Local greasy spoon. But they make my breakfast just how I like it. Neighborhood spot with locals stopping by. When people visit me from out of town, we always get a platter or breakfast sandwich.

There are 3 Foundational Black Americans working in John's Diner, and I'm telling you, if it wasn't for those 3 pros, John's Diner would be out of business. When I tell you the food is delicious and has that clean taste of old fashioned diner food. You know I'm impressed. Big ups, too, those 3 workers. ? ? ?
