A Regular’s Guide to What to Order at JoJo’s ShakeBAR in Pointe Orlando

You’ve wrapped a long day at the Orange County Convention Center, your crew is hungry, and somebody says “let’s do milkshakes.” That’s your cue to head a few blocks to JoJo’s ShakeBAR at 9101 International Drive, Suite 1208 and decide what to order before the sugar rush chooses for you. This place leans into nostalgic diner fare and big, photogenic desserts, but there’s a way to eat here that keeps everyone happy, from the burger person to the vegan in the group to the friend who just wants a cookie and a coffee.

Here’s how I order when I’m with first-timers, what actually fills people up, and which shakes taste as good as they look. I’ll also flag a few Orlando-specific details, like the hours and a couple of menu quirks that locals quietly use to avoid a wait.

What makes a JoJo’s shake worth the mess?

JoJo’s deals in two families of shakes. The Biggie Shakes are the over-the-top ones crowned with cookies, donuts, cotton candy, or a chocolate boxing glove, and in Orlando they’re listed at $14.95 each. Flavors rotate a bit, but the crowd-pleasers stick: Rocky IV (banana and Reese’s Pieces base, peanut butter cookie topper), Birthday (funfetti, a sprinkle donut hole, and a lollipop), and Chocolate Nirvana (an Oreo-forward chocolate storm). If you want the picture and the party, this is the path.

If you prefer something simpler and cheaper, the Basic Shakes come in classic flavors with mix-ins and land at $10.95. That’s where Cookies ’n’ Cream and cherry-chocolate live, and they hit the ice cream nostalgia button without turning your table into a sprinkle explosion. When I’ve got kids in tow or we’re walking back to the hotel, this tier is the move.

Two other sweet plays here are sneaky-good. The Milk + Cookie Flight is exactly what it sounds like for $19, and it’s easier to pass around a table than a skyscraper shake. And if you’re craving a warm treat rather than ice cream, the Hot Chocolates menu runs $6.95 and comes with toasted marshmallow options that are built for Orlando’s sudden rain showers or a cooler evening outside on the patio.

Yes, you can make it boozy. A handful of shakes and cocktails can be “spiked” for +$6 per drink, which is how a mint-chocolate shake turns into the grown-up Girl Scout or a classic becomes an espresso martini-style dessert. If you want sweetness without alcohol, skip the spike and look to the zero-proof section or build a Dirty Soda with sweet cream for $6.

What should our table order before the sugar rush?

It’s easy to fill up on fries and frosting here, but the savory menu is bigger than first-timers expect. If I’m building a shareable spread, I always start with JoJo’s Fries at $14.95, a waffle-fry skillet under mozzarella, provolone, cheddar, bacon, chives, and sour cream. That and the Brisket Nachos at $15.95 will keep hands busy while you decide on shakes. For something a touch lighter but still dunkable, the Mozzarella Sticks are $12.95 and the Bavarian Pretzel is $9.50 with honey mustard and cheese.

For mains, the griddle is your friend. The Smash Burger runs $14.95 for a single patty or $16.95 for a double, with American cheese, pickles, and a sesame bun that stands up to a shake chaser. If you want a little extra Orlando flair on the same theme, the Windy City Smash Burger stacks two patties with sport peppers and mustard for $16.95. Fried chicken fans do well with the Honey Fried Chicken sandwich at $16.95 or the Crispy Chicken Tenders with waffle fries for $15.95.

There’s real-deal comfort food too. Pop’s Pot Pie at $19.95 and the Baked Mac ’N’ Cheese at $16.95 are the plates I push when someone in the group wants dinner first, dessert second. Fish fans should look at Fish ’N’ Chips for $18.95, a nice reset when you’ve been grazing on theme-park snacks all day.

Salads are not an afterthought here. The JoJo’s Chopped is a full-tilt deli salad at $15.95, and the Like It Elote salad, with grilled corn and chipotle ranch, is $15.95. If you want protein, add grilled or fried chicken for +$6. On the brunchy side of the menu, the Pancake Stack is $13.95 and the Baked French Toast is $13.95, both easy to split if your table is dessert-first.

How much do JoJo’s Biggie Shakes cost in Orlando?

In Orlando, Biggie Shakes are printed at $14.95 each, and Basic Shakes at $10.95. Cookies clock in at $4.25 apiece if you just want a sweet bite, while that Milk + Cookie Flight sits at $19. If you’re thinking about spiking a shake or choosing a cocktail, most mixed drinks hover around $16, with a few house specials like the bubbly-forward Champagne Sangria at $17 and the Chi-Town Bloody at $18.

