Editorial Review for Original Joe's Restaurant – by Cecily Barnes
The Scene
The brown window coverings are nearly always drawn, creating a dimly lit ambience ideal for a martini or an intimate meal. There's no need to fight for one of the cozy, brown leather booths, because this is all the restaurant has. Only counter dwellers pass up the opportunity to sink into one of these sleepable, seating spots.
The Food
The menu includes nearly 100 choices of Italian-American cuisine. Customers can order everything from the sloppy tomato meatball sandwich on French bread to the chicken parmigiana. A few specialty items including the prime rib, roast pork and baked ham are served only on the weekends. And you can catch the clam chowder only on Fridays.

Joe's recently re-opened after being closed all summer for remodeling. Still the same great italian food with new booths, counter-tops and stools. Glad to have them back. Always fun.
Cons: Always a wait during peak hours

i heard such great things about oj's. but, i got to be honest, it wasn't that great. what's ironic is that even though servings are so huge you can't finish, you don't want to take the leftovers home with you.
Pros: cool interior, old school feel
Cons: food is mediocre
