    It is not a bad place to eat, but there are better places. I ordered the three meat platter and was disappointed when they told me they did not have cornbread. For some reason I feel BBQ and cornbread go together. The sausage was surprisingly good and moist, the rips had a nice juicy texture, the brisket was a little dry for my taste. They had two types of BBQ sauces nothing too spicy, I really miss the cornbread.

    Location from the outside looks great. Very appealing. Inside is weird. Looks like they are in the middle of construction and still decided to open. Or they may be expanding. Walked in and sat down. No menus. Girl said we had to look at the wall as we came in . But guy at counter said to just sit down. So I'm guessing we had to order at counter and then sit down. But there was no no way we would have known that. So when I asked the lady who was taking our order what they had. We were met with a blank look. We ended up ordering rack of ribs ( and price was based on how many bones) because waitress said that's how they priced it when i asked how much. Side of Mac and cheese (because I guess the sides are order separately? ) Even tho I asked for it as a platter. We also ordered brisket and fries. Sides came out 1st We were not impressed Mac was cooked pasta then almost like mozzarella and maybe sprinkled with cheddar. So bland. My kids didn't even eat it. Fries were fries. Brisket was cooked perfectly but had no taste. Ribs were tasty and fell off the bones . A bit dry but maybe, it was a dry rub. But we just added some of the house bbq sauce they had on the table. If it wasn't for the meats this place would have sucked. Maybe this place is going through different ownerships As the BBQ meats is what was the original place And new owners are now adding items to menu that just don't go. Couldn't quite tell what the restaurant was going for. Outside said BBQ inside said they had no idea. Not kitchen staff. But the wait staff and counter staff just gave off vibes they've never worked at a restaurant. ( this was also from observation of them Interacting with patrons ,while we ate our own food) Bathrooms and other parts of location looked all mismatched and no professional. Probably will never go back.

    The food is amazing, just like home cooking. The wood burning grill make the best flavor of brisket. Mr. T was my server, he is very nice and has a great personality. Love this place and would highly recommend to others that enjoy good BBQ.

    1st time in. Wanted to see if it was like the BBQ I grew up on in Oklahoma and Texas. Had the brisket and collard greens. They used a seasoning ID never had before on the greens. I actually liked it but was unexpected and not like what I've had before. Brisket was very tender. Could eat it without teeth. Very friendly staff. Very attentive and took care of me. 2 thumbs 👍🏽 👍🏽up in the customer service department. Usually that is very lacking down here.

    This place is OHHH so yummy! The brisket was moist, fries were fresh out the fried but not oily, Mac and cheese is YES baked & with so much flavor! Wings were spot on with that amazing wood fire taste. The burger was also great! The real deal is the orange bbq sauce they use! I’d buy 10 bottles if they sold it! Would highly recommend & come back. We loved our server TERRY! he shows me all the wines, and was very attentive with a friendly smile. Along with the other workers they always checked up on us to make sure we were great! YES YES YES

    The food here was amazing. The brisket wasn't dry and the fat on the brisket tasted just as good as the actual meat. The collard greens were in salty and perfectly balanced the sausage was great well cooked and it had that crunch on the outer shell. The pulled pork wasn't dry and the best thing I can say about this place is not only the food is the staff. The manager Ziyad was amazing. She even gave me some mac and cheese to try and I'm letting you guys know right now you need to try the mac and cheese.

    I wanted to try this place for awhile, but honestly didn't think they might make the part. My mom and I went there and we both was surprised on how good this place was the macaroni and cheese on point (usually I don't like restaurants mac/cheese ) the collars greens my mom said it felt like she made them or my grandmother ..overall good experience and don't want to leave out the customers service the husband and wife very friendly and didn't hesitate to answer our questions just plain good hospitality which that counts now a days...

    Awesome food! Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Place was very clean and well organized. The menu keeps it simple. Bbq sauces were some of the best I have ever had and so were the ribs. Place is a win. Recommend and would go again! Terry, thanks for taking such great care of us, we appreciate you

    Nice ambience but that’s about it. Definitely the driest brisket and chicken on the east coast. Extremely disappointed. This is NOT Texas BBQ- this is not Jamaican style food- nor is it good Florida Bbq (which is a thing) . Collards greens were flavorless and watery. They have a great concept but without good food, there is no restaurant. Wouldn’t recommend food but beautiful vibe maybe for just drinks (didn’t have a drink) and location.

