Went for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised.. new owner, new menu coming up starting next week!! Open for breakfast and lunch all day, instead of breakfast stopping. They are going to have different items on the menu; like crepes!! I love them, so we'll be going back soon.. Our waitress was a professional, didn't miss a click!! Do yourself a favor if you haven't been there for a while: give it a try again. FN read more

We have not been to Gohb G's since they moved from the beach side What great breakfast with our car club, Great servide Great atmosphere Great food What more could you ask..... read more

We visited on a Tuesday and they were not busy so we sat right away. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. We initially sat in a booth closest to the bathrooms and immediately asked to move. The smell was horrible. We shared this with our server and she sat us in another booth. An acknowledgment of the smell wasn't made -not sure how you could not notice! The food was good and other than the horrible smell- all was fine. read more

As diners go just fine. We had not been since they moved from the beach (15 years ago?) where there was always a wait. Now no wait, enough seating and great parking. Best hash browns ever and pea meal bacon perfect. Food choice slightly better than normal diner but likely to change!!! Just changed ownership on May13th. All staff keep telling you " it's going to get better". It did not strike me as bad to start with so we will see. Staff all surprised by quick sale last week but seem excited about it. Apparently someone from Canada who has experience running numerous franchise restaurants branching out to Florida. All very unusual- not least that every person who entered was told of new ownership. Immediately bar soon to be open? Ladies Bathroom out of soap so perhaps one change would be to check toilets. As a result cannot recommend or say bad word but watch this space and we plan to go again in a few months to see if they have soap in the ladies read more

Went here for a nice lunch with my family. They have changed and updated the menu. They now do breakfast or lunch all day. I got the Reuben on their homemade bread and the fried egg sandwich, and split them with my family. We also got the sandwich and soup special (Reuben and gazpacho). The table was wheelchair accessible. Our waitress was very friendly and outgoing. The food was delicious. The homemade rye bread was very good. This was my first Reuben, and it was delicious. The fried egg burger was made perfectly. The gazpacho came with croutons and other toppings. Overall it was a very good lunch, and a pleasant atmosphere. Will definitely be back to try some of their new breakfast menu items that looked delicious. read more

I have been going here for years and it never disappoints. They have the best breakfast and lunch. My Mom always loved the fish and chips.

Consistently very good. Sometimes waitress are a little rough But Will always go back. Everything is very good especially their French Toast with maple syrup. read more

Went here for the first time today and really loved this place! Food was amazing and service was super quick and helpful. Our server let us know that they recently went under new ownership and you can tell they are really putting in the extra effort to make this place great. 10/10 recommend read more

We've been coming to place but I haven't done a review. We had several dishes and every bite tasted great. Eggs Casino: Their twist on classic Eggs Benedict was fantastic. Perfectly poached eggs, hearty ham, fresh tomato, and that signature sauce really brought it all together. Morning Super Star: Comfort food done right. It came with crispy hash browns smothered in melted cheese, topped with basted eggs, fresh tomatoes, and toast. Hawaiian Omelette: Loaded with sautéed veggies, topped with a rich cheese sauce, and finished with a grilled pineapple garnish. Deliciously unique. Nova Bagel Platter: A classic combo done with fresh, quality ingredients--creamy cheese, ripe tomato, red onion, and just the right touch of capers. Short Stack Pancakes: Fluffy, golden, and just the right amount of sweet. A perfect side or dessert to share at the table. Each plates came with a slice of watermelon and cantaloupe which both are pretty refreshing. Everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully presented. Service was friendly and fast, even during a busy morning. We'll definitely be back. read more

I have limited experience at this establishment, but every time I come here for breakfast, they did not disappoint. Good food, good service, and a nice place to have breakfast with friends and family. Very efficient seating and ordering process. Overall, great experience. read more

It's a PB County staple. It's been around forever. If you went there back in the day when it was at the Lake Worth pier it was much smaller. This space is larger and holds more people. Food is consistent. Service is consistent. Fish and chips are delicious. I'm also a huge fan of their Reuben. If you're into breakfast they have a great lineup of Benedict's and omelettes to choose from. Enjoy! read more

I have been coming here for 25 years and I am deeply disappointed in my most recent visit. The prices have continued to go up (which I understand). But the quality and quantity of the food has dramatically decreased. I recently came back to John gs to get the cream cheese stuffed French toast that has been my go-to order. When they placed my food down on the table I was appalled. The difference is inexcusable. I understand that with covid and the change of management there have been changes here. But they kept up with the size of the food even after they changed owners... that is until today. The photos I included show 2022 vs 2025. Even my photo I took last year looks like the 2022 version. I'm so sad to say that after recommending this place to everyone I know, I don't think I will be returning after being a loyal customer for 25 years. read more

