I've driven by here a few times and wanted to try it out so when I had a free morning I gave it a try. It's a nice old diner with booths and a counter so I sat at the counter and got a nice sized omelet which had toast and home fries and a coffee. The service was friendly and the food came our fast and hot. The price was great and it was a nice morning breakfast. read more

Gave this place a try because of the good reviews. When I walked in it was a bit unsettling but still open-minded. As I was waited for the food, I saw a mouse run behind the counter. I told the waiter and to be honest she didn't seem quite shocked.. that alerted me. Once the food came out, it was pretty decent. Eggs were cold, pancakes as well. The sausage was hot and the bacon too. My partner also agreed and said we would not return again.. read more

Cute diner, broad menu and reasonable prices. That said d, food was OK, but not hot enough despite only 3-4 other tables being served. Tiny bathroom didn't impress. read more

Joanne's is a small, diner on Main St. that is only open until 2pm. It serves mostly breakfast; basic choices but quite tasty and lunch. Today was my first time ordering something other than breakfast. I ordered a Reuben sandwich with French fries. The only complaint I have is that I couldn't finish everything. Everything was delicious read more

The food is always good! the ambiance is amazing all the staff are nice, did I say they have good food lol love this diner read more

Amazing people neal is the best he's so friendly and makes people laugh good employees good food

Went in for a quick bfast, got a simple eggs, bacon, home fries and subbed a grilled blueberry muffin - everything was delish. I'm not usually a home fries girl, but even those were good. Husband got 2 messy muffins (bfast sands) total bill was $27? read more

I love diners and will go out of my way to enjoy one. Joann's is a bit gritty and the front of the restaurant isn't the normal "diner" facade but the service, prices, food and interior were all excellent. The bacon and eggs and particularly the home fries with peppers and onions were crisp, hot and delicious. I will certainly return. read more

We decided to give this place a try after reading the reviews. The restaurant is small and narrow, though it isn't very cramped. The wall is adorned with framed pictures and the seating choices are either booth or counter. When we arrived, most of the booths were occupied except for one near the back of the wall. We had a choice of either sitting at the counter or the booth. I opted for the booth. Daughter order the Irish eggs Benedict, which was 2 eggs, hash, hollandaise on a grilled English muffin with home fries. Our server asked if she wanted peppers and onions with her home fries and she said yes. She liked it a lot and said that she never had a Benedict with corned beef hash in it before. She said that she loves poached eggs and corned beef hash together and thought it was a great combination. Hubs ordered a hamburger and requested to be as rare as possible along with raw onions. He substituted fries for onion rings. The burger came out the way he expected it to come out, almost well done. It was greasy, which saved the burger. He liked it and thought it was tasty but fatty. He hasn't had one like this in a while. All the burgers these days are lean, so this was a good change. Finally, I had the banana pancakes which came with 3 pancakes. I loved it and thought it was nice and fluffy. Daughter loved it and shared them with me. I also requested real maple syrup, as opposed to the fake one. It was an extra charge for $1.25. The place feels like it needs a good renovation. Judging from the doors' appearance, the restrooms looks really tight and narrow. Apparently, there is a parking lot in the back of the diner. Everyone was going through this narrow door, which looks like it led to the kitchen and the parking lot. I didn't go checking it out but can only surmise that's where everyone was going. Service was friendly and quick. Will probably return when in the area to try other items on the menu. read more

We enjoyed a late breakfast/early lunch on Wednesday, taking advantage of their outdoor dining area. Tons of space, waitress was careful to distance whenever possible, we felt very safe. And with the umbrellas and a light breeze blowing it was actually extremely pleasant. From a food perspective Joanne's provides a solid diner experience at an amazingly reasonable price. Breakfast has all the usual suspects, lunch provides a nice sandwich, salad and main course selection. Plus daily specials. Everything very nicely done, well presented. I've never had a complaint here. And the servers are always very professional and personable. We'll be back. read more

