Joe's Diner

"Went to Joe's for lunch. Large menu, average prices. Ordered pot roast. Very good, except small pulled pieces like they were running out, not much. Potatoes were good, sting beans not. Diner atmosphere and also settings. Worth a try. Service was good"

"I am part of a group of retired Collier County public servants. We meet weekly at different restaurants in the community. This week there were only 8 of us and we met at Joe’s Diner on Airport Road in East Naples. When we initially ordered the food I was skipped, okay honest mistake. I got her attention and ordered a “Joe’s Chicken Breast Sandwich”. I asked the server if it came with mayo and she said yes. A little while after everyone else had received their order she brought out a plate with fries, lettuce, pickles and a chicken breast with no bun. She explained that they were waiting on a bun. As everyone else was finishing their meal the server sat down a plate with some sort of flat bread on it that was apparently my “bun”. I told her that there was no mayo so she brought out a small container of it. Since the rest of my group was paying their bills and my chicken was cold, I asked for a to-go box. Two or three of our group asked her about the toast that they were supposed to get and were asked to be patient since there was only one cook in the kitchen. I understand that with the shortage of help she was probably frustrated but she was treating us like we were a big inconvenience in her life. When I received my bill I found that I was charged fifty cents for the mayo that I was told came with the sandwich. I am not concerned about the cost but I am bothered that I was not told that I was being charged for an item that is commonly free. I asked her why I was being charged for the item and she just said that I asked for it. I tried to explain that she told me that it came with the sandwich but she ignored me. Those of us at the table joked that we were shocked that we were not being charged for the ketchup and salt & pepper. This incident brought back a memory from when we met at this same restaurant on September 1st. The server asked our group if this was going to be separate checks and we said yes. She muttered, “figures”, and proceeded to take our orders. I was bothered by it but just assumed that she was probably having a bad day. Our group will be removing this restaurant from our rotation of meeting locations and all present agreed that we would not be coming back as individuals either."

"Oldie but goodie. I've been visiting this place for over 5 years during my family's annual Naples getaway. The menu changed this year but the food was still delicious."

"I work near here and let me tell you food is awesome here. It's a must go to place for sure. Got good old favorite dish"
