While the service is consistently praised for its friendliness and efficiency, the food receives mixed reviews, with some finding it underwhelming compared to the spectacular scenery.
"may was such a sweet and amazing server. she was very helpful and quick. she checked on us multiple times. AND the food was AMAZING. i got the hash it out and my husband for the spinach omelette. both were super tasty. 10/10 food and vibes. the fountain show was also going on so the vibes were immaculate."

"Firstly, the view of the Dubai fountain and the Burj Khalifa from Joe’s cafe are amazing. I believe they have the best view of the Burj as all the other places are too close and or facing the other way, therefore you can’t see all of the Burj or see it at all.
The food we ordered were the Chick Stack burger and the grilled chicken fillet. The food came out very quickly but if I’m honest, it didn’t really taste the greatest and was quite dry.
Staff were very friendly though. Rayid, the person serving us was a great waiter and works very hard to provide you with the best service."

"We visited Dubai for our anniversary. We came to Joe’s for dinner. The ambiance, and location are excellent! We sat in the terrace and had a great view of the water show. The food was underwhelming. Not bad but not good either. The service was top notch! Everyone was super nice and accommodating. A special shout out to our server Rayid. He was so nice and very funny also. He took great care of us. We came for the atmosphere and would return again for that alone."
