and presentation exceeds others at this price point. Seasoning is basic and would appeal to most, more pepper, garlic and basil would be great!

    Being italian myself, I'm very skeptical about italian restaurants. After seeing many posts online about how good the food was here, my son and I decided to give it a try. We were sat immediately and given warm bread rolls, that reminded me of bread knots. The pizza was recommended, so we ordered a 16" pepperoni and bell pepper pie and a Sampler to share. Everything came out very fast and the wait staff were kind and on top of things. The pizza had great flavor, but it was so floppy it was only edible with forks and completely fell apart. The sampler had WAY too much cheese. I never thought I could say there was too much cheese on anything. You have to chew your food for 5 minutes as to not choke on that mozzarella. The marinara was mediocre at best. Maybe it's just the day we went or the dishes we ordered? I know the white sauces I saw coming out looked good. Very cute small restaurant feel, but I will just cook my italian at home.

    This is a little hole in the wall “Italian” joint. I don’t understand the hype or ratings because the food was awful. It reminded me of a restaurant you’d see on Kitchen Nightmares. The bread rolls were decent but the butter was rock hard cold- how in the world does a restaurant sever cold hard butter and expect you to spread it on bread. 🤦🏻‍♀️ The salad that came with the meal looked and tasted like soggy bagged salad that was hours from expiration. I ordered the “chicken primavera” and it’s nothing like I’d expect with what chicken primavera should look/taste like. I even confirmed after my plate arrived and was assured it was in fact what I ordered. It looked like a plate of slop. The angel hair pasta was overcooked and mushy under all the sauce and the chicken was absolutely disgusting- definitely not the “sautéed chicken” that they describe on their menu. It was like a frozen Tyson Chicken cutlet that was boiled and coated in a jar of sauce. I addressed this with the waitress and she was very nice about it overall but seemed way too young to comprehend the situation or try to resolve the issue and seeing as the restaurant was insanely crowded there was really no point in sending it back to order something else so I just paid and left the plate.

    Was craving some pasta and came across Joe's Italian Restaurant. Seated quickly and my server Sharlotte got me set up with some water and a Shiner Bock. Went with the Spaghetti & Meatballs but also requested some sausage too. The meal came with a soup and the special was a Chicken Tortellini with spinach and it was DELICIOUS…rich, creamy, and the tortellini perfectly cooked. They brought out some bread rolls along with an oil and seasoning mixture for dipping. The bread is nice and warm but the oil mixture is too heavy on the garlic for me. The pasta was perfectly Al-dente and the sauce was very good and stuck well onto the noodles, love it when places serve pasta with a spoon for twirling. The meatballs were OK but seemed to lack seasoning, but the sausages were really good, loved the grill marks and flavor. Overall a good pasta dish with nice flavors and enough leftover for another meal. Very good food and wonderful service! Note: I saw some of the pizza's and a Calzone being delivered to other tables and they looked good.

    Unfortunately, I will never order pizza here again. Paper thin, 1/2 cup of grease on the top of the 16” pizza easy. Couldn’t eat it without a fork and plate. This is not NY style pizza, this is a pile of sauce and cheese on a pizza pan with absolutely no under carriage. The flavor was good if they could only figure out the rest. Pizza is my favorite food and we never leave a slice behind, but did tonight sadly. Service was good and place was busy, all the entrees on everyone’s table looked pretty good. Joes gives a lot back to the community and I wish I had a better review to write but this was my honest experience

    Our waiter was great. He was very outgoing and very professional. The complimentary garlic bread was nice looking coming out. But once I took a bit, it was dry as a pillow cushion. The garlic cheese bread was fantastic. The gourmet pizza was not what I expected.The spinach on it tasted very green as if it was frozen and thrown on there. I will never order that again. I also ordered an 18’ pepperoni and sausage pizza and it was ok. The pizzas were fresh but the taste just wasn’t there. We dined in and it was very tight in the restaraunt. You could hear just about everyone’s conversation all around you.

    Best pizza I’ve had! Recommend this place, I’ll definitely be back to try something else on the menu. Friendly staff and nice vibe.

  • 5/5 Jennifer H. 5 months ago on Google
    Came in with friends tonight. Seated quickly. Staff was great! Rolls were delicious, calamari was crispy and food was delicious. Small dining area, but the staff is great, and maneuvers with ease. Chicken parmesan was delicious! My husband had Shrimp a la Palermo 😋 so much food! Thank goodness for to go boxes! Now we have lunch for tomorrow too!

    Although I usually like Joe's, the pizza today was underwhelming. Ordered a large veggie (by mistake I meant to order a Supreme so that's not their fault). There was virtually no veggies on this pizza, and what veggies were looked like something from a frozen pizza. I expected large pieces of fresh veggies but got tiny pieces. I would definitely not spend $22 on a pizza like that again.

    If you love Italian food like I do, Joe's is the place to go. Delicious pasta! Don't recall the name of the dish i had but it was in the off the menus $10.95 list ..has pesto, broccoli and chicken. (Big portion came with rolls and a salad)Great attentive service as well.

    FANTASTIC! Seated/greeted quickly. Amazing food. Awesome service. Clean establishment. Glad we made the choice to hit this spot. Joe’s special pizza = AWESOME!

  • 3/5 Cullen P. 2 years ago on Google
    Originally dine in, then had to change plans and we took our food to go. The Stromboli was good but extremely oily. The bread didn't taste super fresh? The pasta had good flavor too. The waiters and waitresses didn't speak a lot of English and seemed very frustrated when trying to take our orders. Didnt come around and refill your glass.

    Be hungry! Fabulous Italian food and a great price! Small quaint restaurant with a great atmosphere. Small counter type bar for a drink and appetizers. Justine was a fabulous server. Great staff! A lot of food for the price. We're definitely going to make this a monthly favorite.
