i love this place, probably the first people who kindof new me in baltimore. GREAT FOOD great people (and great ice) i first came into this place when my preschool evacuated in there during a potential gas leak- they were so nice and caring and didn't bat an eye! read more

Ordered double meat on the breakfast sandwiches- barely two strips of bacon and the sausage was a half of a patty ! Wont be going there again !!! read more

Food and service is awesome here. Ambiance is more like when you're here you are family. But the food does not disappoint. I've been working in the canton area for 3 years now and even though I tried food from over places, no one can compete with the timing and the deliciousness of the food. Their breakfast platters are awesome, I prefer the bacon. My go to meals here are the chicken cheese steak, no sauce hot wings and the turkey burger with small fries pepper only with a side of mayo and ketchup to mix. Family owned and operated. read more

As a Jersey Boy, I can go in and get breakfast sandwiches on a kaiser roll. Haven't had the whole menu yet, but enjoy everything I've been eating from here. read more

For me it was good because it was convenient. I would do carry out on a hungover day here but won't be RUNNING back.. a bit pricey for an old school sandwich shop in my opinion. I would like to try breakfast- I had tried their lunch! read more

Was charged $8.11 for a 3 egg with cheese and NO meat breakfast sandwich. That's ridiculous. Never going back.

No frills and solid food. Guys working were nice as well. Easy enough to get a cup of coffee and a nice breakfast sandwich. Lunch items also good. Friend of mine's mother comes down just for the shrimp salad. read more

Favorite subs around! Their Italian cold cut and cheesesteaks give me life. Quick delivery. Awesome people. LOVE JOHNS

This is a good fast griddle breakfast typical coffee and eggs or pancakes nothing special but just good griddle food I will go there when I need a quick breakfast additional American breakfast and the guys were fast and efficient. read more

Our office ordered their rib eye cheesesteaks for the first time and can honestly say we were not dissapointed. The meat was tender and very tasty. Not like other sub shops that use minute steaks and try to pass them off as Rib eye. The sub rolls were soft and they were packed with meat, muchrooms and fried onions as requested. We will definately order from them again. I can't believe I have worked in this area for 30 years and didn't know about John's carry out. Thankfully one of our staff had read reviews on Yelp and convinced us to try them. The staff was extremely nice and the food was done and ready for pick up when I arrived. Thank you read more

The Food was great. I ordered a cheese steak and it was really good. They use a good sub roll and it was really filling. The service was fast and my food was hot and fresh. The staff is kinda rude but it's to be expected when working in such a busy place with good food. read more

Nasty cold food, took 1 hour to be delivered.

My Go-To cheeseburger Sub spot. Awesome for breakfast as well. Not a fan of their pizza though - too much cheese.

I eaten here a few times because I was hungry and this place is two blocks away from where I live. I've only lived in Canton a short while so I don't know whats new and whats long timer here. However, this place looks like its been there for a long while. The menu is old school Baltimore diner with a selection of sandwiches, subs, and seafood. I've tried the crabcake sub, steak sub, and gyro. I'd say the gyro was the most memorable, tasty but not dynamically outstanding. Prices are mehhh and service about the same. Not a stellar place with anything that really stands out but if you are hungry, they can make something to get you by. read more

Really great, simple easy takeout in a pinch. Ordered a chicken cheesesteak, beef cheesesteak and fries and the order was ready in 5 minutes. Fresh tasting and warm. Would definitely recommend for an easy lunch/dinner in. read more

Great for we were looking for, something casual and inexpensive for a quick bite that will fill us up! Very thankful for the kind staff that let us sit in there and talk as long as we wanted to. I like the authenticity and how it's exactly what you expect, and great American food. read more

I would not recomend the dump. To be honest eating from a dump would be better. The food tasted like trash and the coffee was terrable. I had a bagle with the thinest layer of cream cheese. I dicied to give them another try later that day. My thought was maybe breakfast was not their thing. I orded the cheese burger my go to when i try a new place. I was bland and small. The pickels were still cumubers. The staff treated people like it was an inconvenice to serve you. The staff lacked their mask while cooking other peoples food during a health pandemic. read more

