While this may be Chef Ben’s famous Tomato Pie 🍅🥧, we’re so grateful for the partnership between Chef Ben and Chef Nathan that makes it possible for our Rainbow City customers to enjoy it too!

And you’ve got options! 🙌 Enjoy our Tomato Pie as an entrée (pictured) with your choice of meat and a fresh side salad, or add a slice as a side to your favorite Local Joe’s meal.

Great food, great teamwork, and one Local Joe’s family. ❤️

Come grab a slice at RBC and see what all the fuss is about!

There’s a reason BBQ tastes different when it’s done right. 🔥

It’s the step that can’t be rushed. The one that takes patience, experience and knowing exactly when it’s ready.

The smoke.

That’s where the bark develops. Where the flavor builds. Where an ordinary cut of meat becomes something worth gathering around the table for.

At Local Joe’s, we still believe some things are worth doing low, slow and the right way.

🔥 The step that changes everything.

Sundays have a way of reminding us what matters. ❤️

A little rest. A little gratitude. Time with the people we love. And a seat at the table where we know we belong.

Our tables may be empty today, but they’ll be waiting for you when the new week begins.

Until then, slow down, gather your people, and enjoy the day God has given us. 🙏

There’s always room at our table.

Happy Sunday from all of us at Local Joe’s. ❤️

Confession time. 😬

You walk in saying, “Tonight I’m trying something different.”

You look at the menu. You consider your options. You really do.

…and then somehow the same order ends up on the table. 😂

We all have THAT Local Joe’s order—the one that makes trying something new nearly impossible.

👇 So let’s hear it: What’s your “I get it every single time” order?

We’ll go first… loaded nachos + pork is pretty hard to beat. 🔥

Let’s break down the anatomy of a proper Local Joe’s plate. 🔥

First, you need the star of the show: slow-smoked meat with those crispy, smoky edges. 🤤

Then come the Southern sides—the hardest part is deciding which ones make the cut.

Add the bread, because around here we already established that you don’t skip the bread. 😂

Sauce it how you like it, grab a fork and get to work.

No fancy formula. Just good food, generous portions and a plate built to satisfy. ❤️

What meat + two sides are making up YOUR perfect Local Joe’s plate? 👇

Your lunch break is too short to waste on a boring lunch. 😏

Skip the drive-thru routine and Make It Local. ❤️

From loaded baked potatoes piled high with all the good stuff to BBQ, sandwiches, bowls and plenty more—there’s a reason lunch at Local Joe’s hits a little different. 🔥

Bring a coworker. Get out of the office. Take the whole lunch break.

You’ve earned it.
