Jo's Diner, Flowood

With checkered black and white floors, red-vinyl booths, and a vintage jukebox pumping out old favorites, Jo's epitomizes the classic retro diner. For more proof, just look to the menu. Mimosas and bloody marys accompany plates of pancakes, french toast, and country-fried steak and eggs. In addition to all-day breakfast service, the chefs cook up burgers, fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches, and their popular blue plate special: a choice of meat (maybe hamburger steak?), cornbread, three veggies, and a drink. Regulars also know to check the specials board for even more options, and to find out which new craft beers are on tap.