I ate here once about a year back when my fiance lived in the neighborhood, and even if I lived next door to this place and got a 95% discount, I'd never eat here again. John's Carry Out had the absolute WORST pizza I've ever had in my entire life, and considering what I've had in my day, this is an impressive title to take home. Dough/crust: flavorless. Sauce: flavorless....you could replicate their pizza sauce by buying a jar from the supermarket and watering it down heavily. Cheese: tasted cheap, oily, and fake. But here's the worst part....on this particular occasion, we ordered tomatoes and green peppers on the pizza. The tomatoes were slimy and had no flavor, but the green peppers were CANNED. I had no idea that green peppers came canned at all before eating at this place, but they do, and they are truly disgusting. We each ate about a slice and a half each and then threw the rest away. Again, hands down, the worst pizza I've ever had. Based on this, there is no way in hell I'd ever order anything else from this place. I think what's going on here is that they're taking advantage of the fact that they're right on the square in Canton, and they can always count on the drunken hordes of people in their mid-to-late 20s that still drink and act like they're college seniors. That being the case, they don't have to worry about making good food, they'll still cash in on the drunk idiots wandering around that neighborhood on any given night. Absolutely disgusting food. Will NEVER order from again. read more

I have been coming here for years but today I was really disappointed. I usually order chip beef platter but today the changed the recipe and it was disgusting. The hash brown were mushy and it had slabs of meat instead of chipped.. I guess scoozie's and Kaufman's are the only decent places to get breakfast around here. read more

John's Carry Out - a partially eaten meal - Sandwiches Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I'm conflicted on how many stars to put, as John's delivers what you'd expect an older, diner-style, carryout place to deliver. Your expectations need to be in line with that when going here. Hours are great for when nothing else is open and location is very convenient to all the action in Canton. Breakfast is one of my favorites there and pricing is really fair at ~$4 for a toasted bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese, and about the same cost for french toast. Both are consistent go-to items for me! The dining atmosphere, on the other hand, leaves a lot to be desired. It's incredibly dated, plain, and just... drab. We stop in late night after the bars sometimes to sit in, and service is quick. If you deviate at all from the menu, don't expect it to actually happen (asking for a certain kind of bread or different kind of cheese, etc), but if you stick with the menu you'll get what you order. The cheesesteak was good, the fries were crispy, the grilled cheese was grilled nicely, and the gravy on the side was appreciated by my friend. We will continue to go here for hungover breakfast and late night drunken snacks! Oh, they also serve your basic beer (Bud Lt, Miller Lt, etc). read more

Best sub shop in South East Baltimore. I've been eating here for years. The bread is toasted and crisp and the subs are very filling. Other entrees are delicious too, but my go to is there cheesesteak. Don't under estimate this Sub Shop and check it out. Great staff too! Friendly and accommodating. Primarily family run. Perfect for a quick dine-out, Carryout, or delivery! read more

I've been coming here since I was a little kid. The place is exactly the same because why fix what isn't broken? Food if good, staff is friendly, and prices are good. Fed stop in and try it out for any meal. read more

This place has been around since I was a child. We use to go down and get subs and fries. Sit in the dinning room.

I have ordered twice this week. Fries, a turkey sub, and a salad earlier. Just now my bf and I ordered again. I had the veal cutlet, milkshake and poppers. He had the cheesesteak, milkshake, poppers and old bay fries. We have enough food for two more meals. It was all delicious and fresh! This is my new favorite delivery restaurant. Haven't had hots like this since I lived in Chicago! Thank you for the amazing food and it's so ridiculously reasonable! read more

My work carryout I usually get steak on pita it's the best with French fries and they put ketchup on fries which makes me happy. My other favorite thing here is birch beer. I usually come here because I can walk around the corner from my job. My coworker is the real fan she loves this place brags about the coffee says it's the best along with the grilled cheese and crab cake. I've actually had the crab cake and it's not bad I think it backfin crab meat though but wasn't bad. read more

When it comes to the topic of johns, where does one begin? Probably the sense of family you get right when walking to the door. John's friendly family is ready at the griddle to greet you with a smile and an omelette, a Reuben sandwich, you name it. One menu item I must stress is the milkshakes, which are proudly advertised in neon lighting in the storefront window. There is something to be said for these shakes. I don't know what it is about the milkshakes, but there's something magical about them. Especially on Sunday evenings right before close, when John and the boys have the machine running hot from a long day of servin up thick fresh shakes. It is a well oiled machine and John always has the freshest milk and ice cream. Highly recommend the shakes on a Sunday evening read more

