Jo Ann's Cafe - South San Francisco, California

So, the food was "Okay", but definitely bland. Most of the dishes were chipped and cracked up, which is a very low budget presentation. The most disappointing part was the customer service. They severely lack diversity. We were very uncomfortable and the staff avoided us for the majority of our experience. When we needed additional services, we had to go out of our way to get their attention. In conclusion, we'll never return. We are touris & we expected a much better level of hospitality.

Cute local diner with friendly staff and atmosphere. The prices are reasonable, my meal was fresh and delicious, and I love the open-plan kitchen and breakfast bar. You can watch them prepare the food, and can really understand the care they are putting into every step!

Excellent breakfasts with a stunning view. The orange juice was so amazing with freshly squeezed oranges, the most delicious pancakes I've ever had and great scrambled eggs.

Hmmmm, we were looking for a good breakfast spot near Pacifica/Colma/Daly City area and yelp said this spot was good. Wife had the orange flavored French toast while I had their Paul’s Sandwich with bacon. The French toast taste like orange and my sandwich was what Paul thinks is a good simple sandwich. Really wish they had pupusas at this time. Little too expensive for what we got served. Maybe a little more home fries?

Friendly service with a smile. When it gets crowded, service is slower. I try to get here in their 1st hour of operation (8am weekends). Generally, everyone's happy here, including the patrons. Good vibes all around. Their coffee is solid every time. My usual go to is the Joann's special: eggs, choice of meat protein, home fries, fruit salad & choice of toast, scone, or muffin. Today I wanted switch it up & tried the "huevos" for the first time. Poached eggs (2) with 2 kinds of cheese, tomato salsa, chopped ham over tortillas; served with home fries. Ask for the tapatio. Very filling, I couldn't finish it. Would definitely recommend it. (Also, here's a photo of the El Camino Real. I didn't try it myself though.) This time, I found out they are open evenings Wednesday - Friday 5-9pm. I'd like to try out their daily homemade soups!

No frills diner located in South city, down the street from Costco (and BART). Reasonably priced food that filled us to the brim.

My five year old loved the kids' grilled cheese with fries. I had a Turkey BLT (Don's) that was hearty and tasty. My wife had eggs with chorizo, also very good.

Thanks to my buddy for introducing me to this place.

JoAnns is the place to go for good food. I had a Mushroom Burger with fries. This small hole in the wall closes at 2pm. Then they reopen from 6pm-9pm with a Mexican menu. Parking is a little tough but be patient JoAnns will be worth it. There is inside or outside seating & wheelchair accessible. The service is good, food is excellent. There are also daily specials on a Chalk board inside.
There are also fresh bakes muffins. This is a must try one time restaurant.

Pretty simple menu with some Mexican fusion mixed in. Had their Denver omelette a few times, and it's pretty good. The omelette is more like an egg blanket with the fillings underneath. Potatoes are well seasoned. Blueberry muffin is good as well.
