Found myself in Benson after dropping off a dog for a grooming appointment and realized I was running on nothing but caffeine, so breakfast at Jojo's Diner it was! It was a weekday around 10:30 AM, so the vibe was relaxed and not too busy -- perfect for a mid-morning bite. They've got some great weekday specials, and I went for the one where you pick three items for $10 (plus coffee or juice included -- love that!). I chose pancakes, chorizo patties, and scrambled eggs, expecting a modest plate... but wow, the portions here are no joke. Three giant pancakes, two chorizo patties, and fluffy eggs later, I realized I'd be taking half of it home. The pancakes were classic and comforting -- nothing fancy, just really solid diner pancakes. The chorizo patties didn't have a ton of kick but were still good paired with a little syrup (don't judge me). My server was the only one working the floor, but she was super friendly and impressively efficient. All in all, Jojo's is the kind of place that reminds you why diners are such gems -- hearty food, fair prices, and a cozy, come-as-you-are atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Benson and craving a no-frills breakfast that hits the spot.

Enjoyed all the food at Jojos, I recommend getting their pancakes! The biscuits and gravy tasted exactly how they looked.

My first time here - looks great!

I was pretty disappointed with my Patty O'Melty. A little sprinkle of finely diced raw onion was not what I was hoping for here. I was expecting that the "drunken onions" would be at least sautéed. Maybe I was supposed to be drunken to appreciate them. 2 patties, sprinkle of raw onion, no sauce, single cheese slice, rye bread. So...we got the patties, but coming up short on the "melt". Pretty dry. Fries were ok, but the problem is that they weren't salted, and this was a to-go order. No salt was included. The place looks cool, and was clean and inviting. My order was ready quickly. I'm giving 4 stars because I think this could have been better dine-in, or at least we could try to make it better. It was a pretty good price, burger + fries for $13. But it was not very tasty. I would be willing to come back and try something else sometime.

Breakfast Chimichanga

Generally whilst I am working all over and across the USA there are more dining experiences than . This here breakfast Chimichanga at JoJo's Diner in Omaha NE is outOsite andDeliciousO and I am not an fan of Chorizo sausage but for this exception I'll say I Love It

Not to say there isn't decent food here but the experience we had was underwhelming. There seemed to be an issue with the food matching what the menu offered. Caesar salad didn't have grilled chicken or cheese, and they added tomatoes...which I picked off and the server clearly noticed but didn't acknowledge. They were out of fries at 5pm on a Saturday - the kiddos didn't mind though and did state they had the best tater tots to exist. Mac and cheese was not rotini pasta but rather elbow pasta, which can be forgiven but it was not very flavorful either. Pancakes offered whipped butter and seasonal preserves but did not receive those either, just a cup of maple syrup and packaged butter. Service was quick but not warm and inviting. Had to ask for multiple items like silverware and napkins, at one point our server had to "run across the street"?Restaurant was not busy, maybe two tables upon arrival. Food came out almost immediately after ordering which was great for our hungry bellies. Not sure what is to blame for these issues we encountered, maybe the cooks were not trained properly on plating and recipes or we came at an off time?? The photos on other reviews look phenomenal but that's not what was served to us. Also, no kids menus are offered. Thought a cute little diner would be more kid friendly. Even though they walked away satisfied, I'm not sure I'll visit again considering I did not receive what I ordered and yet paid the prices listed.

We stopped in for brunch at Jojo's as the menu looked like some interesting twists on traditional brunch dishes. The restaurant has a fun diner vibe which is perfect for breakfast. We ended up ordering a short rib hash, a Nashville hot chicken sandwich and horchata pancakes. The horchata pancakes were absolutely killer. Both the Nashville hot chicken and the short rib hash badly needed salt as it seemed the cooks forgot to apply any at all. The short rib also unfortunately leaned slightly on the drier side, but it did have good flavor after salting. Our server was very nice, checked on us frequently and we were able to chat for a bit after our meal. I'd come back as I'd like to explore a bit more of the menu and the dishes were reallllly close to being a home run (just remember to salt!)

Chicken Parm
Bev C.

Brother suggested we stop here for brunch while in the area. Glad we did! It was fabulous! Starting with no wait, followed by a wonderful waitress and food. I had the Chicken Parm sandwich, which was really good, the fries were cooked to perfection, crispy and soft in the middle. My brother had the Chicken fried steak with eggs, hashbrown and a pancake. We both dabbled in a 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy. We waited a bit for this but it was worth it! Definitely made fresh! Everything was hot and delicious. Fell in love with our waitress and can't wait to go back to see her and try some other dishes.

