This breakfast diner was beyond exceptional. No amount of stars can express how much I enjoyed my experience here. First of all, Patty, whom I thought was the owner based on her being so welcoming and friendly, made my experience even more memorable! The food and coffee was fantastic! The prices are unbeatable! The atmosphere was cozy and interesting as well (it has numerous vintage photographs on the walls). Chicago was my first stop on a two week trip and it was my first time being in Illinois. As someone that didn’t know the area, I simply looked up breakfast places after waking up from my one night stay and winged it. Exceeded my expectations. I even wished I had cash on me because everyone that works there deserves a tip! I will be back whenever I get the chance to be in Chicago again. Thanks, Johnnie’s!
Great place. Good atmosphere. Old skool with very nice owners. Classic neighborhood place. I'd rather eat here than Au Cheval next door
Sometimes you simply want a great omlette, skillet, or classic breakfast. This place is around the corner from the "hip and new" places on Randolph st. but will have no line, lovely service, and a homey diner atmosphere.
If you are in the mood for a classic breakfast fresh made however you like, go to Johnnies Snack Shop.
