Reviews for Jojo's Diner-Benson in Omaha, NE
The food portions are quite generous, the pricing is very affordable, the ambiance is cool diner, but the service was the only... thing I had an issue with. Tot nachos 5 stars The amount of meat you get on this is insane. Makes good a very nice breakfast,but just an Appy. Giant cinnamon roll 5 stars I'm not big into cinnamon lately, but this got my 5 stars because the texture waswhat dreams are made of. Super fluff, light and airy. It wasn't too sweet for me either which is often a problem. My only issuemight be the size as I don't tend to eat much, but I'd still want to order this to share with friends to show off. Breakfastchimichanga 4 stars Everything about this was great, but my issue was it lacked sauce. If there was more on the side to add tothe plate it would have gotten a 5. Barbacoa grilled cheese 4.25 stars It's a great combination. The fries were a 4 but therealso weren't that many. The grilled cheese sandwich with the meat itself however was an excellent item. I didn't try the otheritems pictured as those were what my friends ordered. Everyone seemed happy with their meals and had no complaints. Service wasnot exceptionally friendly and the server didn't look happy serving us (she wasn't mean, she just seemed there), but aside fromthat it was pretty standard service. She did help us take a photo which we appreciated. Parking is available for free on thestreet. I found a spot that said maximum 2 hours. Read more
Wonderful attentive service on a busy First Friday in Benson. Fun atmosphere and decorations. Food came out hot and flavorful. ... Chicken fried chicken is breaded per order and the absolute BOMB! Cloth napkins take the diner experience up a notch. Can'twait to come back and try more things out! Read more
I was very tired with what to order & I almost ordered food To go. I only didn?t because I wanted it to be fresh. I was talking... so much I was ready whenever the waitress kept coming to take our order. I wish I could remember her name. She was so nice &patient with us. I just said a cheeseburger out of peer pressure lol my friend got. Basic steak & eggs that she wanted to sendback, but I talked her out of it, to take home & fix it up herself. I am a big French fry lover & these were very disappointing.They could?ve let them cook a bit longer & put some seasoning or at least some salt on them maybe. Incredibly bland & asdelicious as the burger were, sadly the fries did not compliment. The table to our left had the daily waffle special which wasbanana nut waffles, & her dad got pancakes ???? that looked AH-MAXING SO we will definitely be back for breakfast! I?m happy Ifinally made it out. Great vibes. Read more
I had the chicken fried steak. It tasted good but then I cut into the middle and it wasn't cooked through. The gravy was weird... tasting and very salty. The overhead music was way too loud. The host wouldn't turn it down until several people complained. Ourserver was Kayla and she was great. Parking is at a minimum, especially for handicapped folks. Prices are higher than theyshould be and it is definitely not worth the money. Won't go back. Read more
OK I have heard a lot about this place? I?m going to be honest I wasn?t expecting it to be good. I have walked past it so many... times but never been inside. For me, diners usually mean cheap, greasy food. This was different. The interior was beautiful,the menus were incredible (amazing design and quality, iykyk) and SUCH a fun atmosphere! Every single song was such a banger! Icouldn?t stop dancing in my chair haha. If you?re looking for real food for breakfast? And delicious food, you need to try thisplace! They had the best staff ? everyone was so friendly and in such a good mood. At some point you need to try the chickenand waffles! But no matter what you try, I?m sure it?ll be amazing. Read more
Place was busy, but that's a good sign right?! Food was great, customer service was great and it didn't take long to get food..... only one issue was we had to sit in the back near an Access door for the Wait staff.. so we kept having to move to let them inand out the door when they needed products.

Because of all the great reviews, we really wanted to love this place and the food. Unfortunately, we probably won't be back. We... started out as dine in and ended up taking our orders to go. It was too cold and just not comfortable dining in. Once we gothome the food was the problem. Both the chicken fried chicken and the chicken fried steak were tough and overcooked. The eggswere ordered as over easy yet weren't properly cooked at all with the egg whites still raw. The pancakes were delicious howeverthey could have been better without the broken off plastic tab from a tub (picture included). The server was quick to greet usand was both friendly and personable. It's just not a place for us. Read more
This was my first time. The menu is awesome. I tried the Nashville hot Chicken and waffles. The best I've ever had. Special... touch with peach marmalade drizzle! Chicken not too spicy. Read more
