Reviews for Rockin Johnny's Diner in Ottawa, ON
The place is busy for certain, so obviously people like eating there. Service was prompt and friendly. So many choices on the... menu it was difficult to determine if some were actually doubles just worded and/or priced differently. Why is rye bread morethan white or brown? Regardless, the eggs were cooked well, the omelet was very good (according to husband), the home friesseemed odd apparently as some had a 'sweetness' to them (according to son), but were crunchy outside, soft inside. The baconcould have been cooked longer, a bit too limp, maybe another minute or so. The pancakes weren't bad, a little flat/heavy. TheFrench toast was disappointing. Very plain. No cinnamon, no vanilla no nothing. Just egg and milk with a sprinkle of icingsugar. I mean, it was a very 'basic' breakfast with nothing extra or extra flavoring or 'sprucing up'. The prices were moderateenough so I suppose that made it even. Coffee and prompt fill ups were appreciated. Read more
Food was good and large portion for the price. The staff were very friendly. The food was hot, fresh and made in a good amount... of time. I would definitely eat there again! Read more
I don't know if this happened to me or if it's just the way they do it, order a chocolate shake and the lady who was serving... gave the shake in the mixer steel glass ???? I don't know why she was the only one person serving I respect that but it takesliterary 2 sec to put it in the glass. It was looking so bad that I left the diner and ask her to put the plastic glass to goand I left. I don't expect this type of customer service. Read more
Food was pretty good, not the best I've had but nothing to be disappointed about. The little one loved her milkshake and inhaled... the French toast. A full sized colouring book was also well received Read more

Always love the Big Johnny here for breakfast. Staff are a very pleasant and it's a nice genuine diner atmosphere. I may come... back later today for the milk shakes :) Read more
Youre better off making this food at home. They used frozen strawberries and over ripe bananas. The hashbrowns were the blandest... I?ve ever tasted. To be fair though, My french toast and milkshake were good and their prices are cheap but theres no point inpaying if the food is gross. Read more
I have been coming here pretty well every 7 weeks for the past 5 years. Today was the worst food and service I have ever... received. The waitress (who has served me many times before) was surly, and never smiled or said please or thank you. I had toget up to ask for coffee two times before I got my first cup. I sent the first two cups back because they were insipid, cold,and bitter. I had one mouthful of the third and gave up. My food (fish and onion rings) was over done, and the onion rings werevirtually tasteless. After my food arrived, I had to chase down the waitress to get a knife, fork, and napkin. But I did get sixcontainers of cream (I told the waitress I didn't want any) and four teaspoons. They just lost a regular customer. Read more
