Enjoyed our dinner very much! The rustic bread is served warm and complimented the salad well. Steak and fries were delicious and we loved having a second serving. We ordered the chocolate layer cake to share for dessert, also really good. And our server, Juliana, was friendly and helpful. Overall, great value and a new favorite for sure!

Why Esr Anywhere Else?!? I always feel welcome at YNAJoe’s. Every meal that I, family & friends have had here or at their other locales, received a 5-star rating. Today’s Birthday Brunch was my gift to a lovely young woman. When she noted that the salad dressing was not to her taste, the waiter promptly and cheefully brought her a fresh plate of greens and lighter dressing on the side. My tuna tacos were light, crisp, colorfully presented & fresh. The crème brûlée was also perfect and tasty. Ah…another satisfying meal! I’ll be back soon!
