    Our server, Ty, was amazing! So attentive, but not intrusive. He spaced our meal perfectly so we never felt rushed and had time to enjoy each course. The meal itself was incredibly plentiful (we both took half our Thanksgiving plate home) and delicious! We were so glad we chose Joe’s for our holiday celebration!
