The John Street Diner is a hidden gem known for its affordable prices and generous portions. The friendly and accommodating staff ensures a great dining experience for guests. The delicious breakfast menu, which is reasonably priced, has been praised by diners. While parking can be a challenge, many feel the overall experience is worth it. The smash burger has become a favorite, with some customers calling it the best burger they have ever had. The coffee and ice-cold beer add to the enjoyable atmosphere.
Diners have been impressed with the variety of breakfast and lunch offerings, including items like the flamethrower burger, which features flame-roasted jalapeños. Meals like the big breakfast and omelets, served with perfectly crisped tater tots, have been enjoyed by guests. The personal and comfortable atmosphere makes the John Street Diner a great place to visit again and again.
Visitors have described the diner as a "throwback to simpler dining with good real food and old-fashioned pricing." The staff has been praised for their friendliness and attentiveness, with one guest mentioning that an employee even chased them down to return a forgotten phone. Diners have appreciated the good amount of food for the price, as well as the inclusion of real maple syrup without an upcharge.
