Home cooked dishes with friendly service. They had the fresh lake perch and I’ve always been told to try it when I’m up by the Great Lakes. I did and it did not disappoint! The portion size was more than enough.
The service feels homely, lovely time here. The atmosphere gives it an almost as if at a dinner table with loved ones with a host providing some excellent food. Been coming here for a short while now and can give a solid score of 8/10, its perfectly good, trust worthy of the quality of food, and some pretty good heat level wings. Will keep coming here further on and definitely looking forward to another jack n coke.
The food and service always fantastic. I love the breaded veal, beef liver and stuffed cabbage. Good sized portions at a good price. Seniors don't forget to ask for the senior discount. To go orders are always packaged nicely. No spill overs.
Really big portions, same fair price. Food was pretty good. Big eaters would be happy!
We’ve tried this place twice while we’ve been in town. The atmosphere is very inviting and the service is friendly enough. The food however is barely ok. I hope they switch some things around because it could be a gold mine. We had breakfast the first time (not good)and lunch the second. They replaced the blt (limp bacon, unripe tomatoes) with a chicken sandwich which was good. The German chocolate cupcake was good too.
Always had good experience. Tasty food and good workers.
We got off the expressway to find a restroom and to eat lunch. Johnel's was right on the corner as you get off. WOW. What a lucky find this was. When I find a super good deal I just have to order. Ham & Cheese Club, French Fries, Bowl of soup for $9.45! I told the waitress we were splitting it (We're senior eaters). She brought out two half filled bowls of soup, 2 huge dinner rolls and two plates with 1/2 a sandwich and ff on each. Very good and the price was supper inexpensive.
I lived in the area for all my life and recently went back to take my son for his birthday. The place is still the same and the food is still as good as I remember.
