I've been here before and it's a good place for breakfast. Today the restaurant was half empty, but being a Tuesday morning, not entirely unexpected. The inside is cutely decorated and there are 5 booths along one wall and about 8 tables of different sizes. A low wall seperates the restaurant into two rooms and in the other room is a counter with seating, the open cooking area and a few more tables. My server was very friendly and my order was brought fresh and hot. My softly scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked (unusually lucky for me), since most restaurants never seem to understand what soft scrambled eggs should look like. The pancakes were large and fluffy. I was very happy with my experience here and think it's a great spot for a reasonably priced and tasty breakfast. read more

This is an old time, rather dated, breakfast & lunch spot. Reasonable prices, quick delivery of food. Nothing special or unique about it. We had the hamburger and a turkey cheese deluxe sandwich. Our server asked how we wanted the burger cooked, so I had high hopes. Alas, it was thin enough that it was either gonna be still frozen or cooked through. The burger did have a nice grill crust on it. The LTO seemed fresh. The side of onion rings were served hot and were crunchy. The fries desperately needed seasoning. read more

Nice customer service. There is open seating. The food was good. We can for breakfast and it's a traditional American breakfast. Paige was our server and she was sweet and patient with us. This is a small hole in the wall that I've never knew about which is unfortunate because the food is really good. I would most definitely recommend read more

It's a greasy spoon at best and not a very good one at that! If the cook could banged his pots, pans and spatulas any louder he would qualify as drummer in a heavy metal band. My eggs were not cooked correctly, the grits are instant at best, the waitress was complaining the entire time we were there. On a positive note, the biscuit and gravy was okay, the best things we ate were the toast and the oranges that garnished the plates. read more

Stopped in for breakfast - hadn't been there since the business was sold and was curious. Sat at the counter, first seat next to the register, and the server asked me if I wanted take out. I said no, can I sit and eat here? She then asked what I wanted to drink, if I wanted a menu, then brought my drink and took my order. I ordered eggs basted; they were not - they were sunny side up, over easy. Ordered rye toast; it was slathered with margarine (way too much). Ordered home fries; happy to discover they were served with onions (although if I did not eat fried onions, it would have been an unhappy surprise). Overall: food was greasy; by the time I got out to the car, I was reaching for digestive enzymes, then 2 hours later Tums, then 30 minutes later, baking soda and water. Won't be back. read more

From the outside it was not much to look at but hunger makes you do things that you wouldn't normally do. I was relieved when I saw the window said established in 1995. Thirty years in business is no small feat. I was greeted promptly with a smile. The food came out hot, fresh and correct . It made for a nice Sunday breakfast. I would dine at Jojo's if in in the area. BTW: Excellent value Good job read more

For the last four years I have been looking for my go-to hole in the wall breakfast place. I'm happy to report, I've finally found it! The biscuits and gravy were outstanding, good service, good prices and nice people. I'm excited to go back and try the home made chili. As long as Chef Bert is there, they have a loyal customer read more

Food is good and most popular time to go seems breakfast. The ambiance is old school. And the service is good. Tip~ Go for lunch and get the cheeseburger. They use angus . No pictures I went so long ago. But behind the shell on Congress and Lantana. read more

This is exactly what you want in breakfast, simple, fresh, quick service with a smile!! The restaurant was clean, not fancy very homey. They have regulars that they treat like family and it's the best part of eating at these mom and pop places!! I wish it was closer to our home. If we are ever in the area again we will make JoJo's the breakfast place of our choice!! read more

Amazing place very friendly the owner is a great guy really cares about his restaurant read more

Jo-Jo's Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Lake Worth, Florida

Visited this established and within 15 min of seating ourselves no one ever came to greet or acknowledged us.. not sure if this was race driven or just simple poor customer service . Majority of the staff was milling around at the south end of the counter while we waited ., this is second time we had this same experience. Needless to say we left .. it's understandable why the place was empty. We both are African American businesss owners and realize the importance of service otherwise neither of us would be in business Respectfully submitted read more

New owner and so glad! Breakfast was great and the service was also. Definitely going back, a lot!

Staff is friendly. Atmosphere is homey. Food is good. Menu has extensive selections. Prices are very good.

