This place is well something special indeed! My wife and I found this place a few weeks ago, and we feel like we are going to eat with family. The food is excellent, everything we have tried has been fantastic. I really enjoy the daily specials on Saturdays. I have rarely ordered from the actual menu. The biscuits and gravy are out of this world. The service is even better than the food. Oh and yeah they have a great Mission to help Cancer patients. What not to love.

We were out in this area after a nice morning hike and picked this place the night before to try out after the hike. Fun fact, I now know where the Joy Bus Beer hails from. Lol. This is a nice little diner that supports a great cause. Cancer awareness and support. Basically, it is a totally non-profit, and all proceeds go directly to help cancer patients with meals as they recover and go into remission. The diner was spawned from Joy's personal battle with cancer. The owner is a close friend of Joy who came up with this venture to support cancer patients. The chef is also an award winning chef. The meals are rotated from time to time as well. How cool is that? I had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with tangy slaw. Simply divine. If you can finish it all, you are a trooper. My girl had the classic Belgian waffle with thick cut hickory bacon on the side. It had a mouthwatering appeal. Morgan, our server was very well versed in the menu and kept us entertained with her humor. They also have t-shirts and plants that can be purchased for the cause. So go on over there and support our local diamond in the rough Joy's Bus Diner!!!

What a nice place. The patrons and staff are even nicer. Very welcoming and comforting. People were walking in as if they were neighbors. This was our first visit but we definitely felt quickly like we were regulars. Their cause and mission is like no other I’ve ever seen. The whole menu is as is as every dish is completely made from scratch….. even down to the orange juice and lemonade. My partner had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and I had the Belgian waffle. Food was delicious!!!! There’s a train nearby that we enjoy hiking so we’ll DEFINITELY be returning. Thank you Joybus!!!

This is an amazing place with an amazing mission, not to mention some delicious food. There are few places where you can tell the food was made and served with love - this is one of them.

The staff was so friendly and fast. The wait to be seated and to get you food wasn't long. The waffles were good. Chilaquiles were alright. The flavor was kinda matte tasting, if they added a little bit of chicken bouillon to the sauce it would have fixed it. For some reason it didn't come with the crema as other photos have shown.. could have used it. Overall a good place to vist.
