We are frequent patrons of Jo's Grille and love their food. Unfortunately, when Jo, the owner, was away for Thanksgiving, we had a horrible experience. We ordered a $100 dinner for 4 to go. My husband picked it up and asked the woman twice if she put the baked potatoes in. When we opened the order, there were no baked potatoes. Its especially frustrating, because they charge extra to substitute the potatoes! When we called the restaurant, the server who packed the order told us wed have to come get the potatoes and refused to compensate us, bc "she'd have to buy our meal!" She then offered to deliver them to us right away. We said okay. 45 mins later, a customer pulls up to our house with the potatoes! They were cut open, cold, and one was brown on the inside! We called and she said give us our money back, but we'd have to come in and collect the cash. She was so rude and lied to us! This is pathetic and dishonest. Unless we hear from Jo, we won't be returning here, as they don't care about their loyal customers. read more

Jo's Grille - Seafood Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I love this place! Great for families! Outdoor patio is awesome and you can look at out Blackburn park. Wonderful burgers and fish. The owners are super nice and really get to know their customers. This is the perfect local place to meet up with friends or enjoy the beautiful Atlanta weather. read more

Love the atmosphere- it's comfortable and welcoming. I have a Greek salad that was very good and a shrimp kabob that was cooked perfectly and served with seasoned rice. I will definitely come back. read more

Visiting family. I don't know why they like this place. It seems we always eat here at least once when I visit. The food is not very good. In the past I have had a number of menu items. There has never been anything I wanted to order a second time. This time I asked if the gyro was any good. Family reported that someone has ordered it and liked it. Well, they must have no taste buds. A tiny bit of over cooked meat and some shredded iceberg lettuce on an unheated bland small piece of pita that was just folded over like a street taco. Fries were cold. Blah. It would be my desire not to eat here again, but I probably will. Family ya know. read more

No clue how there are ANY good reviews for this place! ABSOLUTELY one of the WORST meals I've EVER had and it cost me $40!!! Calamari=HORRIBLE, Caesar Salad=HORRIBLE, Quesadillas=HORRIBLE, Grilled Chicken=Rubber & HORRIBLE, Cheese Ravioli= Taste like a Stouffer's Frozen meal....actually Stouffer's frozen meal would have been better!! The kitchen has no idea what seasoning is much less salt. The wait staff can't explain the menu nor what a dish taste like. NEVER AGAIN WILL I COME HERE!!!!! read more

Dry chicken wings, soupy nachos. Don't bother with this place. On top of it all the owner was disrespectful and rude.

This place is great! I tried it the first time this past week when my softball team went after a game, and it was delicious!! I had the beef roulade, which is beef marinated in teriyaki sauce, and wrapped around asparagus and scallions (I had mine sans scallions, since I hate them). The beef was tender, delicious, and well marinated! The service was excellent, and they even accommodated our odd requests for bags of ice (injuries from the game). The second time I went to Jo's was just a couple of days after my first visit, it was that good! I was with my friends, and we were trying to find a place to eat after watching a softball game, that would allow my dogs on the patio. At first I was concerned they wouldn't allow the dogs in the patio, which I've encountered at other restaurants, but we noticed other dogs, so we went and sat down. I tied the dogs up to the railing, and prepared their water bowl, and as I turned around, the waitress came out, with two dog bowls, filled with water, just for my dogs. I was really impressed! They keep a stack of dog bowls in the back to cater to their canine guests. Not a lot of restaurants do that! The servers were very accommodating in regards to my animals, and even petting them, though my oldest is a rather big dog, that many are scared of, even though he's a teddy bear. Great place for anyone with dogs. Also the service was excellent! There were three humans in the party, and we all had a quesadilla, one chicken, one shrimp and one beef. We all agreed they were absolutely excellent, and very large. Both of my friends had to get boxes to take half of theirs home, they were so large. Overall an excellent restaurant. Good service, great food, and if you have dogs, a great place to bring them out to! I plan on frequenting this place after softball, whether I have my dogs with me or not. read more

