Boozy coffee
Stephanie S.

This place was on my list to try when I came to visit my family. Luckily a family member had already been there and said the food was good. We ordered : two Iced boozy coffee, orange juice, Verde chilaquiles, Cinnamon roll French toast, and Classic Benedict. All the food was good and good portions. Two of us had leftovers. The iced boozy coffee was missing a chocolate rim (although that is an assumption based on another Yelp photo). Only downside was it did take a long time for our order to come out. When we asked the server about our food, she stated the kitchen was backed up because the rush of people that came in at the same time (which I did notice but that was after we were seated and ordered). We ordered 10am and didn't get food until 10:45am. I think the order was put in late but who knows. Overall it was a good breakfast. Just a heads up in case it matters, there is no handicap parking.

Perfect Breakfast
Brad S.

Date:9/5/25 Time:11:30-11::45AM [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is such a neat little restaurant. Good utilization of space with tables and booths.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Moderately busy, but we were seated very quickly. We had a wonderful server who promptly took our drink and food orders. -I had the biscuits and gravy which comes with eggs and hash-browns -Wife had the Perfect Breakfast - 2 eggs, 2 sausage, and pancake. As fyi, you can choose sausage, bacon, or ham for meat and French toast or waffle instead of pancake. -Daughter had Cinnamon roll French toast Have to say the food was excellent. My eggs and hash browns were perfectly cooked. The biscuits and gravy were also really good. Even finished the small amount of cinnamon French toast my daughter couldn't eat (yes, I am a fatty LOL). It was out of this world good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant decor was a little mixed, but it works very nicely. Great job whoever set this up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathrooms were immaculate and well stocked.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The manager or owner was very nice and greeted us upon arrival and when leaving. Everything about this place is top notch. If you are looking for a breakfast/brunch place in Meridian do yourself a favor and stop by this lovely restaurant.

Menu

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Casual brunch spot with lots of natural sunlight and several delicious brunch food and drink options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The customer service was top notch. They serve local foods, whole ingredients and no seed oils. Great prices on the kids menu too. Definitely a place I will regular.

Bar area/my birthday sign!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Always love the food/service and Atmosphere here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Was a real treat to find out after 2 years that we share the same birthday! Some of my favs are breakfast mimosas, breakfast tacos, Avacado toast hash, huevos ranchos and the chicken fried steak.

Avocado that is not ripe but still brown and bad. Melon that wasn't cut appropriately for service, eggs that waxy and brown.

The food was bad. Avocado that is not ripe but yet brown and bad. Oxidized and rotting. Melon that wasn't cut appropriately for service, eggs that were waxy and brown from contact with the rancid avocado. I know times are tough, but don't pass it on to the customer by serving bad food. Throw it out and eat the cost of not stocking your kitchen properly. And chef, have some self respect and pride. Are you too busy to cut the melon correctly? If I wanted to cut melon I would have stayed home. When we mentioned our dissatisfaction to the server she initially argued with us and said there is no way to know if an avocado is ripe. But after leaving the table she did return and apologize and take the meal off the check.

My family and I are passing through Meridian, and stopped at this place, let me say that the food looked 100% home made, it was really good, service was fast and excellent, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place is really nice and gives a family restaurant vibe[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]! Would recommend 9/10 total!

Cold toast butter would not melt had to ask twice for it. Food was barely warm just not a very good experience especially for the price.

Every drink we ordered was excellent--no notes! The servers were friendly, engaging, and gave great recommendations that helped everyone find the perfect cocktail. The back patio was one of my favorite parts. It felt peaceful while still capturing the energy of the city. The exposed brick, dark wood, and warm lighting created a cozy, inviting atmosphere that made it easy to settle in and stay awhile. Their happy hour is another huge plus. The cocktails were reasonably priced, and everyone in our group loved both the drinks and the overall vibe. This may have just become my favorite cocktail spot in town. We're already planning a return visit--especially to check out the dance lessons upstairs. The space had such fun, welcoming energy, and I can't wait to experience it for myself.

