Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were three work colleagues who went to Amazing Joe’s Grill for dinner. We ordered the chicken parmigiana with pasta, a bacon cheese burger, and a center cut pork chop with a side Italian salad and beans. While I enjoyed the pork chops and the...Italian salad was especially fresh and a good portion, my friends were not as happy with their meals, with the burger being dry and the chicken parmigiana just ordinary. The server was quick and very attentive.More

Went for my birthday. Waitress was very personable best thing there. Crammed all the patrons into a back corner section with rear of the restaurant mostly empty. I ordered the chicken nachos. Should have read it better but still would have been bad. Some kind...of deep fried crisps with Alfredo sauce and pizza cheese. Very little chicken and no tomatoes. Definitely not amazing joes. Not even average Joe.More

This is our favorite spot in Columbus, Indiana. Great drinks, great good, great staff, and great atmosphere. We always sit at the bar and mingle with some regulars as a well as new customers. The steaks are the best in town, made to your specific...request. Salads are all good too but we always get the ceasar salad with bacon and tomato added, it is amazing, no pun intended. Everything on the menu is great. Stop in and give it a try. They do to go orders too.More

We were in a group of 6 adulation and 2 children. The ne’er selection was okay but the server wasn’t familiar with what was offered. He replied,he couldn’t keep up with the bottle selection. Heavens write it down. Wife had the catfish and I had...the tenderloin. She mentioned the fish was good. My tenderloin was any spectacular. Thought it would be better.More

We decided to eat here after leaving a Marriage Retreat and had a great time. There was a group of 8 of us and we were able to get seated rather quickly and had great service the whole night! My only complaint is that they...started charging for their bread! Lol Make sure you try the Onion Rings and if you're really hungry...the "Fuhgedaboutit Burger".More

We saw the other reviews, and maybe we just came at the right time. However, our food was outstanding and so was the service. In fact, we went two nights in a row. We are from an area in Illinois (Naperville) that is noted for...bad restaurants, so we are probably easy to please. In any event, we would go back tomorrow if we could.More

We've eaten here a few times over the past year or so, but the skrinkage in serving size, deletion of extras like the complementary fresh hot bread, and lackluster service have pretty much finally killed our desire to return. Our go to dish here has...always been the chicken kabob - a couple skewers, one with chunks of grilled chicken breast and one of grilled vegetables, served on a bed of seasoned rice with two sides. Up until a few months ago, they also provided a nice little loaf of what appeared to be freshly baked bread gratis. Earlier this year, we were served a loaf of reheated bread which while okay was certainly a big step down from the fresh bread and on the last two visits no bread was offered at all - not a big deal, but certainly a drop in value to the customer. We've also notice the amount of chicken has shrunk (maybe by about a third) and the bed of rice has become more of a smattering of rice. Service too has gotten slower and slower. Overall, what once was a reasonably good value has become an increasingly disappointment which is a shame given the decline in the number of restaurants in this small town.More

First timers. Parking lot was pretty full. Ordered small cut NY Strip and got large cut sirloin. The steak was average with a good bit of fat. Salad was average. Table was sticky. Owner didn’t charge us for the mix up. Would have liked to...try the NY Strip. Pretty bold claims on the menu about the best steaks you will ever eat. Sorry, I’ve had some steaks that were way better. Theirs’ were good but not memorable.More

Wife and I stop in whenever we can. We stopped in for dinner on a Friday night at about 6 p.m. Was starting to get crowded. Luckily we got seated right way. Food is absolutely amazing every time we go here which is why we...return so much. Affordably priced. Staff is extremely friendly and professional. We had server Dawn who was amazing as well. Just the right attentiveness. Never had to ask as she was always one step ahead. Owner is a great guy and makes sure he stops at every table to say hello! Do not miss this gem if you are in the area!!More

My wife and I just returned from a 5 day stay in Columbus and what a wonderful town. One evening we had a taste for steak and we thought we'd try Amazing Joe's Grill. What a great decision that was. My wife had the Ribeye...and I had the Filet. And I am sincere when I say this, but those were the best steaks that we have had the pleasure of eating in a long time. Cooked to perfection. Very tender. My wife just loved the crumpled bleu cheese on her steak. Hasn't stopped talking about it. Needless to say, it was a very enjoyable dinner.More

Food and service is lacking. Apparently the shut down effected the managements moral. Waitress waseok but the manager was not happy with some of the guests and made it very apparent. Steak was overcooked and undercooked. Salmon was good. Also the strip steak was subpar

I bet Amazing Joe's does something special for birthdays. I would call ahead to make sure. (812-378-2130), but if they don't, Applebee's is right next door and I know they do special things for birthdays.
