“I thought it would be half done but it was perfectly cooked and delicious 😋”
I'm disappointed. I came for Greasy Spoon comfort breakfast and got hashtans and unbeaten scrambled eggs.
The young girl behind the counter was not nice and had an attitude.
Came in for a morning breakfast & the food was not up to par. I thought maybe I came in on a bad day.

“First time visiting Joe’s grill and I was pleasantly surprised.”
First time visiting Joe’s grill and I was pleasantly surprised. From the outside looks of this place I did not expect to find a small little dinner. The prices for what they offer are great! I bought the breakfast special and got eggs with cheese, two pancakes, and two pieces of ham for 5 dollars! You can’t beat this price! The pancakes are a great size as well, it definitely filled me up. Don’t let the outside stop you from going in and trying this place.

My wife and I visit this place today, and all I can say is that the breakfast was very very good, in big amounts, and at a very very reasonable price! 👍 I will be coming back but with my father-in-law, wife & kids. 👌

“Shoot which one? There are actually two Joe's Grill restaurants on 51st & Racine.I don't know how that came about.”
Shoot which one? There are actually two Joe's Grill restaurants on 51st & Racine.I don't know how that came about. I got a burger and fries from both places.(I couldn't choose which one) The burgers were okay and the fries really good. Are both Joe restaurants owned by the same person? They're across the street from each other, would love to know this back story. Guess when I try the breakfast it'll be from both Joe's Grill restaurants too.
