Joe's Family Restaurant, Mansfield, Texas

Joe's is a nice little hometown restaruant located just off of Broad Street on Mitchell road near US 287.  You might not even think to go there unless someone told you it was there since it's not in with any shopping center or mall and it's not widely publicised. I went with the office a couple times but they're only open for breakfast and lunch and promptly close at 3:00 pm which gives them plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the day.

The menu is what you would expect from a diner, breakfast foods, sandwiches, burgers and a few extras for good measure.  They aren't really known for anything particular until you get to the dessert.  The merangue pies are as good as it gets.  Soetimes that's all we would get from there and just have someone pick up a pie for the office.  These things are about half merangue and half pie.

If you really want food though I would suggest the burger.  It's nothing really special but it's a good burger for a reasonable price.  I wouldn't get a drink there though since it's creeping up on two bucks but I don't like spending where I don't have to, Mansfield's water is pretty good.

They keep the area really clean inside and out, again not being in a shipping center or right by other restaurants really helps with this.  The staff is pretty nice too.  I never felt rushed and the atmosphere was nice.  Parking wasn't a problem and I don't expect it will be.

You can easily get out of there for under ten dollars unless you splurge and get the extras, and that's tip and all.

Overall I'd have to say it's a nice place to have lunch or breakfast if you have the time. Dinner is right out since they are't open that late.  Definitely a place to try if you're looking for a bite in the area.