When I ordered half of a chicken cheesesteak, I wasn't expecting a huge sandwich. I didn't have a ruler, but I think their "half" subs are close to a footlong. That being said, there is a LOT of bread. The flavor was fine, but the chicken was sort of dry. Ate it with provolone cheese, tomatoes, and hots - just the way I like it! I also ordered a side of fries, which also came in a large portion. Nothing special, but it hit the spot. So if you are looking for large portions of okay food for a reasonable price, this place will do. read more

The WORST pizza on the planet!!! How is this place in business. The cheesesteaks are just ok. But they have to stop serving that pizza. Even for drunk food this place is not good. Who is wroting these good reviews???My guess is neighbors trying to support a local business. You have try if just to see how bad it is. read more

John's is a classic Baltimore pizza and sub joint. There's nothing healthy here, but it tastes good when you just want to eat what you know. Order at the counter and take it to go or eat in - they have several tables in the dining area. Did I mention it's a good place to catch up on the soap operas? That's the daytime TV selection. Sweet tea, sodas, chips, and cheesecake are available to wash down the main course. read more

Nothing special, a little expensive. Half of a cheeseteak was 5.50 and there wasn't a lot of meat on it. French fries were bland and $2.25. Drink sizes were very small. Good for a quick lunch, but with lots of other choices around might not be worth it. read more

I work in Canton and everyone at my work enjoys breakfast or lunch from John's. I have heard they are known for their breakfast. They always have fresh coffee, at work we also enjoy their pancakes, hash browns or breakfast sandwiches. We like their subs and other food too, for lunch or dinner. I'm sure it's not the most healthy meal we could choose on the square in Canton but it's a nice treat. read more

Love the food best cheese steak in Baltimore. The staff are friendly and helpful. The dining area is plain but welcoming. The food is cooked fast and always done right. I love them steak and cheese, but, chicken tender platter and Ruben. Such good food. read more

After hearing many good reviews on other pages about the cheese steaks we thought we'd try it out. Ordered that, fries, Jalepeno poppers, and chicken tenders for the little one. Needless to say the chicken tenders were the best of the order... Cheese steaks were okay... For the price and quality you can certainly do better easily at Caton Bakery. 4... Count them 4 Jalapeno poppers for $4.95... Not worth it at all! Fries were less than mediocre as well. All in all... If you want a cheese steak go elsewhere... read more

When we first moved to the city I wanted a good Ruben. Everyone told me to hit the Irish joints or Lenny's. Johns is down from where I work and it was the special of the day so I tried it. Best Ruben in town. Since then I've also fallen for the Blt's, cheese steaks and fries and a most amazing western omelette. read more

legit cheese steaks and everything else I've had is good too. Have had it both sober and drunk and it doesn't disappoint.

If you don't keep your eye out, you might miss seeing this place. They are located in the corner of Canton Square and aren't very flashy. It has an old time feeling ambiance inside. The amazing thing about John's Carryout is that you can call in your order and it's ready in about 5 minutes. (Not to confuse this place with Jimmy John's, whose quality in subs is nowhere close to John's Carryout). Their chicken cheesesteak is amazing! You can get it loaded up however your heart desires. Another perk is that you can wash your food down with a yummy milkshake! Not many places around offer milkshakes, so I love that they have this option. The staff is all very friendly. The only way to make this place better was if they delivered. Perhaps one day they will! read more

I've had food from John's a lot, since I've lived in the neighborhood my whole life. The staff is friendly and helpful. It's a good place to sit alone and eat or go to on a date or with friends, very comfortable atmosphere. Their pizza is great. The mini pizzas are good for a quick snack, they're big enough to hold you over during lunch, and are small enough for a kid. Their mozzarella sticks and French fries with gravy are always satisfying! The breakfast platters they serve are great and filling, you can pick multiple options of what you want in your platter. Also, their pizza sub is to die for, especially if you get pepperonis and sausage in it! I've never had a problem with their food or service. read more

Great breakfast place. Very low key, just bacon & eggs any way you want 'em. Fast and fresh. A classic. Do not come for the ambiance. (Or do!!) read more

Great Gyros! Been coming to Johns for a long time. Other sub shops come and go but johns remains. Guess that should tell you about how good there food is. Great portions and great price. read more