I love the food, but lately the service is not acceptable. The new owner needs to make some changes and see to it that they stick to his plans. A good example is that everything says they are open til 2 but you can't usually get in at 1. Doors locked up and everybody leaving. The folks are all very nice but not doing anything to keep Long time customers. read more

Waitress was condescending and impatient I'm 68 and wear glasses so it took me a minute to decide what to order She rolled her eyes and walked away read more

The dining area was cozy but dated. It had a small town vibe. The food perfectly prepared in plain sight. Service was excellent. We conversed with the new owner and got his history with the place. He gave us a sample warm muffin! read more

New ownership I went there for breakfast on. 12/10/24 the service was excellent. The food was fresh, and everybody was very friendly as it turned out. I was chatting with the person sitting at the barstool who was the new owner. He said I was having difficulty making up my mind as exactly what to get, and once I decided he offered me, a special type of cheesy grits that was not on the menu gratis. It was quite good. I will definitely go back there. read more

The owner of this cafe is the most disrespectful rude disgusting person I have encountered. He is as sour and old as his fruit salad. A bad choice, and if you have an issue, be prepared for a verbal assault and accusations. I have never experienced being reprimanded and yelled at for returning an item - which was an old, soggy, acidic, uneaten fruit salad. He's a big bully behind his cash register. Nice waitress read more

I was in the area for a quick weekend class I was taking at a school in the next plaza over and in the next plaza over and upon looking up "local restaurants near me" jojos popped up. While I'm usually the person to stay away from an unknown place I have to say JoJos was definitely a cute spot. They have a beach house vibe on the inside and the servers where all super nice. If I'm ever in the area I'll definitely be back! read more

DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS. TERRIBLE SERVICE. 2 older waitresses were very rude from the moment we set foot in this dump. They never checked on the table or asked how the food was, they rushed every moment of our ordering and made us feel unwanted. NEVER WILL RETURN Food was also cold when it arrived and they refused to send any food back. read more

Just not my kind of place ,appeared very dirty ,my hair and my clothes still smell like this place 3 hours later I opted for a quick bite ordered a BLT(Safe choice ) that looked like I made it in my kitchen with left over bacon scraps and wilted lettuce and Unripe tomato slice .A bad choice on my part terrible ventilation ,you will leave smelling like you worked there all day . Slim pickings in this neighborhood for sure . read more

Food was average. Service is the reason I would not be back. It appears if you're not a "regular" they don't care how long you sit and wait to be greeted. We had to physically flag someone down to even bring us menus. Pricey for the portions you get. read more

Smelt like grease for days. Everything tastes like it comes from a can. Nastiest most unpleasant staff i have ever seen. 2 older waitress are just rude and miserable. Food came out hot and tasted good but I couldn't get over the filth and roaches sneaking by. Even if they cleaned the place and got proper ventilation I wouldn't go back simply because of the attitudes of the wait staff. They used to have nice friendly waitress. read more

This is the little breakfast joint that my fiancé and I always go to. It's very small but offers Delicious food with big portions. You get a lot for the very little you pay. YUM read more

We have been many times before and it was always pretty good. We went yesterday and it was the worst food I've ever had at a diner. Everything was cold. The cheese on the eggs wasn't even melted. The service was ok. But once she dropped the food we never saw her again it was almost like she knew the food she knew was bad and was embarrassed to come back. So we ate the toast paid and left.. read more

Excellent service, excellent food. Biscuits and gravy to die for. We had party of 7 and they served us very quickly. Food hot as one would expect. Prices cheap for quantity of food we received. Will definitely go every weekend for breakfast!!! Thank you! read more

Sad what this place has become. This USED to be my husband and my weekend breakfast place. Then the waitresses changed a couple of years ago. I think the previous waitresses were there for like 10 years. I was sitting at a booth and there was a man a few booths down who got up and was making his way up to the register to pay as the waitress goes to his table to pick up her tip. She loudly said "Oh he left a dollar, well you can keep it since you must need it more than me" I was shocked. The man did not turn around and he was older so not sure if he heard the rude comment. The register is up on the counter. He was standing at one end paying while the rude waitress was at the other end of the counter now asking the other waitress "Here you want this, its a whole dollar" we were mortified and haven't went back for about a year. Today our normal spot was crowded, there was a wait and it was a rainy day so we decided to head over to Jo-Jo's. We got in and sat down. We had to get our own menu, the waitress comes and we place our order. She noticed we had no silverware and said she would bring us some. I ordered over easy eggs with grits and sausage along with lightly toasted dry rye. I even said it twice. She brings out the toast with the food and asked if it was ok because she knew it was not lightly toasted. I would have said yes but it was swimming in fake butter. I like to cut up my eggs and mix in my grits and make it almost like a sandwich. We still had no silverware but she brought that to us right away after we had to ask again once she put the food and check down. Well I ate the sausage, she took other orders, delivered drinks and delivered other tables food. My husband and step daughter had already finished their food and at this point my eggs were cold when she finally brought the toast 30 minutes later. I told her I ate the sausage but my eggs were now cold and everyone else was already done and please remove it from my bill and just keep the sausage on there. Well the bill was already on the table so when I brought up to register the owner was taking the money. I explained to him what happened and to please remove it from my bill. Instead of apologizing for the obvious mishap on their end he said "Well did you eat any of the grits" really ??? Are you kidding me?? I told him no as I cut up my eggs and mixed the grits into it and like to put on my toast that did not come until almost 30 minutes later. He still over charged me because I thought the total was high and even grabbed a to go menu and the bill should have been about $3 cheaper. Sorry, but you only get so many chances in my book. read more

