Photo: pancake comboJust an overall great place with awesome southern hospitality. Everyone was incredibly friendly and the food was quick and delicious (with very large portions). Definitely an Orem gem!

If you haven't been here, you have made a mistake.Joe's is FANTASTIC. I've never had a bad meal or experience in the many times I've come here. Any time I have friends from out of town I take them here to enjoy an amazing breakfast. The greatest grits I've ever had. As if the food being amazing wasn't enough, the staff is fantastic. Incredibly friendly, fun, helpful, absolute masters at their jobs. Will be a patron of this place for a LONG time. Just can't wait to get my picture up on the wall ;)

We arrived in town and we were looking for a good breakfast spot. Joe’s showed to have high ratings and good reviews. After eating there on the first morning we were so happy we found a place with great service, friendly staff and great food. The second morning we arrived just as they opened. We sat down, ordered we’re eating our food. A older black man who was in the back cooking, came up to our table and said “ its no time to socialize, I see you guys in here before and you like to talk and hang around, we don’t do that here”. I told him we had been here yesterday but we have never been here before. I have never been treated like that before and it was extremely offensive. I am not sure why they allow an employee to harass paying customers. We finished our food which was excellent, paid and left. Before leaving I told our waitress what happened, she kinda frowned but nothing was addressed. Such a shame. This place has great food and a great atmosphere but the behavior and attitude of the fry cook ruined it for us. We will not be back !

I've been here a few times and the food is likely not healthy, but that's not why you go to Joe's. You go to Joe's for amazing food with all the flavors you crave. Then there's the atmosphere. Small and comfortable with friendly staff.I have great memories of diners from my youth and Joe's brings back those memories. I'm always happy when I go to Joe's.

I looked this place up online, reviews were so great I took a friend there to try it. The service is great and everyone is very friendly. However, the food that everyone raves about, was far from delicious. My omelette was huge, but everything in it was burned or overcooked, same with hash browns. It also came with processed melted cheese on top and not the fresh grated cheese I was hoping for. The biscuit I was charged $1.99 extra for, must have been from the day before, because I had to literally make an effort to chew on it, as it was very dry. All of their food supplies were displayed right there on the counters, so I realized everything I ate came from Costco, nothing special, and I could have definitely cooked a much better, not burnt, breakfast at home with my own Costco groceries. I tried the sweet grits too, they were ok. The cleanliness of cook, employees and kitchen area could also be improved. Work clothes was filthy on some of them, and it gives a very bad impression to customers who eat food cooked by them.I wanted to love and come back to this place because of the staff’s friendliness and the amazing reviews that I still don’t understand, but I probably won’t be back to be disappointed again.

The food was amaaaaaze. The breakfast sandwich with avocado was highly recommended to us and it did not disappoint. The French toast with fresh fruit was also so good! Such nice servers too

Well they don't have 10 stars so I'll have to give 5. The service!!!! The food!!! I would do it again♥️ This place is a Gem?And Joe came out to talk to us!!? He is such a funny and wonderful man ?

The beat breakfast spot around. Eggs are always cooked perfectly. Best grits in Utah. Pancakes are good. The signature fruit juice is also good. The best way to describe the food is Simple and Delicious. The owner and servers are friendly and provide great service. Saturday Mornings are usually really busy you might have to wait a while.

The cook learned that we didn’t order the grits and it’s our first time there. So, he gave us a small cup sample of it. It was my first time eating grits and I’m definitely getting a bowl of that next time! Huge portion sizes. One of the better diners/American breakfast food places I’ve been to.

I had great service and the food was delicious! It felt very cozy and I loved all the photos on the walls. It was an awesome place to sit and eat with my friend! I loved the little pot of cream instead of needing to use a bunch of the little plastic cups. Highly recommend!
