I guess I am in the minority, but I didnt think this place was that good. My kids even said mom this tastes like that pizza you make from a box". It was OK, but not worth the price. more

The garlic breadstick (one is enough to feed one person) here is to die for. It's a small loaf of bread with garlic butter for dipping. yum! My husband doesn't care for garlic butter, so he orders his with marinara instead. more

Nothing special. If non-chain eat-in pizza is your thing, you might like it. Otherwise, forget it. more

If you don't go for the food, you've got to at least see the beautiful stained glass windows and how the building has kept much of its original look. Our waitress was great and the food was good and a fair price. Would definitely eat there again. more

I have been eating at Joe B's for over 20 years and my husband & I still eat there on a semi regular basis. I love the place. I think the food is consistently good.

No idea why people go here. I went here with high expectations and hearing of their delicious gralic bread sticks. Not impressed at all. If you like bread on top of a pool of butter then good for you, but it's not for me. The pizza is pretty bad too. Save your money and go elsewhere. more

Consistent menu and consistent quality. If you like garlic, get a bread stick. if you do not, get one anyway just to say you did. The Carrot cake is always good, but be sure to try any "cake" specially prepared by Joe. more
