What our guests are saying

Nice to have a place that cares about both quantity and quality. The Double Bacon Cheeseburger was delicious.

I worked here 22 years ago and it is still fantastic. They have added a few items like blended coffee and it is a great place to go with the family. They always have 95.9 the fish on so you know it is always a family friendly environment.

Looking for a great "Hole in the wall" burger and breakfast place ... this is it. At John's Place, you'll get good serving sizes at a good price. We've always enjoyed great service and a very comfortable atmosphere. I recommend the shrimp dinner and ask for 1/2 fries and 1/2 zucchini.
