I'm so glad this place has flourished. They have great cocktails & appetizers. And service is consistently on point. It *might be* a little pricey, but like.... so it's everything these days. Paid $50 for 2 cocktails and an entree.... is that too much? I dunno, but we had a great time. It's a good atmosphere for birthdays and celebrations.

Very nice restaurant. Enjoyed our meal. Conveniently located close to hotel & other restaurants. Clean inside and out. The patio is nice, even had corn-hole game. We had a reservation & were quickly seated. The wait staff helpful & polite. Ours was in training, understandably things took a little longer but given in training that’s fine, everything came out correctly & without issue. Staff were attentive to needs even as other tables filled. The menu had a good selection, they have vegetarian, vegan & gluten free options. The prices were reasonable & portions were of good size. Food came out hot, & cooked right. I enjoyed the spinach artichoke dip with fried pitta bread. My Wagyu Black & Blue burger came out nicely. The Tacos were good. The salad was a good size & fresh. Military friendly discount. Or, if you stay at the holiday inn around the corner, our room key had a 10% discount offer. Good easy parking or you can make the quick walk from the holiday inn. I would certainly return again based on the experience & would recommend the establishment.

I was in Okemos Michigan for a work meeting and looked around for some food places before I took the trip home and I found this gem. It's a fairly new place with an open atmosphere, a nice bar area and plenty of seating inside and outside. I sat at the bar and ordered a drink and a couple of appetizers. Joe's Rum Punch, bang bang shrimp, and cheese curds. The cheese curds were very well done. The Wisconsin cheddar paired with the crispy, flavorful coating made for a good combination. I enjoyed these but knew I would have to take some home. The bang bang shrimp was fantastic and I finished all of the appetizer. The presentation was what did it. The sauce and slaw were laid down first on the plate and then the shrimp on top. This allowed me to apply the perfect amounts of sauce to each of the shrimp instead of getting too much sauce on the shrimp and making everything soggy. I recommend this place and how I have a chance to cover back and try some entree's.

Great service! Good food. Pizza, not as flavorful as I personally would like and I was able to enhance it when I got home with herbs and additional parmesean, BUT, I absolutely loved the crust as it had perfect texture and flavor. This could easily become a #1 spot for pizza. The bang bang shrimp was great with perfect bang.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Joe’s On Jolly Joe’s On Jolly has a really nice atmosphere, and I was genuinely excited to try it based on word of mouth. The presentation of the food was impressive, but overall the flavors didn’t quite live up to the expectations. I sampled the giant pretzel, Joe’s chicken wings, and the buttermilk chicken sandwich. The pretzel itself was well-made—soft on the inside with a firm outer shell and good flavor. Unfortunately, the cheese dip missed the mark. It was very thin, lacked viscosity, and didn’t add much flavor. I prefer a cheese dip that clings to the pretzel and enhances each bite, and this one didn’t do that. The chicken wings had a great seasoning blend, but it seemed to be sprinkled on after frying. After the first bite, most of the seasoning was gone, leaving the rest of the wing tasting like plain fried chicken. I tried a few more pieces hoping it was just the first one, but the experience was the same. For my entrée, I ordered the buttermilk chicken sandwich on a pretzel bun—usually one of my favorite combinations. The lemon coleslaw added a nice touch, but the chicken itself tasted unseasoned, almost as if it had been fried and then topped with garnish aft
