Reviews for Jo’s...as always in Pensacola, FL
Yummiest food and a cute area
Absolutely the best chicken salad. Such an adorable niche place with fabulous food. The poppyseed dressing is delicious.
Yum! Not too heavy or light. Pensacola has so many choice places to eat...wow. It would be hard to choose a favorite. We try to... eat at a different place wherever we are away from the interstate. Hold on a sec... train going by. What a nice touch. Weordered the muffalatta with fruit and grilled pimento and cheese (has bits of jalapeno pepper for a little kick). Yum! Grilledpimento was a larger sandwich than I was expecting (very filling, glad I got the fruit). Fruit comes with poppy seed dressing...yes! Oh... we ordered the bread pudding too. One with the amaretto sauce and one with the whisky sauce. Smooth! Oh my. Has alight sprinkle of coconut flakes toasted into it. Glad I had the coffee. So good. Thanks to Quarte' for fine service. If you'rein south Pensacola and haven't tried Jo's... it's worth the trip. Read more
This place is really nice. Great ambiance. I was a little disappointed in the food though. I?d go back for drinks for sure.... Great sweet tea! Read more
Ultimately, I was put down and treated disrespectfully, when all I had intended to do was bring Jo more business through a work... meeting. I regret to say that if I ever do return, it will not be soon. This can be fixed, but that depends on Jo. I don?tusually write negative reviews, but this needs to be said. The food and ambiance are excellent. The staff are usually quitefriendly. In general, I?ve always had a very pleasant experience, with my only complaints being the limited hours and notdisplaying their opening time at the entrance. Regretfully, today was different. I knew I would have a meeting at noon, anddecided to work on my computer until that meeting, which I have done in the past. I had a lunch meeting scheduled at noon, anddecided to work on my computer, in the corner at a small table, until our appointed time. I?ve done this on multiple occasionsand never had any issue. This time, I had a business call, which I was on, while waiting for my meeting. However, the personwho was meeting me was delayed by about 45 minutes, due to a work situation, on his end. I often work remotely and in coffeeshops or cafes, and always make a point not to be in a restaurant when they are busy. That would be rude and I?m veryconscientious about this. I even discussed this with the management of Jo?s, when I first discovered them. Today, there wereopen tables up until noon. Guests could be seated. But the person I was meeting was delayed. So, I continued on my phone call.Over the next 20 minutes or so it did get busy, but there was nothing I could do, since my meeting was delayed but would arriveshortly. Then, Jo herself, who had been very friendly at the beginning of the day, approached me. She interrupted my call andmade a point that I was causing her to turn away guests because I was inconsiderately hogging a table during prime lunch-time. Itold her I understood and was sorry, but that I was waiting for someone who was supposed to have met me at noon, a Read more
I found my favorite new cafe. I've lived here 5 years and thought this place was too fru fru. The servers are super sweet and... the menu is very affordable. I can tell they put a lot of effort into the menu selection, pricing, combinations, and mixed withaffordability and value. But it looks super fancy. My wife and I really like our server Onno (sp) and she plahed some reallygood music just for us as the place filled up fast for lunch. The menu has great and original sandwich selections with in-housespreads and sauces. Most if not everything is homemade from what I can tell. I never had Orzo and they had a chicken Orzo soupthat was awesome. Our sandwich was a cold muffeletta and it was served on french bread. Not typical, but good none the less. Wealso had fruit with our meal and dessert for $1 more which I thought was very clever combination on the menu. They do have agreat selection of seafood and traditional american fare. All I can say is the menu is fantastic. I really liked this place (canu tell?). The overall ambiance is that of tuscan bohemian i guess. But whatever it is, I could chill there all day. We satoutside and it was a perfect 72 degrees. I took a bunch of pics but can't find them now, but when I do, I will post them. We'lldefinitely be back again. Highly recommended. Read more
Great little cafe type restaurant! Their amaretto bread pudding is amazing, and this is coming from someone who isn't really a... fan of bread pudding. They basically force you to get a serving, because it's only $1 extra with a meal. Also, their coffee isreally good! Their sandwich meals come with either fruit, or chips and a pickle. This was something that the menu wasn't veryclear about. We thought you'd get a pickle either way, but if you choose fruit then you don't get a pickle. A littledisappointing. Read more
My favorite place! Wonderful staff! Chicken Salad is the best!
