Although the owners has changed, the restaurant was still great. The breakfast skillets were delicious and plentiful. The atmosphere was down home and the staff was friendly. read more

If you're not local they don't acknowledge or greet you for an hour or so. Very slow to get out food to us also. We were from out of state and wanted to have a local place to eat rather than a national chain. So much for small businesses! read more

Food and service was excellent! Definitely going back!. I want to try all the menu items.

This is the place to go if you are wanting a great burger! Their hamburger is home raised and it is obvious after your first bite. They s add Leo have great lunch specials. My daughter-in-law had the smothered burrito and she loved it. Great friendly service in a relaxed atmosphere! Highly recommended! read more

Good local food and fabulous service! She managed 10+ tables, cash register and we also found out she did the dishes too. Can't believe one person did all that during the lunch rush, and did it very well! Relaxing country decor with cheerful flowers, etc. read more

Best place for breakfast in the panhandle. Service is awesome. Food is deliciously. Don't pass this place up

Wonderful little restaurant for early risers. Very clean and welcoming. Food was cooked to order, fresh and delicious. Waitress greeted us with a smile, quick to bring our drinks and take our order. We're only in Sidney once a year, but it'll be an annual event going forward. read more

Grandma Jo's - #2 Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sidney, Nebraska

I'd do a zero if I could. We stopped here to eat brunch. There was a good amount of people and ratings looked good. The waitress that we saw was very rude. She said it where you want. Then my wife was looking to see if we needed to get a menu somewhere and the waitress very rude again said I am bringing you the menu and they are full service restaurant. Very rude. My wife was really nice and said we didn't know if there was ones to grab since we didn't see any. Then we realized no one had food yet and it would be a while. We left. Not welcoming at all. Going somewhere else. read more

We decided to try Grandma Jo's when we were in Sidney today. Nice and clean and the food was delicious! I had the Garden Omelet and it was the best Garden Omelet I ever had! Husband had the Chicken Fried Steak Dinner and his was delicious as well. I would highly recommend eating here. Prices were very reasonable! read more

Good food and friendly service at a reasonable price. I had country fried steak with 2 eggs, rye toast, and hash browns. Unsweetened iced tea with my breakfast. Country fried steak was homemade and not the frozen packaged stuff. Hash browns were fairly crisp. Eggs were fried hard like I wanted. Rye toast was good and buttery. They don't seem to use much salt on their food but I guess that's ok, they have a salt shaker at the table. I was there on a Friday morning and there were only around 8 other people in there so service was fast. I would go back again. Recommended read more

Great food and lots of choices on the menu.. I would highly recommend the green chili.

Such amazing biscuits and gravy, and the service is excellent. The atmosphere is very nice and makes you feel at home.

Great little local diner! Not much for breakfast in the small town of Sidney. Coffee was always topped off, service was not super fast but they tried their best! Small place, but can handle large groups! Good value too! Makes an affordable meal for the family. read more

Great breakfast spot! Nice, simple and delicious Midwest breakfast classics. The chicken fried steak and eggs is a great choice here. Friendly hometown service and a nice environment. I eat here nearly every time I'm in town. read more

service horrible, no sign saying self seating, understaffed around lunch. I was a visitor from out of town and the whole community was honestly garbage walking into that restaurant. read more

Excellent food in a small town. Owner was doing it all, waiting, busing, and dishes. True small business owner who really cares about her customers. read more

Classic little diner. I got the French toast, hash browns, egg and bacon. Everything was cooked well.

Have eaten there twice and the food is excellent. Both times there was only one waitress so service was slow, but she was very friendly and was doing a reasonable job. read more

Great local eatery. Love going to breakfast there when I am in town. The Staff is great and the food is awesome. Best part is the owner is always there making sure you are having great service and good. read more

If you aren't a local don't bother. Grandma jo herself will stand there and stare at you while you starve. I'd really recommend finding another town to eat in because besides this place there isn't anything else. Just like Nebraska. read more

While passing through Sidney on ole US 30 my wife and I enjoyed a break from the franchised style restaurants and enjoyed some real good home-style food at Grandma Jo's. The town is going through a economic turn down with the loss of jobs due to the Pro Bass take-over merger of Cabala's (sp?). We will eat at Grandma Jo's on our next trip through Sidney, NE. read more

What a pleasant surprise and a great way to start our morning as we travel across the country. Great food, really nice, friendly service and very affordable. Definitely recommend this place. read more

The Breakfast is consistently Good, Roxy is awesome and down to earth. I visit 2 to 3 times a week and she always knows my Order.

Lame... Service was slow and antagonistic... Advertised as a stop for brunch but they stop making pancakes, waffles and French toast at 11 AM!! What a bunch of BS... My "skillet", was served on a plate... Coffee was cold... locals were creepy... to top it off just too expensive... read more

Great tasting food, beats big city joints. The wheat bread was toasted in butter, extra delicious. The garden omelette over hash browns was light and fresh. Service was prompt and friendly. Recommend to all travelers. read more

Stopped in for breakfast this morning. The food is simple but done very well. Nothing was oily and the eggs were cooked perfectly. Well worth the few minutes drive off the beaten path! read more

Horriblee service. We have never been here before and we walked into a quaint little diner and waited to be sat. No one told us we were supposed to seat ourselves. After 10 minutes a customer told us. We had to walk through the restaurant to find a clean, empty table. After we were sat we waited and waited for menus. I got a chocolate milk to drink which didn't come until way later. It was the smallest glass I have ever been served in a restaurant and it cost almost $2. It was watered down and Luke warm. After waiting for food for over an hour we were served. I got cold uncooked french toast. WORST RESTAURANT I have ever been to. read more

Stopped in for breakfast during a recent motorcycle trip. Searched for food on GPS and liked the name. I typically try to avoid chain restaurants. Fast, friendly service. My son and I both enjoyed our breakfasts and my coffee cup was never empty. This is exactly the type of place I enjoy finding while traveling. Well worth traveling a bit away from the highway. read more

Absolutely lovely people. The cooking was excellent but could have benefited from higher quality ingredients. There were stellar moments - the buttery crisp toast of my sandwich's bread - and some meh moments - the bland fries that probably came in a bag. I wish I'd ordered breakfast, some of which is served all day. I think they probably do magic with eggs, flour and sausage. The staff, as I said, was great. read more

Stopped in on our way back to Texas. It was fantastic! Good service and the food was delicious. Definitely worth stopping.

Very good food, daily specials, nice friendly atmosphere. Good location right on Illinois street. Prices are reasonable.

Lovely. The food is great and it's cheap, the staff is lovely, and it's got a nice down-home feel.

Always enjoy Grandma Jo's. The food is great especially the breakfast burritos with the yummy chili on top. Coffee cup always full and the owner is super nice and runs a great breakfast/lunch cafe. We go every time we are in Sidney. Don't miss this great cafe! read more

Good, hearty food. Staff was very attentive and friendly. May have been too heavy with the gravy. Great value for the money.

We love the food and service at Grandma Jo's. Cleanest restaurant I have ever been in. We had a catered party last year and the food was awesome and the price for the party was very reasonable. read more

Great small town cafe. Friendly service, clean and well prepared basic cafe food. The French fries were excellent. Get off I-80, head to Main Street in Sidney. Leave the fast food behind! read more
