“ Absolutely delicious!! I had the roast beef Manhattan, with real beef roast, and the flavor was amazing! My husband had the buffet and loved every bit of it. He said the chicken was perfect and the green beans tasted like home grown. There were also meat balls that he said tasted like delicious little meatloaves. The restaurant was clean, neat and well decorated. The restrooms were very new, nice and clean. The pie and cake in the case looked sinfully delicious. Everyone was extremely warm, welcoming and the service was exceptional!! We would highly recommend it!! ”

“ Jo's catered a wedding in Peoria I attended. Dinner was Grilled Chicken and Grilled Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Macaroni and Cheese, Rolls, Salad and Green beans. Everything was amazing. Literally the best Mashed Potatoes and Green beans I have ever had! I had the chicken and it was delicious. I tried some of my wife's turkey and it was wonderful as well. Can't wait to go to the restaurant! ”

“ Their buffet was delicious. I know a lot of people probably don't care for livers and gizzards, but the gizzards especially were amazing. I'd never seen them cooked that way. Almost like they'd been stewed in a gravy....?? You could cut them with a fork and my gosh they were good!! First time I'd been there, but will definitely go back. ”
