Original Joe's — Restaurant in Portland

Tucked away in the cluster of big corporate stores, semi trucks and places for someone to use their drugs in private is a nice little restaurant called original Joe's. one would think a place like that would just be a greasy spoon you know a place for you to go and get over a 2 a.m. drunken stumbling feeling. Well it might be that kind of a place then again I wouldn't know this is my first time there. I ordered the coconut chicken and I have not experienced pleasure this satisfying since the first time of getting laid by my substitute teacher in 8th grade. I sincerely love the amount of detail the lady put into making this food and presenting it to me. it was extremely tasty I still enjoyed myself the local bum population was sort of at a low there was only one or two bums kind of sulking about the parking lot otherwise I would go to this restaurant during normal hours of the food is absolutely amazing the waitress was extremely nice she makes the best damn case it is that's for sure but really coconut chicken it was just absolutely sublime I can't say enough wonderful things about it. My girlfriend went there and she was extremely happy she had the Greek something or another and she really liked it she would have eaten at all at the restaurant there except for I wanted to get home so I could use my toilet and not a public toilet so I kind of rushed her. so I can't comment on their bathrooms there but their food and the atmosphere overall really felt good. I hope this review is helpful if not please scroll to another one that gives good positive ratings about that place because I gave it full Stars I got to go now because my back is hurting sitting here...

I went into Original Joe's with a friend. Sat my coat and purse at the table I was sitting at and got up and stood at a video poker machine not two feet away for maybe 5 minutes. In that time the employer picked up my purse and some random stranger she had never seen told her he would give it to the owner. I turned around and noticed my purse gone and ran out front to ask what happened. She said "Oh, I'm so sorry, he took it from me so fast" I asked if she tried to stop him or got his license plate. She said no but the cameras would pick all that up since he was parked right in front of the store. Well I came back and was told that the cameras didn't show the table I was at, didn't get his license plate and her giving my purse to someone was my problem. My phone, money, bus pass.. My life was in that purse. Plus I cannot be in the store because I have no ID. Which they have all seen numerous times and I put it on my smartphone but not good enough. Long story short couldn't have been smoother for them and the stranger. Go ahead and eat there but your purse is not safe while you are there unless it's strapped to your body. If someone steals your money or Rob's you, their cameras see nothing. How convenient. I urge older people like myself to stay away from...

I really miss their pulled pork from back in the day I mean years ago I used to get one to three of them every day sometimes three four times a week like the one that was on 102nd and Halsey I really really miss that and their original fries with the seasoning you guys should come back with them I would be eating there everyday great pulled pork with a nice Toasted Bun with the fries in the seasoning and they would be so packed it would rub off onto the sandwich and you'd bite the fries in the sandwich I still go there and I'm glad this one's open till about 1 or 2 a.m. I believe which is great nice to have something open in Portland instead of crappy fast food the guy and the girl that run the place at night that I've been working there recently during this time are pretty nice people too would recommend also The Gambler room is pretty big but it's always packed but I always got to play and I'd say it's about...
