In a word, it's the food. Food that's made from the finest, freshest ingredients available. Food we prepare from scratch using our own imaginative recipes. Food worth getting dressed up for, except we prefer you come as you are. Just relax and check out the menu. You'll find plenty of everything, with one exception: we're completely out of the ordinary.

Our signature menu items include mustard-crusted chicken, Tuscan shrimp scampi, grilled sirloin tips and vegetable ravioli. Our entire menu is available for takeout.

Editorial Review for Not Your Average Joe's – by Citysearch Staff

The Scene
Each Joe's location handles a steady flow of hungry families and casual couples tired of national chains' bland cuisine and soulless atmospheres. While most nights bring standing-room crowds, waiting for a table can be avoided by sitting at the bar (the better to sample from a surprisingly varied, yet affordable, wine list). Servers, while kept in constant motion by the hungry masses, manage to keep baskets of spongy focaccia filled.

The Food
While most diners come for the eclectic, stone hearth oven-baked pizzas (shrimp and artichoke, spicy "voodoo" chicken), it's a mistake to ignore the rest of the varied menu. Start with a freshly-made cobb salad; full of grilled chicken, applewood-smoked bacon, and avocado, the heaping plate is large enough for three diners. Entrees consist of casual (savory Black Angus meatloaf) and contemporary (Mediterranean salmon with balsamic tomato-caper relish) options. Mammoth desserts include kid-approved favorites like strawberry shortcake.

Every once in a while its nice to have a menu change! BUT other than that, this place is cool, literally, its always cold in there. The waitstaff are usually very nice. Sometimes slow but nice. The menu has been the same for years but it always taste good! Great for the whole family! Definately make reservations if you can...

Pros: Delicious bread, delicious mixed drinks, yummy food!

Cons: need a menu change...variation is nice!

I guess every meal in a US Italian restaurant starts with bread and their is a pleasant foreshadowing of what is to come. Their meals are fair priced and great quality.

Pros: Great Food

Cons: sometimes there is a wait
