What Maynard Homenick doesn't like about Joe Tess Place:
The food was tasty.. BUT VERY EXPENSIVE!! A large catfish dinner is $25 dollars!! I asked for extra pickles and hot sauce. They charge .50 cents for extras. I thought that was seriously ridiculous after paying $25 for a piece of fish. They're getting very greedy. It's been almost 2 years since they've had dine in too. They keep saying they can't find waitresses. This is strange everyone else seems to be able to find... View all feedback. What Jen likes about Joe Tess Place:
A staple. Joe Tess is pretty awesome when you're in the mood for fish. The fish is fried up perfectly every time. It can get a little heavy in the stomach, but worth every bite. They also have a pick-up service that we have used a few times. The restaurant itself is unique, the decor is definitely something to be seen. View all feedback.
