Original Joe’s Hillsboro

Great spot and close to my house. Machines like to pay out instead of being a reverse ATM EVERY TIME I try playing. Most of the bartenders are super cool, friendly and ever attentive to all their customer needs. There’s one in particular that I really enjoy seeing when I stop in….she’s super friendly, and always checks in to make sure I have everything I need to enjoy myself first the time I’m there. Oh and she makes the best fries! I believe she works later in the week andhh only the evening shifts. I won’t blast her name on here but if she see this review she’ll know who she is 😉 I’m happy the new owners are being proactive and finding new ways to bring in more customers as well as exploring new menu ideas. I believe every Friday they’re now doing karaoke along with a new featured Meal. My favorite are the Jello Shots! I’m so excited to see what’s in the future for this place. I wish you all the best of luck and will always bring my business here!! As long as my favorite bartenders around😉

Great place and people, but please check your food. We ordered chicken strips with sidewinders and the chicken was raw. The sidewinders could also be cooked more. Not the Original Joe’s I remember from a couple of years ago.

NEW OWNERSHIP. They do have gyro’s still, but thats about it. Drinks are strong, and several beers to choose from in cooler, but without food it’s not going to be my hang out—maybe somewhere for quiet drink, i like not having alot of commotion and being able to relax. Mainly people coming and going for lottery. Have snacky items on “menu” (board on wall), but out of stock on alot, and others not recommended (ie chicken wings are tiny and $10 for just a few—average price for full size wings, but these are the teeny ones-no joke). Note: they serve chicken wings but reason they have to be teeny is they dont have a deep dryer, they have an air fryer and full size ones take 45 minutes so they are trying to fix issue by having small wings instead…no reason to charge full price then 🤨. Potstickers dont taste right because they are air fried… hoping their food practices change as the new management takes over and they think about their business more but so far they have no clue what they are doing as far as food. Staff seems to have ideas and suggestions, maybe management should listen to staff that has years of experience. 🤷🏻‍♀️ staff said gyros were good, but im just not a fan. They dont have kabobs, greek salad or anything else listed or pictured so beware!

Typical lottery spot. Food is not fresh,, the gyros are not authentic. The staff is ok, but should learn to not air dirty laundry about coworkers, and others to people during their shifts. You an hear every thing in this place. I know more about one person's car repo, and family issues than I should. None of them seem to be able to keep it professional here. Lazy ownership in my opinion.

Went here late Christmas night, as there weren’t many options for me to eat at due to dietary restrictions. The bartender with the sparkly eyeshadow made me food even after telling me the kitchen was closed. I really appreciate this gesture. The food was pretty good too. Merry Christmas :)

This place is a real gem. Awesome Mediterranean food and the staff are so friendly!!! The gyros are seriously so good, fresh hummus and tzatziki daily. You can taste the quality in the veggies. Definitely give this place a chance if you can!
