Little Original Joe's - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was outstanding from start to finish. I encountered a minor issue when trying to place a reservation, but the staff was incredibly courteous and accommodating when I called. Upon arrival, despite the restaurant being extremely busy, they managed everything with impressive organization and pleasantness. Our waiter was attentive, and the support staff was equally on point. We savored the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka and Truffle Cavatelli, both of which were cooked to perfection and tasted absolutely out of this world.

We visited on a Sunday in October without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to only wait 20 minutes for a table! The food, service, and vibes were amazing! We started with the zucchini fries, which were incredible, though a generous portion for two. For our mains, we enjoyed the vodka rigatoni, but the absolute star of the show was the prime rib dip – truly the best sandwich I've ever had! I would return again and again just for that. Despite being very full, we indulged in dessert, the strawberries & cream, which was another winner. I visited with my husband while traveling from Australia, and while it's a great spot for couples, it would also be a fun place for a girls brunch. The cocktails were also so good!

My experience at this restaurant on Chestnut Street was very positive. I really liked the great salad and pizza. The atmosphere and vibe were very fun, complemented by really good service. It’s important to note that the place is always crowded, so planning a visit during the week or making a reservation is advisable if you don't want to wait. I recommend this place!

My friends and I visited LOJ’s on a bachelorette trip and lucked out with a reservation. The food was great, but what truly made our experience was our wonderful waitress, Brittney. Upon being seated, she greeted us and asked each one of our names. All evening, she spoke to us using our names, which made the dinner feel so personal. She was so kind and joyful, and I hope everyone gets to meet Brittney.

My experience at this restaurant was for an upscale Italian meal. While it was pricey, I felt that the quality justified the cost. The atmosphere was great, and the servers were very friendly and personable.

My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative. A rat ran into the dining room from the kitchen and scurried around our table. When we informed our waiter, he dismissed our concerns, stating, “rats run in from outside all the time, we’re in the marina” and “it’s not a big deal. ” The hostess and another waiter also scoffed and brushed off our concerns, indicating that rodent activity is clearly normal for this establishment. Despite the busy atmosphere, the rat moved freely under patrons' seats, and the staff seemed unbothered. Beyond the rodent issue, the food was quite bad and overpriced. The pizza was soggy and doughy, and the pasta was bland, with three different pasta dishes tasting almost identical. We also faced a nearly 30-minute wait to order, and staff repeatedly ignored us when we tried to get their attention. The service was the rudest I have ever encountered.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! If you're looking for a classic Italian American restaurant with a modern flare, this is the place to go. The portions were generous, the service was good, and the food was great.

My experience at the restaurant was very positive. Despite arriving on a Sunday lunchtime without a reservation, the staff at the counter were incredibly friendly and accommodating, seating us at a nice table. The food was described as very decadent and tasty. Our favorite dish was the zucchini fries, which seemed to be a popular choice at every table. The spicy vodka pasta was also very nice, though noted as being more spicy than expected; drizzling lemon juice improved it. The housemade chips were quite good as well. I would love to come back soon.

My experience at this restaurant was wonderful. The ambience was great, and the staff were cool, especially my new friend, Jess. I also enjoyed the fantastic cocktails and food.

My experience at this restaurant offered a great atmosphere, particularly for younger people. However, the service was just okay, with servers being quite pushy. We visited after 10: 30 PM for dessert and drinks, and our server seemed upset that we didn't order a full meal. They then pushed our bill without asking and started cleaning the table while we were still there.
