The Scene – This small shack is instantly distinguishable by Joe's red-and-white block-letter sign proclaiming "Joe Grinds His Own Fresh Chuck Daily," and from the looks of the dining room--papered in glowing newspaper reviews--his work has not been in vain. The segments that remain uncovered reflect diner-standard Formica tabletops and ketchup-red booths. – – The Food – All burgers are cooked to order: well-done, rare or anything in between, and the burger itself comes in three sizes (with prices to match). Diners can get their patties gussied up in a variety of ways…

The Worst Food (Burgers & Fries Included)
by critic8
Our expectations for a good hamburger and fries dinner were dashed at Joe's.
Despite the fuss about the home-ground beef, etc., the beef did not taste any better than most burger joints.
However, the French fries and the fish (in Fish & Chips) were definitely straight from the freezer and both unpalatable.
At $17.50 a pop for each, which included two shakes, for food which was hugely disappointing, only added insult to injury.
Do yourself a favor - stay away from Joe's.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Where do I Start?

Best Hamburger Ever
by DDDLover
Truly lived up to Guy's Recommendation. Joe is outgoing and enjoys his patrons. The chefs put on a show with the meat trimming and grinding. No hamburger can match these, truly the best I have ever had.

Good Burger, But..
by 1tab
The burger was very good, but dont know if it is all that. Small dining area, but service seems to be OK. I saw this on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives so tried it on a visit to the city by the bay. The place is way over priced for a burger, after all it is not made from Prime Rib.
- Pros: Great Burger
- Cons: Over Priced
