The outside is called Joe's Diner and it's the same name used in Google Maps. We came here because the other trendy breakfast spots had one hour wait times in downtown. The inside is nicely decorated and servers were attentive but it took about 30 minutes to get breakfast?? When the food came out, I was impressed by the quality and everything was piping hot, so the kitchen does well but they run slow. read more

We got there around 7am and just hand full of people where there. The service was quick and friendly. The ambiance is of an old dinner, but with good coffee! We ordered: - corn beef hash with eggs over easy. Yum! It was delish, not greasy and the hash browns was crispy with small onions. - sausage & egg sandwich this too was yummy! the sausage was not too salty. The eggs cooked perfect Cute place, good food, nice service, and GOOD COFFEE will come back again! read more

This placed look so cool when we walked in. After that it was all downhill. Everyone's order came out .... Except my turkey club. It was forgotten. Twice .... and didn't come out until my family was done eating. Then it came out wrong. Was made with extra items not on the menu that I don't eat Service was also not very friendly. I would not come back again. read more

My boyfriend and I have been coming to Joe's Griddle and Grill every Thursday for 7 1/2 years. (Our date night) We go to share a grilled cheese sandwich and Vegetable Soup. Bowls each. The servers know what we want and put the order in when they see us walk in. Always a great place to go. ( We also go there for Thanksgiving dinner. Cheaper than C. Barrel 1/4 mile away). read more

Always liked the place well enough. Basic diner fare. Left today because, while modestly busy but no line or anything, after 16 minutes no server had acknowledged our presence. One party that had menus when we walked in got their order taken after we'd been there 10 minutes. Another party that had menus when we got there got their order taken a minute or two later. And another party that came in after us had gotten menus was getting their order taken while we were leaving to go elsewhere. read more

My husband and I have been here for three different meals. My breakfast favorite was the sausage gravy over biscuits. The chef salad was also excellent. I enjoyed the diner atmosphere and our servers were attentive and friendly. read more

Food - I had breakfast and it was fast , hot and good . Service - two lovely servers offering beautiful smiles as I walked in. My server was nice and made a gloomy day a lot better . Ambiance - perfect. It's a diner in a truck stop. 5 stars for me! read more

Nice stop off the interstate...It's like an old school diner...Got a steak sub and it was tasty...The steak was shaved thin and very tender...Just about melted in my mouth really...The sub roll was fresh and good as well...I thought the onion rings were super....The chocolate meringue pie was good but I think I'll try the lemon meringue next time. read more

Whew. Worst dinner ever. Stayed locally for the evening and was excited for a local diner as opposed to fast food. Philly cheesesteak omelet sloppy but flavorful. The biscuits and gravy was large and pretty good. Everything else HORRIBLE. The Mac and cheese amounted to some dried macaroni that must've been scraped off the side of a dish. Literally two bites worth. The side of hashbrowns was literally two bites as well. No exaggeration. The fried shrimp tasted fried twice. They were out of cocktail sauce, and there were no hush puppies, that were supposed to come with it. The chicken nuggets were hard as a rock. Go to Wendy's. Go to Arby's. Go to Bojangles. Do not go to Joe's. read more

I've stopped at Joe's Sabout 8-10 times over the past number of years. Classic diner attached to truck stop right off the highway. Decor is what you'd expect from an old school diner, fun and cute wall decor. Service is always quick and friendly, see the same faces that are usually smiling! Diner food is a fondness of mine, and Joe's has never dissapointed. This last visit, I had the chili (good!) and the grilled cheese with bacon (YUM!). This is a "don't miss" in my book, and I'm sure to visit again! read more

In case you didn't know, Joe's is a truck stop. The servers are good, the coffee is good but the food is over priced with not much flavor.

Worst food and service EVER! Waited about 15 minutes for drinks and an hour and a half for disgusting food! Eggs weren't done,strawberry topping was rubbery- seriously RUBBERY. Got cheap plastic silverware. I went to the counter to get napkins and actual forks. Had to ask for everything more than once. Took 15 minutes after actually getting drinks to get chocolate milk. Had to retrieve napkins, sweet n low, salt and pepper and ketchup ourselves. Asked 3 times. One star is very generous! Literally disgusting! Eat there at your own risk! read more

Never eat here! My husband just ordered me a burger and someone please tell me why there's macaroni and cheese inside of my burger with cold fries !!! There were minor incidents before that I kept over looking,But this was the last straw! The last time we ordered our food 10 min. Before we got there. When my husband went to pick up the order, the same woman who answered the phone and took our order said that we never placed an order. I will NEVER eat at this place again! The picture I'm adding is after scrapping the Mac and cheese off to attempt to eat this shit before my 10 hr drive back home. I used to like eating here,but it's just been getting worse and worse. read more

Well I don't know about the majority of these posts. Maybe people making things up. Been here many times and the food is usually good as well as really good service. I guess the old Southside diner was a little better than Joe's but near as much as most of these posts are making it out to be. Attention General public, please realize this is a truckstop diner so If you hate us drivers, or are expecting a five star meal then go elsewhere. read more

I love drive up diners and diner food so my big and I decided to come here. It's a quiet local place with 24/7 breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I got the chocolate milkshake, chicken and waffles, and hashbrowns. The milkshake was creamy and sweet but the food was kind of dry. The chicken was a bit overcooked and so were the hashbrowns. The service and price however ere good and they even paid for my friends meal because they don't take flex anymore. Definitely a cute joint and worth the visit. read more

