    Restaurant interior
    Dari P.

    This restaurant is located on the corner of 2 Main Streets. The music playing is classic rock, and all the songs are good ones. You order at the counter. Dann was working there and was very friendly and helpful. I ordered a chicken sandwich and a drink. There is a drink machine so you can get anything you want. I got Coke Zero of course. I got chicken and cheddar cheese and lettuce and tomato and a bit of mayo on a bun. It was served hot off the grill and very tasty. It was also very filling and pretty healthy because it wasn't fried.

    Stuff on the wall!

    I had the prime tri tip with baked beans and Cole slaw as my sides! Their tri tip is fantastic! I chose the 12oz instead of the 8 oz! Look at the size of this! Food is very very good! Service fast and friendly! Ambience is comfortable with jazz music playing today! TVs all around so there is always something interesting to watch! Eat here if you love bar be que!

    The beans were outstanding!

    Great food and the price for the BBQ is reasonable!! Really enjoyed the pulled pork. So glad to see a familiar face, Juan!!

    I have enjoyed almost everything that I have tried here. Their Nashville hot chicken is delicious but it is spicy. Even the mild is spicy. They also have crinkle cut fries which is always a plus in my book. I recently tried their hand dipped corn dog. It was good but I wish it was a little more crispy on the outside. My family really likes their burgers but I have only tried a bite of theirs and it was pretty good. They serve bbq now so I would like to try that next. Service here is always nice and friendly.

    Moved to the area a few months ago and have frequented this establishment, my dad recommended JS and I'm glad he did! So far everything I've had here I've enjoyed. Service here is great, prompt, kind folks behind the counter. I've yet to try to the bbq but it's on my list! The bbq bacon cheese burger is wild it has coleslaw bacon, bbq sauce & and onion rings. I had it after an 18 mile run not long ago, best thing I ever had in my life. With a mug of root beer on the side. *chefs kiss* I came back 2 days later for the burger, it was memorable. The corn dog here is tasty! The hot chicken sandwich will win me over every time. Made to order, fresh ingredients. The crinkle cut chili cheese fries are a big fat YES. The custard sundaes are a slice of haven, or should I say pie because it's loaded with layers of creamy custard, pie filling, and pie crust pieces. Truly delightful! Anyway, come eat here! The games are always on, the place is well maintained, the service is good, overall a good spot to visit.

    If you want a good old American spot, Joes Schmoes is for you. From hot dogs to chili cheese burgers and spicy chicken sandwiches, nothing will disappoint. If you like fries on the crispy end, ask for crinkle cut, there are a lot of potato options from fries to tots so be sure you check it out. Service is friendly and quick, food is brought to your table. seating is accommodating for 2-8 people but consider this a place to sit down for a quick bite during your lunch break. Edit- Took some coworkers back today, everyone loved their food, unfortunately my coworker's spicy sandwich (Cluckin Hot) was not spicy at all but he still really enjoyed it.

    Found this little Cypress gem after a quick search for "good hamburger near me." I knew it was a place you order at the counter and did not expect it to be as big and cute as it is. You walk into the area with the ordering counter, and there are large menus on the wall behind the registers. They were super friendly and pretty quick. Put in your order and you'll get a number for your table. They'll bring your food out when it's ready. If to the side is a dining room with several TV's playing sports with some banquettes and booths. Beyond that is another dining room with some awesome Nashville themed decor. There is exposed brick, reclaimed wood, and garage door windows. This place has a big menu with burgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, corndogs, and the list goes on. The kicker is that they are cheap!!! A cheeseburger is only $6.95, or $12.95 for a combo. We ordered three cheeseburgers combos, two with fries and one with house made potato chips. We also got a corndog with coleslaw. None were earth shattering, but they were good, especially for the price. Seeing that this place is literally around the corner from my father in laws house, I can see us returning often.

    They glow up is real at Joes. The decor and all the tvs make it feel so cozy. The food was already good and now they have bbq stuff to amp it up! Sooo good. Dont walk to fast past the specials out front. Thank you for a great food and being consistent!

    It's 'cause my body doesn't stop me  Reese's Peanut Butter Concrete from #JoeSchmoes
    Mojo S.

