Joanne’s Kitchen is one of those classic hometown diners that instantly makes you feel welcome. Located in a quiet corner of town, it’s the kind of place where locals gather, and you can count on a hearty, satisfying meal served with a smile.
I came in for breakfast on a weekday morning, and the place was already buzzing with regulars. The vibe is cozy, no-frills, and comfortable—like stepping into your grandmother’s kitchen. The service was fast and friendly, and the waitress made me feel like part of the family.
I ordered the breakfast special with eggs, bacon, home fries, and pancakes. Everything was cooked perfectly—eggs just the way I asked, crispy bacon, and golden home fries with just the right seasoning. But the real surprise was the pancakes: light, fluffy, and delicious. Easily some of the best I’ve had in the area.
The coffee kept coming, hot and fresh, and it really completed the experience. Prices are extremely reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes and quality.
Joanne’s Kitchen may not be flashy, but it doesn’t need to be. It delivers exactly what you want from a local diner—good food, great service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be...
Read moreSuper hole in the wall spot. The atmosphere is super old school diner kind of feel. Lots of other places try to recreate this but this is the real deal. There are counter spots that have the old school stools & everything. The rest of the seating are booths. The booths are kinda small. You can fit 2 people with plenty of room & 4 people... kinda tight.
The staff was super friendly and very attentive. They kept serving people when they were walking in 15 minutes after closing. They did end up turning people away when they turned off the grill. This place reminded me of the diner I would go with my Grandma.
The food was really tasty. The portions were generous and the milkshake was so good! I had the strawberry milkshake & it's the best one I've had in a long time. Honestly better than Hayward's milkshakes & their thing is icecream. I recommend getting a milkshake. It's a huge milkshake. We shared one.
Overall I recommend this place if you're thinking of an old school diner with good food. I give it 5 stars because it deserves a 5 for a diner. It's not pretending to be anything other than what it is & they do it well. We'll definitely...
Read moreJoanne's Kitchen Is a tiny hole in the wall breakfast and lunch diner in downtown Nashua. My partner and I recently went for breakfast, and here was our experience.
Items ordered: ham and swiss cheese omelette, home fries with peppers and onions, sourdough toast, sausage links, Irish Benny, bacon
Pros: •The eggs were cooked perfectly •The home fries were crispy and flavorful, especially with the peppers and onions •The Hollandaise sauce was surprisingly good, very creamy and lemony •The English muffin and sourdough toast were perfectly done as well •The service was quick and our waiter was atentative and friendly •The prices were good for the quality of food we got
Cons: •The atmosphere isn't great, the place looks kind of grungy and can definitely use updated furniture as well as a paint job and redesign to the outside.
Conclusion: For the price and quality of food, Joanne's is actually pretty darn good for the area. If atmosphere is a big thing for you, then you might want to look elsewhere because it can be a bit...
