Joe's Diner - revisited

We posted about Joe's Diner on Sycamore a while back and wanted to post a follow-up about our visits since their 'soft' opening. We have been back 3 or 4 times since and have really enjoyed each visit. Their menu is a lot bigger than it looks and even on our last visit, my fifth visit to Joe's, I was finding things I had never even noticed on the menu. Lately we have had friends and family specifically request to go there when they are visiting downtown, which is a rare thing. Usually people come down and leave the food choices to us because they tend to not know the options, so Joe's must be getting some decent press.

Last time we visited I also finally tried the chicken and waffles that get much praise on Urban Spoon. I've never had that combo before, so it's hard to truly judge, but it was really good and they make a fine waffle.

I think they are still finding their footing a bit with the way things run, but each time we visit they seem to be getting better. It seems like it's really becoming a neighborhood diner; the staff are all very friendly and there's always a good amount of people dining when we go in. We'll definitely continue visiting and hope Joe's is here to stay.
