Our server, Ty, was amazing! So attentive, but not intrusive. He spaced our meal perfectly so we never felt rushed and had time to enjoy each course. The meal itself was incredibly plentiful (we both took half our Thanksgiving plate home) and delicious! We were so glad we chose Joe’s for our holiday celebration!

Our family dined here on Thanksgiving. The restaurant staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great holiday. Two of us chose the turkey dinner (which was plentiful and delicious). And four ordered filets off the regular menu. We enjoyed appetizers, dinner, and desert. We were not rushed and had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Friendly staff. Great food. Relatively quick. A little crowded next to other diners and a bit loud. Overall, enjoyed my visit and would dine at Trident again. Plus, books after brunch!