I was excited to get to Jojo's Diner in Omaha, Nebraska. My first diner in months, but also my first diner in Nebraska. Living on the west coast, it feels as if diners are fleeting moments, but I try to get to them when I can. We hit up Jojo's Diner on the way out. I wasn't terribly hungry, but I still wanted to get to a diner. There are three locations, and we opted for the location on Military Avenue because it was on our way to the airport. Jojo's Diner Atmosphere: The outside of Jojo's Diner doesn't scream diner. It's located on a main street and is walkable, but it's not a standalone building like you imagine most diners are. Is that bad? No. When you walk into Jojo's Diner, it looks like everything you imagine in a diner. There are brightly colored walls, retro tables, and booths. Plus, you can sit at the counter and watch them make meals. I always love an open layout where I can watch them cook. Jojo's Diner Food: Jojo's Diner's menu has almost anything you want in a diner. It's not a huge menu like some of the East Coast options, but there are plenty of good diner foods. I decided on the avocado toast and one of the salads. I started with one of the salads. I was surprised when it had ranch dressing. I'm not a huge ranch fan, so it wasn't my favorite salad. It had fried chicken, coconut shreds (interesting), lettuce and strawberries.The salad was fresh but ranch dressing was not great. The Avocado Toast was tasty. I've never had avocado toast at a diner before and why I gravitated towards it. It tasted good, and I was a big fan. I would definitely order it again. Service: The Service was ok. I was kind of disappointed that we arrived there and it took a bit for anyone to even acknowledge we were there (and they weren't busy). Once they did, our food was ready fast, so I can't complain about that. It seems like a lot of people have issues with the service here. :-( Cost: $ I am used to California prices, so the fact that I could walk with a salad and toast for $14 was a good deal to me. Most meals are around $10, which is how diners should be. Would I Come Back? I enjoyed my food at Jojo's Diner, and I would probably come back. Was it my favorite diner ever? No, but it was a good stop. I would definitely try something else though.

Patty O'Melty Sando
Terry O.

Here I am at JoJo's again but this time in Benson instead of West O. The place is smaller than West O, but definitely has a diner vibe with the tiny black and white behive floor tiles and bright colors. I'd come here again because of the chairs-- so tall but not stools and easy to get up from. The floor is also great for pulling your chair up to the table. Bookguy discussed ordering chicken fried steak or chicken fried chicken, with Brandon, the waiter, because he often finds the dish too dry. Brandon suggested the chicken and Bookguy was very pleased with it. He enthusiastically said he would get it again, high praise indeed. I wanted a vegan waffle with seitan, but they don't serve that anymore. I ended up with a patty o'melty, which is, of course, a patty melt. The sandwich had two beef patties along with mozzarella cheese, onions, and chow chow on rye. I don't know what chow chow is, but it didn't make any difference to me, because it seemed like a normal, but extra meaty patty melt. I only ate half, and a few of the French fries which seemed slightly under cooked. Brandon was an attentive waiter and brought my to go box for the 1/2 sandwich before I even asked. We liked everything about JoJo's and will be back to try other menu items.

Breakfast burritos
Chad C.

Came here for breakfast on a weekend morning, and sat at the bar. Ordered the breakfast burritos (fried) and some orange juice. The service was amazing, I believe it was the owner (or maybe just the manager). However, every other employee was either sitting down, or completely inattentive. The owner/manager had to keep disciplining her employees and it was a tad awkward for patrons. As I said, the service was great, but the food was rather atrocious. The burritos were extremely over-fried, almost like a gas station roller. The silver lining was that the manager (or owner), was very kind and attentive, but it just couldn't make up for the food unfortunately.

Benedict and Blueberry Pancake
Jana J.

Great brunch spot! Affordable and plenty of options, but not overly impressive. Great place if you want some options though. When we went they were extremely short staffed and it showed, but really no issues. Popular place for brunch and I appreciate how late they serve it!

Sara M.

We were a party of 8 on a Sunday morning. We called other places and the wait was 2 hours...then we found Jojo's! It was a perfect little neighborhood diner. Coffee strong, service good & the food was so yummy. With 8 people we had a variety of items, from a breakfast sandwich all the way up to peanut butter banana pancakes. Everyone was happy. I would suggest you get their sausage Pattie's. They use a homemade recipe and it was so flavorful! If in Omaha and you like to explore the off the beaten path, go here in the Benson ar

I've been wanting to go for a while. Will probably try again sometime because there were several dishes I was thinking about getting today. Service was nice but slow. Took about 30min to get the small plate appetizers and about 20 more to get the main dishes. They were all pretty room temperature though when we got them. Doesn't make sense considering we were looking at them come up and it was within 2 minutes of the bell ding that our server brought it to us. Could have been because we were stuck back in the corner behind the juke box by the bathrooms. Not sure. Will definitely request other seating next time like up on the bar or in the main area instead. The brussels were good. The ones in the middle buried were hot still. The cinnamon roll was definitely huge and fresh. I ordered the brecky skillet and it had more veggies than pork belly but was nice. My oldest chose the steak and eggs skillet without mushrooms. It came out with mushrooms still but he just moved them out of the way. The steak was very good. No complaints from the youngest and his cheese omelette. Our aunt ordered the supa fried chicken and she seemed to enjoy it. Got full off the drumstick and a bit of the greens and mac&cheese. I'm not sure if its the one off of being separated into the weird back corner that affected the visit or if its just the norm based on the other reviews I skimmed while waiting for our orders. Will certainly try again though as the tot nachos and barbacoa grilled cheese both sounded good.

I was so delighted to see a beautifully decorated latte; in a simple white shallow mug, delivered direct to my table.

The dinner service manager is knowledgeable and passionate about the dining experience. When we ordered the radicchio salad, I was skeptical that it would be bitter, but was curious to try it. My husband and I could have fought over it--it was that good! The cauliflower was roasted perfectly, and sat upon a sweet and spice infused puree called mahummara with crunchy pine nuts. The complexity of spices compelled us to try another bite, and then another... Roasted carrots are tender and sweet. Paired with cool yogurt and chili crunch, they ascend into another level of deliciousness. A tear of fresh bread across bits of remaining sauce, and then (not a minute sooner) "we are satiated, thank you!" and the server can take the plate. The restaurant is adjacent to a theater that shows unique offerings and they will sometimes coordinate events with menus. We liked the simple cafe style tables and openness. Ample parking is available in back.
