Jojo's

I was pretty disappointed with my Patty O'Melty. A little sprinkle of finely diced raw onion was not what I was hoping for here. I was expecting that the "drunken onions" would be at least sautéed. Maybe I was supposed to be drunken to appreciate them.2 patties, sprinkle of raw onion, no sauce, single cheese slice, rye bread. So...we got the patties, but coming up short on the "melt". Pretty dry. Fries were ok, but the problem is that they weren't salted, and this was a to-go order. No salt was included. The place looks cool, and was clean and inviting. My order was ready quickly.I'm giving 4 stars because I think this could have been better dine-in, or at least we could try to make it better. It was a pretty good price, burger + fries for $13. But it was not very tasty. I would be willing to come back and try something else sometime.

We came in for our first "done in" experience recently, and I have to say, I was underwhelmed overall.We have another local breakfast spot we typically frequent, but we were lured away when I noticed JoJo's has chilaquiles on their menu. As a casual diner, I expected it to be used to having a few kids around, but the general vibe felt a little like "why are you here with children?" Please tell me other moms know what I mean?The wait wasn't bad, but our server didn't seem like he was stoked to be around that morning. The food itself was fine - the flavors on the Nashville hot waffle plate didn't seem to hit the usual bar, the chilaquiles felt more breakfast nacho-y than simmered, tender corn tortilla like I'm used to. The prices were pretty average against other Omaha spots, but overall it just felt like our time there was pretty lackluster and I don't think we will rush back.

We stopped in for brunch at Jojo's as the menu looked like some interesting twists on traditional brunch dishes. The restaurant has a fun diner vibe which is perfect for breakfast. We ended up ordering a short rib hash, a Nashville hot chicken sandwich and horchata pancakes. The horchata pancakes were absolutely killer. Both the Nashville hot chicken and the short rib hash badly needed salt as it seemed the cooks forgot to apply any at all. The short rib also unfortunately leaned slightly on the drier side, but it did have good flavor after salting. Our server was very nice, checked on us frequently and we were able to chat for a bit after our meal. I'd come back as I'd like to explore a bit more of the menu and the dishes were reallllly close to being a home run (just remember to salt!)

Not to say there isn't decent food here but the experience we had was underwhelming. There seemed to be an issue with the food matching what the menu offered. Caesar salad didn't have grilled chicken or cheese, and they added tomatoes...which I picked off and the server clearly noticed but didn't acknowledge. They were out of fries at 5pm on a Saturday - the kiddos didn't mind though and did state they had the best tater tots to exist. Mac and cheese was not rotini pasta but rather elbow pasta, which can be forgiven but it was not very flavorful either. Pancakes offered whipped butter and seasonal preserves but did not receive those either, just a cup of maple syrup and packaged butter. Service was quick but not warm and inviting. Had to ask for multiple items like silverware and napkins, at one point our server had to "run across the street"?Restaurant was not busy, maybe two tables upon arrival. Food came out almost immediately after ordering which was great for our hungry bellies. Not sure what is to blame for these issues we encountered, maybe the cooks were not trained properly on plating and recipes or we came at an off time?? The photos on other reviews look phenomenal but that's not what was served to us. Also, no kids menus are offered. Thought a cute little diner would be more kid friendly. Even though they walked away satisfied, I'm not sure I'll visit again considering I did not receive what I ordered and yet paid the prices listed.

Went here for the first time yesterday. I got to admit, I was pleasantly surprised.Descent food, great atmosphere and very friendly waitress staff. Give it a try!

