 Our family favorite is Jo-Jos in the Strip
   Like others on greasy side-  great potatoes.

 My daughter likes hteir hotcakes; I don't think they are greasy

 My favorite eggs over easy, potatoes, Italian sausage and Italian toast.
 tell them to hold the butter on the toast.

 Some one wrote about mom and pop divey places. This is a classic. They
 moved a while a go to a new building, but used chipboard fo wallls, and
 crappy booths.  My guess is that they might have wanted to retain the
 truck stop. greasy spoon atmosphere.

 The Jo-Jo omlete is a favorite of many of the regulars.
