Really cool place. They accepted my tastecard, and had a note of it at the door. The waitress was sooo nice and friendly and helpful. We had chicken wings to start with awesome bbq sauce. Then for main I had pulled pork and asked for chunky chips instead of mash, which they did no problem, and no extra charge like some places would!
Our meal was £44 down to £28 (with two beers) which I thought was pretty good, although I am not actually sure how the discount was calculated.
Would definitely recommend it/go back, atmosphere was good, music but not too loud, it was busy and lively. "

" Atmosphere was buzzing and noisy and decor was great so first impressions were good. However, expectations were soon brought back down to earth with a bump. We ordered apperitif cocktails which were priced at £7 each and I must say I was disappointed. I've had bigger, better cocktails for cheaper.
My boyfriend ordered the steak on the specials menu, but they had run out - it was only 7pm. I ordered the Creole chicken which was nice but slightly overdone so the coating was a little too crispy. Came with a small portion of fries so I ordered a side of coleslaw which they forgot to bring out with my food. I had to repeatedly ask for it to be brought out - it was only a bowl of coleslaw! For £11.95 plus extra for the coleslaw I was very disappointed. Again, I've paid less for much better.
The service was less than satisfactory, our waitress seemed entirely indifferent to us and they put a whopping 12.5% service charge on the bill - which was definitely NOT worth it.
Overall, the experience was not worth the money and we left feeling disappointed. I won't be going back and wouldn't recommend to others. "

"Great food, but they're crafty with the bill, they put on the 12.5% service charge before they deduct the discounted items. Expect to pay a little bit more than you were budgeting for.

"Nice food, good atmosphere, but you do get the feeling the place hasn't moved on since the late 1990s. It was slightly more expensive than I was expecting but seemed to be popular.

"Went with the wife and kids for lunch on tastecard. The kids had a lovely pasta, the wife had her best salad eaten in a restaurant and my chicken piri piri was superb. The nachos were also very nice. A great experience. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere pleasant. Would recommend without doubt.

"My partner and I dined here last night on tastecard and enjoyed the experience very much. The staff were very friendly, especially the host who gave us the option to change our table when musicians started playing live right behind us. While the music was really enjoyable, we appreciated having the option to move so we could enjoy the good atmosphere and also hear each other talk! The food was flavourful and filling and I felt that overall we got a very good deal. Would definitely recommend this for a night out in the area.

"Went here today and had lunch. I had the sausage & mash, my partner had the Thai green curry with rice. Both were nice and the service was very good.
The offer is 2 for 1 on each course and with a beer each the bill was just over £16 which is really good value for what we had. Would recommend.

"Me and my best friend have been here for lunch several times and each was very enjoyable. The staff are friendly and attentive and the food is delicious! I particularly recommend the tequila lime chicken chimichanga.
However I am disappointed the offer has changed to 2-4-1 rather than 50% off, as it is now not as good value for money.

"Although great care has been taken with the decor, Navajo Joe isn't one of those places where style trumps substance.
I went there for a pre-theatre meal and was impressed by the quality of the food - the nachos were evidently made in-house and not coming out of a bag; the tiger prawns were huge and very taste; the fajitas were very well-presented; portions were generous and the sauces, delicious. Service was friendly and the taste discount made it a great deal.
