Googled a place close with French toast and Joe's popped up! Thought I'll give it a try while in town. I got French toast and biscuits and gravy and I promise you it's seriously the best breakfast I've ever had since my grandmother's or father's. The owner made AMAZING food and my waitress was AWESOME! I will be driving the 45minutes to bring my family to this resteraunt! I cannot imagine how good the rest of the food is!!! I would give them 10 stars if I could!!!!!

Melissa is always very friendly and checks on us frequently and we always have a warm up of coffee without chasing someone down. We highly recommend Joe's as we go here with my mother every Monday. Thanks guysParking: Am able to park up front so my 76 year pld mother don't have to walk far :)

Great morning breakfast place! I had the western skillet and it was delivered hot to the table. My coffee cup never got low and the staff was very attentive. A mix of booths and tables fill this small storefront which provides a variety of seating options. Check it out if you're around!

The server and cashier were very nice people but the food was pretty bad.

Best service we’ve had in a very long time! This place is a well-oiled machine. Staff worked their tails off on a VERY busy Sunday morning of Purdue’s family weekend. Will definitely return.

Very clean building, really kind front-of-house staff. The food is just so unbelievably mediocre. Prices are good, but I would rather just make the stuff on their menu myself. Some of the stuff just tastes like it's from a can from Walmart. Nothing seems homemade. The Gyro is also more expensive than ones at Akropolis, and nowhere near the same quality.Parking: No

I waited 30 minutes to be sat, which was fine because they were busy. During the wait I observed the kitchen cooks, wait staff and bussers. The cooks touched all the food without gloves, this is fine since they are only touching food. However, the wait staff, cashier and bussers were all making toast without washing their hands. I saw the buss boy clean a table had others people food on his hands, then set his bucket down beside the toaster and dropped toast!!! Cashier and wait staff was the same way....took the money, cleaned tables and then dropped toast. This should be in the kitchen since no one washes their hands and this is unsafe for the customer eating the toast.

Great diner. We've heard so many great things about Joe's but could never make it through the years because of our work schedules (Joe's is exclusively breakfast & lunch). Finally made it last week for a late brunch. Great visit: excellent food, nice portions, reasonable prices, staff was great, everything was clean & the atmosphere was enjoyable. 3 of us went for a late Sunday brunch & were all pleased. Everything was cooked to order & customized to our requests. The wait staff was helpful with our questions, gave suggestions & made sure we were happy with everything once it arrived. The restaurant is neat, clean & the staff was cheerful-even got into a fun extended conversation with a few. The atmosphere was fun between many of the guests as well. We'd noticed one group having such a great conversation we somehow joined in with them for a bit! Really added to the experience and I have a feeling this is normal. Nice vibe there where you feel like striking up a conversation with anyone. I've heard tons of good things about their non-breakfast meals so we'll be back soon to give that a try. Really happy for these folks to have made it through the thin times of the pandemic while lots of other non-chain eateries folded. Definitely worth checking out!
