Our hopes were so very high when we pulled into the parking lot and strolled through the epilepsy-inducing decor in the lobby. After deciding on the dip appetizer, which wasn't too bad, our meals arrived, and we looked down, appalled, at what we had ordered. Knowing that Joe's is supposedly "famous" for their seafood, we had such high hopes, but instead, everything was either fried in a tasteless, cardboard-like batter or swimming through a vat of oily gunk. The shrimp I ordered were dumped unceremoniously into a bowl, an entire bowl, full of oil, the potatoes coated in a filth that was revolting to look at and even worse to eat. Even the attempt at garlic bread was tasteless and oily. The salads we had hoped to eat, perhaps, instead of the food, arrived too late to eat, and ended up being the standard-issue, bag-o-salad and dry carrot wisps, coated in a cisco-ranch that was drab. The waiters proceeded to dance around us and it seemed that they were more interested in going home than serving us. All in all, a terrible dining experience. Less than one star.
