Customer Reviews

"I go into restaurants intending to give 5 stars - I really do. I don't want to make a difficult job harder than it needs to be, and restaurant-ing is not easy. That said, did not have the best experience here. Seems a little worn inside, but that may be the vibe folks like, but it didn't sit too well with me. Food started on a high note with the tortilla soup - not bad at all: hardy and flavorful with a little bite of heat. A bit downhill from there. I then had the Mexican Combo Plate and my mate had BLT on whole wheat toast, no mayo. The latter came with mayo - we don't like to waste food so we kept it to ourselves, trusting they would have gladly replaced it. The tomatoes were a little less than ripe. My plate was passable but hardly inspiring. Little hard to identify by taste what the sauce was that smothered the burrito, it was just kinda congealed, brown possibly oniony stuff. Staff were pleasant enough, but seemed ready for closing time. I like to give places more chances, so I'll be back - not sure my mate will be, however - and will update if there is an improvement."

"Busy on the weekends. Classic diner food, great service, and good prices. Definitely a smaller spot but it has its merits. I have been several times and every time I got good service, food came fast, and I definitely recommend going here instead of a Dennys or IHOP."

- Danny G.

"Stopped by for breakfast here, it was a pleasant experience. This is not a gourmet place, nor is it priced as one. Amazing value, as you can get a decent breakfast for almost the same as a carton of eggs at a grocery store. Seems like a family operated place, didn't ask, but definitely gives off the genuine care vibe. Basically if you're hungry and don't want to break a bank and still get great service, this is absolutely a place!"

"First time at Joe's and it did not disappoint. We entered expecting a typical homey diner and that was exactly what we found. Seat yourself, quick, friendly service, and good coffee - we were off to a great start. The prices were reasonable and the portions were sizable. Between the three of us we had eggs, pancakes, hash browns, omelets and toast. Everything was excellent. We are coming back soon to try out lunch. Thanks for an excellent beginning to our Saturday!!"

- Robin G.

"We had a great experience at Joe's Cafe. They were able to seat our party of six quickly on a Sunday afternoon. Service was great. The food was delicious and portions were large. Next time we are in the Denver area we will be eating at Joe's Cafe."
