Returned here for dinner with some family members. It was not busy when we arrived for dinner so we…read morehad our choice of seating - they have both tables as well as booths. The ladies working were very personable and our server got us menus as soon as we chose our seats. Tonight's special was a Fried Cchicken Mashed Potato Bowl. It came with choice of soup or salad and bread. I chose the Chicken Alfredo Soup. It was very hearty so I only ate a little bit knowing the bowl would also be filling. The Mashed Potato Bowl had pieces of fried chicken tenders, corn, mashed potato, cheese, and gravy. It was very filling! I really like this restaurant and will come back but breakfast is really my favorite meal here.

We also ordered a large cheeseburger, and it was very very good. Fresh veggies, toasted bun, and nicely caramelized crunch on the burger.

Pie is cooked in house, not made in house.

If you're getting a side of biscuits and gravy... plan to share it with someone. So many great options to choose from. Don't think you can go wrong with anything you decide on.

I ordered a breakfast sandwich on a biscuit and she warned me that the biscuit was too large and advised me to choose something else and I'm glad I did because AGAIN... the biscuits are MASSIVE!

Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the food, probably because it wasn't much to look at…read more I ordered poached eggs, but they came out hard-boiled. The sausage gravy was just okay, but I couldn't eat the eggs. I even cut one open and left a half on the plate so it was obvious the yolk had been cooked solid. The waitress never once asked why I wasn't eating them or if there was anything wrong. What disappointed me even more was the service. She never came back to check on us after the food was delivered. When she finally returned to refill our coffee, she was talking to someone else and looking in another direction, so there wasn't even an opportunity to mention the issue. To top it all off, I accidentally left my white Yeti behind. I went back first thing the next morning, and they told me it wasn't there. It's literally the only place I went that day, so that was pretty disappointing as well. Overall, it wasn't just the food. Mistakes happen. It was the lack of attention and customer service that left the bad impression.

They have delicious food. I love the chicken tenders and the fries. My husband always tries a different burger and he loves all of them. This time I also got an order of mozarella sticks and they were crispy and good. The fries are my favorite part especially with their ranch. The service is really great too. Its really spacious inside with really cool seating. It isn't too loud in there when you go between 3-5pm. I think its the perfect time to go with kids. They do have high chairs. If you buy a growler, save the bottle and you can refill it super cheap. My husband only paid $12 for a growler to be filled

We finally stopped on our way out of town on a Sunday afternoon, and though it's no longer a mysterious, aspirational, stop I don't regret it. I'm all about veggie/potato/meat/cheese/egg skillets and I was not disappointed because this menu came complete with one. The homemade bread was pretty great - I had sour dough because of course I did because it's the best bread. There's a lot of cutesy thrift storey stuff on the walls, and checkerboards built into the tables and there should be rocking chairs also built into the tables but it's okay because it's already made it's point.

John Boy's isn't just a diner--it's a portal. One foot in Americana, one in a dream. The menu reads…read morelike a manifesto: sprawling, obsessive, oddly precise. Every dish arrives like it's been summoned by memory. The bacon is crisp, the toast knows something, and the omelets are heavy with intention. The dining room is small, dimly lit, and full of quiet drama. The regulars speak in half-smiles, and the staff greets you like they've seen your face before--in another life, maybe. Alpena doesn't have many restaurants. That's the mystery. You drive around expecting more, but there's a stillness here. A pause. And then--John Boy's. Waiting. Whether you're just passing through or hiding out for a while, this is your place. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner. (Even if you're not hungry.)