At times, I've been creeped out walking by this place when it's closed. On occasion, I've seen homeless hanging out in the covered entrance way However, I still wanted to have breakfast here so I could yelp it. I stopped in on a Saturday morning. The customers were mostly local old timers at the lunch counter and a few families sitting in booths. The place is set up like an old diner with old tile floors, booths to the left and a long lunch counter with stools to the right and the kitchen straight back. The lunch counter is lined up with vintage items and each stool is patterned with old Chrysler cars including a 1973 Blue Plymouth Duster, my Mom's first big boat (car). The very basic breakfast menu offerings include eggs, omelets, pancakes, French toast, and home fries. They have a posted $5.45 breakfast special which includes a house omelet, homefries, toast, juice, and coffee. I was offered coffee ($1.25) as soon I seated myself at the lunch counter. I had a Western Sandwich on wheat ($3.35) and homefries ($1.75 very potatoey and heavy) which were okay, nothing special. The service was pretty good and courteous with frequent top offs on the coffee. Overall, a decent breakfast place where the old locals hang. read more

Just had breakfast at this wonderful cafe. Great pancakes The milkshakes are the best we've had in a very long time. And to top it off our server was the best Will definitely stop any time we are in the area read more

Old school railroad cart diner set the ambiance of this almost 100 year old diner. Food is good! The service is quick and friendly. I've been looking for a new breakfast spot since our old spot closed. I tried the biscuits and gravy and they were spot on! Will definitely be back! read more

Great food and a great old-time diner feel. If you're lucky enough, your waitress will give you a quick diner history, too! Great service and food!! read more

You want want a great hamburger at a reasonable price. That always exceeds expectations. Right here. My favorite is Swiss cheese and mushrooms/ mayo Owner and staff super people who welcome you and provide great service. Oh grill cheese fabulous with tomato. Simple pleasures at good price that you may never think about. Right on main st Nashua in a clean, period restoration that brings you back in time . Stop in you will love their fresh hot diner menu read more

Everyone was so nice! When we walked in a regular stopped my son and gave him some recommendations. Who doesn't want a milkshake with their eggs? It was definitely an all in atmosphere with everyone talking to each other. It was your typical diner breakfast for a great price. We will definitely return and get that milkshake. read more

I go to Joanne's every Thursday for breakfast. It's a classic diner with all the typical breakfast foods. The waitresses take the time to know their regular customers by name, what they order, and the food is always great. If you are looking to meet new and interesting people, I recommend sitting at the counter. I just recently met a man that does wood carving as a hobby and brought in a cowboy hat carved entirely from wood. Definitely give it a try the next time your looking to go out to breakfast and make sure to say hello to Neal. read more

I'm a regular. I sit at the counter read the paper and banter with the folks. There's easy parking in the back,you can come through the kitchen. This is easily the least expensive place in town for breakfast and lunch. The hash is amazing. read more

I've lived in Nashua for 2 years and always drove by Joanne's. I finally went this morning and YUM. I got the #1 (two eggs, home fries, toast, sausage, and a small juice). It was delish! Will definitely be going back soon! read more

Are you serious? There are still establishments like this out there? When I walked in, I thought I walked through a time warp and not in a quaint way either!! I can't believe that this place has the rave reviews that it does. When I pulled up to the shop, I wanted to keep driving. The entrance is tiny and scary looking with skeptical looking people hanging by the door. But after reading the reviews, I figured this was going to be a good local hole in the wall ... awesome place .. WRONG! So, the place is dingy and very dated (not shabby chic). The tables are covered in plastic and there are menus underneath the plastic on each table. The menu paper is so old that the edges are brown and the print is hard to read. There are barely any options for drinks. No fountain drinks, no iced tea, no iced coffee. Just canned soda (the cans are so old because I don't remember any of the can designs that they currently have). The waitress was probably in her late 70s / early 80s, but she was sharp! The only thing is ... she was complaining to the other customers about how the hospital lost power during a nuclear scan and she had to go back this afternoon for a repeat scan. She kept talking about the radioactive material they injected into her (I'm pretty sure that you shouldn't be serving food or being with the public immediately after radioactive treatments). SCARY! I ordered a cheese omelet, rye toast (I was told they charge extra for rye), and an orange juice. The food came very quick and looked bleak. I could have cooked a better breakfast at home. It didn't taste bad, but I couldn't wait to get out of there. The customers at the bar stools (I assume they are regulars) were hacking (smokers' cough) and I was getting grossed out by all the potential germs in the area. The kicker - none of them were covering their mouths when coughing. Next time I'm in town ... I will go with my gut instinct ... just keep driving!! read more