    I ordered the ribs and Mac n cheese. My wife ordered the collard greens and buffalo wings. It was very disappointing my ribs was extremely dry the Mac and cheese was disgusting. My wife's wings tasted like rubber and the collard greens was like soup. I'm a chef and I really wish people that don't know anything about cooking would please stop cooking and stick to whatever you're good at because ribs or cooking period is not it!!!! However my wife's drink was delicious my server Terry was horrible didn't check on us the bartender did more work than him. I have never been this dissatisfied in a restaurant ever. They didn't bring us any bbq sauce for the dry azz ribs. Sorry but I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy!!!!

    I had a awesome experience and will definitely be back here's the full rundown. 1st of the service was amazing it wasn't packed so we found our own seats after my girl came back from the restroom which she says was very clean our very nice waitress brought our menus and ice cold water. About 5 minutes later she came back we ordered our food. Now let's talk about the food I ordered the 6 wings that include 1 side I added a side I chose Mac and cheese and collard greens(pics below). Wings was 5/5 Mac and cheese 2.5/5 collard greens 4/5

    Joe's took over the Jamaican food place behind it and it's the best Jamaican food in town. It's located behind Joe's. You have to park at the 7-eleven to get to it. I usually get the Jerk Pork or Chicken, and i get the oxtail or jerk sauce on top of the rice n peas(peas is actually beans in Jamaican). Tastes great :)

    Bad experience with poor food and zero service. I have loved this place and have been coming jere for 3 years. I used to recommend it to friends. It seems to go through new owners quickly. This time they say they expanded the kitchen, it looks a mess and not really expanded probably just trying to keep all the flies outside that have plagues that side and diners for a while. I ordered the usual 3 meat combo Ribs, Pulled pork, Brisket, & Fries with an unsweet tea. I had a taste of all before the Chef came by and gave me a thumbs up. I said look I have to he honest the ribs usually are juicy and fall off the bone and melt in my mouth, using my fork to show him the burnt hard end of two ribs and a big bone that was hard and crusty, The pulled pork had no flavor except water so I asked if it was old from the line or reheated? to which he shook his head no, The brisket was a nice slab except it was 70% fat somome needs to watch a few tick tok or you tube shows on how to trim a brisket for the smoker, it was terribly and the good old Joes smoke flavor that could lure you to turn in from Federal Highway was weak at best. The fries were the same as always. Now, I worked in the kitchens for year in my college days, you’r only as good as the last meal served, so I feel like feedback good or bad is helpful. You would think he would have owned it or at least offered to go get a new set up that was his best work to be proud of, But, he just walked on by wispered something in the young waitress ear and slunk back into the new expanded kitchen. The owner may have been the bartender an older genteman that was oblivious to the operation like a family walking up to the old doors amd turning around and leaving. The new bar now dominates the room and had two ladies drinking there while on facetime with somome that seemed to hold his attention. The video juke box played a mix of pop amd country music randomly. Other diners walked in sat and had the most impressive thing I saw all night an Ice Cold beer mug! Sad to see a good place gone bad. With Shenanigans having all the same items always on point and a fun bar sceen, as well as well establisjed Tarks and a ton of other reataurant & faster food options within the neighborhood they really need to focus on quality. Best of luck.

    This was my first time checking out Joe's and it will definitely not be my last. The ribs, brisket and Mac were excellent! Thanks for serving awesome BBQ!!!

  • 1/5 Miguel M. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here to eat on a Thursday at 12:30 pm and their door was closed. Online it states as open but it was definitely closed. After leaving I did someone go in through a side door. Maybe thats a secret entry or something. If that was another door to the inside of the restaurant they should definitely leave a note on their front door to “use other door”. What a waste of time.

