The staff was friendly and courteous. Greeted with a smile as soon as you walk in. 1st time here and a young lady greeted me and told me how it works. I will be back since my daughter cheers a couple of doors down and we are here 2-3 times a week. Everything was great.

I stopped in for lunch today and had the baked chicken with stuffing—it was excellent! The meal felt like real home cookin’, comforting and flavorful. The portion size was just right, and everything tasted fresh. Local Joes has that cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you want to come back. Definitely a spot I’ll return to when I’m craving a hearty, homemade-style meal!

I highly recommend Local Joe's! The food was delicious. I had shrimp and grits with a side of macaroni and cheese. It was a pleasure to meet Nancy and Joe! They are very hospitable and will make you feel right at home. I felt like I was at my mom's for Sunday dinner. Wonderful experience!

HOLY SMOKES this place is fantastic! From the moment you walk in, you feel the warmth of the staff and the comfort of the food - it’s palpable. Everyone is so kind, the food is delicious, large portions (didn’t stop me from licking my plate clean), and the free cookie at the end made me have to go back for dessert. 5 stars!! Worth your business! They also employ specially gifted young adults, which speaks to the integrity of the owners. Welcome back Joe and team!!

Food was absolutely amazing. I had the salmon, rice, mashed potatoes, green beans, cornbread, and a roll. Everything was perfect. I came in here because there was a rainstorm passing over and I'm very glad I chose this place to come into. 10/10.

The food was delicious! If you love fish and they have the Grouper when you’re there-get it! Local Joes is cafeteria style so grab a tray and utensils. The ladies on the line greeted us with smiles and were constantly refreshing the food. It was our first time, but not our last.

I love a good meat and three and this iplace just hits the spot. Food is seasoned well, delicious, great portion sizes and the friendliest people working here. Everything I’ve tried is so good but the cabbage, twiced baked potato casserole and hush puppies are my personal favorites.
