Very Disappointing
The tap water is fine, but I can't tell you about the quality of the food at Baby Back Joe's. That's because, after waiting for more than an hour, we were never served. Granted, we were seated within 5 minutes and we were waited on about 10 minutes later. After that, we waited. And then we waited. And then we waited some more. (Yes, I had ice water.) By nearly 9pm at night, our section of the restaurant had cleared out. Empty tables surrounded us. Several groups of people who had been seated after us, had already been served. In fact, one such group finished their meals and left. We were still waiting. When we asked, our waitress declined to give any explanation but did guarantee us (three times) we would receive free dessert. We waited another 10 or 15 minutes and left without ever receiving any food at all. Next time we want ribs or BBQ, we'll keep going to our local favorite, not to this unfortunate newbie. At Baby Back Joe's, a very disappointing dining experience was had by all.    [22 Aug 2005 22:07:57]

Great Pork Sandwich
I have eaten in the dining room once and ordered take out twice and the food is consistently delicious. The dining room service was a little slow, I was there at lunch. The food is great though and honestly, I don't usually eat BBQ. Try it and form your own opinion.    [22 Sep 2005 12:23:45]

Tasty!
I've eaten at Baby Back Joe's 4 times since their opening. They have a great pulled pork sandwich and their baby back ribs are to die for. I haven't tried anything else on the menu yet. The staff that waited on my family were very polite and courteous.    [28 Sep 2005 21:01:27]

Mixed Review
Our first meal we dined in. Our family found the staff to be courteous.The food was hot,plentiful, and tasty. We left pleased. Our second meal was a take out order I had gone in to place and wait on. While waiting, one customer who ate in complained on poor service and his fried okra being hard. While another was picking up an order to go, found his order was wrong food items. My order was missing the fried corn nuggets(the first thing I ordered, because the wife really liked them and was clear to get them was not on the ticket) and we received no hushpuppies which are listed on the menu as coming with the meal.    [23 Oct 2005 12:09:36]

delicious
Baby Back Joe's is my family's favorite restaurant. My husband loves their pork spare ribs and my son and I always share a rack of baby back ribs -- which are the best I have ever eaten!! Their cole slaw is also the best we have ever had.

Excellent BBQ, Excellent Service
Don't know where those other people ate, be every time I've been to Baby Back Joe's the food and the service has been excellent! The BEST baby back ribs around...we used to drive to South Carolina for BBQ, but no more! Ribs and beer at Joe's does the trick! And the sides are really great, too! Love the sweet potatoes!    [14 Apr 2006 17:57:06]

AWESOME !!
Just got home from our trip Lake Lure and had to find Baby Back Joe's on the net. Wondered in, in the middle of the day, looking for some BBQ. WOW Best Brisket I have ever had and the smoked chicken was AWESOME. I own a restaurant in Pa. and have been smoking various meets for about 15 years and I have never produced Brisket that lean and tender. I would love to talk to the pitmaster for a few hours so I could pick his brain. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

My wife went back before we drove home and picked up Brisket for the trip. We really enjoyed that as well. Thanks    [26 Jun 2006 13:24:38]

Great Food!!!
This is definitely my favorite BBQ restaurant. The baby back ribs and the beef brisket are the best I have ever had. Also, make sure you try the sweet potato biscuits, they are unbelievable. I travel through Hendersonville once a month and baby back joes is a must for me.    [02 Apr 2007 16:12:32]

Yum, yum, yum!!!
It's a must for our family every time we visit Hendersonville. The ribs are unbelievable--melt-in-your-mouth tender. The pulled pork and moist and tasty. The best barbeque "joint" ever.    [17 Aug 2007 11:59:12]

Joe's is one of my favorite restaurants in Hendersonville and now they deliver. Finally, I do not have to get pizza when I dont feel like driving and taking the kids out.    [07 Oct 2007 13:55:57]
