Yelp.com Review - by Daisy W.

3.0 of 5 stars. It just wasn't that great to me. It's fine for BBQ and the baked beans were different (in a good way) but it just wasn't up to the hype I had heard about from so many different people.

4.0 of 5 stars. Great affordable BBQ! I had both the pulled pork and the beef brisket. The pulled pork was excellent, especially when you add the spicy BBQ sauce on top. The beef brisket was a bit on the dry end but...

Average fare

Nothing special here, no wait... the lemon cake was good. So was the black bean corn relish. Otherwise, go somewhere else for good BBQ.

Disappointing

Smells good, but it ends there. Why people line up for this stuff is beyond me. The food is bland and the experience forgetable. If you want good BBQ, go elsewhere.

This place is near my CPA's office, so I tend to go there after revisiting my company's dismal finances all morning. Maybe it is because I only go there after bad news, but I haven't had much luck at Joe's. I...

Joe's NOT Real Barbecue

There is a real sense of smalltown that emits the persona of 'cue', but that is the best that this place can offer. I grew up on 'cue' in Cincinnati and Joe needs some help on pricing, portions and palates.