    Server(s) were not friendly, mac and cheese was at least a day old. The sandwich was 4/10 I tried both the pulled pork and brisket. The bun was great the meat was MID. The bbq sauce wasn’t good, the spicy bbq was Buffalo and then the Carolina Gold was very good though. The fries were also delicious as well. We asked for pickles and were given 9 slices. The cornbread texture was perfect and it tasted like Angel food cake. They brought over some bites of chocolate cake which were also very unsatisfactory but it was a nice gesture. Unexpected with the service.

    I have eaten the food here several times. And it’s always been perfect. It just took me some time to write this. I’ve order to go, I have ordered on the phone, and I have dined-in. Regardless of how I received my food, service was always professional, my orders were accurate, and my food was delicious. This encounter, I just ordered the 2 meat platter with double ribs and fries. Always with their bbq sauce, their Carolina bbq sauce, and their buffalo sauce. All delicious. I’ll review all items I’ve had at Joe’s. The ribs are smoked to perfection, always juicy, well seasoned, come right off the bone but they hold their shape. Amazing technique every time. Their pulled pork is also great. The brisket is always juicy and I like a fair amount of fat with mine. The fries are always fresh and crispy. Coleslaw is perfect. Overall I strongly recommend Joe’s for amazing bbq meat and sides.

    I hope whoever runs this place sees this. At most restaurants pork is a little (like 5-10%) cheaper than beef. At this place the 1/2 pound pork is $8.99 and the 1/2 pound beef is $22.00 . That's way too big of a difference. The difference between the pork platter and the beef platter is more reasonable but the 1/2 pound difference is just crazy.

    It's been a while since we've had great service and a great meal. Gina made the best Jack and ginger I've had in a while and Terry was a truly amazing person. The food was on point, definitely try the ribs, they were delicious and falling off the bone. Will definitely be back

    Almost empty inside. We were seated with a menu for 3 people. 3 servers past by for minutes till I finally got to ask for one more menu The people behind us ordered as we checked out the menu. We ordered and the wait began. Ordering brisket and the jambalaya. Neither dish is being prepared to order as brisket will take hours. I was a certified bbq for over 20 years with the FL bbq association. The table behind us got the food they ordered moments before and we waited. For food that is basically just being plated, it was an extraordinary long wait. No one came to see if we needed any additional drinks or refills. My glass sat empty as they strolled by til I grabbed one for a refill. A server asked how we were and I said just waiting. The people behind us finished and paid before we had our food Finally it came. The brisket plate had one thick slice of meat. Nice smoke right good flavor but a little tough. The Mac n cheese side was generous and tasty. Not the mushy cheese sauce slavered type. The collards were excellent. The jambalaya as the pic showed arrived on a skillet. Odd presentation. Half of it with a salad making it even less impressive. The portion was minimal with more sausage than the stated chicken or brisket. In front theres a sign additional parking in rear. It appears the now table covered Federal highway facing front formerly was a parking area. They just never removed the sign. Parking in rear if busy time is limited

    Tender and delicious BBQ, I got ribs, wings and the two meats plate with collard greens. They need to work on the plate presentation but taste is great!

  • 2/5 Shanee 2 years ago on Google
    So disappointed in this BBQ. I will say as a positive, the meat is cooked rather well and has a good smoked taste. Perfectly cook but… Absolutely no salt, no flavor! You need some kind of salt and pepper. My meat was completely unseasoned. All of the bbq sauces were not good, way too much vinegar. It ruined the wings we ordered which had a funny taste. The potato salad was also so disgusting. It has a very raunchy smell and it did not taste better. I’m disappointed I spent my money and the food flavor was underwhelming.

  • 1/5 Savannah C. 2 years ago on Google
    Not impressed to be honest. Brisket was dry and flavorless other than being oversmoked. Clearly smoked too fast as can be seen by the shallow smoke ring and charred, dry exterior shell on the meat. Ribs were tender but very plain, no flavor. Pulled pork, also plain and flavorless. Nothing special about the sides except the "beans" were especially atrocious. It looks like chopped leftovers, thrown into some broth base with a few beans sprinkled in.

    Tanya and Trent & Ziyad, Terry, were phenomenal and customer service was cool. He was pleasant and they gave me good conversation. I learned about their history personally and professionally. The food smelled great, looked great and tasted even better. I like the diversity. Guess what Joe is real and he has a construction company. So you can get a building food i. Your belly.
