Home made soups and meals, Hand carved sandwiches. Friendly and cozy atmosphere. Turkey lovers sandwich is the best!

What a fantastic little spot for lunch! I visited for the first time today, and the lady there was incredibly friendly and helpful. I went with an Italian sub, and it was absolutely delicious. The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel at home. I definitely recommend Joy's!

The customer service at this place is better than that of some five-star restaurants I've visited. When my group arrived, we received a warm welcome. Our orders were taken promptly, and the food was served in no time. The staff was particularly considerate of my daughter, bringing her a few small treats. We all really enjoyed our Italian subs. This is a charming little spot by the roadside with a big heart. Be sure to tip the staff generously! If I find myself in the area again, I'll be sure to bring all my friends.

This was my first time to Joy's. Joy took the time to explain the menu to me even though she was extremely busy. I had the Italian sub and the unstuffed green pepper soup. The sandwich was better than any other sandwich shop in the area. But the best part was the green pepper soup. It was the best I've ever had. Will definitely be back again to try the pasties. Will definitely recommend Joy's to anyone who asks.

One of the best sub sandwiches I have had in a long time. All the ingredients were fresh and it was quickly prepared. The service was friendly and efficient. It is a small place with a simple dining room, probably 6 tables. And it was very clean also. The prices are reasonable considering the size of the sandwich, I got 2 meals out of my sub. I will go there again.
