Yelper Mackenzie B., who reviewed Joe Jost's on Nov. 8, wrote, "Such a fun dive-y atmosphere. The sandwiches are to die for. Definitely worth a stop."

Leslie Y. noted, "...Their Joe's Special sandwich... packs a mean punch.  It's deceptively simple, yet it's got the perfect combination of tastes. The richness of the meat is balanced by the tanginess of the pickle, all wrapped together in a warm blanket of toast."
