Great Father's Day meal. We all had blackened Mahi-mahi and shrimp and all three of us enjoyed it. Service was prompt and friendly. Have always had a great meal at Big Joe's and will continue to be my choice when asked where I want to go eat. read more

This was a unique dining experience for us. The name and pictures on Yelp! give you a predetermined idea of a casual bar and grill. Def not the case... They are trying to make it 4 restaurant with a Chillis vibe. Everything screams quality (location, menu, prices, ambiance) until you see a person, and then you might as well be at Tijuana flats. The chicken was chewy, and seemed like it had been frozen and then pressured cooked. The crab cakes and brussel sprouts were excellent. The price on the menu was not what i was charged, and the server (who although nice, was in way over his head) blamed the computer, spoke to the manager, and then said... oh well... this is what it is. Don't waste your time please... they need to clean up their act. read more

The Ragou burger is exceptional!!! Best burger I've ever eaten. Oh and the Brussel sprouts!!! Amazing

Yesterday we were fortunate enough to experience a beautiful lunch . The food was amazing. The charcuterie board was absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend it. The sangria was spot on . Thank you Big Joes !! The Red Hat Bumblebees of the South will be back read more

Choose to eat at this place randomly while on a road trip and it did not disappointment! The service was great and the food was pretty good too. I had the Salmon with green beans and rice, it was seasoned well and potion size was great. I also think the prices are fair! read more

Where does one begin with Joe? The food was lovely, the service was incredible but the wine tasted like the water you soak your dishes in, the music reminded me of when my husband Glenn was in the hospital. Would definitely come back because I know what to expect now. 6/10 read more

was extremely disappointed to see my dining experience turned into a public Facebook post. If there was an issue with my visit, the professional thing to do would have been to address it privately instead of attempting to shame customers online. Publicly discussing guests and making assumptions about their financial situation is unprofessional and reflects poorly on the restaurant. Regardless of anyone's opinion about tipping, customers deserve respect and discretion. I hope management addresses this because no customer should have to worry about becoming the subject of a viral social media post after dining there. Professionalism and customer service should extend beyond the table. read more

They are back! Food is high end and the service to match. They have specials regularly which is nice. The drink menu is fairly decent. We will definitely be back for a dinner date. read more

Everything was amazing and I can't remember another time I've said this about any restaurant! This place has really evolved over the years. Everything is fresh and made to order by chefs that add some wonderful touches of their Middle Eastern cuisine to some entrees. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Don't forget the dessert, not the usual premade commercial desserts pulled out of the freezer. These are clearly and deliciously home made. To top it off, the staff is so wonderful and friendly, We'd come back just because of them. Finally, there is some wonderful art on the walls that was created by a former employee. We love their patio although it was too cold to sit out there for this visit. Everyone in our party is super excited to come back. read more

Everything was great! Food was delicious! The owner went above and beyond to make our group comfortable and happy! Cici did an amazing job serving us! She took care of all 21 of us and did an excellent job and never stopped smiling! I highly recommend Big Joe's! You won't be sorry. read more

So sad that Big Joes is once again changing the things that brings us there. Taco Tuesdays and Happy Hour prices are no longer a deal. Many of our favorite items are no longer on the menu. No Ahi tuna no Gyros no sandwiches. I hate it because the people there are so great, but we are going to have to find another place to hang out. Sad. read more

We loved this quaint home town bar/restaurant. Our waitress Brittany was very attentive and kept my water glass full. After being on the road all day this was just what we needed. My husband ordered the burger with onion rings and I had the handheld Cuban sandwich. There is a large selection of fries that you can choose from. Per Brittany's recommendation I chose the garlic Parmesan. I'd go back for the fries again! read more

As I previously stated, I am in love with Big Joe's! As I was in the area and hungry I decided to stop in. It was a beautiful day outside making the patio seating a special draw. Upon entering I was greeted with a warm smile and inviting welcome. I had a party of 2 and was able to be seated immediately. #LuckyUs As we were looking over the menu, we heard a happy cheerful greeting. To our delight we happened to be seated in Destiny's area again. Yasssssssssss!!! This added even more excitement to the visit. Guaranteed Good Food and GREAT Service. This time I decided to go with the Wings for my appetizer and a Grilled Chicken Salad as my entree. The wings were super meaty and well seasoned. Though I like mine extra extra crispy, these were well cooked and not soggy. The barbecue sauce was amazingggggggg. I'm talking package it and send me home with two kinds of amazing. I was very pleased with this dish. The salad was the King of the visit. The fresh greens, warm well seasoned chicken, and homemade dressing was an absolute win. I had no idea a salad could be this good. Furthermore, I don't even like olives but somehow in this salad they were a delight. Though the salad was amazing in its entirety, the dressing was the hidden gem of the dish. This dressing paired well with everything on the plate to the point of hunger satisfying bliss. Yet again, Big Joe's has delivered with Great Food. Great Service. And the addition of Great Memories! Thank you Destiny for the amazing service. Thank you to the kitchen staff for taking pride in every dish that is executed. This is my new happy place. LoL!!!! read more