I had already had a couple drinks and I told the waitress Sophia W. who is tall with dark hair that I was going to pay for my friends drink because he bought me a birthday drink last month. He ordered San Pellagrino,I ordered a Tito's and soda with lime. Then the other two proceeded to order meals and an appetizer one had a glass of wine or two. Another person who I didn't know joined the table. He ordered his own drink after I got to know him I said. Wanna do a shot? We ordered two lemon drop SHOTS! When they arrived, the lemon drop shots were actually in rock's glasses. I said "What is this? A triple shot" she said no it's special with sugar on the rim. These were not shots and I knew I was being up charged. I didn't even drink mine because it was too much sweetness in a full glass (All I wanted is what I fucking asked for a shot!) At the end of the night when I received the bill, it was $111.30 the waitress took it upon herself to put my friend's dinner on my bill, my other friend's glass of wine as well as the man who joined the table's drink and half of the appetizer which I didn't order or agree to! . When I went in to pay with touch pay, I explained to her that I don't know the guy she put the drink on my bill. I never agreed to that nor was I going to pay for the glass of wine either, or the meal. She argued that I told her I was going to pay for my friend's meal when all I said, I was gonna pay for his drink that was nonalcoholic. She totally took advantage of the fact that I had already been drinking. Also I was wearing a Tie-dye T-shirt with the Hands that says YOU ARE ALL WELCOME HERE - I believe she was bias of my shirt and my sexuality!!! I was over it and just paid the bill and I actually did give her a $10.00 tip which I should not have! I am leaving this review because of the deceptive service I received. My caution is to customers is to watch your bill!! I did get the bill from $111.30 To $74.20 after she removed only one glass of wine and the other guys drink and half of the app. All I was expecting and should have paid for was a Tito's /soda, a San Pellagrino and two lemon drop (SHOTS) that's it.!! So the final bill was $ 74.20 + $10.00 tip = $84.20 NOT OKAY!!!

Hubby and I were starting off my birthday week with breakfast. He asked me where I wanted to eat…read more Of course it had to be Moe Joe's. We were in the area so it was meant to be. We did have to have a small wait. I love the fact that they were busy! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a local business thrive! It was a little over 10 minutes of wait time. No problem, we chilled in the car till we got our text to come in. We were sat, got coffee and juice ordered and checked out the menu. We were both hungry so everything looked good. My husband decided on a stack of pancakes with chocolate chips and a side of biscuits and gravy. I got the Big boy omelet with Moe Joe's potatoes. Our server, I believe her name is Kendra, was super sweet! I have served her before when she came in and ate my at family's restaurant. She was fabulous as a guest and fabulous at taking care of us today. I had requested a fresh cup of half and half that wasn't used my multiple guests. I'm still bring careful with my new kidney. With no hesitation, she gladly gave me a fresh cup of half and for my coffee. I appreciate her kindness so much. Food came out and booooyyyyy did everything look amazing! My husband's pancakes were fluffy and had plenty of chocolate chips. The biscuits were covered with gravy. My omelet was massive and was also covered in gravy. I was ready to tear into them potatoes! They were nice and charry. I know this meal is about to hit! I don't think I said a word to my husband for 15 minutes. The food was so good! Nothing important needed to be talked about when the food was doing the talking for us. My omelet was stuffed with green peppers, onions and all the 3 meats that came with it. I love love love the gravy on top! The potatoes were crispy on the outside and so soft in the middle. The potatoes with gravy is top tier! Of course I tried my husband's pancakes.... so fluffy and sweet. The biscuits weren't crazy dense. I love that they were airy. I really had to hold back on the pancakes, I still had a whole omelet to work on. But them pancakes were the business! It's sad that this joint is clear across town. I would eat here every week if I could. Everything we had today was so good! Everything I had last time was good! The service is fantastic. I adore Memory and Peyton. Now I get to add Kendra to my list! One of the best breakfast joints in town, hands down! I'm so happy I got to start my birthday week at Moe Joe's! I look forward to coming back very soon.

Worst restaurant experience in a while! We were visiting Meridian and looked this place up on Yelp…read moreand saw that it had a great rating but were totally disappointed. I ordered an omelette that said on the menu that it came with gravy which I told the waitress that I didn't want. Well somehow the chef either didn't see it or decided to put it on anyway. It ruined my breakfast I know better than to send food back with a complaint Won't be back. Update: Joe, in response to your comment: Seems to me that maybe you shouldn't be in the restaurant business if you can't handle a little public criticism by your customers. I only posted what was our experience maybe others would find their change requests ignored of no significance but I'm on a specialized diet and that gravy was not acceptable! So stop being such a pansy and learn to use criticism to improve your product and services!

We had a fantastic meal here! I ordered the flat iron steak salad, and my partner got the Cuz I'm a Cowboy Baby 1/2 # kobe burger. Both the steak and the burger meat were cooked to absolute perfection (a true medium rare). The lettuce and veggies in the salad were incredibly fresh and crisp, and it was tossed in a delicious, Greek-style dressing that complimented the dish perfectly.

Great vibe in summer or winter and excellent waitstaff. Go alone and sit at the bar, meet friends, have family gatherings. Pro tip. Park on Pine on the street, east of Meridian. Great place to people watch if you're alone, but you can have a deep conversation with someone because while you can hear the music ( I want to know who's responsible...they do good) you can also hear the people around you. Wonderful drinks, food, ambiance. See you there, I need my fix.
