Description

John's is a no-frills joint, but when you're starving, there's nothing wrong with a super-short wait and a simple presentation.

    From early breakfast to late lunch, John's Café doesn't pretend to be anything but a neighborhood diner serving basic, filling meals with a few Greek offerings mixed in. There's no pomp or circumstance and no bullshit. John's is a quick, bustling ... More »

    By the time New Year's Eve 2005 rolls through Lower Greenville Avenue, the institution known as John's Café will be gone. After 33 years. Why does this matter? It's the food. John's packs them in--from lawyers and local musicians to the bed-headed... More »
