Somehow every time I come home, I end up going to NYAJ. I'm pretty sure the only reason I end up here is because of its convenient location in the Cape Cod Mall. Although the food is decent, there are many other speciality restaurants around that do just as good, or better a job, at fusion dishes. Plus Im all for supporting the local businessman in a wounded economy. That being said, I ended up here for Saturday brunch with my mother. I ordered their garden salad with grilled chicken and lo-cal zinfandel. Considering NYAJ tries to infuse its dishes with interesting flavors, I was hoping it would have some pizzaz in it, something I wouldn't expect, but nevertheless it was a standard garden salad. The lettuce was iceberg and it had a few chopped onions, tomatoes and cucumbers in it. It was also topped with shredded mozzarella cheese. Basically, I could have pulled these ingredients out of my fridge and made this at home. I'm also aware that I could have ordered many other interesting dishes on the menu, however I was attempting to eat healthfully, which NYAJ is not conducive to. Alongside my blah salad, I ordered a fruity sangria. I was pleasantly surprised at its size and price. Typically Sangria comes in a wine glass but this sangria came in a standard soda/water glass. It was a bit sweet, albeit tasty. Unfortunately my sangria did not redeem my NYAJ experience. The server made some rookie mistakes. I asked if I could have a side of butternut squash since it seems to be a popular ingredient on the menu. He said he would ask the chef, and then came back to tell me although plain butternut squash is available, they could not give me any since they didn't have enough of it for their dishes that call for it. Although honesty is key in any relationship, why would you bother to tell me? Just lie and say its already mixed into your dishes or something. Don't get my hopes up waiter boy! I was pretty disappointed after that. read more

Food was OK but lacked decent flavor. It was all too heavy without much taste. Bread was good for us, and the dipping oil was a nice touch. I might eat there again but would consider my other options first. read more

I posted the review below earlier, and what I said still stands. But the fact that they contacted me so quickly to apologize, and to try to make up for the mistake, means a lot; so I'm changing my rating from a 2 to a 4. The food and drink were great as always, especially that bread and oil. But I was quite angry when I left there yesterday, as I had given them a specific request when I made my reservation on Open Table, which they completely ignored. It was my mother-in-law's 81st birthday, and I asked that they bring some sort of dessert with a candle in it, so we could sing Happy Birthday, "even if" no one ordered dessert. The waitress even knew it was her birthday since we told her, and she asked if we wanted dessert; but obviously never saw, or wasn't told about, the special request! No excuse for this, especially since the restaurant was empty at the time so they weren't too busy to notice! read more

This is my favorite restaurant on Cape Cod. Since I live here, we try to go once every other month. The service is friendly; prices are reasonable; menu is different. They change the menu and add new and different dishes.. Only complaint is they seem to delete dishes that I really enjoy, ie. Voodoo Shrimp appetiser. If you join their email club you receive a coupon for a FREE meal and dessert on your birthday month... read more

I love their chowder although there's probably better places. Also their bread dipping sauce is excellent, love the parmesan cheese and red pepper mixed with olive oil, something i'm gonna have to try at home. Now, i've had their chicken strips and a burger. They're not the best, the strips are kinda bland and the burger was decent although the bun wasn't that great. Now, I love their atmosphere there, really upbeat and feel good hey lets have a jolly good time air to it. Not a bad place if you're close and need something to eat on the spot. read more

Our first experience was great! The restaurant was packed and normally they gave us a proper experience. However, this time the hostess' were walking continuously back and forth on their phones. Eating in front of us. Clearly looked like they were messing around, which as a young person I never like to think that should be an issue, but they seem like they're just there to hang out. Not a proper restaurant. Never not with a phone in sight. The waitress was hanging off our shoulders. Pleasant, but around a little too much. The meat on our plates were burnt, and destroyed my friend's taste buds. She literally continued to taste the burnt flavor an hour afterwards. The temperature of her salmon was suppose to be medium, but this time it came out as well, and was covered it the char. Kind of expected more. Maybe next time? Maybe not? read more

The BEST bread and dipping oil you will ever have in your lifetime! Their salads are amazing, too, and they will give you a large portion, unlike the wimpy salads from other restaurants. My favorite salads are the Waldorf Chicken Salad and the Almond-Crusted Goat Cheese Salad. Everything on the menu is delicious, and they are also well-known for their pizza pies! I highly recommend giving Joe's a try! I've never had a bad experience. I've been going to Joe's since I went to Bishop Stang High School, since there was originally a location in North Dartmouth, MA. read more

Had a wonderful meal/experience at NYAJs while on Cape Cod. I always feel like a second class citizen while ordering my gluten free meal, but everything at this restaurant was designed to make the gf dining experience much better, including fresh, hot, gluten free bread, a huge gf menu, and a dedicated gf server. Will definitely return, would love to see the chain expand into the NY area! read more

