Johnny's Luncheonette

Feel the breeze of the boardwalk when you bite into this dish: Two Nathan’s dogs topped with sauerkraut , snuggled in an Iggy’s baguette , relish , and mustard on the side. Read more

Wide variety of good breakfast offerings . The place is loud so plan to eat and leave. Make reservation before going on weekend.

This is an old-school diner that has a menu that can satisfy anyone’s hunger at great prices. Staff is on their game and there’s a background soundtrack that fits the setting.

The Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffin options are a must-try item on the menu.

The Diner hash and eggs is just a delight. Subbed fried tomatoes for the toast so it wasn't so heavy.

Very busy around lunch time, but every day there are a different combination of initials to get a special on lunch ! Very tasty breakfast options .

A Newton Center institution. Solid breakfast and pretty good value . Get their pancakes .

Challah French toast is awesome. As are the fries and sweet potato fries (they're freshly cut ).

This was my first time and it was delicious. I had The Diner and the hash was great.

Good burgers and sandwiches and a unique "floating dessert " with ice cream over root beer ...

fantastic pancakes , in addition to all their breakfast offerings . i vote for the blueberry compote or banana variety...or both!

Great place for brunch , get here early to avoid the wait on weekends

Great place for breakfast lunch and dinner with good portion sizes and prices. Food and service are good and consistent. Great local spot !

The place to see & be seen in Newton politics before 10am.

Grilled cheese is a whole loaf of bread !

Crunchy French toast , porridge , and the original Jordan Marsh blueberry muffins ...what's not to like?!

Great for a breakfast at dinner day. Love those sweet potato fries . Just wish they didn't look so orange .

Great porridge I mean great. But in order to get the oatmeal in the cream of wheat you have to arrive before 12 or one

Best retro diner around! Be sure to order the Coconut Encrusted French Toast !

The doughnuts are amazing - must try!

penicillin with matzoh balls is perfect when you're feeling under the weather

Check for your initials daily to see if you get a free meal.

Great sweet potato fries and latkes

If you get The Semi you can pay a bit more for special French Toast (coconut is recommended!)

Homemade corn beef hash gets a thumbs up

Don't forget to check the initials in the front window — if they're yours, your meal is free!

Get the porridge . It is SO good...plus the serving size is enormous, so you can take home leftovers for tomorrow.

You can get everything on challah if you want. Score!

Johnny's fruit shake is an excellent way to start any day! Also recommend "The Semi" as well .

Its waffle sundae is very good!

Get the salmon hash . It's great for any meal.

Good diner - lunch all day

The porridge is divine.

It's alright. Feels a little dirty . Had the granola pancakes . They were ok, but a little dry.

It’s very loud and fried and thick...

Try the centre, sunny side up. Best meal in the morning.

Call ahead to get on the list and don't believe the wait times. An hour ten for a fifteen minute "wait."

Best coffee around.

This place is just OK, average eatery , nothing special. Vintage decor

Careful, misbehaved children can easily ruin your meal here.

Oh, you must try the porridge . Three bears not included.

Get the banana split for two!

Waban Frittata is DELICIOUS.

Almost 10 bucks for egg whites , some dark rye , and coffee ... Eh

Great vanilla frappé !

Crazy overpriced

Porridge . That is all.

Go to Johnny's. Get some Jewish penicillin . J Newton's home office

Great matzo ball soup

Horrible food. Extremely noisy hate ir
