Jo Jo’s Kitchen

Pro: Good homestyle breakfast. Eggs, bacon, toast, hot coffee… Some things are too simple to get wrong. Portions were ample: not meager, but no after-​meal sluggishness.
Con: Service was a bit slow due to a packed house.
Bottom Line: Exactly what I expected: a traditional breakfast that hit the spot.

I went there for breakfast the services was great, the people were nice and friendly and they food was delicious I will be back defiantly.

If the owner is not on the premises they need to be. If the owner IS on premises, shame on him/​her, tables never cleaned as in dishes left on each table just as the customer left it. Waitress and ginger hair boy would continued to walk by them in slow motion. Just getting coffee and water was a challenge. Waitress could only carry one thing at a time and no she didn’t seem new. If she walked any slower she would have been walking in reverse. Eggs bacon and toast basic and simple. For this place not so much. Save your money and time. If you get a hunger pang for breakfast, drive to Dierbergs, drive home, feed the dog, dust the house, then make breakfast. You’ll eat a lot sooner and it will taste better. Oh and if ginger boy is in charge, oh boy. Hotter inside than outside. Whew!

I don’t often get frustrated but this is possibly the worst dining experience I’ve had in years. 25 minutes and no food and no refills on water. It’s 95 degrees in the dining room. There’s 6 tables uncleared and cleaned. All we ordered were egg dishes and French toast with bacon.
Please don’t waste your time. I’m doing it for you.

Fantastic food. It’s a great place to eat if you’re sick of corporate restaurants and want to help out the community. I had French toast and my best friend had a crispy chicken sandwich, because they were out of grilled. The waitress was friendly.

We have been driving by Jo Jo’s for some time now and yesterday decided to give it a try for lunch with our granddaughters. They serve breakfast all day so the girls had the Mickey mouse pancakes with bacon and chocolate milk. I had the southern skillet with sausage biscuits, eggs and gravy. The wife had a Philly sandwich with fries. All the food was excellent and freshly prepared. We had seen the new sign that advertised wood fired pizza. It is only offered on Saturday night from 4 to 8. So we returned on Saturday night to give it a try. Their new wood fired pizza oven worked like a champ. We ordered both a meat lovers and a Mediterranean pizza. They were delicious with great flavor and the crust was perfect with the right amount of crispness around the edge. We will be going back. I only hope they expand the availability of the pizzas to every day.

My parents have been raving about this place forever. I was on my way over to their house and my dad was going to pick up some burgers so he grabbed me one.
One word: Wow!
What a great burger!
A place this close, this good, AND this cheap is something anyone could ever hope for! This is the kind of place Diners, Drive-​ins, and Dives is made of!
If you live in North County, go now! You will not be disappointed.

Jo Jo can make a meeeean breakfast, that’s for sure. I went to this place looking for a diner-​style breakfast with a side of charm, and that’s what was served up. My grandpa lives about two minutes away, so it’s an easy place for us to meet for breakfast since he doesn’t have to drive too far. My mom and sister joined in this time as well, and I was happy to see we could get a table right away. This place is extremely tiny… about 7 – 8 tables… so go early!
The atmosphere is a tad chaotic due to a tiny staff, but I actually enjoyed watching everything that was going on around me. Coffee was served up right away, and while it wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, it was enough to kick-​start my day. The menu has all of the classics on it, and I decided to go with two eggs over a medium, hash browns, and a side of sausage. My mom also ordered pancakes for all of us to share, for which I was so thankful… especially when blueberry syrup was brought over. Everything tasted fresh and just like grandma makes, and there wasn’t a clean plate left on the table. The best part was when our server told us she brought the hot sauce we were using from home since she had extra. Not the most sanitary-​sounding comment I’ve ever heard, but it just kind of completed the greasy diner experience for me.
Cheap food, big menu, personable wait staff, and classic charm. I’ll certainly be back!

Great friendly service and brakfast til at least lunch makes this a great stop. Coffee alas was subpar (burnt flavor) but as a bonus there is a smoke shop a couple doors down with a limited cigar selection. Get the foil «locked in» moisture ones though as the humidifier is questionable.
If you are looking to grab a bottle of single malt to enjoy with your cigar (of course youare!) the liquor store (Smart Mart maybe?) across plaza has some great single malts under lock and key (ok only some highland stuff but prety fair prices)

I had one of those moments. The kind where you drive past a place for so long, the intrigue within you builds to a point where you can’t take it anymore. You have to go! That was the case with Jo Jo’s Kitchen, a nice little diner in the Hazelwood/​Florissant area. It’s off of Howdershell road in the shopping plaza across from the fire station.
Let’s assess the checklist. Cheap? Yes. Greasy? Yes. Friendly and attentive wait staff? Yes. Let’s just say I never had an empty cup of coffee. Oh, and they have corned beef hash. Sign me up! I ordered one of their egg specials, which came with two cooked the way I wanted (over-​easy), the meat of my choice, hash browns, and toast. With coffee, my meal was only a bit over $ 7.
They also offer burgers and I noticed they are open for dinner on Saturday night, which I“ll have to try next time I visit. If you’re in North County and not feeling the usual chain place, check ‘em out. We need more places like this!
