Johnny's has been around for a long time in Newton. We eat there a lot, because it's one of the few places that we know everyone from our 5 year-old to our 70+ parents will be happy! There's something for every taste and everything is prepared fresh, with whatever you want added or deleted. Truly your way cooking. There is a 50's Burger for the full sat fat experience, complete with greasy fries and a frothy frappe (N.E. talk for Milkshake)! There is also healthy food, like granola with fresh fruit or fat free items. Breakfast all day is fabulous! Try the crunchy French toast for a twist on a favorite you thought you knew! The only bummer is the price and the wait, if Boston College is in session.

The best hamburgers with fries in town. I would go their more often if the service was slightly quicker though. It's worth going their once, for the food. It, of course is only good for a casual meal, or if one is very hungry, thanks to the portions. Pros: The food. Cons: The crowd, the service.

Fun place for the kids but the food was very average. Burgers came luke warm and very greasy. Soggy fries.

Great place to grab a sandwich for lunch. If you go, don't forget to add on sweet potato fries here!!

This is the third time I have gone for food here. I can't understand how anyone can ruin breakfeast food and lunch so consistently. Food at best is mediocre and service is marginal. I watched my plate of food come up and waited 5 minutes for the server to finally pick it up and bring it to the table. The place wasn't even busy. My kids enjoy food and even they do not want to come back. Breakfeast for 2 came to $30.00. Pros: Location, Parking Cons: Mediocre Food, expensive, service

I like Johnny's. I really do. The food is great. The people are nice. The atmosphere is very diner-ish. However, I have take issue with ANY editorial that refers to Johnny's as "affordable". $9 for a reuben sandwich and a pickle??? This is Newton, not Manhattan. My last (read: most recent, or read: final) lunch for two people at Johnny's: 2 sandwiches, 2 cokes, 1 order of fries = $30.00 (incl. tip). Never again. Pros: Tasty, Good Atmosphere, Lotsa Parking Meters Cons: , Prices

Johnny's is a favorite restaurant when in the need for some homey foods. The menu is extensive, and the food still exceeds expectations. Great breakfast, but watch out for the weekend crowds! I recommend the deli sandwiches and the burgers.. oh, lets not forget the homemade sweet potato fries! Prices are shockingly cheap, service is top notch, and you stomach will thank you no matter what you get. I feel like I'm at an old diner in NJ here! Pros: atmosphere, menu, value
