I’ve been to Charcoal Joe’s several times, and had really inconsistent experiences. I had a very average sandwich the first time, which I felt I could make the same at home, probably even a better one. The second time I went, I really liked the jerked chicken sandwich and the fries that came with it. The third time I went, I had the Portuguese style chicken. The chicken itself was good, but the mashed potatoes were horrible. It was clear they were instant mashed potatoes, and they were very poorly made. They were runny and bland. Just because a food is instant, doesn’t mean you can’t add your own spices to it.
The staff is friendly, and you can tell they’re busting their butts to get your food out quickly. The restaurant is nice, clean, and simple. I really can’t recommend going here, given my mixed experiences, but I wouldn’t tell you to avoid it at all costs either.
