This restaurant was walking distance from our hotel. Staff were great and friendly...after I ordered the meatball from their menu but didn't liked it...they immediately offered to change it to another entree of my choice, and was never charged for both!:)

Great ambience and decor... diner style booths, baseball memorabilia, friendly service, a Victoria institution. Plus they take reservations for brunch so no need to queue. Food is only ok: all the classics are available from a wide selection of eggs benny to huevos rancheros and waffles. Strawberry smoothie was very good. IMO though there is better brunch to be had...

I have always loved Johns Place even when I lived in Victoria. Coming back as a tourist it was even more of a revelation. Great selection of food funky retro-style interior with a juke box. Furthermore the menu is extensive and tasty. The meal was prepared quickly and service is excellent. All in all a classy joint which begs repeat... More

I and my partner, visited twice during our stay... More

I have only been here for breakfast, but it is a place I like to return to again and again, CREAM CHEESE SYRUP?? so delicious.. just got here :)

We chose this restaurant based on the TV show "You Gotta Eat Here". Food was disappointing. The only good item was the herb bread. Service was decent.

Went for breakfeast on the first day of vacation. Wife and I both ordered a different version of the eggs benny. Both of us ordered our eggs soft (usually I order snotty) they came soft but not with a flowing yoke. When I mentioned this to our server Liz she apologized and returned with $10 worth of gift certificates, keep... More

I had the worst chicken strips I have ever experienced at this restaurant. I was with a group and just wanted wine and an appetizer. The chicken strips were a large entree size, not finger size at all, and covered with some kind of thick crusty tasteless batter. The dip was excellent, the service was good and the wine prices...
