I love it here! Great food, friendly staff, and wonderful home made pies and other desserts. Their fish and chips are so yummy!! Glad to have a local place in the neighborhood and who did everything they could to work during the pandemic and serve the public in a safe manner. read more

Four stars for now, but definitely on their way to five! New restaurant in the old Peking Palace location. Very similar to Spencer's (was told that the owner used to work there). HUGE portions. We ordered the catfish dinner and the chicken fried steak. Catfish was fried but not greasy. Chicken fried steak was tender. Mashed potatoes were REAL, and the gravy was excellent. Also come with a nice salad or a cup of beef vegetable soup, full of huge chunks of fresh vegetables. Menu is very limited and dinners are heavy on the "fried" options. No desserts yet, but the owner says they'll be selling pies soon. Staff was very friendly and attentive. I recommend checking this place out. I'll definitely be back! read more

First time here at Jojo's a couple weeks ago and I didn't want to miss the opportunity to post my review of the meal I had there. I got the fish and chips which was hands down, one of the most perfectly batter fried fish dinners I've had over the last year here in Bakersfield. Well the joint was pretty empty, it was extremely clean and modern looking inside. The waitress was very pleasant and my meal was prepared in a short order. Good food and I definitely will be returning there for another selection on the menu. read more

She was eating in front of us, licked her fingers, and did not wash her hands and she kept eating in front of us and then when she was done with her food, she brought it OK she's gonna wash her hands and no she didn't. She did not wash her hands and she kept grabbing the tip of our cup read more

We decided to try a new place that a few friends recommend. It was a Friday morning around 11. The waitress sat us down quickly and handed us our menu. I ordered the ham and eggs with a side of Biscuits and gravy. The gravy was really good and tasty! When the food was served a few minutes later the chef came out to check on us and to see how the food was. Which I thought was a nice gesture. I will be returning especially because it's so close to home. read more

JoJo's is Open! JoJo's, the new American diner style restaurant, where Peking Palace used to be, is open as of Friday 6/5! Just ate there and we all had breakfast and it was great. Make sure you go support this place so we can continue to have more dining options on the east side. The menu will be expanding over time, and is small for now. Jose the owner is great, and so was our waitress! We'll definitely be back! read more

Service was great, our waitress was super welcoming. The food has a very home made taste to it, if that makes any sense. Portion sizes are not overwhelming at all, but I did feel like the French toast breakfast was "small." My boyfriend literally finished it within 8 minutes. Other than that I thought it was great! read more

I had noticed this place for quite some before finally trying it today, but hadn't tried it before because the menu seemed like diner-type food that you could find at many chain restaurants. Had I made a mistake in overlooking it? Absolutely, the food was phenomenal! I had catfish with fried okra and a side salad. Far from being Denny's-type diner fare, everything was fresh and tasty - the salad was crisp and tossed well, the catfish was top-notch and the okra was just the right amount of doneness (okra can be tricky and easy to overlook). Even the mashed potatoes stood out as flavorful and fresh - I guess I can't stress enough, everything was very fresh and delicious. I plan to go back soon and try more of the menu but just based on what I had it's hard to imagine anything not being at least good and probably very good. read more

Such a wonderful hidden gem! This place looks simple but the food is simply delicious. We've had everything from Breakfast to Dessert and everything in between. The burgers are my favorite! Such an American classic done well. Fresh juicy meat, soft bun, yummy fries, and fresh veggies! I would definitely recommend read more

We tried Jo Jo's Restaurant on Auburn/Fairfax in 93306 for the first time. I bought two Thanksgiving Turkey Plates on Thursday and we just enjoyed the meals today. They were delicious! I especially enjoyed the stuffing and my husband devoured his. This will be our 2021 Thanksgiving Plan as well. I saw they had a chili verde omelette special and we'll definitely be returning for breakfast and to try their chicken fried chicken. I've seen numerous positive reviews on nextdoorapp this past year and I can confirm they are the real deal!!! Let's take action neighbors to support this local family owned business who took a BIG risk opening in 2020 in the midst of all the challenges. They're making quality food and oh their pies. We purchased chocolate cream pie (whole pie) and 2 slices of pumpkin. Wishing Everyone A Healthy and Happy Holiday Season as Well as New Year fast approaching - to Kern County residents! (We're CA natives and arrived in Bakersfield mid-2018 and have met consistently kind and pleasant people from grocery stores to doctor's offices and neighborhoods)! As a wise person once said wherever you go you'll find what you're looking for! read more