I've been here many times and assumed I must have reviewed it on Yelp. But nope, so here goes: Downtown Nashua has a number of places for breakfast. In a 3-4 block are there's Jackie's: good for muffins and pancakes, but small and often crowded; Norton's - a bit bigger, decent generally, but 50's themed (I I want to eat in Disneyland, I'll go there). Joanne's is a walk back in time. The only thing that has changed in the ten years I've been going there is that some of the brick-a-brac is dustier and I expect not much else has changed in the thirty years preceding. Including the staff. Service is friendly and efficient. They have enough booths that a single person with a paper can sit for a while. All of the booth tables are tilted a bit. This matches the clientele, most of whom are regulars. Very regulars. Everyone knows each other and the waitresses know the regular's orders. People talk across the booths. Nearly everybody in there (except me) is on Social Security. In addition to the senior set, the welcoming low-key atmosphere attracts some of society's walking wounded and down and out. There is an occasional family. It's great. The food is basic diner breakfast, nothing particularly special really, but fine. If the cook breaks one of your over-easies he'll give you an extra. They keep your cup full coffee full. Great place. Go the extra dough and order a ham steak slice, rather than ham with your eggs. Ditto for rye toast. Also, it's CASH ONLY. Remember that stuff? read more

The service was great, the food came out in a timely fashion and hot. I ordered the wynter special, Everything was good. The cook "Whitney" really knows how to cook!! Definitely going back again!! read more

AWESOME place! Upon moving into town the day before a snowstorm that shut down a lot of southern NH, (and thats saying a mouthfull for southern NH)... We walked to Joanne's in hopes of finding a good 'greasy spoon' type place near our new home. Joanne's delivers on every level what you want in a 'downhome diner'. Dated decor, menus with handwritten additions and dropped items. Most of all? Prices are diner cheap, food is diner great, and the people are diner friendly.... A tiny train car wedged in between up and coming buildings on Main St in Nashua, Joanne's is easy to miss.... But we wont forget it's there! read more

Good food, enjoyed the decour, noticed a couple of photos I had taken of Nashua in the 1980's were displayed on the wall. Will be going back for breakfast soon. Going to try lunch even sooner. Nicer than Sardie's that was at that location 50 years ago. read more

Been going here for 15 plus years the place has good food and great service what I like most is the consistency of the food coming out of the kitchen I don't think I've had to complain once in 15 years read more

Not 5 star dining, but cheap and homemade. My favorite is the veggie omelet and I add ham. It's cheesy and always comes out delicious. Servers remember you and are great about coffee refills. Joanne's is a local staple but probably not for the faint of heart :) read more

We've lived in town for 15+ years and have never been here before today. Not sure I even knew it was there! A very small and unassuming entryway on Main St. Today we decided to check it out, hoping to find a hidden gem. The atmosphere looks original to the diner (our server has been there 31 years so the diner at least that long) but some of the memorabilia was fun to look at. The majority of guests on a Monday morning would fit the same description. The food was fine. Edible but nothing worth mentioning. There were no artificial sweeteners, jams, etc on the table but the server added ketchup without my husband asking which made him happy. She was also very attentive to coffee top-offs, pleasant and accurate. I can't say our experience was bad but we won't be back. read more

The place to go if you want to see the real Nashua. Excellent service ...good food and fair prices. Not fancy. Basic fare, nice people, coffee galore. read more

Disappointing! The blueberry pancakes were from a box and had no taste. I had poached eggs and they were fine. Other than it being a family run place there was nothing else good about this place. read more

This is by far one of Nashua's Hidden treasures. I friend of mine turned me on to this little tiny Place. If you don't look carefully you will miss it if your driving up the street. There is a really cool waitress that works there, somewhere between 60 and 70 years old (I hope I did not offend her about the age range) She Is so frigging cool and really funny. Anyway, the food is excellent there It is the only place I will go too for breakfast in Nashua read more

Went in there once - just for a cup of coffee to go, because I like to find small, local alternatives to the big chain coffee shops. I have to say I got nothing but attitude - sighs and scowls - particularly when I asked for the cup to be actually filled with coffee - not 3/5 full which is how she filled it. Really rude - and the coffee wasn't particularly good, either. Too bad because it's close by, but I never went back. read more

if you like eggs and old people this place is the balls!
