Joe's Italian Restaurant

"I’m actually quite surprised with how many of the reviews that say this place has good food…. It doesn’t. Nice waiter! Very kind! But the food… no"

"Don’t know if I’ll give this place another chance. Haven’t ordered in months because they got my order wrong twice before. The last time I just went ahead and took the food. For some reason this place puts cheese on top of a pepperoni pizza. I have no idea why because every other place doesn’t. Knowing this is the way they do it, I specifically asked for them to put the pepperoni on top of the cheese so they get crispy. I’m just not going to pay for something I didn’t order. Whoever took the order needs to start paying attention. I may try one more time, after that I’m done."

"This is my regular spot. If I’m going out to eat there’s no other place I’d rather go. The food was truly amazing. The service was excellent. I got steak and it was cooked exactly how I wanted it. My wife got fettuccine Alfredo and she loved it. The kids menu was perfect. 10/10 recommend and definitely going back."

"I would give negative stars for service if I could. I have tried to eat here twice... 1. After seating us, a waitress appeared with lots of attitude to inform us she was too busy to serve my fiancé and I. We were asked to leave. It was 6:30 pm. 2. Made it to the appetizer that the server brought out. Unfortunately, it was the wrong appetizer. When we mentioned this, she stomped to the kitchen to fetch the cold stuffed mushrooms. We ordered and waited. 15 min. later, our server, who at this point was full of attitude, informs us the oven was broken and they could not prepare our order. As we left without dinner, I heard the server take an order for what I had ordered, baked lasagna and a pizza. I think they were going to need that broken oven to start working in a hurry. I have been told that since the owners had opened a second restaurant and were not really at Joe's much anymore... maybe they will read this and start paying attention to what has been happening at Joe's. I hope so as I love good Italian food but have only cold stuffed mushrooms and a glass of tea to write about."

"We had a wonderful meal. Best Italian in East Texas. I highly recommend the tour of Italy and Lobster Ravioli. The bread is fresh and warm. Lovely ambiance. If you have room for it- the chocolate cheesecake dessert was phenomenal."
