What User doesn't like about John Street Diner:
Went for a late bruch on Saturday. Ordered at the counter and paid for the meal. The food arrived and while we were eating, the television that was on, got turned off. No one came by to see if we needed anything. The waitress cleared the plates and then they turned off the lights in the dining room. No one informed us that they were about to close. We got up and left. Never again to this dump.... View all feedback. What User likes about John Street Diner:
Breakfast skillets for both of us ????! Best breakfast we've had for awhile. The fresh fruit that came with the skillet was perfect. The young man who served was friendly and attentive. Might be our new go to! View all feedback.
