Been going for 30 years. And Everytime you’d walk in, would be greeted like an old friend. Great food, great people. A true find when you want a home cooked meal

Decent classic food, nothing too special. Service was fine but can see why regulars like it.

Great family run restaurant where they treat you like their own. My Benny is always cooked to perfection, always served with a smile, and the food is served in a timely manner even when the restaurant is full to capacity. Thank you to Tony, Peter and John for making us feel welcome.

Fair prices, food is basic but pretty good, and the restaurant itself feels like stepping back in time. It's a great place to stop in if you are looking for a quick and easy homestyle brunch that won't break the bank!

Kid-friendliness: Possibly a good lunch spot for a few younger kids

Had a breakfast club and it was amazing. My wife had the traditional breakfast and my daughter had the regular club. Great old school diner, great food, reasonable prices.

On a recommendation while in the NCR, I happened to drive by John's and I'm glad there was very little traffic, cause I slammed on my brakes like a super senior to find a parking spot. I marched in and found only one little 2 seater spot left for a Friday morning. Stunning family run joint with a lovely and efficient server who was warm and welcoming and had my order and gone! Whomever is cooking there, kudos! Perfect over medium eggs and taters. I travel there often and will do my best to come again. Well done. My fav was the hand written notes indicating where you sat at the counter and when you come up, they just know which one was yours. Old School for the win.