Dont know whats going on with this place got in at 9:17am its 9:51am and yet no one has taken drink order or realized I was sitting place has one server and all tables are busy people waiting to cash out owner should be out here helping this employee out instead of letting people walk out read more

Ate here after a procedure at JFK in spite of the only review posted I thought the food was really good and the waitress (I'm sure she was the same one from the other review) was a real hoot. My wife had pancakes which were really light and fluffy. I had biscuits and gravy with eggs and home fries. Iced tea was great. It's a joint, lighten up. read more

Great breakfast spot. Don't let the negative review keep you from trying it. They've been there forever, must be doing something right!

My wife and I had breakfast here this morning. The ham and eggs, potatoes were delicious. My wife had grits, biscuits and gravy. She is from Jax and as a southerner has high standards for her grits, biscuits and gravy. Jojo's passed muster. Service was good, food was tasty and hot. Also the owner came around to see that al was well. Nice touch for a cafe. We will be back! read more

If you love a good little dive cafe, this is the place to go! The food is extremely inexpensive, but you get a lot of it! Wait staff is extremely friendly, quite a riot actually! Food comes out REALLY fast and coffee is always topped off! read more

Place looks like a shit hole. Went down hill. Big time disappointment. Just spent $45.00 on breakfast that was inedible. Pancakes were like rubber, bacon was burnt and tasted like dog (literally). The owner walked over to see what was wrong so we flat out told him and his response was very defensive as if we were the problem. We told him about the pancakes and his response was it's impossible he buys the box from Sam's and just adds water!... and just walked away with an attitude.LOL Classic! Owner looks like he just got back from riding his motorcycle in the Mojave Desert and then took a bath in motor oil.... read more

This place reminds me of an old truck stop. Greasy but good food. Friendly waitresses. It may not be the cleanest place but I didn't see anything offensive. I would definitely come here again. read more

dropped in on a whim. good onion rings, decent chicken salad , nice wait staff,for lunch ...great price.. fair atmosphere.. would go again

Was in town for the weekend went there for breakfast breakfast was outrageously good for the value you get a decent sized portion and service is great period went back the following day for lunch and found that they had the best cheeseburger ever had a long time their food is excellent and the service is just a neat little place read more

This place has gone down ever since Kim left. And the owner does not care how his business has dropped off. The waitresses he has there always seem to be on something. They don't pay attention to the tables. People sit there and are overlooked. I remember going there on the weekends and that place use to be packed. And now it is like a handful of people there on the weekends. WAY TO GO. Bring Kim BACK... read more

We have been to Jo-Jo's many times. Use to love going for breakfast but the last 2 weekends we have been there and the wait staff is horrible. Food is still good as it has always been but the waitress need some training. 2 weeks ago we were eating and the waitress decided she couldn't wait for us to finish eating and reached across our table to get the sugar bowl to refill it. Her hair was hanging across the food not to mention her arm pit was in my face. Last weekend we thought we would try it again. This time the waitress brought our food and when she gave my husband his plate there was gravy on the bottom of his plate. I mentioned it to her and she replied with " I did the best I could do". Really, she couldn't take a napkin and wipe off the bottom of the plate so he didn't get gravy on his shirt. Won't be going back there until they hire new waitress's. read more

This review is particularly difficult to do. I'll 1st say that the food was actually pretty good. However due to other actions. I couldn't enjoy my breakfast. The 1st thing I noticed after I was seated was the waitress. She had the kind of look that you don't want around your food. She was apparently responsible for the toast. She was using her bare hands to put in and take out toast. She let that station to handle money and came back without washing. She scratched her head using her nails and continued handling the toasts. Ok should have left then but I didn't. So the food comes and I'm thinking these potatoes are good and the omelette is good as well then I hear the most disgusting burp ever from either the same waitress or another one right in front of that toast machine. OMG really. My guy was actually facing that direction and the expression on his face was pure disgust. Seriously we could have had a good experience but to put it plainly it just doesn't seem sanitary. read more
