JoLei’s Diner

"We love this restauranteur. She is extremely creative and very community oriented. Food is awesome. Atmosphere is welcoming."

"We hired Jo Lei's to cater our wedding. We were beyond excited as the owner discussed a whole baked potato bar with us and let us pick all the toppings we could have wanted. We ordered enough for 150 people and discussed her bringing the food, setting it up to serve, and cleaning up the buffet afterwards. We had a decent amount of people inform us they would no longer be able to make it, bringing our guest count down to 110. We kept our original numbers with the caterer, excited to have a lot of leftovers for the next couple days as we settle back into reality after a stressful year planning. Wedding day, we had 96 guests show. We fed 96 people with a buffet set for 150. Come the end of the night, I noticed all the food was gone and several guests were complaining they only had time to make it through the buffet once before she cleaned up EVERYTHING and left. Multiple guests said to us that they watched her carefully load multiple pans of food into her vehicle. I was a little preoccupied getting married, so I'm not sure how much she loaded up. But to have nothing left over? Seems unrealistic. To my understanding, we paid for the food and her service. To have her service and then HUNDREDS of dollars of food gone when there should have been plenty extra was wild to us. Upon contacting her the next day, she said she threw everything away (unlikely as we looked in the trashes and only found a few scraps) and that all that was left were two pans of meat and 3 bags of potatoes. We are very frustrated that the food we paid for, for 150 people, fed 96 people and had little to no leftovers. We will not be using for catering again, and with concern for her plans on the leftovers we will not be dining again."

"First time actually visiting Vermontville so decided to stop in for a bite to eat. Pleasant small town diner with a nice relaxing feel. Was greeted promptly with a friendly smile! I chose to have breakfast for lunch and it was very good! Would highly recommend this diner when in the area!"
