Jo's Diner San Diego

I felt dinery (I know it’s not a word, but it’s how I felt). So I looked up diners near me (Eastlake area of Chula Vista). I stumbled on a 4.6 rating & checked out the menu. Unbeknownst to me, Jo’s diner was affiliated with Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives. While fasting I love to watch his show (while not fasting as well). I watched the snippets of the episode where Guy Fieri tasted the Short Rib French Dip Sandwich & the Jo’s Meatloaf dishes. They both looked & sounded satisfying. My husband & I decided to go. We arrived within 30 min. & parked right in front for free given that it was the Juneteenth holiday. Entering the quaint restaurant we sat on a cushioned & pillowed banquette that looked nice. I’d definitely love for the pillows to be cleaned often. That didn’t deter me though. There was a nice & interesting piece of art on the wall of Olive Oil which brought back childhood memories. To the left of that artwork was Guy Fieri’s stamp of approval which I’d never seen in person because this was a first time eating at one of his picks. I couldn’t wait to order the Short Rib French Dip Sandwich. Then I ordered the Stuffed French Toast. My husband ordered the Fish & Chips. He then ordered the Banana Fosters French Toast a la mode for dessert. My goodness! Everything exceeded our expectations. The only issue we had was that the Fish & Chips portion size was very small & the price was very high. We would not order that again for those 2 reasons even though it was good. The Short Rib French Dip Sandwich was sensational. The Stuffed French Toast was delectable & lastly the Banana Fosters French Toast a la mode dessert was hittin’ everything. It was dreamy.
