What a tasty breakfast! You can never go wrong with a Jodie and this little joint certainly proves that! Welcomed by a classic feeling, this hit the spot and offered a coy morning spot to get your tummy filled. Really enjoyed my time here.

Great diner. Good food, fast and friendly. Not one of those fancy places with $12 orange juice. A good Canadian diner.

Just had breakfast here with my son and it definitely won’t be our last! Our server was amazing, food was hot and delicious prices were right and I loved the “old school” atmosphere, can’t wait to come back and try their fresh made burgers with a side of poutine 😋

If you’re ever in search of an old school, delicious, clean, reasonably priced and friendly place for breakfast, brunch or lunch, try Jodie’s Restaurant. I went there back in November 2022 with a couple of friends for brunch. Food was prepared by Jodie (with love) and her really sweet niece was our server. Nothing fancy but nice place to eat, sit and catch up with your friends.

Got the chicken club & fries.. could barely find the chicken and the bacon.. . Not impressive for $17.50 + tip I guess that was for the bread, a couple pieces of lettuce, tomatoe, and fries? Fries were not freshly cut blanched potatoes as shown in the pictures from a couple years back. Sadly disappointed. Hope this helps improve the quality. Place looked clean and tidy.

Great little spot for breakfast. Coffee was great, food tasty, staff friendly and prices reasonable. The only downside for me was the hashbrowns are deep fried and I prefer pan fried with onions, they were still tasty though and I ate every single thing on my plate.

This is a typical greasy spoon trying to upgrade to a 90s restaurant. The 90s music (CHFI) was a little much. Beyond that ... excellent place. Eggs were perfectly cooked. So were home fries (crisp without burned spots) and 3 large pieces of lean peameal bacon. Excellent price. Type of place I would hunt for when I was traveling. Definitely a place to return to.

Fast, friendly service, great coffee- had the Morning mixer, came out quick and hot, fluffy french toast, classic diner breakfast served to perfection. Much better than Sunset Grill, if you want to support a small local business that serves great food ( extensive lunch menu as well), this is the place to go

I used to go to this place almost every day when I work in the area. Decided to drop in on this particular day as I was randomly in the area again and the inside has not changed at all. When you first walk in it definitely has The vibes of a greasy dive but this five-star review is all about the food. I ordered french toast, pancakes, toast, poached egg and home fries. Just like back in the day, everything was cooked to perfection. This is not a place you come for the ambiance but if youre looking for a good breakfast joint you need to come here. I have never had a bad breakfast. Even their coffee tastes fresh. When they come in and out of the kitchen and by the bar you can kind of see into the kitchen and despite the seating area looking quite outdated the kitchen looks spotless and I did inspect the plates and cutlery and everything looked clean. Often when I go to popular chains, theres always something stuck to a fork or a knife I went out of my way to check a few tables cutlery here and everything seems spotless. Its one of those hidden gems where you would just drive by and not give a second thought to but once you try the food you will be going back. Parking: Parking is few and very tight. You would never know there was parking in the rear but there is!

First time went in for lunch. Was pleased. Second time, apparently she decided she was closing early on a Friday because it was slow and declined the seating. Sign on the door says kitchen closes an hour before closing time. Ok. Unless Im here an hour and a half before. Anyways, thats unfortunate because the missus works around the corner and needed a good lunch spot. Guess thats not happening now.

Not sure why this place got such high reviews, perhaps their breakfast is good? First off, this place is very run down, but it didnt stop us from trying it out. We were very disappointed. The mashed potatoes are from a BOX (how hard is it to cook real potatoes!?), the vegetables are those that come frozen in a bag, the fries looked like they were cooked in very old oil. I would be embarrassed to serve such food.

Why do people go to Jodie s on Horner. Well it because she was given an opportunity to continue a small business in a great location that s been apart of the Community for years. Yes it s old but it local and the food is pretty damn good. Jodie s is about Community and good food and customer who look forward to her smiling face on daily basis. For a local place that cares about the community and the people in it Jodies s does just that. People don t only go to Jodie s for good food but they go because she Rocks !!! Small Business that does well in a Big City that doesn t like independents mom & Pop stores.

Went here for lunch because it is very close to work. What a disappointment. There is only one person working so it takes forever to receive the menu, then takes a while to place an order. It should not have taken an hour to have lunch there, i only ordered one item. The quesadilla was tiny for $13. I left and i am still hungry! I feel like I need to go somewhere else to buy a second lunch. I do not recommend this place. The food was average, and price is high for the portion you get.

December 23, 2018

Hands down the worst dining experience I ve ever had. It wasn t busy but for some reason the waitress took forever with our food, brought our meals (3 of us) all at separate times, meaning I was done eating well before my friends were. Afterwards I tried to use the bathroom but the stench in there made me turn and hightail it right back out. Severely disappointing service. The fries were cooked in old oil and the food was mediocre at best. Poor staff quality who make inappropriate comments. 1 star.

If you like simple tasty food, this place might be for you. Very tasty hamburgers and sandwiches. This visit I opted for the egg salad sandwich, my accomplice the chicken salad. It was good although I have to say it took quite a while to get it. I mean it s just a sandwich! It shouldn t really take 20 mins. I however was in no particular hurry so it was ok. The staff are friendly and helpful, they seem to have a good following of regulars!