I was excited to get to Jojo's Diner in Omaha, Nebraska. My first diner in months, but also my first diner in Nebraska. Living on the west coast, it feels as if diners are fleeting moments, but I try to get to them when I can. We hit up Jojo's Diner on the way out. I wasn't terribly hungry, but I still wanted to get to a diner.There are three locations, and we opted for the location on Military Avenue because it was on our way to the airport.Jojo's Diner Atmosphere: The outside of Jojo's Diner doesn't scream diner. It's located on a main street and is walkable, but it's not a standalone building like you imagine most diners are. Is that bad? No.When you walk into Jojo's Diner, it looks like everything you imagine in a diner. There are brightly colored walls, retro tables, and booths. Plus, you can sit at the counter and watch them make meals. I always love an open layout where I can watch them cook.Jojo's Diner Food: Jojo's Diner's menu has almost anything you want in a diner. It's not a huge menu like some of the East Coast options, but there are plenty of good diner foods. I decided on the avocado toast and one of the salads. I started with one of the salads. I was surprised when it had ranch dressing. I'm not a huge ranch fan, so it wasn't my favorite salad. It had fried chicken, coconut shreds (interesting), lettuce and strawberries.The salad was fresh but ranch dressing was not great. The Avocado Toast was tasty. I've never had avocado toast at a diner before and why I gravitated towards it. It tasted good, and I was a big fan. I would definitely order it again.Service: The Service was ok. I was kind of disappointed that we arrived there and it took a bit for anyone to even acknowledge we were there (and they weren't busy). Once they did, our food was ready fast, so I can't complain about that. It seems like a lot of people have issues with the service here. :-( Cost: $I am used to California prices, so the fact that I could walk with a salad and toast for $14 was a good deal to me. Most meals are around $10, which is how diners should be.Would I Come Back?I enjoyed my food at Jojo's Diner, and I would probably come back. Was it my favorite diner ever? No, but it was a good stop. I would definitely try something else though.

Here I am at JoJo's again but this time in Benson instead of West O. The place is smaller than West O, but definitely has a diner vibe with the tiny black and white behive floor tiles and bright colors. I'd come here again because of the chairs-- so tall but not stools and easy to get up from. The floor is also great for pulling your chair up to the table. Bookguy discussed ordering chicken fried steak or chicken fried chicken, with Brandon, the waiter, because he often finds the dish too dry. Brandon suggested the chicken and Bookguy was very pleased with it. He enthusiastically said he would get it again, high praise indeed. I wanted a vegan waffle with seitan, but they don't serve that anymore. I ended up with a patty o'melty, which is, of course, a patty melt. The sandwich had two beef patties along with mozzarella cheese, onions, and chow chow on rye. I don't know what chow chow is, but it didn't make any difference to me, because it seemed like a normal, but extra meaty patty melt. I only ate half, and a few of the French fries which seemed slightly under cooked. Brandon was an attentive waiter and brought my to go box for the 1/2 sandwich before I even asked. We liked everything about JoJo's and will be back to try other menu items.

Brother suggested we stop here for brunch while in the area. Glad we did! It was fabulous!Starting with no wait, followed by a wonderful waitress and food.I had the Chicken Parm sandwich, which was really good, the fries were cooked to perfection, crispy and soft in the middle.My brother had the Chicken fried steak with eggs, hashbrown and a pancake. We both dabbled in a 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy. We waited a bit for this but it was worth it! Definitely made fresh!Everything was hot and delicious. Fell in love with our waitress and can't wait to go back to see her and try some other dishes.

I've been here once and I'm going again next week. My boyfriend and I both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and got some pancakes to share. It's affordable, delicious and the service was great. Bottomless mimosas are a the move! The artwork and ambiance is cool. Highly recommend, I want to try everything on the menu!

Yesterday 1/1/2025 around 1:30pm my sister and I stopped in for a late lunch. We were greeted and offered a table but asked for a larger table but was denied although there was plenty of open tables. We were seated in the back hallway at a smaller table. We got our drink order. In the mean time several other tables were seated and their orders were taken. I had to get up and find someone to take our order. She was not professional, complained loudly and rudely to us that she is not a server and they had someone training with the server. This was not an appropriate response to a customer. Asking for service. It felt like we were an inconvenience. So I offered to pay for the soda we ordered and left without eating. Definitely need some customer service training for the servers in the Benson restaurant a half mile from where I live. This was very disappointing as I have had several other good experiences eating here and will think twice before returning.
