A great family owned and operated small restaurant. Was greeted right away and seated. The restaurant ambiance was homey, the menu was comfort food. Exactly what we were looking for . I had the biscuits and gravy and the hubby had a chile verde omelette. They were both delicious! We will definitely be back.

I don’t know if they just don’t put salt in their food so that you can put it yourself but let’s just say I had to keep putting salt for it to even taste okay. Food was alright nothing special honestly. Service was great but the prices were too high.

I love the small town vibe of this little cafe! The staff is friendly, the breakfast here hit the spot after our hike, it was filling and had good flavor, everything came out warm and that is a plus in my book! I highly recommend Joanna's for a yummy breakfast spot!

Great food and service. Chicken fried steak was nice and crispy and warm syrup with my pancakes was the cherry on top!

It was a little dark, but the place was packed with a variety of clientele. Service was initially prompt for ordering and bringing the food, and then we only saw the waitress when she came withbthe check or refilled coffee x1, not quite stopping the flow of coffee from.the pot before she walked away from the table, spilling it onto the table and floor on her way without noticing. Prices seemed a little on the high side with no children's menu clearly seen, but adequate enough portionsThe only really disappointing part was the table cleanliness. The salt/pepper shakers looked like they hadn't been cleaned in months inside or out, and the bowl holding packaged creamer also looked like it had not been washed in quite a while. That was concerning and we had to look carefully at plates/utensils which did appear clean. Hope they pay attention to those details since initial presentation makes a huge difference. Will give it another try and see if any improvements were made.

Greeted as soon as I entered. The wait is not long since I came in before 8am. The food is to my taste, not too bland or salty. I ordered the Denver Omelette, hash brown and biscuit and gravy. My third time here, twice by myself. It gets packed right around 8:30 am on a weekday, I've been here for 3 different days. Very calming and peaceful in my favorite spot, the corner most booth by the left as soon as you enter. Today, I get to observed two different families (complete strangers) joking around. The other table being elders and another, a teen with his mom and an elder. The crowd was quite lovely this morning which made me eat in a very relaxed way. I needed this time alone. Thank you everyone for a nice Friday breakfast dine in experience.
