text: It is not that I did not enjoy my food and the service It just did not live up to my experience at other Joes I have been to I have been to Joes in two other cities and had better more memorable experiences nnTo some extent we felt rushed Only a few minutes after taking our drink order the server came back three times asking if we were ready to order I felt pressured to make a choice The drinks and appetizers came out very quickly as did our main meal Too quickly We had barely dug into the appetizers when the entrees were brought out Usually this is not that big an issue but when you are having one of the hot pots you basically have to start eating it right away because who likes cold crab legs or clams We were there on a Saturday night so perhaps they are set up so they can have a quick turn around and get a lot of people through with minimal wait times but I personally like to take time to savor my meals nnIf you like food with a kick I highly recommend the great balls of fire appetizer Filled with flavor but with just the right amount of spice to not kill your tastebudsnnFor an entree I had the Joes Classic steam pot It was tasty but did not seem as flavorful as I had expected My dining companion had chicken tenders and he thought they were very tasty It is nice that they have options like steak and chicken tenders at a restaurant that focuses on seafood Many similiar locations have far fewer optionsnnOverall food was decent and service was OK There are just a lot more restaurants that I would prefer to visit again or for the first time before I will come back to Joes
