that place is a dump
This is a very common way of describing an eatery of low/poor quality. "The place is a dump" or something along these lines to fit the sentence structure should work.

a typical smoky joe
Я помню, что один наш экспат называл так шашлычную рядом с офисом (smoky joe).
Я не знаю, что там в контексте, но если имеется ввиду плохое обслуживание, может подойдёт.
Во всяком случае консрукция "a typical+noun" должна подойти

: 1.I've never heard such expression in this meaning and couldn't find anything on the web. Must be local to where your acquaintance lives. 2. I don't think "typical +" is necessarily the ticket. What if the place is unique in some way?
