    It was mentioned before, don't let the bars on the window fool you. If you pass up this place, you've passed up great BBQ.
    Stopped in the first time, based on yelp ratings. My addition stops are because the food is awesome and the staff is very friendly.
    Don't miss this place.  I time my trips through Montgomery so I can stop here.

    The best damn ribs I've ever at outside my own grill and backyard. They were amazing and hot. It was fresh and seasoned to perfection. This little spot is a gem right in the middle of the hood just like I like. When traveling I love to eat at local mom and pop restaurants and when I stumbled upon this one by accident I didn't regret it for one minute.

    The lady at the front was very pleasant, friendly and professional. The next time that I stop in Alabama I will be making a special trip just to get these ribs.

    Food menus ... One of the best place in the city ... A hidden gem of good southern foods ...

    Ummm, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but my experience was very unimpressive, in lighter terms. You want honesty? Well here goes....the fried chicken was dry, bland and tasted (and appeared) as though it was leftovers from the previous day and dropped in the grease again to serve. If that isn't the case then it was just really bad chicken. Unseasoned, dry chicken is an abomination. I was told that the pound cake was homemade but it didn't taste homemade but rather store bought. The best tasting thing was the mac n cheese.

    On another note, the young man taking orders was very prompt and delivered friendly service. The restaraunt is very small inside and not ideal for dining in.

    I wanted to love this place based upon its reviews but it's a no for me . Complete waste of money here as I discarded majority of my food.

    I don't live in Montgomery so I don't know the good places to eat and wouldn't have gone here if not for the number of rave reviews in Yelp.  I am an adventurous eater.   I like trying new places and love finding good "hole in the wall" restaurants.  Joe's Again is definitely a hole in the wall.   It is also popular given my time there today.

    When you walk in the first impression is how small it is.   There are only 5 tables. The biggest will sit 3 people.  So most people come in and get their order to-go.  The woman at the counter is as friendly and welcoming as I have seen in a long time.   She just wanted to make everything right.

    I took two of my team with me.  I got the ribs,  another got a polish sausage dog,  the other got the Joe's burger.   Let's start with the burger.   First off, it was BIG.  If you're really hungry,  get this. The polish sausage was big as well.   Both guys said they would come back to this place.   My ribs were good but a little tougher than really good ribs should be.   The BBQ sauce seemed to be from a bottle.   Next time I will likely try the wings.   There will definitely be a next time.

    Joe's may not be in the best part of town.  But they are right of I-65.  If you don't stop here and try them out then you are missing out on some good cooking.  For me,  this is a come back restaurant!

    *Update*
    Well, I did come back and this time I ordered the wings. They are a good size with a good amount of meat on them.   There are lots of sauces to choose from.   I went with the Joe's sauce.  If he names it after himself then it must be special,  right?  It was medium-hot with a touch of smokiness to it.   Like most people who like spicy food,  I want a bite of heat, but not too much.   The Joe's sauce was near the top of my personal heat scale.

    I will order the wings again for my next visit.   But,  I will explore the various sauces to see if I can find a favorite.

    Finally,  the service from the cashier was just as good.   This lady has a genuinely generous heart and makes me like Joe's Again even more.  Great customer service isn't as common as it should be.

    Bonus Tip: The bathroom light switch is outside of the bathroom, opposite the door.   They like to turn off the light to save electricity.