This appeared on one of my searches - it apparently replaced Big Joe's at some point in the recent past. As there aren't a lot of good Italian choices in the Peachtree City area, we opted to give it a try. The location is in a series of connected plazas a few miles east of Newnan on Hwy 34. They have their own parking lot, but you could easily park in adjoining lots also. We were seated promptly (I think I made a reservation, though I'm not sure how much that mattered). The description of the menu is Italian - Creole. I'd probably opt for slightliy more of the Italian and mabye scaling back the Creole. My wife opted for a fish dish. I go the jambalaya. Both of us enjoyed our food. We split a salad, which was fine. I think they included complimentary bread. We liked it, but I'm not sure we'll become regulars. read more

The servers are always courteous, and the food has always been good every visit. Sitting in the dining rooms or under the covered patio, we have found the atmosphere friendly. read more

This place is amazing from the down home experience to the service. Our waitress was the most knowledgeable person and a pleasure to visit with. I'm from Oklahoma City we do not have seafood this fresh. Every time I come back to Georgia I will come to Big Joes awesome read more

I really liked the food! It's a quaint location. The service was excellent. They have a full bar and a great selection of menu items. I ordered with crab cakes with mashed potatoes and broccoli. Ask for extra sauce-it's delicious! read more

Great Experience! The food and service were outstanding. Highly recommend for family or office dinner.

I really was turned away a few months ago after receiving a completly raw burger from another location. But this time I gave it one more shot and was so beyond pleased with the customer service of this specific location the food came to us fast, there was the most kindest younger gentleman that took our order and got everything correct he even ran back inside to grab our ranches before I even saw I didn't have any,didn't have to ask for napkins or ketchup the food was just beyond wonderful as well, definitely will be back due to Jermiah!! read more

We've always had great appetizers, entrees and specials at Joe's. Nice atmosphere and good service. Convenient location too.

I have tried this restaurant on two different occasions and I must say... it is absolutely delicious. The service is also top tier. Our server's name was Destiny (Desi) both times we visited and she adds to the overall warmth of the restaurant. It gives you a laid back environment. The patio is my favorite place to eat. I had the Caesar salad with grilled chicken and it was amazing!!!! I also tried the lemon pepper wings. I swear to y'all the food was sooooo goodt. Oh and let's not talk about the bananalope drink. All I'm going to say is visit Big Joe's and ask for Desi's section because she was phenomenal!!! read more

The service was great. Even when it got busy other servers were pitching in and taking other tables to ensure that everyone was satisfied. The food was fantastic from the Salmon to the Steak Frites. The ambiance was a hint of fine dining but the atmosphere of a welcoming spirit. read more

A wonderful restaurant with delicious food and outstanding service. The veal piccata was excellent, and the hospitality from the staff was exceptional. However, the drinks are quite expensive. Overall, I would still recommend it. read more

So excited to find a quaint restaurant with excellent food, service and drinks! Our waitress was attentive and super nice and friendly. I had the blackened Mahi-mahi fish with shrimp top with a special sauce and vegetables. My husband had the blackened chicken Alfredo which again was excellent. Their items on the menu are not over priced. We will definitely be back! read more

Absolute gem in Newnan. The name makes you believe it's more of a bar type establishment with sports on and a couple of beers, burgers and wings on order. What you actually get is a fine dining experience with amazing service and fantastic food. The restaurant inside will give you the same type of upscale dining that you'd see in Buckhead/Roswell/etc but you can also dine at the bar or on the patio. We started off with stuffed mushrooms as the appetizer (amazing) then for our entree we had the crab cakes and shrimp Alfredo (we asked for chicken to be included in the pasta as well for an upcharge but it was worth it). The food was extremely good and very tasty. The chef also stopped by our table a few times to inquire how everything was which was pretty cool. Our waitress Chloe who was very attentive and personable suggested a new pistachio Cannoli dessert which was a great way to end our meal. We will be back for more. read more

Great place to visit in Newnan that is not a chain with great service! Jessica was out server and she was awesome!!!!!!! Attentive, personable , and gave us great background history on the restaurant. Wings wings wings! If you want to try a new place with great wings this is the place! The sweet jalapeño wings were delish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to go back to try the other flavors. We wanted a tasty lunch on a Saturday afternoon and this the spot! We ordered burgers and blackened catfish ! They also make a mean shirley temple for your kids or non drinkers and the beer is cold and fresh!!!! read more

The fish and pasta dish was surprisingly good! Our server was very nice. She was attentive to our needs.