Two words.. Yee Uck.. that's how I felt when I ordered the stuffed quahog here... it came with corn and a bunch of other nasty stuff that just didn't work well.. it was down right disgusting... I would not even feed it to my dog... that being said.. maybe there are a few things on their menu that are good... however I'll stick to my average Joe's from now on and stay far away from this one... read more

We absolutely have always loved stopping here when visiting Cape Cod! The food is just excellent. The place is clean and the staff is very friendly! This time was even more special! My toddler left his "blankie" at the restaurant and we live all the way in New York! We called them to ask you if they found it and they said yes! They went above and beyond any place we've ever been to!! They offered to mail it since they knew how important it was to our little one!! Awwwww!! We just got it in the mail today and we truly appreciate their generosity! We will definitely be back!! TH from NY read more

Not Your Average Joe's was a great spot for my wife and I to stop in for lunch on a rainy day before heading to do some shopping and catch a movie while honeymooning on Cape Cod. Our trip has had its fair share of road bumps and the staff was so accommodating and polite in allowing us to vent. They were quick with advice on things to do and see in the area and were generous beyond belief. The food was good and the bread and dip were such a fabulous starter. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Hyannis who is looking for a great spot with great people! read more

Come here!!! The number 1 thing at a restaurant is the food. The food here was amazing the service was too notch and atmosphere was pretty good as well. I definitely recommend Not your average Joe's read more

Had another great meal!!!!! The chicken Alfredo was delicious I would get it again and again the service was impeccable and the place was spotless we had another great evening!!!!!! My husband had the mustard crusted chicken and he thought that was delicious as well!!!! Mitch and the rest of the bar staff make it a really enjoyable time read more

Best meal I have eaten in a long while. I struggle with food allergies and sensitivities. Douglas the manager and the staff created a meal that was fantastic. I can't say enough about how accommodating they all were. read more

BEST BUFFALO CHICKEN PIZZA ON THE CAPE!!!!!!! Everyone has their own way of judging a restaurant, and personally my way of judging a restaurant is by their buffalo chicken pizza. Every time I go somewhere new I always order buffalo chicken pizza. I'm a slut for buffalo chicken anything. This buffalo chicken pizza is by far my favorite. The crust was thin and crispy but not brittle. The chicken was evenly distributed throughout the pizza and it wasn't too spicy. Rlly good flavor!!!! Only four stars though because they don't offer a gluten free crust option but the pain and uncomfort is worth it for this buffalo chicken pizza!!!!!!!! read more

I would like to say that Daniel server was fantastic. He was funny and very accurate with our ordering. getting our food out was fast and hot. Always checked in on us!! My boyfriend and I go there a lot but we never had Daniel before. So if you go in to eat ask for Daniel or Big Kat... she is amazing as well!!!! read more

This is my favorite on Cape Cod.. There menu is very unique and the food is made to order. They even have some Gluten Free items. If you want them to add or delete something they are very accomodating. The service is good depending on what particular one you get. They give you Foccacia Bread with a garlic, cheese and olive oil dip with your meal, that in itself could be your whole meal... I try to go there at least once/month. My favorite is the Chicken Carbonarra. My wife loves the Plank Salmon.... A definite try it you'll like it.. read more

Arrival around 630 pm to find a full restaurant, the wait as promised by the hostess was 5 to 10 minutes, which is extremely reasonable. Appetizers consisted of tomato basil soup, excellent! Dumplings, also excellent. Dinner was also quite nice and would highly recommend the place to anyone including families. read more

Great food. Awesome management. Crowded due to location so call ahead. Better to visit during the summer season even though it's crowded because the food is usually better. Great staff. read more

First time going to "Not your Average Joe's " I loved it . The service was great I didn't have to ask for more water the server just brought it to me. The food was excellent. I definitely would recommend for lunch or dinner. read more

Upon arrival, we were seated promptly, seeing as it's New Years and I'm from out of town I have no family here to have a nice meal with, so we made a reservation for 8:45. As we walked past the kitchen, someone was heard complaint and saying "we're closed" though we were told the establishment would be open until 10. Being from the service industry, you know if you have complaints you never talk loud enough for guest to hear. I understand it's New Years Eve and the staff probably have plans for after work, but you made a choice to work in the industry and to take the curveballs thrown your way. That being said if you're open until ten simply don't complain and alert everyone that a table has walked in and complain about it in front of the guest or take it out on the guest out of your pure annoyance of making money. The food is pretty average. Should be called 'Your Average Joe's'. read more

No matter which location I visit I'm always guaranteed a great meal at a fair price! The wait staff is friendly and helpful.

