Over five years ago, I gave Joe's a chance, only to come away unimpressed. Five years is enough…read moretime to let the disappointment fade and to give them a fresh chance, right? As the name suggests, this is still an operation focused on takeaway dining, though there are some tables available on the sidewalk outside. I'd end up taking my food home on this trip though. Once again I decided to sample the Chicago-style hot dogs offered here. And there have been improvements since my first visit. The product now comes on an actual poppy seed bun, as it should. I don't think the bun was steamed though and that hurts the texture. The hot dog itself had a good snap and taste, and the through-the-garden toppings were loaded well onto the bun. Something's still missing about the overall taste though, as these simply don't measure up to other Chicago-style hot dogs I've had -- including many far away from Chicago. The build of the sandwich looks closer to being correct than it did five years ago, but the flavors are still wrong, and I wish they'd work to figure out what it is they're missing. I placed my order on site rather than calling it in, and the young lady at the counter was pleasant. It took a little longer than I'd expected for the kitchen to prepare my order; maybe they just don't get many requests for the Windy City dog and they're just not well versed in putting it together? This latest experience leaves me scoring Joe's somewhere between two and three stars, and though the food was better than last time I still lean towards the lower side of that range. Maybe their more Carolina-themed food would be better and result in a higher rating, but there are already plenty of places I can go locally for a hot dog fixed "our way," many of which would be at a more competitive price point and with better options for drinks and seating. I wanted to try Joe's because of the hot dog options they have that aren't widely represented elsewhere in this area, and in those respects I still can't find much to love here.

The only difficult task when getting food from Joe's Take-out is deciding what to order. The Beef…read moreBrisket (platter or sandwich) is as good as any in the area , and far better than most. It is flavorful and tender, and the sauce takes it over the top. There burgers are first rate (go for the Smash Burger), as are the hot dogs, no matter how you top them off. I especially like the Chili Dog with mustard and onion, the Chicago style dog, and a simple dog with mustard and kraut! The Ribs are very nice, tender and loaded with flavor. There are plenty of tasty sides, and I love the Street Corn, the Collards, the Fried Okra, and Mac & Cheese. Joe's is the type of locally owned restaurant that I love to support. The food and service are first rate. Because it has little street visibility, it's location, is small with no inside seating, and is take out, a number of folks will never give this place a visit, and that's a shame. The burger here is as good as those at Alex's, Bobo's, Mr BBQ, and Dairi-o. The hot dogs are as good as those at Dairi-o, Mr BBQ, and Kermit's, and very close to those at PB's. The Beef Brisket is as good as any in the area, and far better than the vast majority. I highly recommend and hope you will visit.

The menu is extensive with lots to choose, from breakfast to Mexican, or seafood to burgers. I wanted to go with a burger but found they were frozen patties. So I decided to go with fried shrimp and hot chips. The shrimp plate had tons of shrimp that were golden brown and tasty. However the hot chips were overly thin which I thought would be good but they ended up absorbing a ton of grease flavor. They weren't seasoned either. My daughter got the ACP which she said was pretty tasty and my son got a child's spaghetti with meat sauce. I tried it and it was pretty good. Prices were fair, and service was nice.

Biscuits were tender and the gravy creamy and delicious. My burger, although a bit messy as you'd expect was delicious as well with all the toppings maintaining their taste and not getting muddled with their brethren. The pimento cheese was creamy and distinct. Great lunch and friendly service is a trademark here. Come and see for yourself.

I first ate here in late 1992 or 1993, but had not visited this spot in years. This place remains pretty much unchanged, just more worn, more dated inside and out. The panel walls are decorated with pictures, sayings, a variety of bric-a- brac. Due to the acoustics this is a conversation laden environment, voices carrying a good distance, some more irritating than others. The restaurant was half filled, mostly seasoned citizens, solo and in pairs. Once seated, my waitress said - What can I get you to drink, Hun? I knew then I was in a small bit of the Southern part of restaurant heaven. I ordered the Fried Pork Chops (you get 2) with sides of Pintos ( topped with chopped, white onion, of course) and Fried Squash. My meal was soon on the table, nicely plated and very well sized. The pork chops were very large, biggest I've seen except for those at the Snappy Lunch in Mt Airy. The were just as I like them, thin, moist, bone-in, and fork tender. I especially enjoyed the very flavorful meat closest to the bone - gnawing on the bone is not only allowed but encouraged here! The Fried Squash, though not fresh, was loaded with flavor and very tender. The pintos were equally tasty, though a bit soupy, thickened some by the abundant onion. This was a typical Southern diner lunch, nothing exotic or particularly healthy, but exactly what I was looking for today. Will be back to try some more of the menu, typically Southern fare dotted with a few Greek choices (former owner was Greek), some pasta dishes, and a varied and attractive selection of burgers and sandwiches - the Texas Burger (8 oz patty on Texas Toast, dressed as you choose) is tempting. The owners are slated to open a second location in Lexington on NC Hwy 8, just off US 40, later this year, in a spot that previously housed Speedy Lohr's BBQ, among others.
