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.

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.

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

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

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.

Undercooked hash browns and 'soft' scrambled eggs

The breakfast potatoes had to be sent back due to being undercooked and without the loaded toppings. They returned them like this. Needless to say they were returned a second time. Our server appeared uninterested in serving. We had to ask for coffee refill. I had good expectations based on the pictures and reviews, but will not be returning.

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

Service was prompt enough for our meal to warrant recommending it for that. The food was a mixed bag, though. My Cajun risotto dish was good. My wife's sandwich was less appealing. I had half as a leftover after the show, and agree with her assessment. BLTs are a fav for both of us and it wasn't appealing. Service was friendly and enjoyable. One waitress for the room was appropriate when we arrived. The longer we were there, the busier that poor woman was. Bar was slow to pour, which was odd, as we arrived around 6 to a mostly-empty location. Drinks were, however, quite good. Well mixed. Parking was reasonable at that time. If it was busy, parking looked to be tight. The patio was appealing, especially if you don't like smokers and don't mind street noise from Maple. We might go back and have a different meal for her on a night when they're staffed for the numbers.

Everett's is a solid ten! At least that's what I would give them if I could. We had heard about…read morethem and were very excited to try. I'm sure everything on the menu is good, but we came here for wings and boy did they deliver. The house brined wings are Fantastic. We did the extra hot bubba, which is their extra hot sauce fried then grilled In garlic Parmesan, which was so juicy and flavorful and kicked the heat to a perfect amount where it was flavorful but not overbearing. We also did the cactus ranch, which is the medium hot sauce tossed with cactus ranch seasoning, also tried it grilled. Another solid selection that provided a nice amount of heat and flavor. Both were so amazing I can't even say which one I liked more or which one was hotter. The wings are huge, juicy, and came out well-sauced. I filled up after five of mine (my husband tackled them all) and took the rest home. I don't know how to say best wings in Omaha, since I don't live there and haven't tried enough places, but these were some of the best wings we have EVER had, period. And we get wings almost everywhere we go. Also---the hand-cut (you heard me) fries aren't to be passed up on. We tried with the garlic aoili, so good, and a huge basket for $6. Our server was great. They are always busy, so give them some grace. We came during late lunch, got lucky and got seated right away, and it was still a revolving door of people, tables don't sit empty for long. They don't take reservations, and I understand why. They have limited space and when full, you sign up on the Board, there is a bar next door you can also receive a buzzer and go have a few drinks while you wait. This place is definitely worth the wait and we will repeatedly be back when we make it up to Omaha.

My wife & I shared a BBQ Pulled Pork and Bacon Burger with a side of Branding Potatoes plus a Fry Basket option #3 (asian). Each item was totally delicious -- amazing blends of flavors! I cannot give enough praise. Some creative genius (maybe several of them) was involved in cooking up this kind of flavorful delight! Highly recommend!!

The staff was great very friendly. One of our servers was training another and they were both great sad I can't remember their names for a shoutout. Drinks: I had the Thymekeeper which was a mezcal drink which I really enjoyed the thyme infused smokiness to it and the lemon and passion fruit gave it just enough sweet/sour to balance perfectly. My wife had the Açaí Cosmo and said it was her favorite cocktail of the last year at least. Fav cosmo ever also. Starters: Dundee Dip which is just cheesy goodness the bread soaks up the oils and was very tasty. The sausage had a really strong flavor which I enjoyed fennel in it I think. The banana peppers gave it a perfect hint of kick/crunch. Mains: Marks signature Mac and cheese which was great and had a really unique flavor this was ordered first and came out quick for the baby which was super nice they accommodated our request. We all loved it. I had the short rib grilled cheese and upgraded to the broccolini. It also came with an amazing herbed horseradish dip that was to die for. Perfect blend with the sandwich. Only ate half and had the other half for lunch the next day and was still very tasty. My wife had the smoked chicken lasagna which she really enjoyed it also had a super unique flavor that was great. They ended up giving us a free dessert for her birthday which we had to take to go as our daughter was acting up and we didn't want to ruin other guests experience. She went with the peach cobbler cheesecake I believe it was called and it was also delicious. They take and box up all the leftovers in the back which I always enjoy and use nice microwave safe containers which makes taking it to work or warming up a breeze. 10/10 all around for service, food quality, and atmosphere. Pricing is fair for the quality and service. Very cute place and the patio looks amazing for the warmer weather on the horizon. We will be back.

We had one alcoholic drink, since we were there for lunch and had errands to run - it was a purple shot (but we sipped it) called the Purple Thaaaang. It was delicious and just tasted like grape Kool Aid with hardly any alcohol flavor (dangerous!), and the proceeds from the sales of that drink went to the Omaha Women's Center for Advancement (so awesome). Now, on to the food. To start, we ordered the Crab Rangoon, which I had read in other reviews was excellent, and they were not wrong! The wonton wrappers were super thin, which made the Rangoons much easier to eat - I don't usually eat all the hard crispy points on Crab Rangoon (and only focus on the crab chunk at the bottom), but not here! I ate the wonton wrapper along with the crab and it was all delicious. Another item we wanted to try in terms of starters was the Broccoli Bites. These were so tasty, and almost were like a fried version of broccoli cheddar soup! Each fried bit is pretty large, so you may have to break it into a few bites. It comes with ranch for dipping, so just be sure you are with someone you're comfortable double-dipping with - LOL My husband and I both ordered burgers for our entrees, and they were burgers just like you'd have made on the grill in the backyard on summer nights. Deceptively simple, but well-seasoned and expertly cooked. Dundee's Place has excellent staff, affordable high quality eats, and a welcoming atmosphere for all. So next time you're in the neighborhood, definitely stop by and visit them for a drink or bite to eat!
