Not surprisingly, this place was bustling, if not jamming on a Friday late morning.

We came in on a Friday morning as a group of 5. It was around 10:30 and the place was almost full…read more We could see how popular this place is. It continued to fill during our stay. The wait staff have been working here for years. We were promptly seated, given our menus, and water and beverages served right away. The menu is fulsome but not overly extensive - to my daughter's chagrin, no eggs Benedict on offer. It's your typical diner fare with eggs/omelettes, pancakes, waffles, French toast, biscuits with sausage gravy, and sandwiches. There is a separate lunch menu that begins at 11:00a.m. which we did not look at. Breakfast continues to be served all day. I went with a French toast slam, with sunny side eggs, order of wheat toast, and link sausages. The choices of bread included rye and possibly sour dough. Some of the breads are upgrades with an additional small charge. The French toast comes with a side of cream cheese. It was nicely cooked and distinctly cinnamony. My eggs were just barely fully cooked and not slimy. The sausage was typical. My daughter had a Philly cheesesteak which included green pepper and was really nice and hot, although the steak didn't taste as robust as she'd hoped. My husband went with a typical breakfast plate. He enjoyed most of it, but left most of the home fries. The decor is country style as opposed to 50's style chrome and leather. You can choose from booths or tables. There are plenty of amusing signs to read, like, if you don't like the coffee, leave (not verbatim, I can't remember the correct wording). There's only one bathroom for one person at a time for each gender, so the wait can be awhile. It is very roomy and clean. The prices are super reasonable and the staff are fantastic. For 5 full breakfasts and refillable coffees all around, it came out to just over $62. I can see why this place is so popular. I'm betting we'll be returning next time we come down for another visit.

Food A+ Service A+…read moreAmbiance A Ok, first time visit on a late Saturday morning. Parking was plenty with a handicap entrance ramp in the back. First impression: typical diner look, a little rundown, but honestly makes you feel very comfortable. Very home-like feeling. Then came the service, then came the food. Not much to say about both other than outstanding. We had the waffles, cheese and mushroom omelette with hashbrowns and plenty of toast and bottomless coffee. Portions were huge, you won't go home hungry. Our coffee cup was never empty and we were checked on routinely to make sure everything's OK. Floor manager and the service folks were exemplary and very polite and friendly. Four stars out of a possible five but not because of the food or service When we go back for another visit, and we certainly will, if we have the same experience, I'll upgrade this to a solid five. Real nice bunch of folks at the R Diner and the food is even better. We'll be back

Everyone had so much fun picking the aptly named drinks and the Harry Potter Butterbeer was one of the top favorites. The wings were Oswego Wingfest Champions and demanded a try. The people's favorite- The Nashville Hot - got top praise from our harshest critic, while the judges' favorite- vanilla-cayenne bbq -won over the majority. Everyone agreed that the heat on both types of wings was next level without going over the line. The Bocce Balls, New England Oysters, and P.E. Island Mussels all were given top marks. The Short Rib French Dip was ordered by 1/3 of our party and was a major hit. The Nashville Hot Chicken brought the heat and also got top marks. The ambiance was great and our waitress, Stephanie, handled a 9 top like a true pro with top service. I can't wait to go back!

Almost every time I want to order there, they are closed. One time I went there at 11:30pm with a friend. The lights were on and a guy was in there but the doors were all locked. The guy said they were closed when the sign on their door said that they should be open. I just wish I didn't have to check every time to see if they're open, when I want food. If their hours were more beneficial and consistent to people they would get more costumers.

Owner Jolene Aldarado opened JoJo's Diner at 81 E. Bridge St., Oswego in October of 2025. Aldarado…read moreattended a small business program in college, but otherwise, has no backround in business. She opened JoJos after years of being a home cook to family and friends and decided to try opening her own restaurant, geared towards a more "on the go lifestyle" in her words. JoJos is aimed more at the breakfast/brunch crowd, with hours from 8-3PM, but has an assortment of items on the menu, from breakfast sandwiches to smash burgers, shakes, dirty sodas, loaded fries, and their specialty - garbage plates that they refer to as "the junkyard." My wife and I were in the mood for a smash burger but also wanted to try somewhere new. JoJos popped up in our search, so we decided to give them a try. JoJos is in an unassuming building in Oswego and while there's a sign, you'd probably miss it if you weren't looking for it. Its a small place with about 5 or 6 tables, but they are aimed more at to go or quick eats style food over sit down. It's been nicely decorated in a 50s truck diner style with license plates on the walls and bright colors all over. You give your order at the counter then either take it with you or it can be brought to you. JoJo herself took our order, as its only her and 1 other employee. I got a "don't go bacon my heart" smash burger while my wife got the double smasher junkyard plate. Food was brought quickly. Everything was hot, fresh and very good. My smash burgers was cooler perfectly, nice and crispy, the bacon was crispy and plentiful and the fries were well seasoned. My wife enjoyed her plate as well as the purple cow dirty soda she ordered. We'd definitely go back.
