Johnny’s Diner

Love this place for breakfast. We always stop here whenever we come to visit our son at Full Sail. This is a family owed and run diner, and the staff are so friendly and welcoming, and the service is very good. The breakfasts are hearty and tasty, and they always get the eggs cooked just right. The coffee is great and they keep your cup filled up. The grits could be a little creamier, but that would be my only compaint.

Simple but great place for breakfast. Staff is wonderful and friendly. The food is great with very reasonable prices. Definitely will be back.

After our second visit to Johnny’s in the last two months, my wife said to me, «Don’t ask me to go to Johnny’s anymore.» I have to agree. The quality of food is not that good, and the portions are average at best. However, the service by the energetic young ladies is quite good. It just doesn’t make up for the weak food.

A great local diner, family owned and operated! Delicious country fried steak with country gravy. The greek omelette is always delicious with a side of tzatziki! Pancakes are yummy and coffee is plentiful!

What an experience. It took less than 6 minutes from the time we ordered to the time we received our food. And speaking of food, what a bargain it was. So much for such a great price. I’m a cheap foodie and Johnny’s is my new breakfast, lunch, anything spot. My partner was equally as impressed with the service and food. Can’t wait to return.

This place wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good. The food was typical diner food for a good price but it has an old-​time feel to the place– like it was once a bustling diner that is now run down and needs some repair. Go with low expectations and you’ll be much happier than I was.

This was my first real meal after a 60 day fitness challenge and I must say, I am so glad we came here. The food and service was amazing! I will definitely be returning!

If I were in the area and hungry and wanted decent food at a good price served quickly, I would return to Johnny’s. I sat myself at the counter today, grabbed my own menu and placed my order. The service was okay but I was more impressed by how quickly my food came. The breakfast special for $ 5.50 is hard to beat but the OJ at Waffle House is much better. But really, joints like Johnny’s don’t have to go out of their way to impress anyone. They are a part of the backbone that built the dining experiences we have today. Nothing fancy, but certainly vital.

Stopped by here one Saturday morning for breakfast with my wife. This place was packed, wall to wall people. That is a good sign. People talking to folks at other tables, jays a good vibe about the diner.
Our server greeted us and brought coffee and water. That’s my girl!
I ordered a Greek omelette which had the right amount of feta cheese, peppers, onions and gyro meat. It came with a side of grits. Must be Southern Greece, ha ha.
My wife had strawberry pancakes. These were real strawberries with a strawberry sauce on them. I tried them, they were delicious. All the food was tasty, and served hot. They kept the coffee cup and water glass full.
The staff here is really on top of things.

Girls are beautiful and friendly, food is really good and reasonably priced. I love going to this diner.

The other reviews sum it up pretty well. This is a good no frills diner. My breakfast was fantastic and some dishes have a little greek flare. The service was prompt and helpful. I also enjoyed the coffee, which is essential for me when choosing a place for breakfast. Pretty neat place, for breakfast and lunch. Can’t wait to go back.

This is a straight up, no frills diner and for that, it rates excellent. I was disappointed my omelette was made with canned mushrooms until I tasted it, and I quickly came to realize it was pretty dang tasty regardless (although fresh mushrooms would have made it REALLY delish). It wasn’t swimming in cheese and butter and the egg was done perfectly, not overdone as is common practice. I had a side of grits and toast, that was actually toasted (another seemingly rare occurrence these days!). The servers were awesome and despite the volume, kept the crowd moving without rushing anyone. The price was right too… and for added bonus you watch dirty old men run their vehicles through the «Baywash Bikini Car Wash» just across the parking lot.

We’ve been going here for years. The food tastes like it should, nothing fancy, but good. They have early bird, breakfast and daily specials. You can never go wrong with eggs, toast and bacon or sausage. The meatloaf is moist but has bell peppers in it, which is unusual. The veal cutlet is delicious as it comes out hot and fresh. The Italian wedding soup and shrimp bisque are so yummy, I could’ve had a second bowl.
This little mom and pop place is family owned and are the servers and cooks. They have 2 locations in the area. It gets packed for both breakfast and lunch, especially on the weekends. So, come in early or you might finding yourself waiting for a seat.

What a great switch-​up from a typical breakfast location!
My husband and I stopped by Johnny’s Diner with a friend one morning after stumbling across it on Unilocal,and boy oh boy we were not disappointed one bit! It was a Sunday morning and this place was pretty full with lots of folks who seemed to be «regulars». Their menu had pretty much any typical breakfast item you could imagine. Although we arrived around 10 AM, they were already serving items from their lunch menu as well. The tuna salad was great– which is usually a hit or miss item at restaurants. We will absolutely be back!

The best breakfast in Orlando. It beats IHOP and kekes, also half the price. The whole staff makes you feel like family, and the servers are the best. Marina and Martina are always on point with refills, check, and bringing the food out quickly. Worth 5 stars and another visit soon.

This family owned slice of Americana is a local gem!
As a lover of diners, I have experienced practically every sort of menu. Their menu is diverse and visually well conceived. They have a fair amount of breakfast options; however, it does not stop there. Their menu has a Greek influence with gyro sandwiches and entrees. I stuck with breakfast and ordered the greek omelette. As a goto, it dawned on me that I have never had a greek omelette with gyro! What a treat!
The atmosphere is warm and buzzing with regulars. Eating alone presents an opportunity to take in the vibes. It just feels good to see people interacting with each other in such a positive way.
My waitress was friendly and personable. For a location so frequented by regulars, it is nice to feel welcomed as a first timer. There is a sense that is everyone is family here; something special that is hard to come by these days.
Bottomline: A family owned diner beloved by locals and full of heart. What else could you ask for in a diner?

We stopped in for a quick lunch and we were pleasantly surprised! The food was great and the service was friendly. The Greek omelet and Chefs Salad were fine! They have great coffee, a fact the always guarantees a Diner to be worth a return visit! Although we do not live in the area we will definitely stop in next time we are in the neighborhood!

The food is amazing, the prices are great, and the staff is so friendly! I’ve been here for breakfast as well as lunch and if I hadn’t started a diet, I’d be going back all the time! Let’s just say, I know where I’ll be going on my «cheat» days.
I’ve had the biscuits and gravy as well as the chicken fried steak. I’m a biscuits and gravy «expert»; anywhere I go that has them, I have to try them. This place now has my favorite biscuits and gravy in Orlando. I ordered it with the ham & eggs, and I think it was like…$ 6. Yum!
The portions are generous, especially for the price. It’s nothing fancy but it has to be one of my favorite places in Orlando, now. The girls who work there are so friendly and on top of everything, and as a country music fan, I love being able to sit and listen to the music they play!

Love love love love this place the waitresses here are really awesome. Always friendly and smiling the food is good the prices are really great authentic real diner whenever my friends come in from out of town I always take them here for breakfast.

Johnny’s has been around for 19 years… and today I finally tried it. Really great, and I’ll be back for more.
Traditional home style cooking, open until 3pm. I had their biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs and loved it. The biscuits were not crispy or hard like some other places, nor were they very greasy. The sausage gravy was nice and thick, and had a great amount of black pepper in it. I’m a fan of black pepper and I heard traditionally the gravy has lots of pepper, so I appreciated this quite a bit!
The one thing that I was really impressed by was the service. Sure, it’s a small place in an older shopping plaza… but the place was packed. The servers smiled, were friendly (and pretty!) and unfortunately the service isn’t commonly like that when you visit many homestyle restaurants in Orlando. Give it a shot… you’ll enjoy it. :)
