Savor Tradition, Relish the New

Signature dishes, timeless memories await

Dishing Up Legacy & Love

Since 2004, Jo's Place has been more than just a restaurant; it's a beloved community gathering spot. Founded by Jo Ellen Moore, we've been serving up hearty, home-cooked meals with a side of nostalgia. Our rich history traces back to R&M Top Lev, and we're proud to carry on the tradition of serving delicious food and warm hospitality.

Now under the care of Todd and Shannon Morenz, we're committed to keeping the flame of tradition burning bright. Our menu is a love letter to the past, featuring classic recipes that have delighted locals for years. From our legendary homemade cheese sauce to our crispy, golden fried chicken, every bite is a trip down memory lane.

Join us at Jo's Place, where time slows down, and good food brings people together.