I do not recommend eating here... Service is garbage and food is way to over priced... up charging because this is a truck stop.. also called 6 times to place a carry out order and no one answered... the 7th call they left the phone off the hook so no calls would go through... 0 stars .... read more

Clean restaurant, welcoming staff and attentive. We decided to stop for a quick bite in our drive back home from Tennessee. The food was hot, quick and very tasty! We would definitely stop again and recommend to everyone. read more

First time. Nothing spectacular. Very limited seating. Got the griddle sampler, bacon was chewy, home fries could've been cooked a little longer. Everything tastes bland. read more

I used to love eating here until I experienced rude behavior from one of your servers. She caused a scene in the restaurant yelling at another employee. She yelled using inappropriate language. The entire restaurant came to a halt and were shocked at such rude behavior. I asked for her name and found out her name is Christine. I haven't been back since this disturbing incident. I should be able to eat my meal in a pleasant atmosphere. She would not stop this behavior and ruined my appetite. I haven't been back since. read more

Very good diner type of place quick easy access off the highway. Fast friendly service . Very inexpensive and good size of meals. The day we went they were completely out of all chicken ( which didn't matter to us) I had the meatloaf special on a Monday and my husband had a cheesesteak with fries. Both were very good, we will definitely go here every time we are driving through. read more

Great diner!!! Wonderful service, our server went out of her way to accommodate our kids request for non-menu items. Food was delicious, clean restaurant and expansive menu offerings. Wish I had one in my neighborhood!!! read more

Service was really good. I had a burger, very tasty. Blt got good reviews. No beer , but it wasn't expected. I will return.

I really like diners. The atmosphere is great, all of our breakfasts we very good. Substitutions are not a problem. It does take a long time to get your food. We found service to be slow, but EVERYONE is shorthanded these days. read more

Good standard fare for breakfast. Guarantied the WEAKEST coffee this side of the Blue Ridge. read more

Joe's Griddle & Grill - Weakness - Diners Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

Over priced and only mediocre food. Had the chicken fried steak for $11. Average Sysco food. Beef stroganoff was good but for $14 it was a ripoff. It was a child's meal. The restaurant is clean and service good thus the reason for two stars. Too many cheaper better options. I would even say across the street at Cracker Barrel would be a cheaper more filling option. This is a truck stop it should have better food for what they charge. It won't be here in a year. read more

Took over 40 mins for some takeout that was all easy stuff. There is no they even started cooking the onion rings until after I asked about the wait time because they came out hot but the fries were not. read more

I ordered the Salisbury Steak Special and received one piece of Salisbury Steak that was so thin it was see-through. On top of that it was still mooing! Sent it back and got two pieces a little thicker but covered with flavorless brown gravy out of a can. The string beans were from a can also. I was not expecting a four-star restaurant, but this had to be the worse diner I have ever encountered. Mercifully, they took this off the bill. My wife ordered a tuna melt and received a steak sandwich on toast. Unfortunately, we did not see the Cracker Barrel across the street! read more

I have been here many times and it is a truck stop. With that being said, the time of day was right around 1:00 o'clock in the afternoon, there were a few tables but they weren't real busy. The food I guess tasted okay for a truck but what got my attention was how sloppy everything was. It wasn't just my food it was a couple others also. So the chili did have an appropriate amount of heat (spice) but very little other flavor. The steak was very overdone and again with very little flavor, the gravy was okay but, alone with a strawberry milkshake for a price of just over $24.00 the waitress should've at least looked at the plate. UPDATE: about a month later I went back to Joe's and the food was about the same for a truck stop. How ever the plates were much better, and I recognized the this particular waitress from other times in the past that I have been there and she is very good. So in hind sight everyone and anyone can have a bad day to include an entire team of people. So will I be back to Joe's, absolutely, do I recommend Joe's, yes as long as ur not expecting five star. The service is usually pretty quick read more

Joe's Griddle & Grill - Small meal - Diners Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

Decided to stop in for a quick breakfast before catching the bus. It was seat yourself, and after I sat down, I waited 20 minutes until a server finally came over. I told her that I had been waiting & needed to catch a bus, and she said several big orders were in before me so I had to walk out or else risk missing my bus. They weren't even that busy so it's just poor management. Take it from a Jersey boy who grew up going to the best diners in the country-you guys need some lessons in how to diner. Do not recommend. read more

Average diner food, but Sylvia made it excellent! Open 24/7, we got a western omelet and a cheesesteak omelet. Sylvia did a song and dance explaining the side options. She was so friendly and happy to be there! Other servers should look to get lead! The service made it 5 stars! read more

If you're looking for a great home style mom and pop diner look no further. After my second time eating at Joe's I have nothing but positive things to say. The service is great, the food is delicious, and the portions are large, if anything too large. My first time eating at Joe's I had a cheeseburger and fries. the cheeseburger was cooked just right and full of flavor, the French fries are perfectly crispy as well. I ordered chili with a side of mac n cheese this most recent visit to Joe's and it exceeded my expectations. The chili was a perfect blend between sweet and salty, and the mac n cheese reminded me of my grandma's homemade mac n cheese. Joe's is a must stop if you're looking for a quick, filling meal. read more
