The decor is nice, but Joey's is clearly more about attractive waitresses than about food. Their bar is super popular for older women and college age guys (you get the idea). The front desk staff have always been pleasant to me while I waited for take-out and I once got a free ltitle appetizer.
Once seated, the service is typically slow and most of the menu choices range from bland to downright greasy. However, I did discover some safe choices. Their steak is quite reasonable and it comes with a crunchy shell with mashed potato inside and cheese/sour cream on top, yum! For dessert, their molten chocolate cake with ice cream is very nice.
I used to order out a lot, where thankfully you don't have to deal with their slow service. Overall, Joey's is an unsurprisingly bland addition to Bellevue downtown.
Pros: Sometimes good food, reasonable ambiance
Cons: Bland food, slow service