    Honestly, I was all prepared to give this joint a 3. The chili cheese dog combo, while above average, wasn't super impressive. The chili was a little thin, which I don't mind if it isn't super chunky, but this one felt more like sloppy joe sauce rather than a proper chili. Also, the flavor wasn't really punching me in the face either. The bun was rather flimsy and fell apart after two bites. The hot dog itself was alright and had a proper snap and good flavor all the way to the last bite. Another grievance I had was my meal almost took 20 minutes to get to me after ordering, even though the joint wasn't overly busy and my order was a super small and easy one compared to some of the larger parties present. The staff was nice enough and the space was pretty ample for an establishment of this size. The ambiance was good for sure. It was just the little things that kept me from saying this place was worth the forty minute drive out. I think the item that saved this food joint from a worse rating was the concrete (mixer). I've been a fan of the sweet treat since my first trip to Minnesota and Culver's all those years ago. Indeed, a big reason I wanted to come to Joe Schmoe's was their concretes are so highly regarded it seems. My Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Concrete was sublime. Thick, rich, creamy, big chonky bits of the peanut butter cups, and just a divine mess of sweetness--I couldn't have asked for a better treat to cap off this meal. I would have this concrete a dozen more times, a thousand more times even. It was why the gods bestowed frozen custard upon us lowly mortals in the first place. It was our destiny to finally achieve this level of dessert/snack satisfaction. And if we have to get through a perfectly average meal to get to this ultimate reward, then so be it.

    What kind of oil do you fry your French fries in?

    All french fries, tater tot’s, potato chips, onion rings are all cooked in canola oil. The Nashville fried chicken is fried in peanut oil.

    Did this place change ownership or management? Or maybe new chef's? The girl working denied my accusations today after having a decent meal here 4 years later.

This place is fantastic for when you want great food at decent prices for what you get. They have a ton of choices from lunch, sandwiches, to dinner options. Plates to à la carte, Thai teas, boba, and smoothies. They have a beverage cooler with a ton of options as well as beer. The decor is very simple, signage is super easy to ready and understand. You can also select one of the special limited seasonal options too which I will certainly be back for. I ordered the classic steamed snap Chicago dog, fries and a Thai Tea. Service was great, very friendly and helpful. Food came out super fast and fresh. If you're looking for a great place to sit down, relax and have a great hot dog. This is a place to try out. You definitely won't regret it.

Now mind you that's over the Brazilian Steak House and Wood Ranch I had offered. We hadn't been to Mustards in (shut) 15 years? I was worried the quality was still there. I was! And boy did they grow up. They've blown out the menu the inclusion plethora of item other than hot dogs! The BBQ ribs I had were more than acceptable. Not Wood Ranch or Sweet Lou's but enjoyable! My son said his Chicago Dogs were still second to none and my wife got a hamburger that she claims was 'OK', and my daughter in law got a chicken sandwich she really liked. So overall it was a success. You can't rate the service because there is none. You order at a window, pick it up when ready from said window, and clean up after yourself ... unless you're a jerk. I do recommend them still. New owners clearly (apparently Asian) but the were very sweet and friendly. Lots of smiles.

That's how good they are. People can't get enought! I can't wait until their brick and mortar location down the street in Cypress opens! The OG burrito is so delicious. It's really huge, I can eat only half at a time. The crunch of the tator tots, the smokiness of the portuguese sausage, the sauce and the ooziness of the cheese...you top it off with their green salsa that gives it a kick and it is just DIVINE. Never had a better breakfast burrito. I've had A LOT. Go try it. You won't regret it.

    I really wanted to like LJ's Lil' Cafe, but unfortunately it was a disappointing experience for me…read more First, it can be a little hard to find. It's actually located outside the Home Depot, between the two main entrances, so keep an eye out for the small walk-up window. Since it was our first time here, we asked what they recommended and were told to try the OG Burrito, which comes with eggs, tater tots, Portuguese/Hawaiian sausage, bacon, mixed cheese, and LJ's sauce. It sounded really good on paper. Unfortunately, once I started eating it, I found the burrito surprisingly bland considering everything that was inside. They did give us sauces on the side, but I wasn't a big fan of those either and they didn't really improve the burrito for me. I actually ended up not finishing it, which is pretty unusual for me with a breakfast burrito. The other issue was the price. At $15.99, I expected something that really stood out, especially with so many great breakfast burrito options around Southern California. Nothing was necessarily terrible, and the people working there were helpful when we asked what to order, but overall the food was just mid for me and overpriced for what I got. I left disappointed and probably wouldn't order the OG Burrito again.
