Today was our first visit. Two adults and two kids, 11 and 13. We were seated quickly and had a server at the table right away, which was appreciated. We ordered an appetizer immediately because, let’s be real, kids don’t wait patiently when they’re hungry. It came out fast, so that was a win.
The food itself was just okay. Nothing special. Nothing memorable. The milkshakes were good, and honestly, that’s probably what the kids enjoyed most. None of us finished our meals, which says a lot.
The restaurant was clean, including the bathrooms. They had some cool throwback décor on the walls, which added a nice touch. All of the servers were friendly and attentive, and the manager even made rounds to check on guests. Service was solid.
Now for the tough part. The prices were shocking. We’re talking high-end restaurant prices without high-end food. With tip, we paid $184 for two hamburgers, chicken tenders, a cod sandwich, mozzarella sticks, and four milkshakes. That’s hard to justify.
Also, paper straws for milkshakes and kids do not mix. They get soggy fast. Yes, they give you a spoon, but if you’ve got kids, you already know how that goes.
We’re glad we tried it, but we probably won’t be back. The service was good, the shakes were good, but the food quality just doesn’t match the price.

Honestly with the other reviews and the videos I’ve seen on social media my expectations were very high……sadly I was disappointed. The service started great, my girlfriend and I were seated even though we missed our reservation time and we waited a little bit for our waitress as they were very busy. We started with the hot chocolate with toasted marshmallow…..first impressions was that it tasted like I could’ve made in my microwave at home so not what I expected, after that we decided to get the new yorker corned beef sandwich. It took a while but when the sandwich came it was a lot of bread vs meat and seemed disproportionate, the 1000 island dressing was good, but the coleslaw was too sweet and heavy with the mayo, and the waffle fries were not too hot. The service was friendly and our waitress was welcoming and polite. All in all I don’t think we’ll be back, as this was not worth the price or the frigid walk in the cold in downtown Detroit

LOVED my experience here!! Everything from the atmosphere, to the food, to the famous shake. Usually when you have a restaurant that revolves around a speciality item, in this case dessert, the food isn’t always the best… but not here! I personally had the BBQ brisket sandwich and oh my goodness, delicious! It actually had a slight smoked taste and the BBQ sauce was soo good. Crunchy cole slaw and served on brioche made it outstanding The shake (birthday flavor?) I had was obviously yummy I will say that if you have lunch here, don’t expect to be able to finish a shake alone. You WILL need help. Soo many tasty toppings. Love JoJos, I can’t wait to return!!!

Really great experience!! The menu was so much fun.
The milkshake with the salty waffle fries at the same time.. to die for. You have to get this salty and sweet combo. My mom got an orange creamsicle float and I got the Golden Nugget shake.. wow just wow!
Rueben was delicious. Service was really laid back and AWESOME.
Only downside to this place is that there is only 2 single bathrooms and there was long line ups at them. Otherwise, this place is WELL WORTH a visit!

Super fun Christmas experience, food was great, the drinks were great. My only issue with it was that we were elbow to elbow with 2 other tables, it was absolutely packed. They were reservation only so I’m glad I got reservations in advance. But overall good time and worth it! Food came out quick, the milkshake was savory and super good and the waitresses was super nice!

We went to JoJo’s for their winter popup. It’s a cute place in a nice location. I personally found the prices a bit high. The hot cocoa flight was little more than a Dixie cup and most of the cup was marshmallow. I was honestly underwhelmed and all of the cocoa tasted the same, only difference was the marshmallows on top. I did really enjoy the snowflake grilled cheese and tomato bisque soup, though! Service was decent but not great and they were out of a few things on the menu. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. I’m glad I went because it’s a cute spot, but there are other places in the area where your money would go further.

Food was good. Comfortable place to sit and enjoy a meal with the family. They have a kids menu as well. Would heavily recommend getting a reservation ahead of yeah time as it’s pretty busy when it’s a Lions, Tigers, Red Wings or Pistons game. Food and drinks are well priced too. KC was our server and was great with us. I’m definitely coming back.

This was 12:30 pm on a Thursday. Shake ingredients were all stale. Could barely break the first cookie we received. Second cookie was palatable until it cooled down, then hard as a rock. The cup rim decorations were actually hardened and stuck to the cup. Salad had very little dressing. Cheese sticks were pretty good.
We did not feel welcome.

Brandon was our server.
He was very personable with our table and very considerate for time since we were headed to a concert afterwards.
The food was delicious and came quickly!
I’ve been wanting to try this spot for a while and was not disappointed 🙂
