  I was lucky enough to discover JoAnnes on my return trip from Bakersfield to Mesa after a great visit with my daughter and grandson. I've given 5 stars because of my experience.  I arrived at 8:30am to have a nice breakfast on my way home and was immediate greeted with smiles and beverage offers. Ordered my usual large breakfast meal and it came out perfect as expected.
  What happened next made my day. A nice man named "Mike" sat at the bar and everybody knew him as they joined in on his FaceTiming with his granddaughter and occasionally stopped by to chat. I paid for Mikes breakfast that day. Just to thank him for reminding me of my own beautiful family. What a great day at JoAnnes!

  I came here to try the eggs Benedict that everyone seems to love. They were good! I like my English muffin with lots more crevices and much more crunchy. The hollandaise was citrusy and not too rich.  The eggs poached to perfection.
  
  My hubby ordered his standard polish sausage, eggs and biscuits with gravy. The biscuits were dense but good because the weren't thick. The gravy had big chunky sausage pieces as it's base. Seasoned nicely it was a hit.
  
  Ambience was a bit drab. They could use a little decorating refresh. I liked JoAnnes but not sure we'll drive this far to revisit.

  I came late lunch this time solo, place not busy, greeted and seated myself.  Ordered lemonade and ground beef steak plain with fries well, corn and salad with blue cheese dressing. Server attentive asked if I'd like beets and told her no and fries well and a refilled my drink.
  Salad and entree were great in taste and portioned.  they honored my request the steak plain and was excellent for the value ($9.99 plus tax).   I wish this is like this closer to me!  Will be back!

  Grabbed breakfast here with a friend this morning and was immediately reminded how good this place is! It's a classic restaurant with genuine home-cooked food at a great price. It's a hidden gem in the city of Ontario and seemingly everyone's go-to breakfast spot after church on Sundays.
  
  They have an extensive menu and it's hard to choose what to order. I landed on a meat lovers omelette which came with cheese, sausage, bacon, and ham and they did NOT skimp on the meat (or cheese). It came with a side of hashbrowns and I paid a bit extra for a side of pancakes instead of toast (because their pancakes are delish). The hashbrowns were a bit basic so I will probably try the breakfast potatoes next time instead, but overall my meal hit the spot.
  
  Service was excellent and our coffee and tea were never empty. We had a lot of catching up to do and they didn't harass us to give up our table even though they get busy.
  
  They have a decent-sized parking lot connected to the restaurant and street parking not too far for overflow. I highly recommend everyone check out this spot and say hello to the turtles and koi fish in front for me!
