Rockin' Johnny's Diner - Ottawa

The place is busy for certain, so obviously people like eating there. Service was prompt and friendly. So many choices on the menu it was difficult to determine if some were actually doubles just worded and/or priced differently. Why is rye bread more than white or brown? Regardless, the eggs were cooked well, the omelet was very good (according to husband), the home fries seemed odd apparently as some had a 'sweetness ' to them (according to son), but were crunchy outside, soft inside. The bacon could have been cooked longer, a bit too limp, maybe another minute or so. The pancakes weren 't bad, a little flat/heavy. The French toast was disappointing. Very plain. No cinnamon, no vanilla no nothing. Just egg and milk with a sprinkle of icing sugar. I mean, it was a very 'basic ' breakfast with nothing extra or extra flavoring or 'sprucing up '. The prices were moderate enough so I suppose that made it even. Coffee and prompt fill ups were appreciated.

Stale bread and tasteless smoked meat. Just what you expect from a food court. Waste of $20.00 and cheap on amount of meat for a Jumbo Sandwich.

I have visited Johnies several times before, usually ordering a burger and fries with a shake. However, this time I decided to try a soup and sandwich, and WOW! The chicken salad sandwich was the best I have ever had, no joke. It had the perfect balance of flavors and tasted amazing. They still serve Pepsi, which I'm not a fan of, but their shakes are awesome! I highly recommend trying the chicken salad sandwich - I guarantee you won't find anything better.

Having to do business in the area with family, I ended up few times at this retro feel restaurant where the food proved excellent and the ladies most serviceable. What's more they even have a bar to add to the enjoyment of a fine dining. When you know you are that well received and the food is that succulent and well presented you go back again and again. That's what we do.

We stopped by this restaurant for breakfast while waiting for someone at the nearby hospital. It was convenient to access with plenty of parking, thanks to being located next to a mall. My husband ordered the smoked salmon benedict with home fries, and I opted for combo #1, which included eggs, bacon, sausage, and pancakes. (My husband had to help me finish the pancake!) Overall, the food was delicious, although the hollandaise sauce was a bit thinner than we're used to. The portions were generous and satisfying. While not the cheapest option based on our menu choices, it was still a great breakfast diner to consider.