Food is classic and delicious breakfast/brunch fare. We were there in a cold weekend and because they were busy and not seating outside there was a considerably breeze coming through whenever the door was opened which affected our experience. Will go back on a morning when it's warm! read more

Came here for breakfast. No wait as summer. They don't have summer specials. Pancakes were pretty good. Corn beef hash with eggs was good. Egg sandwich special with hash browns was also pretty good. Service very good and nice atmosphere. Prices $10-15 for breakfast items. read more

We had a disappointing experience at John G's. We have long loved the breakfast and love to go there on a regular basis. Our most recent visit was disappointing. Our server had such a terrible attitude. She took our meal order and never returned. Our food was dropped off and no one came back to check on us other than to bring the check. Food was good but the lack of service clouded our experience. read more

Love this restaurant! Large menu with lots for everyone. I'm a big fan of their gazpacho and fried clam strips. Service is great, knowledgeable and attentive. Very clean inside and out, with plenty of covered seating outside read more

wonderful restaurant! South palm beach Happy hour all day close to beach This is the place!! read more

Always a vey good breakfast. Our group mets there once a month and the waitress is great and management is accommodating.

Number 1 for breakfast! Best French toast anywhere! Petite fish and fruit is my favorite luncheon choice. Or is it the lobster bisque? So many great choices. Dara and McKenzie will help you pick something great. Go there. Now...but only for breakfast and lunch. You won't be disappointed. read more

What happened to all the staff? Arrived at 2pm on a Wednesday approximately 28 diners in the restaurant and ONE (1) server that was not only waiting on all the tables, but also cashing people out. Been sitting 10 minutes without being acknowledged, had to ask twice for a menu. When paying $29.95 for a fried fish and fruit platter one would expect a higher quality service. Given water by the bus person and never asked for a beverage order. What a HUGE disappointment when the meal arrived $29.95 for three (3) Fish Sticks! Unbelievable, and one of them was terribly chewy. Had to ask 3 times for my check, and kept being told "I'll be right back with your check". Meanwhile she was sitting new guest and taking their drink orders, refilling drinks for other tables, taking pictures for guest, talking hugging and kissing what appeared to be regulars. I used to love this place, but this is my LAST visit. Service and food quality were terrible! read more

John G's Restaurant - 3 fish stick for $29.95 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manalapan, Florida

Ok but not great. The service was excellent if borderline unfriendly. Eggs Benedict with lox was great. Loved that the home fries had a crispy crunch in the outside. No idea why they put raw purple onion slices on the home fries though. The fruit served with it was ripe and tasty. The Nutella French toast was just too much Nutella....is that a complaint? But really it was too much. Sounded better than it tasted. The western omelet had big chunks of undercooked veg in it. Just ok. Wish they'd offered a refill for my iced tea. Ok but there's better places although it was efficient and moved fast. read more

Love this place for both breakfast and lunch. There are so many options on the menu that there's something for everyone. For example,pancakes and French toast choices are great . For lunch I love their gazpacho so much that I usually order a to go in addition to having it there. Also highly recommend the clam strips. There's also a large and varied drink menu. Service is great. They don't take reservations, but if there's a line, it's worth the wait! read more

Solid, reliable breakfast spot. Amber provided good service. Coffee is good, Buttons & Bows breakfast is delicious, although the mushrooms were a bit salty today. Friends had French Toast and sausage, and eggs and home fries. Great place to meet and relax over a leisurely breakfast. read more

Have been coming for years and it never disappoints -,menu is extensive and there is something for everyone - love that they leave a pot of coffee so you can help yourself!! Met a new server Dara today who was very attentive and helpful read more

I have been since that 3star review, which was just an anomaly. I'm planning on going early tomorrow to avoid the Mothers Day crowd, since my mother who adored JohnG's is no longer with us, but I can honor her by going to her favorite place. read more

It's been a long since we were here for breakfast. Wife 2 eggs, hash browns, toast. I got raisin cream cheese French toast with a side bacon. Wife liked her meal. Mine was very good. It's messy, runny and very sweet so be warned. The bacon was cooked good right so overall the $32 plus breakfast was a hit. Food prices are so out of control that we don't do breakfast out much. Overall a family run place that has been here for years. So stop by and enjoy breakfast or lunch. read more

I will always come here for coffee & the mimosa is bottomless. It's the NY style diet.