One Orlando-specific quirk to plan for: the restaurant notes that a service fee or surcharge may be included on the final bill. And for the convenience crowd, yes, you can order carryout from the in-store kiosk, but the Biggie Shakes aren’t offered on third-party delivery apps. If you want the towering shake, you’ll need to pick it up yourself or grab a table.

Timing matters, especially on International Drive. The restaurant’s current posted hours are Monday through Thursday 11 am to 11 pm, Friday and Saturday 11 am to 12 am, and Sunday 11 am to 11 pm. If there’s a large convention across the street, that 7 to 9 pm window fills fast; a reservation helps, or use the walk-up option below if all you need is dessert.

Is the walk-up window faster at Pointe Orlando?

Most nights, yes. JoJo’s Orlando has a walk-up setup that lets you snag shakes and cookies without committing to a sit-down meal. It’s especially useful if you’re bouncing between venues at Pointe Orlando or corralling kids who discovered the giant disco balls inside but ran out of patience once seated. I use it when the line for a table is longer than my sweet tooth can wait, or when I want to carry a $10.95 Basic Shake back along I-Drive for a hotel-nightcap stroll.

That said, some items are better eaten at a table. The $14.95 JoJo’s Fries and the saucy $15.95 Brisket Nachos travel okay but shine fresh and hot, and the $16.95 Baked Mac ’N’ Cheese is happiest right out of the oven. If you’re sitting down and trying to time the sugar crash with bedtime, put your shake in as part of the main order and ask your server to sequence it after the savories. Reservations are available if you know you’ll be here at prime time.

Vegan, dairy-free, and “not a shake person” picks that actually work

Plant-based eaters aren’t stuck nibbling fries here. The NADA-BURGER (vg) comes with a vegan patty, vegan cheese, and a vegan bun for $18.95. On the sweet side, the Strawberry Sorbet (vg) Biggie Shake is built without dairy, and there’s a seasonal Tajín‑a‑Melon (vg) shake that pairs watermelon and lime flavors with a chile-salt rim, which you can also spike if you’re not strictly zero-proof.

If you’re avoiding dairy but not sweets, the made-to-order Dirty Sodas start at $6 and can be customized with fruit flavors like blackberry or peach. Coffee drinkers will find a straightforward lineup too, with a cup of coffee at $4 and espresso drinks like a latte at $6. For the friend who came for “just dinner,” route them to the $16.95Baked Mac ’N’ Cheese or the $18.95Fish ’N’ Chips, then split a cookie box for $17 on the way out.

Kid energy to burn after dessert? The outdoor patio seating gives you a bit of space, and the location inside Pointe Orlando keeps you off I-Drive’s curb while everyone finishes the last spoonfuls. Hours here run later than a lot of nearby dessert counters, especially on Friday and Saturday until midnight, so late tables aren’t unusual once the parks empty.

Reader Q&A

Do I need a reservation on a Friday night?

It helps. The Orlando location is busiest 7–9 pm on weekends, especially when conventions are active across the street. JoJo’s takes reservations, and posted hours run to 12 am on Friday and Saturday, so a later table can also work if you’re flexible.

Can I get a Biggie Shake delivered to my hotel?

No. The Biggie Shakes aren’t available through delivery apps. If you want the full, topped shake, order it in person at the walk-up window or grab a table; carryout from the in-store kiosk is offered for the rest of the menu.

What’s the best budget-friendly way to order dessert for a group?

Skip multiple Biggie Shakes and go with Basic Shakes at $10.95 each or the Milk + Cookie Flight for $19. It’s easier to share and keeps the spend lower without feeling like you missed out.

Are there real options here for vegans or dairy-avoiders?

Yes. The NADA-BURGER (vg) is a vegan main at $18.95, and the Strawberry Sorbet (vg) Biggie Shake avoids dairy. You can also build fruit-forward $6 Dirty Sodas if you’re skipping ice cream entirely.

Still deciding? If you’ve never been, split one $14.95 Biggie Shake for the table photo and order real food like the $14.95 Smash Burger or $16.95 Mac ’N’ Cheese first. If you’re here just for dessert, the walk-up window and a round of $10.95 Basic Shakes will get you back to I‑Drive faster.
