What a great breakfast spot. The hash browns were so good I ordered a second serving! My wife usually picks at her food and doesn't eat much. She almost finished her plate of French toast. If you've been to Joe's you know how huge that portion is! They are very well staffed so service is quick and our coffee cups were never empty. The price is maybe the most amazing thing. For food this good, I'd easily expect to pay 50% more - at least...but did I mention the hash browns??

We finally got to try this joint on a Monday, it’s packed on weekend mornings like most breakfast places. It’s a seat yourself kind of deal and the servers get to you as quick as they can, but even on a Monday it’s busy. All the servers will attend to you as they pass by, just because, and they will overhear you discussing the menu with your table and make suggestions, it’s great, I overheard a server being honest about what’s good here and what isn’t. I really like that because the menu is massive. They were playing hole and nirvana on the tv in the restaurant. The kitchen whips plates out fast. The menu is massive and endlessly customizable, for almost every dish, you can customize the kind of cheese, bread, gravy, etc. the portions are huge. I ended up with two take away boxes just from my food. Ive been to lots of local breakfast eateries as an omaha native and most are mediocre and unfriendly and inconvenient with payment methods, joes cafe is probably my favorite and stands out.

What a great little find! We felt like we had stepped back in time to a neighborhood cafe. We can't wait to go back. The food was great and the service was over the top.

Wonderful environment, the waiters and waitresses were friendly and respectful. I got a French dip and it was amazing! Was with a group of 6 people and the total bill was less than 70 and everybody was full!

This is a great hidden gem! The food is amazing! It feels warm and laughter fills the air, the menu has variety of things to choose from. The best part was our service our waitress was kind and attentive hard workers are hard to come by! Her name was Nicole and she truly helped pull the full experience together! I definitely will be back to eat here!

We ordered pick up and it was great. Super hot even after driving home 15 minutes. Good prices and sausage links were the best.

Eat Joe's be happy! Best breakfast in Omaha, hell in Nebraska. Huge portions, friendly fun staff, great service, delicious food, and all at prices that will leave u with plenty left in your wallet for a generous tip. We had the Ruben with a "side" (it was a full bowl not the soup cup I was expecting) of homemade French onion soup, the breakfast bagel special (bacon egg and cheese that puts McDonald's to shame) and a side order of a taco expecting it to be small (no surprise at this point, it wasn't). Needless to say we took some to go boxes with us. Total for everything was 23 (for real, even in this economy). We'll be back with reinforcements soon! 10/10

A true family restaurant. It is small, but the new patio is a bonus. Yes, they get busy, but I feel like the food is worth the wait. Everyone is friendly.