Went to Joes for a work/client lunch as it's probably one of the better restaurants in the area. It was pretty good! We sat outside on Halloween day and the weather was perfect for it. Ordered one of their signature dishes, the Greek salad and added chicken for about $18. It was pretty good. The dressing wasn't too overpowering and I liked that. First time check ins on Yelp gets you 15% off your check, score! read more

Big Joe’s Grille - Greek salad with grilled chicken $18 - American Near Me - Newnan, Georgia

I came here for the first time today as it was recommended to me on Yelp. I had a great experience! I got the Caesar salad with grilled chicken as my meal, and it was a 10/10. Perfect amount of dressing, the lettuce was crisp, and the chicken was fresh and grilled to perfection. My husband got the fried catfish plate, and he said he absolutely loved it! We've tried a few different seafood restaurants around Newnan, and none of them have been impressive. So glad we found this place! The restaurant itself has both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to eat inside since it was hot outside. Inside it was quiet with nice background music, and they had a pretty wine display. Our server was very friendly and made sure our drinks never went empty. I can't wait to come back and try the chicken Alfredo! I also heard they have live music on Thursday nights fyi! read more

Went to the new restaurant today. Del Porto. Service wasn't that great but our food was amazing! My gf had the shrimp platter and I had the shrimp Alfredo! Both were made with fresh not frozen shrimp which were cooked to perfection! All good we will be back! read more

We had previously eaten here when it was Big Joe's and had good experiences. I made a reservation using their online reservation system for two people at 6:00 on Friday night. When we got there we were greeted by the hostess who attempted to seat us right at the front door. I asked if we could be seated elsewhere as the restaurant was empty. This clearly did not sit well with her. She said,"Well, where would you like to sit? She pointed to a table and said that was requested specifically so we could not have that table. She have us a choice of two tables near the restroom. I did not see what the big deal was as the place was still very empty, but apparently it was. She stated that we should have called her with a special request for seating. We were seated and waited about ten minutes before our server appeared. He didn't tell us about the specials until we asked and never brought us any bread. When the food came we ahead for bread and he apologized for not bringing it sooner. The food was excellent and the dessert was even better. The cappuccino was served nice and hot in a big cup. I just can't get past the hostess. First impressions are lasting ones. We will probably be back but it will be awhile. read more

Great service and food. Server went to get manager regarding Yelp offer and said they weren't associated with yelp but gave us this discount. read more

Hard for us to locate....even with gps. It's down around the steak and shake. Excellent service!! The staff was very friendly. We visited during a dining lull, so pretty much had the place to ourselves, except for regulars at the bar (or owners?). Once we ordered, our food was served very fast. Hubs and I ordered the spinach dip and split a pulled pork sandwich. The dip was okay, not alot of flavor and the cheese wasn't melted on top. I probably wouldn't recommend it. The pulled pork was really good, and filling for us to split. It was served with a jalapeno cole slaw, which added a nice kick as a side. Overall, not bad. read more

We have been going to this restaurant which was called Big Joe's for years now. We loved the ambience, the music and the food. The selections pre covid were even better!! They have now changed their name and their menu. Italian Creole? No lasagna or meatballs. Mostly pasta dishes that are astromical prices. Alot of fried food, very little seafood at all. They are trying to be upscale but the only thing upscale was the prices. We spent well over $150!. The couple before us spent well over $78.00! Sadly they made a big mistake tryiing to copy Beirut in PTC. I WILL say the service was great. God bless those who have to explain why you are paying $70.00 for pasta. This will not go over well in Newnan. Sad to say...no more for us. Our back porch is just as cozy and both of us are great cooks. Nothing like home cooking. Very sad. Good bye Big Joe. RIP read more

We had a Christmas party here. The food was very good. Our server was sweet as pie and much appreciated. Sadly, they allow smoking inside the fully enclosed patio. Very unappetizing Unfortunately, they cannot accommodate very large groups in doors, or we would have chosen that option to avoid the second-hand stink. read more

What a local treasure! We were headed down 85S just south of ATL looking for a nice lunch and happened by. We had menu recommendations from the server (who knew everything about the place!) and they were spot on. Hummus was amazing served with warm grilled pita and crudité Mediterranean soup! Delish Cuban sandwich was nice surprise good and we split it. Fries were normal. Nothing to brag about but hot and lightly salted. Service was perfect. We would definitely go back when in the area read more

We really enjoyed the food, service and drinks. Only down side is it just feels a bit dated overall inside. Calamari is worth going back for

This place was very surprising, especially the menu. It was a little bit more upscale than I was anticipating, but we thoroughly enjoyed everything the service and the food I highly recommend this place. We'll be back. read more

I had never been to Big Joes, but a friend mentioned meeting me for dinner here. I checked the menu, and it had foods that you don't see in many restaurants. The food was excellent. The calamari was the best I've ever had. The sauce that comes with it is slightly tangy, but tastes great with it. I forgot to take a photo of my meal, but I got the salmon with a lemon butter sauce, mashed potatoes, and seasonal vegetables. Everything was hot and tasted wonderful. Crème brûlée is one of my favorite desserts, but it is rare to see it on a menu. It was also wonderful. I will definitely be eating here again. read more

Food was great, however it seems like our food had an issue in the kitchen that delayed it. Service was great. So impressed! The employees were all so friendly. Drinks were... well, next time I will stick with a glass of wine instead of a cocktail. Can't wait to go back and try more items. read more
