Great quick service, good prepared food if youre there for that, and some of the friendliest cashiers this side of the Saco River. Its a convenience store, so you get what youre there for, and the prices are decent. 4/5 because I dont give perfect scores.

Nice variety of beer and wine including some that’s chilled. Ok mix of snack options. Was close to our hotel and had enough of a variety to meet our needs.

I just watched a young man get completely disrespected by a man who is working the cash register in the food section at the store. The young man was approached very disrespectfully three different times, finally the customer spoke up for himself and had had enough of the employees disrespectful demeanor. The customer voice his concerns and every single employee in that store ganged up on the customer and surrounded him like he was some type of criminal. I will never go back to that store again

Came in early this morning for some post-shift treats, some cat litter and a breakfast sandwich. The person was friendly enough, but they were handling food with no mask and no latex gloves. I was very careful not to touch anything I didn’t intend to purchase and wore a mask. Things are tense enough, so I didn’t say anything at the time, but I am reluctant to eat any food this day and age not being handled with more care, so I ended up not eating it. Store was friendly and well lit, just needs better care to health and safety.

I have gone here for about 20 years, and use to eat their sandwiches a lot. The staff works extremely hard from what I have seen. Love their fries! Not a lot of vegetarian choices or vegan choices, but that’s to be expected. Miss the old store because it was more country like & I’m from the country, so I liked that aspect about it. Glad they continue to service the area!

YOUR STAFF NEED TO WEAR MASKS. Consistently the same staff member is never wearing a mask when I walk by or stop in for food. This is selfish, careless, and literally illegal.

We often would stop by Joes for a snack or a drink on the way home pre-pandemic. We stopped going to Joes in April because neither employees nor customers were masked.Weve tried to give them another try a couple of times these past two weeks, and each time weve seen multiple customers without masks on, and the employees dont say anything. Its a shame, because Id really rather support small, local businesses than Walgreens or CVS when I want to pick up something quick. But, I really cant come back here. At this point in the course of COVID 19, its really inexcusable and unhygienic that theyre not mandating masks inside. Gross.

Modernized and well stocked/laid out. Food counter is a definite plus and great beer selection. Clearly still in the early stages of being 100% ready but didnt effect our visit much. Only problem was the clerk at the checkout was completely miserable and without any pleasantries. For a place that bangs on about adding a friendlier touch to convenience stores...this was not evident in my visit. Hopefully a one time thing.

My great uncle Joe opened this store up since before I was born. Im always hearing good things from other family members about Joes Smoke Shop. Its probably the best on-going business my family has ever had.The stores amazing. So, I would refer anyone to go there.

Every time I’ve been here, before and after the building and store remodel, it’s been a sparse selection with a lot of expired or close to expired food and drinks. Every time I took a chance going there I ended up with expired milk or something else. To the point where we only stopped in for cigarettes if we didn’t have time to stop anywhere else. Even then, the attitude of the person checking us out was extremely rude and unpleasant since the remodel. I’ve given up at this point, and go the extra mile to go anywhere but here.

Looked like a nice clean store w a decent wine selection. Just what we were looking for before checking into The Press for our first visit to Portland.⚠️We were prepared to make a wine, beer and snacks purchase, but needed a restroom first due to our travel, however, Im sorry, we dont (have any restroom)...even for paying customers in an establishment that serves alcohol, food and other beverages 😒

Joes is the best place to get an affordable lunch — QUICKLY — on all of Congress street. Nearly my entire office makes daily trips to Joes to get their italians, pizza, burgers, and ALL the weird flavors of Combos.

Best place to grab a bite, get your coffee, and just about anything else a convenience store could need! Friendly staff 27/7, and all around upbeat atmosphere!

Joes Super Variety never fails to offer quality food for affordable prices (which is now a rarity in Portland). I often swing through on my lunch break to grab a drink or a sandwich and Ive never been disappointed. Great staff as well!

I absolutely love Joes! There new store is clean and beautiful, and such a positive change over all. The employees have always been helpful and friendly. The shorter girl with glasses is espically always quick to welcome me and anyone else who enters the store while im there. Shes very quick to crack jokes amd ask how i am doing, which is a pleasure to see in todays age!

Its a great store but its a shame theyre so rude there. I live upstairs and I would rather (and do) walk a block in a blizzard to 7/11 than deal with their unfriendly, miserable attitudes.

Ordered food from the kitchen early in morning, only 1 person working, he went to the register to ring a customer in than back to the food where he handled my bread and bacon with his disgusting bare hands. I had to walk after seeing that. This makes the second time Ive seen unsanitary acts by workers their. Not recommended during these times of safety
