Jo's Restaurant

Some of the best hot chocolate I’ve had. The toast and eggs were cooked to perfection. Chicken fried steak and gravy were cooked properly but had no flavor. Even when adding salt and pepper, they both just didn’t taste good at all. I definitely will be coming back but I’ll eat something else. I was going to give a 4 start because the service was good and the place is clean and it also has a great atmosphere. But the food is the main reason for coming here and unfortunately the main dish was just not good to me. So I’ll be giving a 3 star and another chance, just with no gravy or steak being ordered. Price was fair at just over $18 for the dish and hot chocolate.

Cool and classic American diner in old oil boom town. Interior is full of great old memorabilia from oil boom days. The food was really good, but not great. Plenty of room for dining and the staff were very friendly and attentive. If you find yourself in Taft, this is a great place for some good food and California history. Check it out.

Beauty of a find during a motorbike trip. Wonderful homely service, strongly opinionated feedback about menu items from the waitresses and wholesome food that tasted good about had big portions. The coffee is meh and the pastrami sandwich is mouth watering love you good.

Really enjoy eating here. Our server Alyssa was so nice and attentive it made the visit even more enjoyable. Will definitely be back.

Good food good service. First time I was there,and impressed with service, it was on a Saturday morning and jumping but service was excellent. Had the chicken fried steak. Meat was tender with a nice not to crunchy outside. Gravy is awesome. I settled for 1 pancake rather than toast, for a buck more. they weren't stingy with the butter. I recommend. Glad Kim from the high school told me about it.
