JoJo's on Broadway was a gastropub-style restaurant located next to Monarch Cleaners at 903 Broadway Street. It was opened by Joe Resha in the former Lag's Eatery space in 2012.

Resha, who worked at restaurants owned by his father, Tommy, including Harpoon Louie's, Jinky's and Zelda's, built the menu around his hand-made burgers, pastrami and sausages, with meat and seafood dinner specials. The "house fries" were tossed in truffle oil and topped with shredded Parmesan cheese. Other staples included smoked chicken wings, and grilled romaine salad. The desserts were prepared by Carolyn "MaMa" Green.

The restaurant expanded later into a former fitness studio. Resha closed the restaurant in June 2019. The building's owner soon later put the property up for sale.
