Handcrafted sandwiches and fresh salads at Jojo's Bistro, a Hamilton Mill neighborhood favorite
The Menu
Jojo's describes itself as a place serving "handcrafted, no-fuss dining," and the menu delivers exactly that. Sandwiches and melts are the heart of the menu, each built with quality proteins, fresh produce, and house-made sauces. The kitchen also turns out hearty salads, soups, and shareable sides that are far from afterthoughts.
The Signature
Pesto Chicken Sandwich
A customer favorite at $20. Grilled chicken breast with house-made pesto, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, and balsamic glaze on artisan bread. The combination of flavors is perfectly balanced, bright, savory, and satisfying.
The Hearty Pick
Steak Sandwich
Thinly sliced seasoned steak, caramelized onions, melted provolone, and horseradish cream on a toasted hoagie roll. A $22.50 sandwich that rivals what you would find at a steakhouse, served in a relaxed neighborhood setting.
The Fresh Choice
Mediterranean Salmon Sandwich
An open-faced sandwich at $23.75 featuring perfectly seared salmon with tzatziki, tomato, red onion, arugula, and kalamata olives on toasted ciabatta. Bright, fresh, and surprisingly light.
The Classic
Chipotle Tuna Melt & Fried Brussels
The Chipotle Tuna Melt ($18.75) delivers a spicy twist on a comfort classic. Pair it with the Fried Brussels ($10), crispy and tossed in a house dressing, and you have a perfect lunch combination.
