Joe's Kitchen in York

First time here and very impressed. Good weekday meal offer with two courses for set price. Food tasted great and service was quick. Staff were friendly and attentive. Would recommend

Joe kitchen ... lovely staff. Lovely premises. .. great background music! Food very nice ... took a while to get to us... but no worries really. But must admit ... could have been warmer... and the chips of my fish and chips weren't that brilliant but just OK. Didn't discuss any of this with staff as it was really. ."ok" and was with my 88 yr old mum who was treating us and didn't want to disappoint her . Would go back as everything else was really nice. Just needs to be faster and warmer. Maybe just an "off" hour or so.

We loved the interior and the polite staff but the food was not something special. The chicken skewers were nice but the kebab was not a big success.

Cozy place with great service and great food. Prices are average for the area. They pay special attention to the little details. If you're in a hurry, you can also pay your bill (and leave tip) directly via their website.

Pleasantly surprised! (if you can't be bothered reading it all please read the end bit about service)Went for our Meerkat Meals 2 for 1 this evening, had the pork salad, fish and chips, bubble and squeak cakes, sweet potato croquettes, side veg and some of the sausages in the 'while you wait' section of the menu. All that, with very generous portion sizes and only the mains actually on 2 for 1 (Meerkat Meals only covers starters and mains) AND 2 medium glasses of red for £35 is incredible value. I didn't expect amazing kind of flavour for that price but actually, all was jolly tasty. I would suggest some lime juice and chilli in the pork salad dressing to liven it up a bit as it's a bit sweet but was perfect for my partner.The best bit however was the service. It's a sad state of affairs dining in the UK at present where I have grown not to expect a high standard of service outside of a table cloth and silverware setting. However, every member of staff at Joe's gave a breath of fresh air with their upbeat, caring and attentive approach. Just enough to feel checked in on, with a little bit extra that didn't encroach on our dining experience. Very good job and thank you to the team, we'll no doubt be coming back.

Overall our experience wasn't bad but I do have a few complaints. For starters the IT equipment was not working which created issues with taking our order. Second there was no soap in the men's bathroom, thus creating the question of whether the employees have clean hands when handling our food and drink.

Friendly service, good food for family meal. In a nice spot in York city centre.

Really great quality food and very cosy place to go eat. Can imagine it's lovely at night when they shove on a load of fairy lights.They also are the first people to introduce me to yet another great Swedish cider in Herrljunga Cider. Definitely worth it if you're already partial to a Kopparberg or Rekorderlig.

Great atmosphere with friendly and attentive service. Food was very delicious. Would come back again!

I have never struggled to get seated here. Food is good and can suit many appetites. I would recommend the camembert to start as a 2 person sharer.Hearty food offered - beef and ale pie, fish and chips, burgers. Perfect visit for a good feed after an afternoon down Coney Street spending your dollar.Quick and friendly service.My tip would be to not get seated by the door, as much as the staff try it does carry a draught through and if there is an influx of people the door is inevitably left open and the cold soon creeps in.
