Joe’s Older Than Dirt: Reviews & Ratings
We went there for a presentation from 15 Stars Distillery. Before it started we went to the bar to get a few drinks. We are very happy at the selection and especially the pricing for some very good whiskey and bourbon
Fantastic live music. Great place to go for college basketball or football. Good food. Reasonably priced drinks.
The food was awesome and so was the service. We got the Kitchen Sink Nacho's, brisket platter and the BBQ burger. First time ever eating street corn, loved it! We also got loaded tots (not pictured) because I devoured those bad boys. SOOO good!
It was too loud and cold. They didn't turn the heaters on in the main room where the band was. Band was turned up way too loud for the size of the venue/number of people. I had to text the person sitting next to me to communicate, couldn't hear him shouting in my ear! Had one drink and called it a night. Not the best NYE but could have been worse.
The waitress Kat was phenomenal as were the Managers , Our experience didn't start out the best but ended on a high note. We will definitely be coming back to give them another try.
I came to Joe’s today bc google maps suggested it after going to another terrible place first (thank God for that) looking for some lunch. I had never been to this part of the city. This place is amazing and the food spectacular. The vibe and decoration is a 10/10. Lindsey is absolutely the best. Thank you for your suggestions and thanks to those in the kitchen that prepared the food so well, it was delicious. I had the fried fish with potatoes chips. Food was in the right temperature and texture. I loved it. I’m definitely coming back to Joe’s older than Dirt along with mi family and friends. If it was this nice on a Wednesday afternoon I imagine weekends must be spectacular.
We were there for a reunion and had a good time. Parking was at a premium but once inside the atmosphere was great. The band was good and the bar service was quick. Even though we did not order any food, from what I saw it looked good. The wait staff working the floor was impressive the way they navigated all the people to take care of the customers.
Plenty of space to sit indoors and out. Friendly staff and owner. Trivia night is especially fun. Tried pretty much all of the appetizers and all of them were good. I was not optimistic about the corn cobs, but with the parmesan and mayo they were my favorite. The medium buffalo sauce was delicious on the wings. If you like spicy I recommend going hotter, but for our group the medium wings were perfect.
