Joe's Original - Smith Mills

We were provided with another great meal at Joe's original. There were some new items on the short menu billed as a seafood casserole and Joe's version of a stuffy, Both were fantastic. My wife had the salmon which was cooked perfectly. We ended the meal with the strawberry shortcake dessert, which was rich and not overly sweet. The shortcake biscuit used could be a dessert by itself. 

The manager Jen, who has become our friend, always makes sure that our experience is perfect! From the quality of the food to the service that we receive from all who work at Joe's Original. I have never met anyone who works at this restaurant that I did not like.

We are careful at choosing what restaurants we go to in the new Bedford area. One of our favorites is Joe's. Unfortunately, today's experience was well below the normal expected dining experience. The meals started off with the ahi tuna wonton over cucumber and the chicken, tender appetizer. Both were overcooked, and the chicken was stringy and tough. Our main course consisted of chicken piccata and jambalaya. The chicken piccata was reasonable, but again not the quality of the chicken breast that we have been previously accustomed to. The jambalaya was made with a sauce that was greasy and not very flavorful. Again a disappointment. All of. This is a total surprise to us. The next time that we decide to go out for a meal, we will have to be compelled for a good reason in order to have Joe's as our first choice, again. 

The chicken piccata is the best anywhere! Love it and desserts are great too. Hope you bring back the Strawberry Shortcake in season. Really look forward to it!! Travel 45 minutes to visit your family friendly restaurant!!

Never a made meal here, very accommodating for seating change from outdoor to indoor. Very attentive and informative about gluten free options. Joes is our go to for spur of the moment dinner plans!