It's not terrible, but definitely not worth seeking out. The house salad was pre-made and already looking a little tired at 12:15 PM. I ordered it without onions, but since it was pre-made I ended up removing them myself. Next I got the fish tacos, which would have been okay except they were DRENCHED in this god-awful sauce that seemed to be a mixture of remoulade, Sriracha, and mayonnaise. Decent service, which included frequent drink refills, were the saving grace of this otherwise forgettable lunch. read more

Business lunch...that part was productive. Not sure what else I can rave about here. Shrimp salad was the most boring thing I have ever seen. Field greens were pulled out of a costco bag and a few shrimp on top? Serious? Even my guests meal looked ho-hum. I wanted to like it but seriously won't find a reason to go back. Why were there so many people here? And only a few reviews? They have been around for at least 7 years+ read more

I never would have considered visiting this restaurant if my friend hadn't suggested it. I lived in Brookhaven for so many years and I never visited any restaurant that preceded Jo's. The building just looks like a pub/dive that would serve greasy food. Jo's almost lived up to that expectation. Fortunately, the menu included a grilled shrimp kabob with steamed rice and a salad, which both my friend and I ordered. We were not in the mood for a pile of grease. The kabob was excellent. It would have been more excellent with more than one mushroom and one small piece of pepper. The rice was edible. The salad was a salad. The price was pretty outrageous for a dive, but service was good. I doubt I will go back, but it wasn't a terrible visit. I can make the same size kabob, rice and a salad at home for about $3.00, instead of $13.00. read more

Thouroughly enjoyed my first experience here. Menu is pretty straightforward, but the execution was pretty flawless. We got spinach artichoke dip with chips as appetizer and it seemed homemade. I got the ahi tuna steak special which was simply grilled and a side of grilled veg. Both were actually grilled and well seasoned. Hubs got Maui chicken sandwich which was tasty. Fries were fries but I've certainly had worse. Daughter got buttered linguine and garlic toast which was definitely tastier than typical kids fare. We will be back and I would recommend you certainly try it out. Oh and don't let the outside deter you, definitely more high end inside! read more

Jo's is nice little spot for lunch or dinner. The food can be hit or miss sometimes, but my favorites are the chops and burgers. The burgers are especially good. Seating is comfortable for dine-in. Indoors or out on the patio. Sometimes I order take-out and sit @ the bar with a beer watching tv while I wait. And sometimes I sit @ the bar and order more beer and watch more tv when it's done. read more

This is one of the worst places I've ever been to. Wings tasted like watered down, puffed up, steroid injected pieces of meat. They weren't even tossed properly in sauce. They just fried them, threw them on a plate and squirted sauce over them. DISGUSTING. Fries tasted like old oil. Burger was OK. The bill ended up being $30+tip after 10 wings, a burger, and fries. I'm so dissapointed thinking about what kind of an actual meal We could of had with $30. read more

Odd place. Food and service was quick, but the quality if the food was average at best. Nothing to rave about. I had Rusty's Dog...hot dog with chili and cheese and fried okra. Hot dog was a good quality dog. Not likely to be on the list to visit again. read more

This by far has been the worst experience ever. The visit started like a normal visit. I ordered shrimp quesadilla and sweet tea. Once I finished eating my dinner the waitress brought the check. My check was only $13.59. I paid with my bank debit card then reviewed my mobile banking app. I saw that the charge had gone through but the waitress returned to my table and said it was declined. I proceeded to show her the app then spoke with the owner. Their system showed the funds had not gone through however I had an authorization number as well as 13.59 deducted from my account. This disagreement became so frustrating that the owmer demanded I contact Brookhaven Police Department. Brookhaven Police Department arrived on the scene. He was very angry that he had been called because he stated this was a civil matter. I proceeded to a conference call with my bank. My bank confirmed to the owner that $13.59 had been successfully deducted from my account. The owner was livid. He stated that his machine shows that it had not gone through and he wanted me to pay twice. Well you know that I refused to pay twice. He finally agreed to listen after the Wells Fargo representative assured him that the transaction was successful. I am 43. I have never gone through this type frustration in my life. I wanted to grab his neck and squeeze so hard LOL I was so humiliated in front of these patrons.. Lesson learned.. Do not visit this establishment. I will share this with my family and friends. I will never visit here again... also smaller businesses sometimes don't have the Necessary Technology to see transactions in real time. He is attempting to run his establishment with old Antiquated equipment then blame customers for failure. I honestly believe had I not been a minority that I would not have been treated with such disrespect. So this takes the situation to an entirely new level.. Pathetic read more

