In desperate need of better signage., the black and blue burger was really good. The waiter was trying really hard but not around when needed. I will be back. Not many options for a good burger in sanford.

This is one of the worse restaurants/bars in this town. Avoid unless you want HIV, Roaches and Fleas. The entire place smells like an astray as well.

This place is the absolute best! The servers get to know you quickly and even if we don't go for 6 months, they will greet us by name and drink! The food is amazing. It's that simple. While the wings or pizza alone will fill you up, both my husband and I always get both because it's soooo good. I love the Rio Rancho pizza while he has Joe's. We typically get hot/garlic wings. My only wish is that it didn't smell like smoke sometimes.

Love love love Joe's- They have the best wings in town hands down... and their staff is amazing- always warm, welcoming, and attentive. I've always had great times and will always recommend!

I’ve been here a few times and everything has been great! I’ve gotten the salty dog pizza, chicken Caesar wrap and a burger and it was all excellent. The fries are my ideal fry. Menu has tons of unique options as well as staples. Service is fast and

Went here recently, the guy with the glasses was really rude. He started cussing and said he didn't come to our table because someone in our group didn't tip him last time they went. The entire atmosphere felt very hostile. Another employee didn't seem to realize what was going on and decided to add her own little comment about the tip as well. Owner needs to do something about that guy and his willingness to take his anger out on the customer. No other bar I've went to treated us this bad.

Turned 21 recently and I’m still new to the bar scene. Decided to come here for the first time to meet up with my cousin and his wife with my gf. Had two friends that tagged along as well. As soon as I came in, a guy got me a drink and I was good for now. The two friends that tagged along said the bartenders usually come back to see how it’s going but they never did. So i went up to order shots for me and my cousin. Turns out one of the friends that drinks there doesn’t tip and when I was closing my tab. The guy bartender literally said to my buddy “the reason I didn’t go over to your table is because you’ve came in the past and order $70 worth of drinks and never fu&$@ing tip.” I understand this but then the lady bartender started going off on me and and my cousin about tipping and we tried to tell her this is our first time even coming here. The lady was rude for no reason?. Not to mention they almost charged me for two coronas when I ordered one. Sure I tipped a small amount but becuz it was bad service and then being rude. I went up again to talk it out and the guy apologized and he was sincere and didnt mean for me to get in the crossfire but the girl apologized but clearly didn’t care. To add on, they were pretty loud about it and grabbed the attention of the whole place. Everyone was staring at us. Kinda embarrassing when me and my cousin didn’t do anything wrong.There could’ve been better ways to approach my friend that doesn’t tip but to drag other people in it and cause a scene when we’ve never stepped foot in there was unprofessional. First experience here was bad but I’ll give the second star for the the guy apologizing.
