Business Summary  what's this?

For three star American, try Not Your Average Joe's in the Greater Boston area. This is a popular Watertown area restaurant. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a family atmosphere. This place features a full bar. This place is handicap accessible and good for groups. Diners found the food reasonably priced so I'm not going broke even though my meal tastes like whoa. Try the Not. Diners liked the crembrule.

Yelp.com Review - by Megan B.

2.0 of 5 stars. It's a fun place to go with kids but I agree, the food is pretty average. The waitstaff are spotty, some are great, others not.

A fun place. Noisy enough to mask a crying baby or keep a infant busy by looking around. Great food, fast service, great prices. They usually have a wait for dinner, but they do have call ahead seating

3.0 of 5 stars. I think the name of this restaurant is pretty ironic because in all honesty, it IS pretty average! The bread and dipping oil is definitly a high point, and I am addicted to their Tomato Basil Soup...

5.0 of 5 stars. Great atmosphere in the place, the wire people on the walls are pretty neat. The food is fabulous. The bread and dipping sauce alone are worth the trip. If you don't want to go all the way there,...

5.0 of 5 stars. Call ahead before you. Great neighborhood spot - I am a huge fan of the meatloaf. I know, who orders meatloaf? But trust me - it is better than your mom's. The bread is fantastic (be careful - you...

Not your average wait by Shannon S. at InsiderPages

This place should be called Not your Avaerge WAIT. Large parties wait a really long time for poor seating service. We've tried several times. Nothing terribly special about the menu either.

It can be crowded so use call ahead seating. There is usually room in the bar area if you have to wait. Once seated, the waitresses are always prompt and friendly. The bread & olive oil w/cheese & spices is...

We had to wait awhile for a table and that made my toddler a bit cranky. The food was good, but not worth the long wait with a toddler in tow.

Great place although wait to take the kids at some off-hour; the place can get packed and overwhelming for little ones.

Sit back and relax

The atmosphere, service, and food are fantastic. I've been there several times and the food has always been perfect. They cater to any diet and try their best to make you happy. I have to add that the music is...

been here twice with our toddler, and each time our waiter was VERY attentive to our childs needs, and didn't flinch in the least when he melted down, which made us enjoy and relax that much more.

Lacking to be desired

We arrived to a hostess area crowded by four hosts/ hostesses- complete overkill for a Monday night at a medium sized restaurant. The Caesar salad was the worst I've ever had. My pasta was overcooked and my...

Went to the Acton location for the first time. The caesar salad and chicken picatta entree were excellent. One of our group ordered a dessert, Key Lime Pie, we all took a taste, thought my mouth would pucker...

The salad was just iceberg lettuce. Sandwich was cheesy, greasy slop. My girlfriend ordered the most pathetic cobb salad I have ever seen. I think their philosophy is "if all else fails add cheese". I rarely...

I have to agree with Maria's reviews, especially since I had the same food for lunch - the mega-delish salmon. I've found that all of their locations I've visited have had the same high quality of food and...

Four of us went on a Sat. night at 7:30pm. It was quite busy but we only waited about 20 minutes for a table. Our waiter was young and very inexperienced. My dinner was uneventful having the scallop and...

Joe's overall was terrible but the only thing that redeemed the restaurant was the oil and bread served at the beginning of the meal. Steak tips were very dry and mashed potatos were tasteless. I would only...