We enjoyed breakfast outside. My omelette was delicious but wasn't a fan of the potatoes though. They have an outdoor seating area which is basically right outside their doors, in the strip mall. Good people watching and nice breeze, but not much of a Florida scenery. Service was ok. Not very friendly but attentive. Good walking distance of the hotel where we stayed and stores to browse. read more

The food was great it's my favorite place to go for breakfast now after that experience. The staff were also nice but the food took a little bit to come out. Overall the food was great and the service was there would come again read more

This used to be a Gem. Not anymore. Was there before it got busy. Very slow service. Had my Favorite Eggs Casino. There version of Eggs Benedict. Eggs were poached hard. Yolk should be runny. Showed them to the manager. He said looks fine to me. Since the original family sold it. It has continued to go down hill. This would be my last visit to restaurant. Sad as we have been going for over 40 years read more

It take no effort to write a positive review for John G's. But, it is difficult to characterize the restaurant's specialty because it does two things well - breakfast and seafood. The menu also has other enjoyable salads and sandwiches, but it's really a breakfast/brunch diner that also does fish right. A longtime local eatery, it's a bit dated. An observation not a drawback. There is never a lack of parking in the adjoining lot. Service is quick indoor or outside seating. Ordering is professionally expedient and brought out with no delays. Only open until 3:00 pm, 1/2 the menu is focused on breakfast specialties. The flip side has seafoods, piled on deli sandwiches, and salads. Everything is very good to excellent. All comfort foods plentifully served and priced exceptionally reasonable - particularly for Palm Beach county. It's not the memorable best in the region, but certainly the predictable best at what they do. Highly recommended for a quick bite while reading the paper or just meeting a friend. read more

Little gem of a breakfast spot. This is our second time dining there. The original crunch French toast is the best. Avocado toast is delicious read more

My wife and I love going there for breakfast on Saturdays. Breakfast is so outstanding!!! Delicious food that is big in size. Mackenzie, our usual server, is awesome and friendly, and she provides the best service making us feel special! The whole experience is excellent! read more

I love the fried fish sandwich at John's G's. The service is great and I enjoy looking at all the pelicans they have for decorations. I also collect pelican art work. read more

Food: Palatable to Good...could be better. Service: Pleasant......not personable. Ambience: Blaring music of Led Zeppelin & Guns & Roses from 10:30 am- 12:00 noon. EXTREMELY DISRUPTIVE and very disconcerting for the small amount of Elder Diners on a Tuesday morning in October. -Just to add to the ambience....as you enter the restaurant you have the wonderful odor of the poorly cleaned bath rooms and some kind of floral scent to cover the odor. Okay so, this place was the Crown Jewel of Lake Worth eateries at LW Casino just prior to moving, selling & pre-pandemic. The family sold, re-sold, managed and re-managed and now it is just another mediocre restaurant in Florida. So sad. read more

This place is super cute and a nice little spot to eat! We just missed the breakfast menu which is what we went for but we tried their lunch menu and it did not disappoint! As soon you get there they greet you and open the door for you and all the staff were really nice! I definitely want to come back for breakfast one day!! read more

Here we are again with fantastic Margaret for lunch. She is fantastic as always, the burger and soup and sandwich was terrific as usual. We can't wait to come back! read more

My wife and I just moved to Boynton and were looking for our new breakfast spot. Went to Facebook for some recommendations and landed on John G's. Breakfast didn't disappoint. We got there around 10AM on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. We got seated right away and Ally, our waitress, was kind and offered exceptional service. 10/10 would recommended. Picture below shows the Original Cinnamon-Nut French Toast with a side of eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns and Raisin Cream Cheese French Toast with over easy eggs. read more

Been going here for years at both old and new locations. Glad to see that they finally accept credit cards. My usual favorites are still on the menu and the food was great! Was concerned about the change in ownership, Mark the new GM was fantastic he made sure that everyone was seated timely and that the service and food met our expectations. He is very friendly and approachable! We will definitely be back again! read more

Wow wow wow! What an amazing spot! Took my grandmother for breakfast, this restaurant reminds me of a restaurant from a movie, the decor was rustic, and cute. Our waitress was so sweet, she told us what people usually get, and we ordered them, the almond French toast, the stuffed croissant and the regular French toast. All was amazingg, we couldn't get over it. So fresh, different, and flavorful at its finest. We had a great memorable experience and we will definitely be returning! read more