The food was very good. The waitress was very personable. The hostess however was terrible. She didn't smile or greet us when we came in. She seemed confused when we asked for a booth and never said a word as she walked us to our table...just laid the menus down and walked off. Not a good first impression. We are from out of state and not sure of the restaurant to begin with but after that first impression we were ready to walk back out. When I asked for a straw for my drink the waitress informed us that they did not readily offer plastic straws as they were doing their part to save the planet. She then asked, "Do you really needed one." If plastic straws are an issue, why not offer customers paper straws? With all that said, I glad we did not walk out - the food was very good! read more

First meal for me, return visit for my wife. Appreciated the wide selection of gluten free offerings. Service was spot on, and decor was pleasing and relatively quiet even though mostly full. My dinner was pretty good, chicken parmesan, wife's seafood and pasta was better. Well come back for sure. read more

Went with two friend for dinner tonight. I actually felt embarrassed, I highly recommended this restaurant to my friends. We were rushed by the waiter from the moment we sat down, before finishing our dinner she asked if we were going to have desert, we said no thank you, she then brought the check. We have basically just started eating. Also when I asked her for more bread, she said the bread station was closed already. To be honest that was the only good think in that place. The food was priced for what it was. Definitely not coming back, I rather eat at Wendy's if I am going to be rushed and can't get what I want. read more

As always, a great experience. Quickly seated, a waitress right on top of things and excellent food. Highly recommend!!!

The prices are high, especially considering the quality of the food is average. I would also like note that they do not have guacamole. However, they gave a large quantity of food, had a friendly staff, and offer a nice dinning environment read more

It used to be our favorite restaurant in Hyannis. Not anymore, prices have gone up and quality has gone down. We since discovered many good restaurants in historical Hyannis. I mostly post this review because I care about that restaurant and if they want to continue to stay in business, they need to pay close attention to the reviews. read more

I usually don't write reviews about service that I've had, but I felt like I should share my experience from last night because it was exceptional. My girlfriend and I were headed home after the long weekend and decided to stop in for something to eat. We were very tired and maybe a bit grumpy but that didn't matter to our waitress Kerri. She was so happy to have us last night! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped suggest something for my girlfriend to order, as she's rather picky and has some allergies. Kerri remembered everything perfectly and went out of her way to get our drinks and any extras we needed. It actually made our night much better and we were so happy leaving the restaurant after. Plus the food was great! If you happen to visit this location and Kerri is your waitress, you're in good hands for your meal. A+ job by her for sure! read more

I placed my order through DoorDash. Everything I ordered contained some type of seafood. It was all cooked perfectly per my order instructions, the vegetable sides far surpassed my expectations and even the warm rustic sourdough(?) onion bread with parmesan/olive oil for dipping that was unexpectedly included was amazing! I will definitely be ordering from this restaurant again and frequently! read more

Came in last week for dinner with some friends. Cate our server was extremely friendly and made sure we had the best experience possible while there!! Will definitely be back for more bread! read more

Sat at the bar for a Saturday lunch with my father and girlfriend. Our appetizer, Caribbean Buffalo Tenders, were crispy, tender, and had a nice balance of sweet and spice. We were all pleased with our lunch entrees as well. Trevor, Alicia, and Rachel were all fantastic and attentive. Great beer selection, great food, great service. Highly recommend! read more

Updated review. I have went back after my last review and it deserved an update. The food was much better than the last time. Bread was much more fresh. I ordered the steak tips with potatoes and green beans. All great. My spouse ordered the pork shank and it was served still cold but still had a good flavor. The broth was hot so once mixed in it heated up ok. Overall better than the last time I visited there. read more

Caitlin was our waitress today and we thought she was awesome...will definitely be back.

The Cape Cod Not Your Average Joe's beats all the rest! The renovations are amazing with great views. The food is AMAZING and always comes out fast. The bread is obviously great but that's a given at Joes. We love on Nantucket and if we need a quick meal before we head home, Joe's is our GO-TO. And the best part is the staff. So friendly and so amazing. Our favorite bartenders are Josh and Jocelyn. They are so positive and always happy to give us whatever we need (even with my complicated order). If you're shopping on the cape or in the mall, make sure to stop at Joe's for lunch! read more

So many good restaurants in Hyannis but I love Not Your Average Joe's! Yesterday's visit didn't disappoint! Our waitress kerri went above and beyond checking in on us frequently and suggesting a new meal for me to try! Can't wait to come back! read more

We were served by James P and he was amazing. Was extremely polite and personable, I would definitely ask for him as a waiter!!

I was excited to come into the new restaurant when it reopened and was not disappointed. It was the same great food that I remembered from before, and the service was great! I will ask for Cate again the next time I come back. read more

Prices very high!! 52.00 for two salads and two beers. One small salad with 6. oz of chicken 20.00

Was an unpleasant experience. Firstly some staff are in uniform, most aren't. It would be nice to see all staff in uniform so I know who is actually employed at the establishment. Supervisors show a lack of concern, staff was inexperienced and front stations were extremely messy. Waitress did not know how to make a frappuccino nor a cappuccino. I had ordered the chicken picatta, wasn't proportional, it was a mountain of pasta with little chicken. Overall poor management. read more
