Kitchen is open until 2am every night. The Turkey Reuben is good. For late night breakfast , The Special (pictured) is the way to go!

Sunday brunch is excellent!! Nothing fancy but really good quality & tasty food. We didn't need to eat again until dinner ; we were stuffed! Great local joint.

Erica Copeland

The Fruity Pebbles French Toast is so amazingly delicious!!! Technically, you don’t even need syrup ! Comes with a side of meat of your choice. Great brunch spot for anytime of the day!

Brent Walker

The humus appetizer is fantastic! The best I've had in Detroit and it's easy to share with 4 people who just need a snack . Staff is friendly . Good value

Does Honest John's have the best burger in town ? You'll have to go sample it yourself to make that call. We'll just leave it at a maybe. [Eater 38 Member]

What can you say about a place like Honest Johns? It is like CNN, in that it is always on. They've got breakfast , lunch and dinner . Early, late, all day! Super late! But No, it's not HBO.

Get the chicken and waffles with wings instead of the tenders! Delicious food, but we were also starving because of the long wait .

Jordan is the bestttttt. He was so nice and welcoming to everyone that came in. Definitely asking for him again and again!

Late night food! Kitchen open until 2 am. Chicken (wings ) and waffles are phenomenal!!

Classic Midtown. The food is fantastic. The jukebox is always playing just what you need at THAT moment. POCKET OF JOY sandwich . Veggie Chili .

Rachel the bartender is the best...love her and the food is pretty awesome too! Good people good times...

Even though John doesn't own the place anymore, still a Detroit classic. Can't go wrong. Simple, un-fancy, Motor City real talk.

Check out the selection of beers and food. And scope the little goth bartender .

THE best juke in all of Detroit. Good food, kitchen open until 2am daily, friendly staff , cold beer . but watch out: no photos (of any kind) allowed. Ask why -- good backstory.

Nothing like an Honest John's breakfast with beer and coffee to get you fueled up for Opening Day. LOVE this place.

Connor Valone

I've grown up here, love the BLT. Whole family frequents and maintains great relations with John!

Turkey Club on rye is legit. Add a side of fries or onion rings (preferred) to complete you meal.

Lindsey Jara

Open 7am-2am Monday-Friday and 9am-2am Sundays!

Chuck

Try the soups ..all of them

Marquel Howell

Be hip or be invisible I guess. Sat at the bar had to wave the bartender down. She seemed annoyed and it was downhill from there. Left after 1 drink, went in for brunch .

Chow Down Detroit

Great selections for vegetarians .

Juan Geldres

Big O omelet with feta instead of Swiss and add turkey sausage . Wash it down with an Oberon.
