Reviews for Rockin Johnny's Diner in Kanata, ON
Poor quality food. Ordered a fruit cup for my kid and the fruits looked terribly stale! My eggs Benedict arrived cold and was... lacking flavor. Husband's basic breakfast was poor quality. Nothing felt fresh and everything just looked sad on our plates.Will not come back again! Read more
We stopped for lunch yesterday (Saturday, November 12, 2022). My husband ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap w/fries and I ordered... a traditional clubhouse w/fries. A little disappointed with serving portions. Meal was average. The actual reason I'm giving 5stars is because of what happened after our bill was settled. The waitress (I didn't gey her name) was finishing our bill whenan elderly gentleman came through the door. He had some mobility issues. He must have been in the restaurant earlier because thewaitress helped him in the door and offered him a chair & then she asked if he missed his taxi. The gentleman said he thought hesaw it but it drove away. She looked out the window and noticed a taxi at the gas station across from the restaurant. She saidit must be his. She asked if he was able to walk to the taxi but the man admitted it was quite far for him to walk. As shefinished our transaction, she offered to go and get the taxi to come closer to the door. She went out the door, across theparking lot, chatted to the taxi driver and then came back. She explained to the man that the taxi was just turning around tocome pick him up. She said that it wasn't the taxi he called, but the driver was happy to take the fare. Then she helped the maninto the taxi. I can't believe how helpful, polite and concerned the waitress was for the gentleman. It was such a random act ofkindness and it was so nice to see people helping each other. I will be back for another visit because this level of caringshould be supported and celebrated! Here's a pic of my clubhouse, which upon reflection was pretty good! Read more
I?d love to give this restaurant more stars but I was disappointed with my experience. we were seated quickly, the restaurant... seemed busy for a Saturday morning. This was my first time trying it out, I wasn?t feeling the bests energy for the server whichkilled the mood a bit. Once we ordered, the food came rarely quickly. I have to say for the amount paid on food I was expectingbetter quality. I ordered a breakfast poutine and it felt like just a bowl of potatoes, I feel like it could have at least hadsome green for garnish or spices to elevate the dish. i don?t think I?ll be trying this spot again unfortunately, maybe it wasan off day Read more
We arrived at 3:40pm and the waitress was so kind to take our order as they closes at 4pm on Wednesday. We ordered burgers with... sweet potato fries and chicken sandwich with garden salad, and milkshakes for drinks. Everything was amazing and delicious. Thewaitress (Jessica) was so nice and helped us with the menu. The menu has lots of choices, I found it a bit confusing but thanksagain to Jessica who helped us narrowing down our choices. Thanks to the cook too! Definitely will come back again. Read more
Whenever I?m in Kanata, I always try to stop here for their bacon and sausage poutine! Gravy is nice and creamy and the sausage... and bacon enhance the classic poutine. I also love how they use their breakfast home fries. Perfect hangover breakfast/brunchtoo. Wish we still had a RJD in the east end :( Read more
Very good food. The waffle are pretty good and fluffy. Chocolate milkshake is fantastic. Egg Benedict is soo yummy.
Worst breakfast I?ve had. Ordered combo 1, 2 eggs, pancakes, bacon and sausage. Everything tasted frozen and my eggs were... cold. Pancakes were so dry I couldn?t finish them and needed to wash it down with coffee every bite. Eggs Benedict also tastedfrozen. There was only one waitress so we were pretty much ignored the entire time we were there; that?s not fair to her wellbeing as an employee or us as customers. Read more
It's a very cute, retro themed diner. Our first time going there, we were seated very quickly by an extraordinarily kind... waitress. We ordered and the food came incredibly quick. That's where all the greatness ended. My husband and I had your verybasic Canadian breakfast; eggs, meat, toast, and I got an order of pancakes. The eggs seemed almost rubber? I have a slightsuspicion the pancakes were frozen before, and the meat was cooked to the bare minimum. We ended up paying over $50 for abreakfast we maybe took 3 bites of. Read more
