Made our first of the season dinner from SJs. Pizza is always excellent, generous toppings and flavorful crust. The wings were oustanding and slightly less expensive than other places in the area. Perfectly cook, full and meaty, their normal hot was plenty of spice for me. Also ordered salads, 1 regular salad is plenty for 2, get extra dressings, they're on the side. Delivery was under the hour they estimated and fee was reasonable. SJs never disappoints- great way to start the season, or anytime! read more

I have never been to this pizza shop before. I don't even live nearby this pizza shop. But. I am already trying to figure out when I'll be back. I live about an hour away. I stopped in looking for some dinner as I was passing through. And decided to pickup a pizza. I ordered the buffalo chicken pizza. And I was very happy with the quality of the ingredients they used. Real chicken pieces. Not processed chicken. Red onions and amazing cheese along with the best buffalo sauce I've ever tasted. The person who cut the pizza even took pride in cutting it because to me the slices were cut almost evenly. And that's not what normally happens. People are usually in a rush. And the slices are thin and large. But this was awesome. The taste was so good. I want to go back and try something else. Because they have many different flavors. The price was very good. Only $15 for a twelve inch pizza. That's beyond great. Thanks for a late night dinner. I appreciate it. I'll be back. Soon. read more

We ordered pizza from Smokin Joe's and it was what we expected. Compared to some of the other pizza places in this area, Smokin Joe's can run a bit pricier. So just FYI. We really liked their version of Hawaiian pizza, which was made with a nice sweet sauce. My Mom really enjoyed their wings and said she would absolutely order them again. We also ordered the Philly Cheesesteak pizza, which was tasty but had more of an onion flavor to me. We ordered this pizza on a stressful night and didn't want to think too much about dinner. The online ordering worked well and came within 40 minutes as expected. I wish I had something more revolutionary to say - maybe I will on my next experience with Smokin Joe's! read more

My wife and I are confessed pizza snobs. We try pizza everywhere we go and review it so you don't have to. This is just an ordinary, run of the mill pie. We ordered half pepperoni half sausage. This is our baseline because you can tell the quality of their ingredients just by looking at these two toppings. The ingredients used are nothing special. Sadly, the pie wasn't either. read more

We moved to Vermilion-Wakeman area a year ago and ordered them for the first time before we even had furniture in our house. Since then we have been a loyal customer and have ordered multiple times a month when life would get too crazy with kiddos and animals and allthethings. The food is always consistent-- in spite of other reviewers being EXTRA PICKY on here. So then we had a fire and our home became unlivable. The staff at SJ's raised money for us and reached out to us as a part of our COMMUNITY. They stopped being a place we shopped as regulars and became a helping hand in return. THAT is the true sense of a Mom-n-Pop restaurant who is involved in its community members. We will forever be grateful and lifetime customers. read more

I notice various reviews saying that it depends on who is working on the night that you get your order as to whether it will be good or not. I don't know who was working when we ordered 2 full slab rib dinners but those dinners were absolutely delicious. And they were so plentiful that I saved half of my dinner and had it for lunch the next day. They gave me extra sauce in a little container so I slathered (is that a word?) my ribs with the extra sauce before reheating and they were just as good as the night before. read more

This goes to show how important "consistency" is when it comes to a restaurant! Today, Charles wasn't there, I even asked for him... the woman I spoke to said she's making the pizza, today. I should have known better! Besides the pizza being way overbaked (crust was even tough!!) Then, there was something terribly wrong with the sausage, my husband and I immediately detected a funny taste. (We always get sausage, this was different!) I called around 4ish & spoke to a gentleman who was in a frantic hurry, & he said someone will call me back with my concerns. Hasn't happened.

Our family stopped by to make a pickup order for pizza and ribs. Was pleased when we were told about a 20 min wait. So we waited outside. Went in after 20 mins and stood there another ten before I hear that they messed up one of the pizzas. Now they had to make another. So I had to stand there another 20 minutes while the family waited outside and the rest of our food got cold. Wasn't offered any kind of compensation in any way. A small gesture would have went a long way towards good customer service. As for the food, pizza was ok. Not terrible not great. Ribs were charred on the backside, and definitely had been cooked for sometime. Personally I will look for another place when we are in the area. read more

We have been going to Smokin Joe's for many years and the food has been good most of the time. Over the past year it has really become hit 'hit and miss' as to its quality. About five months ago we ordered ribs and pulled pork. The ribs were terrible! Over smoked and dry. The pulled pork was acceptable. So a month or so later we thought we would give them another chance and the food was fabulous. Ribs were done to perfection and the pulled pork was wonderful. Fast forward to last night. We again ordered ribs, pulled pork and some wings. The only thing that was decent were the wings. The ribs were the worst I have ever eaten. Over smoked, dry and had way too much salt in the rub. The pulled pork was far from pulled! It was chopped in large chunks, full of fat that had not been rendered down which made it like chewing rubber and inedible. It was also extremely salty. I have no idea what is going on with Smokin Joe's and there quality but I for one will not be going back! read more

And you're rude. There was a miscommunication and you didn't have to be a jerk about it. So we ended up with cold mozzarella sticks... Also the area is LOUD, so it could be very easy to miscommunicate. I'm a manager at a restaurant and the way this was handled could have been much different. Guess jokes on us, we didn't even get what we "did" order.. which was our pizza toppings. Would have went back up but after the first interaction with your bartender it wasn't exactly comfortable. (Middle aged blonde lady) & (i think?) There was a Jesus related band playing too, which was a weird vibe for a bowling alley or bar Edit: thank you to the owner for reaching out! If we're ever back in the area, we'll be sure to let you know.

