Joe's Buffet — Restaurant in Fairfield

I was hungry @ 11am, as a full time Uber driver unfortunately I have to eat out a lot. I have had sandwiches for 3 days in a row I was wanting something different, but this place stood out to me on the Google search list, mostly because I haven't seen a sandwich shop with so many reviews sitting at a 4.8 of 5 rating, with zero 1 & 2 stars.

So, upon entrance, i don't love the atmosphere, it gives cafeteria with fluorescent lighting & push tile ceiling, flat white walls and ZERO decor, not even a picture on any of the walls that I noticed... which is fine, they want to focus on the food then really none of this is a problem.

Their menu, maybe 8 protein choices, maybe 6 kinds of cheese, maybe 6 varieties of bread to choose from, & that's pretty much it... I chose the "Joe's special" which is 1/2 pastrami 1/2 roast beef or.. corned beef I can't remember. Meat warm on cold soft French roll with Swiss.

They don't have any fancy sauces except for mayo & mustard, or really much additional toppings except for lettuce tomato red onion & pickles.. & pepproncinis. It's extremely simple & straight forward, which is actually kind of refreshing. Sandwich I think was around $8 or $9..REALLY great price for the Bay area & it's a BIG portion too.

Then after you order the sandwich, slide on down the station & pick sides if you want, I got the Mac n cheese & the macaroni salad. They were I think $3.69ish each

They did have fountain drinks too which I super appreciate!

I got a small bag of lays chips too

All together my Joe's special sandwich, 2 sides, chips & fountain drink was only $25. Honestly my meal would have been satisfactory with just the sandwich & the drink for what, like $11 or $12? Yess.

The sandwich did come with this sort of dark gravy that I LOVED as well.

Been going here since i was 15 and im 33 now. They usually know all their customers by name and are so humbly nice and courteous. You can tell they truly enjoy their job and what they do and genuinely care about their customers. The food is spectacular and you get good hearty portions for your buck. They even have student specials for the nearby kids who attend school that come to eat. You feel right at home here and they keep it clean. I love everyone who works here and they are always happy to see me and ask how im doing everytime. I give them 10 stars. Very hardworking gracious loving people with excellent great tasting food and side dishes. A total must to visit if your ever in the area and want a great filling meal. I would recommend to anyone. And always get your gravy cup to dip your sandwich in. Even get your meat dipped while they are making the sandwich. Absolutely amazing. I recently became vegetarian but the sandwiches and gravy is so good i will just eat the sandwich with mayo lettuce and onions and mustard and dip it in the gravy. Happy to say i can still enjoy most of their side dishes. Some i will just take the meat out cuz their macaroni salad and their pasta is sooo good. Their salad is also so amazing and the dressing is absolutely fabulous. A+ in my book. Love you Joe!! Its Lisa by the way if you ever happen to come across this! God bless you may your buisness continue to thrive. Hands down best sandwich place in the city. You will leave full and happy and most likely...

I went to Joe's Buffet in Fairfield, CA today to get something to eat, normally I don't write reviews of this kind, but today is an exception. The roast beef sandwich with the dippin sauce was great, no problems there. Let me say this before I keep telling my experience. I love eating at Joe's whenever I can and my entire family and many of friends also eat at Joe's. It's always clean, the staff is always professional, pays attention to detail and my needs and kind. But, today whoever made the potato salada need not make it anymore. After eating half of my sandwich, I went for my potato salada and to my surprise this is what I got. Those giant chunks of potatoes were throughout the entire container and to top it off it was tart. At $11.00 for a large salada that's the last thing I want to see or taste. My appetite went out the window. Please fix the potato salada, so I can continue to enjoy eating the potato...
