OJ

Original Joe's

I love the place because of the large Italians working the door and the bar. It makes you think this is the day job for wiseguys.

The food? Pretty good, but not great. I think they do a very good prime rib. The pastas are normal. The menu is very old school. I think the menu was written back in the late fifties and has never changed. The portions are large and it is always busy and open late.

A lot of my friends seem to love the place, but me? Not so much. I don't mind going, especially when someone else is picking up the tab, but it would be very unlikely that I would go on my own.
