Built like the cars we love.

A love letter to mid-century America, right here in Salem, Oregon.

Our Story

Good food. Great times.

Cadillac Jo's is a throwback to when cars had fins, diners had chrome, and dinner was an event worth dressing for. We built a room with red vinyl booths, a checkerboard floor, and a proper bar — where the plates are generous and nobody's in a hurry to leave.

It's the corner of Salem where regulars become family and first-timers leave planning their next visit. Cruise in for lunch, settle in for dinner, or fill a booth with friends.

— Nancy-Jo
What We Stand For

Made to order. Made the right way.

Our burgers start with an award-winning, hand-formed 6oz patty of Certified Angus Beef® — never frozen, never rushed. We hand-cut our Idahoan fries, batter our own onion rings, and fry our chicken tenderloins to order.

The fish gets a fresh beer batter. The waffles are homemade. Even the fry sauce is our own secret recipe. It's the kind of cooking that takes a few extra minutes and tastes like it — honest American food, done properly.

The Signature

Nobody Has a Sandwich Like This.

Our Fillet Mignon Sandwich — grilled filet mignon, with or without sautéed mushrooms and onion, piled on a roll with garlic aioli. It's the dish people drive across town for, and you won't find it anywhere else.
