John’s Restaurant has a 1960’s feel to it like I saw depicted in American Grafitti. I loved the early Palm Springs vibe with Palm trees in front. I found out John’s opened in 1985.
I ordered fried chicken with fried zucchini at the counter.
Fried chicken had crispy skin with tender and juicy chicken underneath. I enjoyed the fried chicken flavor.
Zucchini was cut like french fries. The seasoned batter was crunchy. Good mix of flavors from the batter and the zucchini. Pretty good dish.
2nd visit I ordered the eggs and sausage with a side of bacon.
Home style potatoes had a crispy outer layer and lots of potato flavor. Eggs were scrambled and full of egg flavor.
Bacon was crispy and I liked the salty flavor.
Sausage was my favorite part of the meal and had a tasty savory flavor. Toasted bread had a nice crunch and mild flavor.


Soda water was complimentary and refreshing.
Service was friendly and efficient.
There are daily specials that sound great.

I’ll have to time my next visit for when that ribeye steak is available.
