We get Joes every few weeks. I've never been to the establishment as my husband always calls and picks up on the way home. It's a fairly quick-service take out only joint. I always opt for the bbq chicken sandwich with slaw on the side and potato wedges and they are so yummy! We are about 15 minutes from the restaurant and the food is piping hot even after we arrive home. They do an excellent job on the food, packing and bagging, and from what my husband's relays-the service is great as well! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

Among the many items they do right at this small place is chicken sandwiches - they list a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, and just leave off the hot sauce for a different version!The chicken sandwich is not large but it is flavorful, and it is nicely cooked so that it remains tender, and is not dried out! And at $7.75 this is a nice value.

A friend had recommended Joe's Take Out for their Hot Dogs, so being hot dog lovers, Carolyn and I have it a try. Now, first, understand that I rarely give 5-stars, and when it comes to hot dogs I rate them on a scale of 1 = great, 2 = good, 3= Decent, 4 = OK, and 5 = Don't waste your time. Joe's dogs get a 2. It is a good hot dog.Joe's is truly a take-out place; although, they do have a few tables outside. There is no place inside to sit and eat a dog. It was 95 degrees, so we ate in the car. We ordered the Carolina Classic (mustard, chili, onions, slaw). The bun was nicely toasted. Onions were fresh and crisp. Dog was all beef and was a tad tough. Chili had nice flavor. Slaw was good. Darn few dogs make the GREAT list, so as a GOOD this is worth trying.Our order included tots and onion rings. Both were cooked well, as we like them. The onion rings were a touch bready, but were tasty. Tots were good and crispy.Joe's offers a variety of hot dogs (see menu insert), as well as burgers and other sandwiches. You can order from their list, or build your own with a wide range of toppings.They have bottled soft drinks, along with sweet tea and lemonade. They will mix for you.If you're looking for a GOOD Carolina dog, this is one to check out.Service was friendly, and quick. Dogs were served in a foam tray with lots of room. They at 3:00 p.m. Indoor seating would help, but it does say "take our".We highly recommend Joe's Take Out when you are looking for a quick lunch.

This little hidden gem in Clemmons is a great find. Focusing just on take out, they had a great niche during lockdowns. There are a few tables on the sidewalk but make no mistake this is not designed to be a dine in establishment.The staff were very friendly. The guys behind the register and cooking seemed young and goofy, but did their jobs well with smiles. The owner came out and talked to us for a while and was an incredibly nice guy. You can really tell he is a hard worker and would do anything to make a business succeed.As for food: I got the loaded Mac and cheese, which has endless options. The one I chose had pulled pork, tater tots, a house-made chipotle sauce, and more. It was easily two full servings worth of food, and heated up well the next day when I had the second half. It was a touch greasy but not to an extreme. Apparently they make their own cheese sauce for the Mac, and smoke their own meats in house, and you can really tell the quality is there.We also got the Smokehouse Brisket Burger on a hoagie. It was actually not what we had wanted (they had advertised a cheeseburger sub that we wanted) but likely a simple miscommunication. Unfortunately this smokehouse sandwich was not very good, with burnt tasting sauce and an excessively oily serving that left the bread dripping oil. It was not appetizing and we mostly didn't eat it. All that said, I will absolutely come back here. I wouldn't get the smokehouse sandwich but there are many other great menu options and I'm very impressed with the attitude of the owner and focus on quality house made ingredients. This is definitely worth a try one night on the way home from work.

If I could give a Negative I would.. Oh my GOSH!! This place is the worst !! My wife and daughter stopped in this afternoon and for once they had burnt ends and boy they were burnt alright!! Definitely inedible had as a rock and smothered in extra bbq sauce. We were so disappointed wasted money on not 1 but 2 plates of crap, because that is what is was and I'm sure they knew . You ought to be ashamed selling people junk in this economy. So for all you people thinking of purchasing burnt ends from here , better think twice .. Buyer Beware!!

Really impressed with this place! To be honest I was nervous everything was just going to greasy and fried but I was PLEASANTLY surprised and we loved everything we got! First off, just like the name says, it's a take out place. They do have a few seats outside though. They have a good variety of food options and also have plenty of daily specials that they post on Facebook as well as on some boards inside. We got the chicken street tacos, 1/2 rack ribs, peanut butter bacon jam smash burger, and a Chicago dog. I opted to get my tacos without any cilantro and asked for a side of their chipotle cream that I saw on the burger/hot dog toppings list and wow, I absolutely loved these. They are PACKED with chicken, but I do think the chipotle cream was necessary to make it as good as it was. My husband and I split the burger and ribs. The ribs fell off the bone and were cooked perfectly, the sauce was a little more tomato-y than I prefer, but otherwise still really good. I was nervous about having peanut butter on my burger but it was GOOD! The sweetness of the jam with the crunch and savory of the burger, peanut butter and bacon went together so well. My husband had the Chicago dog, his first ever, and the said it was good. He doesn't have anything to compare it to but it was loaded with toppings and he would get that or another hot dog again. I love the wide variety of their menu and can't wait to try more options, like their famous street corn and the brisket tacos (with another side of chipotle cream!).Don't miss out on this hidden gem!

As you see in the name, it's a takeout spot, so for the "ambiance" there is not much to say. The service was good, very quick and helpful. We picked up the food to eat it while at the Tanglewood lights. To start off, the street corn was BOMB. We love us some corn, and it did not disappoint. The hot dogs were also great, from the choice of bun, to the actual hot dog, to the toppings, all amazing. We also really enjoyed the mac and cheese, but maybe it wasn't our healthiest choice. all overall great.

My wife and I are always looking for something new to us that also has positive reviews. On a late Saturday afternoon, we were trying to decide where to grab something to eat. We were headed to Clemmons and remembered Joe's. They get great reviews. So, we thought we would check it out. We knew it was a small location primarily for take out and very close to Tractor Supply, which we also like. We arrived about 4pm and it was not too busy. There were others placing orders and some picking up orders. We were second in line and when it was our turn to order, we said we needed a few minutes. After we reviewed the menu board behind the counter, we made our decisions and said we were ready to order with a few questions. My wife chose the brisket plate with two sides. For the sides she got sweet potato fries and potato salad. I chose the Smokehouse brisket burger with mac and cheese.There is no seating inside because it is a take out place but there are about five small tables outside. It appeared that most people just get the take out and leave. We decided to grab a table and eat there. The person from the counter brought our food to us in to-go containers and we proceeded to dig in. Everything was packaged nicely for transport and included napkins and plastic silverware packets. My wife was really impressed with the brisket and enjoyed the sweet potato fries and potato salad. I thought the burger was delicious and the mac and cheese was good as well, maybe a little overcooked but it had a gentle tang to it and was tasty. This was a pretty cool experience for something we might have normally looked over. We recommend you check them out and we will be back to try something else.
