Jo's has been around a long time and with the food & service will be around a while longer. We had a wonderful lunch, I ordered the chile verde omelette and it was delicious! Service was quick and it wasn't too loud or too quiet, very busy Friday morning. The parking isn't too bad as there's parking on the side and in the alley behind the restaurant. Inside was pleasant atmosphere.
Always good!!! My first choice for breakfast in Taft. Good food, good service. A Taft landmark. "Meet @ Jo's"
Quaint small town dinner with great food and good sized portions
Really enjoy eating here. Our server Alyssa was so nice and attentive it made the visit even more enjoyable. Will definitely be back.
Such a cute restaurant! Food is great too! So much character.
Great service, lovely decor, and very good diner type food (ymmv depending on whether you like ultra ultra crispy bacon).
Good food good service. First time I was there,and impressed with service, it was on a Saturday morning and jumping but service was excellent. Had the chicken fried steak. Meat was tender with a nice not to crunchy outside. Gravy is awesome. I settled for 1 pancake rather than toast, for a buck more. they weren't stingy with the butter. I recommend. Glad Kim from the high school told me about it.
Beauty of a find during a motorbike trip. Wonderful homely service, strongly opinionated feedback about menu items from the waitresses and wholesome food that tasted good about had big portions. The coffee is meh and the pastrami sandwich is mouth watering love you good.
The food was delicious, (yummy Spanish omelet). The wait staff was on top of everything, the owner is a lovely person! Really enjoyable experience, & obviously a very popular place. Happy customers of all ages coming and going the whole time we were there. Definitely recommend!
Excellent service cashier was very friendly helped me right away when I went to pick up my order. The best biscuit and gravy in town! Definitely worth it
