OH EM GEE! The food was exquisite and the vibe of the whole place just felt right. The Blackened Chicken salad was to die for. Keke, our waitress, was amazing and made us feel like we were at home. Definitely coming back if we are in the area. 10/10
What an awesome bar and restaurant. The drinks were made clean and beautiful. Great drinks!! Brienna is a very kind! She was our waitress. She was attentive. Fast and worked like a bumble bee with joy on her shoulder. Thanks so much for our best first experience at Joe's on jolly!
This is our 2nd time coming to this restaurant. We arrived with a large group (15+) and they had space for us, we're gracious about it and all our food was correct and it's very tasty, made fresh with great scratch flavors. Our teenagers enjoyed foosball table and pool table while a singer was on the back patio. Hip place, not overcrowded, just perfect for our group and what we were looking for. Thanks for a nice night out!
Stopped in for a late dinner and we were seated right away on a Friday night. The place was busy but not crowded. Our waitress was very good and attentive. We had the Black and Bleu burger with a GF bun and spicy tots and a poke bowl. Both dishes were very good! I would not get the tots again as they were quite spicy, the waitress did warn me, so my fault and while I like spice these were a bit much. We didn't get drinks but some of them looked really good.
First time in. Had some tacos which were tasty. The spinach dip was ok, a bit expensive at $15. Our server was friendly and we were greeted quickly. I would try this restaurant again.
First timers tonight and food waa DELICIOUS! We will be back again! Highly recommend the Shroom Wagyu Burger! Our waiter was fabulous & needs a raise! We will be back!
I love their olive burgers, truffle fries w/ garlic aoli. The drink I had was one of their December drinks. And as always the appetizers were amazing. Very friendly service from all the staff.
The Food presentation was great! Kids pizza was great! Olive burger I asked for MR, was well well done. Son got the bone in wings, great seasoning, but wayyyy over cooked and dry. Wife’s shrimp tacos looked really pretty, but she said had almost no flavor. Service was absolutely amazing! Atmosphere was also amazing! Live music was great! Overall great! Rome was it, amazing service.
They accommodated a large group with an infant instantly for lunch on a weekday (December 31st). The server was kind and offered recommendations. She was great with the kids who wanted to order themselves. Everyone enjoyed their food. I got the avocado tacos and my husband the spicy burger. We both thought they were good. The kids also loved checking out the arcade area while we waited for our food.
I was in Okemos Michigan for a work meeting and looked around for some food places before I took the trip home and I found this gem. It's a fairly new place with an open atmosphere, a nice bar area and plenty of seating inside and outside. I sat at the bar and ordered a drink and a couple of appetizers. Joe's Rum Punch, bang bang shrimp, and cheese curds. The cheese curds were very well done. The Wisconsin cheddar paired with the crispy, flavorful coating made for a good combination. I enjoyed these but knew I would have to take some home. The bang bang shrimp was fantastic and I finished all of the appetizer. The presentation was what did it. The sauce and slaw were laid down first on the plate and then the shrimp on top. This allowed me to apply the perfect amounts of sauce to each of the shrimp instead of getting too much sauce on the shrimp and making everything soggy. I recommend this place and how I have a chance to cover back and try some entree's.
