Our Story

If ever a mother loved a son and a son loved a mother, then JoEllen’s is it. Joe is the son and Ellen was the mother. Ellen poured all that she was into each of her six children, but she held a special place for Joe. Unfortunately, Ellen passed away in 2014 when we first began this journey of entrepreneurship. So that love and those memories now reside in JoEllen’s. . .a special place with great food, a warm and inviting atmosphere, and southern comfort that feels a lot like a warm hug a loving mother gives to her son. This is the foundation of JoEllen’s and this is what guides all aspects of who we are and the service we provide.

Located in Kleman Plaza, JoEllen’s adds more flavor to the downtown lineup of eating establishments by providing southern/comfort food that nourishes the soul as much as it does the body.
