Jo's Cafe — Restaurant in Dudley

Jo's café has been in Netherton for a long time and it shows... Because they know how to be the best cafe for miles around. It's a small cafe for people with a big appetite and doesn't hurt the purse strings either.

At first appearance, you would think it's just another greasy spoon and plenty of signage outside to invite you in. It has a decent seating area and space for about 40 people.

The menu is what you would usually expect with some 'added extras'. You can get sandwiches and breakfasts, in fact some are super sized.

For me, I had the Special sandwich which is £5. Four pieces of crusty bread with Bacon, egg, sausage, mushrooms, beans and black pudding (i think there is more in there too). When it arrived it was a behemoth of a sandwich, very well constructed too, an equal balance of all ingredients which does not make the bread too soggy or greasy, the perfect consistency. It also had a great taste too, sometimes you can go to some cafés and they buy the cheapest ingredients and you can tell, Jo's however does use good ingredients but obviously not the best to keep prices great.

Me and my wife's breakfast came to £11 with drinks, some places won't even do one meal for that.

P.s. they also do other food like cottage pies etc

This is truly a hidden gem of the black country

Tldr- great food, cheap prices, hidden gem

Update, I've been back and had pie and chips. The pie is a classic pukka pie but the best was the chips, homemade chips just like mom made (God rest her soul) which took me back like in ratatouille. I will be...

Agree with a previous comment, not the worst, not the best. Smells of damp as you walk in, and there is damp on the walls, a little off putting. No heating on and its a cold day, so the kids were rather cold in there. Decent prices, but we felt the food was all quite tasteless. I presume they are opting for the cheapest choices. Decent portions, certainly filled us up. Asked for a tea without the tea bag in, as like it really really weak but was told it is served out of a teapot. Unsure why it wasn't possible to just give hot water and a tea bag.. but never mind - felt that any other adaptions would not have been welcomed by the staff. Won't be...

How can I have missed this place? Don't be decieved by the small frontage, Jo's is much more than it looks, inside is clean fresh and comfortable, despite the present restrictions, it is comfortable. You can get a good mug of tea and a plate of toast or push the boat out and get a full breakfast for a fraction of the cost you would pay in your local fast food outlet. The ladies are friendly and go that little bit further to make sure you get your food exactly the way you like it. If you don't have time to sit in you can opt for take out. Don't waste your money on overpriced supermarket sandwhiches, pop into Jo's and...