Jo's Grille - Worst ever!!! - Seafood Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Grease city, even the water cups and salad were greasy. If eating healthy is your goal, there are many better options nearby I recommend trying. read more

Lemon pepper wings were pretty solid. I had the burger. Good charred flavor, but could use a little more salt. Still pretty solid. Pricing was pretty cheap as well. I live around the corner and this place always has customers. I'll definitely be back. read more

Tried this great family owned restaurant tonight for the first time after living in the neighborhood over 10 years and loved it! Great food. Very tasty. Well prepared and just to our liking. My husband had sea bass and a hot wings appetizer our son had a delicious looking kids burger and I had a grilled shrimp salad. Our friends ordered the chicken wrapped in lettuce leaf dish and said it was delicious too! The atmosphere was very friendly and relaxing but still energetic (Saturday night). So glad to know about this place now and sorry it took us so long to try it!! Will be back soon! read more

Jo's has been our go-to local spot for burgers for at least 7 years now. On occasion, we'll get the shish-kabob which is also delicious. My daughter will get the mac'n cheese which is quite yummy but i always have to finish it for her since it comes in a good portion. Service is good - never had issues. read more

Nice neighborhood restaurant. Ate out on the patio so didn't see much of inside. Wide menu, great service and fantastic service. They also let you bring your pup on the patio with you while you eat. read more

It's a small local place. Great atmosphere. We love going here. Great menu selection and the burgers are amazing. Their fries and onion rings are great to. Everything on the menu I would order. read more

Good place to go with family. We like the Salmon BLT. Good beer selection, friendly staff. Always be sure to check out their daily specials. It does get crowded in their parking lot when there are big sporting events at the park next door. read more

Close to home and very reliable, just don't pay any attention to the "style" inside, it's all over the place! But you're there to eat and drink, and they do that well... read more

Not a bad lunch spot. I got the wings and fries which were pretty good, but not the best I've ever had. I'd go back, for sure.

I have been going to Jo's for years & I regret that I have never posted a review. This place is rare in Atlanta - family owned, casual, great service by staff that have been here for years (including the cooks), great atmosphere (fireplace in the winter, beautiful new bar, outside patio). The food is consistently very good and they source fresh fish & meats that show up on their daily specials list, at a great price. I've gotten to know Jo & Howard over the years & they are great people. Check this place out! read more

Great local restaurant. Management is friendly and everything is super fresh. Usually very quick service even when it is crowded.

If you hate bullshit chain food as much as I do this place is a nice alternative to packaged frozen dinners. I have enjoyed the sea bass, fish and chips and the ribeye steak salad. Great service and all the food is prepared fresh and served at proper temperature. Full bar and a lot of fun to share stories with the local residences as this is a pure local family owned place. Howard is a great guy and I have enjoyed all meals at Jo's! read more

Great find! I love that their menu sells burgers in two sizes: 1/2 pound and pound!! I had the western burger cooked medium rare for $9.95 (cajun fries included). We sat outside. The service was quick and everything came out correctly. It was very tasty and I plan to return. read more

Went here after a reception for a light bite. Three of us shared edamame, nachos, and the Greek salad. Edamame was steamy, with kosher salt. Just as hoped for. Nachos were messy-lots of canned jalapeños on it. Did the job, but not remarkable. Greek salad was lovely - we'll done, fresh greens, good feta, nice vinaigrette. We didn't add any protein. Was our first time here - looks like generally basic American fare, reasonably well done. read more

