Reviews for John's Place Restaurant in Victoria, BC
It was my first time John?s and also Victoria too. All of my friend recommend this place for brunch. So i went there around... 11:30 with my gf. There were several teams waiting. I put the name in the list and wait 20min(it was worth to do????). I saw thefood which people ate while i was being served the table and it looks very delicious. I ordered classic benny and it was legit!!Also staffs are very friendly and very kind!! They made my day!! Read more
This restaurant has really nice retro decor. Service is great but the food was mediocre. The waffles tastes like those DIY... waffles at a hotel breakfast and the burgers were bland. The espresso milkshake was delicious though! Read more
I have been to John's several times. They have wide variety of food choices for brunch. My sister and I love their pancakes with... maple syrup cream cheese, the combination is really good. The servers are also friendly and welcoming. It could be becausethere are many people that come here for brunch especially during the weekend and there's usually a line up that we feel thatthe servers are in a hurry for you to pay for your food so you can go and let others Seat. My sister hasn't even finished hercoffee when the server came with the card machine and asked us if we are ready to pay. If you want a more relax place or a spacewhere you can chat more with your friends or love ones over brunch, maybe this is not the place for you. But if it is justbrunch that you want to try, John's could provide that for you. Read more
We have been here a few times now and it never disappoints! My husband and I had the vegan burrito and it was incredible!... Whatever was in it was very tasty and kept us full all day. I can?t wait to have it again :-) the portions are generous! Thestaff are all super friendly especially the long-term ones that have been there forever. The restaurant and facilities arealways clean Read more
A great place for breakfast! My buddy and I almost in a fight here because they were taking walk in reservations and leaving... patrons in the front lobby. Luckily my buddy didn't catch the five knuckle shuffle and we enjoyed the breakfast waffles. Theygave us complimentary bread to start and the ambience was really nice. A delightful breakfast with a rollercoaster of emotionsto experience. Read more
You definitely gotta eat here! John Catucci is right about John?s Place Restaurant. Upon entering the restaurant I was in awe... with all the pictures on the wall of celebrities and family of John. We knew this diner has a special history which I can tellwhy local patrons keep coming back. The menu is extensive; it was hard to decide what to order. We had: ???? The Belgian Waffle- as seen on ?You Gotta Eat Here!? ???? The ?Odd Couple? ???? The Classic Eggs Benny (1984) - as seen on ?You Gotta Eat Here!?added cornbread ????Omelette special for the day Generous portion and the flavours are outstanding. We were so full we neededto walk it out. The staff was so attentive and great. We will definitely come back again to try out other dishes. You gotta eathere again and again. Read more
Had a pleasant breakfast here. The service is excellent; always quick to top up coffee and check-in unobtrusively. I always... walked by as a kid growing up and haven't been here in over a decade but it was wonderful be able to come back and enjoyeverything that makes this place historical. From the fresh delicious food, great staff, to the one of a kind decor, this is alocal legend of a restaurant. Read more
What a treasure! My husband and I had brunch here while visiting Victoria. A bit of a wait, but definitely worth it. My husband... had the Catch-22, half a traditional eggs Benedict and a Belgian waffle. The cream cheese syrup is to die for ???? I'm a comfortfood lover, so the meatloaf/mashed potatoes/gravy were right up my alley. Absolutely delicious, the meatloaf was so tender andthe gravy so flavorful ???? Our charming server (lovely older lady) insisted we try the homemade pie ???? Unbelievable! LuckyVictoria is a walkable city, we were stuffed ???? Highly recommend! A definite hidden gem ????