House of Wings has incredibly high quality bone in wings, something that has become more and more…read moreof a rarity in recent years. These are not the miniature, no meat rip offs that you'll find at Hot Rods or City Wings. These are full bodied, crispy wings that are moist, juicy and have a great crunch. 10 wings is enough for a nice meal. The ownership is awesome and accommodating. I always get mine with tons of Creeper sauce, and they always oblige me free of charge or hassle. This is mostly a carry out spot, but if you'd like to sit down and eat, you're more than welcome. Overall, I would consider this one of your higher quality and value wing spots in Detroit due to the size and quality of the wings you're getting. I can't wait to try more flavors. Stop by and try it!

CHEZ Francois - Vermilion…read more Our weekend experience along Lake Erie brought to mind several very nice dining experiences at CHEZ Francois - Vermilion. We fully endorse the dress code and expect other fine dining establishments to embrace: Gentlemen, Jackets Please "Recent phone call: She then asked if we ever have problems with customers and the dress code. I told her about a young lady who came in wearing flip-flops accompanied by her parents. We also felt her jean skirt and a tank top were inappropriate in our indoor dining room and disrespectful to our other diners. When I confronted her about her casual attires she began to cry and explained that it was her parents wedding anniversary. I relented and allowed them to sit in the dining room. I explained to the PD writer that occasionally circumstances dictate that we give the benefit of the doubt to avoid an embarrassing confrontation." We have excellent memories of Dayton and Cincinnati dining history which offered more than several fine dining experiences. We deplore the current practice of casualness and the proliferation of Sports Bars. We have delighted in several evenings of dining at CHEZ Francois - Vermilion. One consideration is Chef D'Amico's Prix Fixe Menu Six-Course Menu · $175 Per Person Wine Pairing · $75 Per Person 3oz per course Perhaps, Fruit Wood Smoked Salmon & Peekytoe Crab Timbale, Dill Remoulade Sauce Maine Diver Sea Scallop & Himalayan Morel Mushrooms En Croûte Bronzini Poêlé, Gremolata, Sauce au beurre de Verjus Seared Bronzini filet served over caramelized fennel and roasted fingerling potatoes, finished with a Plugrá Meyer lemon Verjus butter sauce and Gremolata and pickled fennel. Filet de Flétan, Croûte à la Truffe, Sauce au Beurre aux Herbes North Atlantic Halibut filet, sautéed, truffle and pine nut herb crust, grilled artichoke hearts, roasted leek mousseline, sauced with an herb butter sauce. Plateau de Fromages for Two, Montrachet Goat, St. Angel, English Stilton and Èpoisses, dates, Membrillo (quince paste) and almond/fig cake. In our view it is well worth planning a trip to Lake Erie to enjoy CHEZ Francois.

"Lasagna" was a disgusting bowl of slop drowned in cheap store bought sauce. I don't think you can even call it lasagna, more like cheap flavorless tomato soup with a glob of overcooked noodles over a clump of unseasoned steamed ground beef covered in cheap pre shredded "mozzarella". Only positive note was our server was great and I could definitely tell by her reaction I wasn't the only one with the same complaints.

REALLY LIKE THIS PLACE…read more quite a renovation done by the parkers here! Wide open seating thru the end of the crisis, big bar. Red tablecloth old school Italian pizza joint. Been here twice now after recommendation from our buddy Adam. I tell u I am really liking this place! Super cool bartendress Patsy last time. Great beer selection esp. if u like the good old American swill beers of your youth. I'm talking blatz. Genny cream. A boilermaker. Hilarious names for the drink menu. Some of them describe me perfectly ha. Got pizza at the bar last time, very good. The pepp gets the fried quality to it like Antonio's in Parma. Cheesy well done crust too. Wings were extra crispy per request and good selection of flavors. This time got a table, no problem on fri night which is great in my book. Cool waitress, big antipasto loaded w the meats & house dressing. We split that and the well baked pepperoni balls that tasted just like Kona brewing's on the big island. Was not expensive and could have ordered more. Takes 20 min I understand for ur brain to tell ur stomach ur full. Or the other way round. Whatever but I digress. They have some grinders I want to try, particularly the cheesesteak. Check this joint out for yourself it's great and cool people working it. Now watch I won't get a seat LOL. 5 stars see u next time.