What's not to love about this place?? We originally discovered JoJo's during Covid when we'd order out from them. Always very impressed with their dinners. Then, a friend took us here for breakfast, and we were hooked. Friendly staff, top-quality food, and even homemade pies. Plus, the biscuits and gravy is fantastic, and so is everything else we've tried on the breakfast menu. The burgers are also unbelievable!! We've never had a bad experience dining here and never had a problem finding a seat. This is a place you can chill out, enjoy your meal, have a nice conversation, and hear the other people at your table. Even when the restaurant is full, it's never loud. On top of that, the owner always comes out to check on how your meal was. Really... this is a restaurant that cares about its customers. EASILY as good as Spencer's, and you always leave with a full stomach and a smile on your face. read more

Wow amazing the food was great the service was fantastic with waitress always checking that we had everything we needed We truly recommend this restaurant breakfast , Lunch or dinner , WOW !!! read more

I happened to run across this place when I googled "breakfast," and as a person that is used to Denny's I am glad to review with 5 stars. The chicken fried steak was HUGE for the price and it wasnt greasy or gristly at all. The eggs and potatoes were done right, too. Definitely coming back soon! Chicken Fried Steak read more

Male server was horribly rude, poor service. He seemed to care only about our money rather than our experience. Not only was he unprofessional, he was argumentative with my elderly family members that questioned their meal - as it was not what was ordered. Will not be returning. I advise those who seek proper/adequate hospitality and customer service to stay far away from this establishment. Its not worth the time or money. read more

This place is a diamond in the rough. Incredibly friendly staff, and the owner/chef almost always makes a point to come out to greet his guests, despite probably being the most hardworking man alive. The food is incredible, with substantial portion sizes at a more than reasonable cost. The french fries are elevated with the perfect amount of seasoning salt. The seating and menu is somewhat limited due to COVID, but the tables are always spotless, and the specials are routinely replaced and never disappoint. Bring your friends. I would rate it six stars if I could. read more

JoJo's restaurant is better than a homemade meal at a very fair price. The staff and Jojo are so very nice and friendly. Just a note..it looks dark from the outside but they are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Open everyday 9am to 6pm for now. When Covid is over the hours will change. read more

An amazing small hole in the wall, customer service is good and we loved the pies! So delicious.

First time diner, ordered the fish & chips and catfish to go for dinner this evening. Gonna make it simple, both dinners were delicious and most importantly, fresh. Who knew you could get great fish & chips other than the coast; and Jo Jo's were way better than most my husband and I have had along the coast. The cod and catfish were both lighty battered, generous portions and not greasy. The sides were also tasty and all traveled well. Will be going back to try other entres. I should have snapped a photo to show you all how delicious it all was. read more

Stopped by today for a quick bite, it was their first day opening. I got the Bacon Burger and my wife got the Chicken Avocado Sandwich; both were delicious! Prices are reasonable and affordable and customer service was great. Multiple people checked in on us. Glad to see another restaurant in the North East. We will definitely be going back. Highly recommend. Thank you, Jose! read more

The place is very neat & clean. Staff was really nice. I ordered the chicken fried steak. I was very disappointed. It had the taste of a permafrost frozen steak, not homemade. My husband had a burger and it was not very good. Fries were limp. read more

Doesn't look like much on the outside but my girlfriend and I gave it a shot anyway. The food was great and the service was even better. The waitress was very attentive and once we were done with the meal JoJo came out and asked us if everything was good. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone in the area. read more

Great food and Great service. Great diner with that old school feel. Pies are amazing. Friendly staff, and Joe (owner/chef) takes pride in his food and makes every customer feel important. Good addition to the Eastside.. try the "Pumpkin Harvest Pie".. read more

Have been here several times. Decent food and normally good service. Was very disappointed today. Had chicken fried steak and eggs with home style potatoes. The best way to describe the food was that everything seems steamed. Nothing had any crispy edges or coating. Everything was soggy even though it was fried. Very disappointed. Rock solid service. read more

Wow. What an omelet. It was unbelievable. Served with potatoes and incredibly soft pancakes. Simply delicious!
