The atmosphere and service at Joe's are great. Very sincere, likeable people. They get the sauce right, they get the sides right (in fact, Joe's pit beans are some of the best I've ever had), and they do make incredible root beer. Regrettably, there's no way I can rate their ribs \"A-OK.\" I've had worse, but I've had MUCH better. They are overcooked to death, dried out and virtually \"CANDIED\" in their sauce. The pork cannot be tasted at all and has no texture, just dry mush under a hard carmelized exterior. Sort of reminds me of the babyback ribs at Ruby Tuesdays. Sorry, Joe.
