Today, walked in and a server looked at us from behind the counter and continued talking to someone across the restaurant. Another 2 minutes before she told us to seat ourselves. We found a booth and someone brought us menus. My husband got up and went to the restroom. During that time no one came to the table with water, asking about coffee, nothing. My husband came back and said "Let's go." While he was walking to the restroom, the staff was giving him disrespectful looks. As I watched this happen, I had already decided we weren't going to give our money to this place. If you like biker bars, "good ol' boys" atmosphere, this is probably a place you will like. If you have any color to your skin (my husband is very light skinned Puerto Rican- I'm white and darker than him) I would steer clear. Sweetwaters, right down the road is friendlier, quicker and brighter.

Not sure why this place has a lower rating.... it's delightful!!…read more we started with the peach cobbler pancakes for the table which had perfectly crunchy edges and were so flavorful and tasty!! just the right amount of sweet! i defaulted to me standard of shrimp and grits (cheesy grits to be precise...... WITH bacon?? yes please!!) my son ordered the mints cristo (which he loved!) and my boy ordered chicken friend steak. (the gravy was super flavorful, but the "steak" was processed and definitely not made in house) Potatoes were crispy and eggs cooked well. but the really star of Jojo mac's (for breakfast, anyway) are the cinnamon rolls we brought home!! potentially one of the best rolls i've ever had!! superb, in fact!! all sticky, cinnamon-y thumbs up on this one!!

There are some really great spots now, but this place is on another level. I came in last week while visiting family and immediately fell in love. Their sourdough is unreal...like, the kind you think about later. I had the beet salad and the ham and bean soup, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that soup was one of the best I've ever had. So rich, so comforting, just perfect. I took home the apricot walnut sourdough and it was just, PERFECT!! I ended up coming back two days later with my daughter because I couldn't stop thinking about it. She got the French toast with homemade granola and fresh fruit, and I had the eggs Benedict both were incredible. Everything just tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. And don't even get me started on the pastries... I grabbed the kalamata olive sourdough and a few croissants. Flaky, buttery, perfect. This place is AMAZING. Actually worth going out of your way for. I live in Keizer now and this spot has me coming to Albany a couple times a week. If you haven't been, you're missing out!

The steak and eggs were absolutely amazing--the steak was cooked perfectly, tender and juicy, and the eggs were done just right, making it a standout dish. The drink selection was just as impressive, especially the classic lavender mimosa and cranberry-peach mimosa. Both were refreshing, balanced, and paired perfectly with the meal without being overly sweet. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt welcoming and comfortable, making it a great place for brunch or a casual upscale meal.

Thought it could be crispy but more of a stretchy soft bread texture. It would be much better with fresh strawberries. Too much syrup and way too sweet with the marinated strawberries.

I thought I was here for a quick stop-over between work meetings downtown Albany, but a quick email check turned into a "hey maybe I should use their WiFi" and unexpectedly and quite fortuitously for me turned into a gift of two and a half hours all to myself of people-watching.
