Humble Joe's — Restaurant in Redding

Very upsetting that I have to place a one star for a diner that serves such GREAT FOOD. But unfortunately, after the way we were treated I wouldn't recommend this place to a foe. My grandmother has lived in Redding since I was a small child so I'm very familiar with the area and types of people that live there. I've always loved that everyone seems so friendly and welcoming to outsiders passing through. This was not the case at Humble Joe's. My grandmother suggested we stop here on our way up to Shasta to go camping for Labor Day weekend. I had woken up at 2am Saturday morning to get everything packed and get headed up North. We arrived in town/at the restaurant around 8:45. Immediately upon arrival we see that the place is heavily favored by the elderly community because other than the waitresses, no one in the entire building was under the age of 70. (except us). Let me say that I had absolutely no problem with this. I hadn't really noticed anything until I went to order my food and when I looked up at the waitress, (who let me mention had about 8 hickeys on both sides of her neck) nearly every single person was staring at our table. I can only assume that they were just interested in the new faces at this point but it continued on through the whole meal. Myself and a friend of mine ordered Mimosas, (which were boldly advertised on the breakfast menu) and another person from our party ordered a Corona. (BIG DEAL WE ARE ON VACATION.) As we were served our drinks, we were also served dirty looks, cold stares, and snickering whispers. I didn't really care, until a gentleman decided to make a comment to his waitress, loud enough that the entire restaurant could hear. She asked him if he would like anything else and he yells, "YEAH YOU KNOW, MAYBE GET ME A BEER...EVEN BETTER A KEGGER!!" and slapped his knee as about 17 elderly men started busting up laughing. Extremely rude and uncalled for. I'm sorry, but I'm a paying customer and am entitled to order whatever the hell I want without feeling like a room full of people are going to run their mouths. Won't be returning and will make sure anyone that knows my grandmother...

My husband and I were seated at 8:30:A.M.yesterday. We had to wait to be seated at least 3/4 minutes while the cashier cleared maybe 10 different gentleman leaving. She finally called a waitress to seat us. I tell you this because the restaurant was nearly empty when the waitress finally returned to take our order. The waitress came by and refilled our coffee a couple times and told u our food would be up soon. Over 30 minutes later our food was served. We ordered directly from the menu. No changes, no substitution. Most of the food was warm. We were so full from weak,watered down coffee that both of us ate a couple of bites and decided we'd had enough. Pretty sure we won't be going back, there simply wasn't anything that would...

Food is always good. Fish and chips were amazing. The pieces of fish were huge, crisp and delicious. My husband got the French dip and loved it. Kids meals were good. There was a good selection and the kids all got something they liked. We've also tried the turkey dinner, the "bird" sandwich, shrimp scampi with linguine and several burgers. My husband got the chicken cordon bleu and didnt like it because it wasn't what he expected. Otherwise, we haven't been disappointed. We always get wonderful service too. Our party is always 6 or larger (last night there was 11 of us) and they are always super attentive and friendly. They make some of their own salad dressings. I've had the blue cheese and ranch and they were literally the...
