| Comments: | I've ate here over a dozen times and have enjoyed it every visit. It's a great "feel-good" place. They always make me feel comfortable even when dining alone. It's a lot of fun to listen to the music and watch the servers dance. I'm always in a good mood when I leave. |

| Comments: | This is a fun restaurant for Johnson County, although decidedly not for the snooty blue-bloods. If you can have fun in a loud atmosphere that encourages freedom, then this is your place. If you want a bib and to be pampered while waiting to see and be seen, then try the Bristol. If you want fun, eat at Joes! |

| Comments: | If you want fun this is the place. If you want GOOD seafood stay away. All entres were cold except the peel and eat shrimp It was warm. Most everything was cold when brought to the table . You might as well tell the wait staff three times for what ever you need it seems to be the magic
number. |

| Comments: | I was seriously disappointed in the service and quality of food. I ordered a combo plate that had crab legs & fish. The fish was over cooked and dry. The crab legs were so over cooked that I could not get them from the shell. Living in the Wash D.C. I became spoiled to the wonderful crab legs served there. I guess I expected a restaurant that proports to serve seafood to take the same time & quality to prepare their seafood. Too much to ask for the MidWest. The waiter did not care. Too interested in his desire to be somewhere else. |

| Comments: | you changed the size of your King crabs legs but the price remained the same. Too small. You know those crab legs are the size of snow crab. I won't pay king price for snow. Can do better at every other place. I love to come on Mondays my day off. so I quit coming. Please bring back the stuffed peppers with crab. They were high but I didn't mind it. They are so good. I ue to go every Monday but, I felt cheated. I don't get full for $24.00-27.00 |
