Joel's is a fantastic lunch spot, for they are only open during lunch hours. The restaurant has a low-key country home vibe to it and everyone greets you with a smile when you walk in. I got a little confused as to how to order food upon my first visit because the server led me to a table, placed my silverware down, asked for my drink order, and left. I then sat down and waited for her to return. She dropped off my drink and walked away. At that point, I saw people walk up to the food counter. I couldn't help but laugh at myself, thinking about how awkward I had to look just sitting there. The ladies behind the counter were VERY generous with portions of the side items (the meats are already pre-measured). I ordered the veal cutlet, turnip greens, and fried okra. The greens were served in a side bowl and were piled so high, I had to eat a few bites before being able to stir in the pepper sauce. The okra was literally falling off my plate, so walking back to the table with that fully loaded plate was a balancing act in itself. Long story short, the food was delicious and the service was very quick. Our server also made sure our cups were never empty and checked on us with each refill to ensure everything was to our liking. I cannot wait to eat at Joel's again.

Cozy, old-school cafeteria style of the Southern meat-n-three restaurant located in the epicenter of small-town Trussville. Solid versions of classics like Deviled Eggs, Hamburger Steak, BlackBerry Cobbler, and even improvised dishes like Joel’s Grits and Greens. Oh, and three Deviled Eggs (versus the normal two) was a nice lagniappe.

When Joel left he took the heart out of the place. Many items that were standard are no longer served, used to be "the" place to go. Now I call to see what they are serving, and more times than not I just eat at home. The catfish fingers were so good on Sunday. Never have them anymore. I miss Joel

Delicious! One of the best meat & three in town! Veal Parm was so good and different with the addition of bell peppers.

Good food and good service. If you love home cooking like mama use to cook, this is the place for you. They use to have watermelon pickles but not any longer. I miss them.
