This was our first time and on Mother’s Day. We were seated right away on the patio (by choice) next to a heater. We ordered and our food came pretty quick and was delicious. I had the California Eggs Benedict and boy did the homemade hollandaise sauce blow my taste buds. It’s was so good.
The food is so delicious we are coming back again

Located in Willow Glen and the San Jose area, John's of Willow Glen offers a mix of experiences. The service and atmosphere are consistently described as top notch, with quick, friendly, and accurate service. The Greek Lemon Soup was excellent and full of flavor, and the Mushroom Burger was amazing, cooked to the exact temperature ordered and not overcooked. For breakfast, the pancakes were delicious, bacon was crisp, and chilaquiles were savory. However, some reviews note disappointment with the steak burger, chilaquiles, and hoevos mexicana being not flavorful. The chocolate chip pancakes had hersheys syrup that tasted very cheap. Chicken wings were cold. The menu has changed, with more fish and less traditional Greek items like Greek Spaghetti, Greek Burger, and Spanokipia. Some find the new chef special amazing, including surf and turf with filet and prawn, Chilean Sea bass, and chipotle ribs. Overall, breakfast alone is fairly priced and worth a visit if local, but some hope for improved food quality to match the price.
