Review from Amber L.

This place is a nice stop if you're not wanting to visit a large chain restaurant. Has American cuisine and pasta. Good food, and you get lots of it. A normal dinner portion (especially for the pasta selection) could feed a normal person 2-3 times.
They have awesome sweet potato fries and pub chips with a great garlic aioli. They have nice pasta dishes and good steaks.
Staff is generally friendly, though we've had instances where there is some lack in the common sense department.
Overall a nice place to go. -

This is a nice change from a traditional national chain. The menu isn't much different, the decor is meh, but the food and service were great!
They did overcook one of our steaks (he asked for medium rare but it came well done). The staff quickly resolved the problem! Everything else was good.
Plus it's nice to support a more local establishment (although it does have another location in Columbus). -

This place was pretty good. I really liked the beer they had on tap that was just called 'Joe's' or something and looked dark but didn't taste very dark. We had about an hour wait but we all got beers so weren't too worried about it. The onion ring tower was a good appetizer to start off with. I had the steak with sweet potato fries. The steak was really good. Not so much the fries.
They got our orders wrong. They forgot the mushrooms and onions I wanted on my steak and a couple people got the wrong sides.
It was an alright place for Muncie but just so run of the mill. -

Food was ok. I was not impressed with the sweet potato fries, they were not hot and kind of tasteless. The Joey cut strip steak was tasty and prepared as ordered. My husband ordered the ribs which fell off the bone. His side of rice was bland and tasteless and was not presented well. We needed a Table for six but were told those tables were upstairs and we has two handicapped people in our group. We ended up sitting at two back to back booths which was kind of annoying.
As stated in other reviews, the atmosphere is blah, but the servers make up for it with their super service. -
Review from Trevor G.
While the decor is a bit drab, don't let the bland, chain-restaurant appearance deceive you. This place lives up to its name.
First- Centennial IPA on tap?- Fuckin' A. Any establishment with Founder's on tap is worth revisiting in my book.
The menu was much bigger than I expected. There were a lot of traditional American grill fare and an impressive looking Italian menu, but when I was told that they steaks were good and I saw that the New York Strip was aged- I was sold. It was only $16 and it was one of the best steaks that I have ever had. Tender, juicy, and well seasoned.
I definitely wish I lived around the corner from this place. -

Been here at least a dozen times in the last 3 years or so and have never been disappointed. Steaks and burgers are great, awesome, affordable apps (fried dill pickle chips & Italian nachos are great with a good beer), and the service is outstanding. Best steak/burger and beer place in Muncie.

Meh, I wasn't overly excited by this place. Our server was on it and we had a party of 9 with a 3 year old. The food was nothing exciting, but it wasn't bad either just kind of there. Chain restaurant feel with the same kind of chain food you would find on any other menu. They did have a heart attack special burger: bacon, cheese, fried egg, onion rings, and mozzarella stick. This is your body now shutting down. Not much for the vegetarian or health conscious. I went with the veggie burger and it was pretty good. Although not good enough to make me want a repeat visit. I'm looking for something a little more local, with 50 year old dust on the lamp chains, and a shifty eyed old timer in the corner.

I've only been here once but the food was solidly good and the service was excellent. A work colleague and I had dinner at Amazing Joe's, both ordered steak, they were both cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful. The price was amazing.
Salads included crisp, cold produce and sides were served at the correct temperature. All items were served to the correct person without asking. -

Muncie doesn't have much in terms of restaurant eating so I wanted to enjoy my experience here. And truth be told, it's not terrible. But there's nothing that stands out about my experience that wanted me to go back.
Dinner was average and the dessert was so-so.
I will say the waitstaff was polite, which at times can make up for an average meal. I'm a big fan of good service. But I just don't feel like spending money on food that's not great. -

I sorta wanted to hate this place, especially since they changed their name midstream from Average to Amazing. But I suppose modesty has no place in the highly competitive restaurant world.
Walking in, we saw that it was 80's Night. Oh God. But once we were seated, I'd gotten over the pink spandex that seemed de rigueur amongst the waitstaff.
I'd heard from various people within the company that the steaks were the real deal, and after dismissing most of the Italian menu, I settled on the T Bone, mid-rare, and my dining companion, the 6 oz Filet, medium. Both were excellent. I'd have the T Bone again in a heartbeat, with just enough fat around the edges for flavor. The salads were solid, as were the potato sides.
We were definitely satiated, but our convivial server talked us into the Fried Apple Martini dessert. Served in a martini glass, the whole thing was a bit wobbly and perhaps poorly constructed. Also, the apple dumplings weren't what I'd hoped were holdovers from 909 Grille, but were instead Sysco frozen and fried apple pies that they used to serve at Rally's. It was tasty, but I'd hoped for something made in-house.
Other non-critical gripes include warm, not chilled salad plates, low syrup soda, and no mints on the way out. And the beer selection was dismal; throw a hop-head a bone!
I'd hoped to have seen the building burn down years ago, but great service and a fantastic steak are premiums in Muncie. Maybe not amazing, but pretty fucking good is my verdict. -

Chicken nachos are incredible. More than I could eat. Friendly servers. Quick service. I wish they had call ahead seating.

Food was OK. The bar has slow service and the staff doesn't know how to make a lot of drinks... There really is nothing special about Amazing Joe's. It would be great if their menu included more vegetarian fair.

On a recent trip to Muncie I had the chance to dine at Amazing Joe's with 2 friends.
A fairly crowded place on a Friday night, usually a good sign.
The beer selection was subpar and I ended up drinking some awful ale that they had on tap. As we were seated our extremely cheery waitress asked us if we had been there before, offered recommendations and chatted us up.
We started with their "Famous, Onion Tower". When it arrived I had to laugh aloud. A PVC pipe with a stack of onion rings on it! They included a few standard dipping sauces, and as far as fried battered food went, they were edible.
I ordered a Med Rare Ribeye and the Peanut Slaw, which came highly recommended. When the slaw arrived, it again brought on a laugh. Jar coleslaw with a handful of crushed peanuts was about as tasty as you might expect.
The steak however, took me by complete surprise. Tender, juicy, seasoned perfectly, I was fairly impressed that this actually came out of the same kitchen as my onion tower or peanut cole slaw.
All in all a laid back place to have a beer and a steak with friends. Not bad, but I do not have many restaurants in Muncie to compare it to as of yet. -

Changed my rating to 5 stars, have went there a lot more times since then, and they're always good, except for the parking, it's still cramped