Great little Neighborhood gem. Always remember you when you come back. The outdoor furniture could use some work but we love going there

Our family has been frequent diners at Jos Grille for over 10 years! It is a great spot to see neighbors and to bring the kids after a ball game at Murphy Candler Park. The food is great and we always enjoy seeing Howard and Jo when we are there. The Shish Kabob's are the best! read more

Food was ok but nothing to write home about. Asked for a medium burger. Came out well done. Biggest complaint is this place is a dive but charges over $4.00 for a Miller Lite! That is half of what a burger costs at this place! It cost us close to $50.00 for 4 beers and 2 burgers. If you want ok food not cooked like you want it, than this is your place. If you want to enjoy some time with friends over a few beers and a snack, then this is NOT the place. Oh, and the owner decided it was a good idea to enjoy a cigar directly next to our table when our food was ordered. read more

Had a Philly Cheese with fries and an iced tea. With a tip, $15. Plenty of food but not more than edible.

As the description labels them as family-friendly they certainly are not friendly on any level of the word. Even skittish at that. "Bob", as he called himself, was rude and even frantic in his responses. No wonder they don't give out their real names. Our office has eaten there many times and had even recommended them to others but will never go back there again and will be sure to steer all away from this place! read more

Manager is extremely rude. I had long black hairs on my chicken wings (I am blonde) and the manager told me they were "hairs from the chicken". Umm...no. Three weeks before that, my friend ordered 20 wings (half sauce and half lemon pepper). 10 were wrong and the manager told her if she drove back she could get new wings but had to return the food. Who even does that??? Their health inspection is already in the low 80's. I will be calling the health department on Monday. read more

Like another reviewer - I really wanted to love Jo's. It's in a great area that needs some more well run independently owned restaurants. The Perimeter Mall area is full of good and bad chain restaurants that are typical for an area surrounding a mall. When we moved to the area, I was pleased to find this quaint little restaurant tucked in next to the park. I wanted to like the restaurant so badly because it was one of the only non-chain places in the area that I lied to myself after several trips but i finally admitted that this place just isn't that good. The inside decor is great because it used to be a Caribou Coffee house - the food is very average and really overpriced for what you are getting. There are only two reasons this restaurant stays open - because this area is desperate for a non-chain restaurant and it's gets business from all the next door park goers wanting a quick meal or a few beers after a softball game. Nothing on the menu is special and seems like a Sysco supplied variation of anything I could make at home with ingredients form the freezer. They up charge a good amount for sweet potatoe fires when the actual cost difference should be negligible. Parking can be an issue but if the food was descent, it wouldn't even be worth mentioning. The service is decent and they occasionally have well priced food specials and $3 Sam Adams pint drafts. My wife and I are actually cheering for this place to fail because we know a descent restaurant could really succeed in this area. read more

Food is good- nice casual neighborhood place. However, tables, chairs and floors are worn and unclean looking. Low health grade. Need to spiff it up to make it a real gem that it could be! read more

One of the best straight a head hamburger in town, shouldn't mess with a good thing. Service is crazy fast and friendly. patio is nice overlooking Blackburn Park. A bit much with Johnson Ferry Road noise, but highly recommend this neighborhood eatery. read more

I had a really nice lunch at Jos. The food was reasonably priced and a little better than expected at the price point. The service was efficient but the indifferent attitude does the chef no favors. I went out of my way to tell our server how much I enjoyed my lunch but she just smiled. I finally told her how much I liked the special sauce on the fish taco and could she tell me what was in it. Her response was, I don't know and I don't care. I just serve. Whoa! Is that what the chef wants from their servers? My response to the server was, well if someone asks, you can say that customers like the dish. She said yeah sure. That is pretty pitiful now isn't it? read more

Poor service! I had a pink, undercooked chicken burger so I asked for a replacement. The manager came out twice to argue with me and accuse me of making things up- after I clearly showed the waiter the pink in the burger! Of course, friends with me who were all eating the same burger and also saw the pink in just my burger had to prove me right. Cancelled that order right away and obviously never coming here again! read more
