Under new OWNERS foods knot the same QUALITY. "Taste AWFUL". The only thing thats the same is (NAME OF THE RESTAURANT STILL JOHNG,S PAID FOR FROM NEW OWNERS TO KEEP THE NAME) RESTAURANT

Not bad

How late can you get breakfast?

Breakfast ends at 11on weekdays. Maybe a little later on weekends.

Is it cash only, out do they take credits cards?

They now take credit cards!

When did ownership change? Did the Family retire & sell it?

Hi , it was in October . yes . the menus and employees are the same, food is the same

Do they take reservations?

No we don’t. But if it’s a bigger party we do like a heads up but it is not a reservation.. sorry

Is there parking available

Ample parking.

Why did you sell

It was time for our family after 47 years! The new owners are keeping all the recipes and will continue with quality food and service. We thank all of our customers for their loyalty and hope you will continue to support John G’s new owners and our staff.

Are you open on easter

Unfortunately it’s a law to wear masks. We offered to seat you outside if you didn’t have a mask. Your choice to leave. Sorry... Love that restaurant❤️

For me John G's is the place to go. Their breakfast menu his outstanding. The food is delicious the service is wonderful the whole atmosphere that place is very wholesome. Whenever I have visitors from out of state I take them there and they are never disappointed, and they wish they had a John G's where they live.

I haven't been here for years, and after ordering the fish & chips, and clam chowder for lunch, I was pleasantly reminded of just how great this place is! I highly recommend checking it out if you get the chance.

As long as you don't mind going early and standing in line this is an amazing place for breakfast! The service is solid given how busy they are but don't expect them to be at your beck and call. The breakfast is spectacular, especially the French toast but the meat side dishes are exceptional and the other sides are very good. I can't comment on the egg dishes but have been told that they are great as well.

Just finished lunch, wow, what a great meal, very friendly staff and very quick service! Blackened sea food combo was the best, with emphasis on the best! Ate the whole thing!

Overpriced. Loud. Cash only and bring a lot.Specifically asked server if the burgers were fresh, hand pattied ground beef. She said yes so I ordered the Mushroom Burger rare.Got a grey, dry piece of something that was inedible. Fries were tepid and coleslaw runny with mayo.I would have sent it back but, had I done that, my Alzheimer's dining partner would have wanted to send hers back too and that would have been a fiasco. And just a heads up - I'm 63 and I was just about the youngest person there.I'll never go there again. Enjoy your day.

Wow! This wonderful, family owned restaurant is still providing outstanding food in generous portions with good service. I had the gazpacho soup, my daughter had the clam chowder, then I had fish and chips for my main - the “petite” version was still more than I could eat. My daughter had the shrimp scampi pasta - and if I could do it over - that’s what I would have ordered. We can’t wait to go back. Remember, they only take cash!

Found this place thru Google and before going in asked someone coming out and they said we'll love it. They were correct. I had their infamous fish and chips and it didn't disappoint. Very flaky fish and well done chips made for a great lunch.

I’ve been a John G’s customer 30 + years. I always order fish and chips. Today, is the first time my wife and I have have left the establishment empty handed with no doggie bag. The new owners have obviously cut back on the portions. Not the same anymore. So sad to see the place change. I guess that’s the price you pay for now being able to use credit cards.

It was ok. But didn't live up to the popularity it has been known for. My cornbeef hash was wet and runny even though it was crisped perfectly on only 1 side. My dad's fried eggs were cold. And the Original French toast was dry. It was the first time for my father and I, and as locals we would hear stories about how they would have a line of people wrapped around the building. I'm hoping it's just because they recently opened after Covid, but I think we'll be sticking to our local Diner fare. EDITED: Dropped to 2 stars because they didn't bring out the entire order and we didn't realize until after we left.

We're snow birds and always look forward when we're in the neighborhood to stop and say hello to Wendy. We've been eating at this establishment since it was located in Lake Worth Beach. We brought family and friend (first timer) and was disappointed with the John G's Seafood combo. Although, it was as tasty like the previous owners, it was short a shrimp and scallop. It's a great meal to share with someone but now it makes it awkward splitting the contents. They increased the price of the meal and shorten some of the quantity. If you're going to raise the price keep it the same. The steak fries, which are my favorite had a dusting of spice which was extremely salty. Don't change it if it ain't broke. Not sure it's worth the trip anymore.
