The service feels homely, lovely time here. The atmosphere gives it an almost as if at a dinner table with loved ones with a host providing some excellent food. Been coming here for a short while now and can give a solid score of 8/10, its perfectly good, trust worthy of the quality of food, and some pretty good heat level wings. Will keep coming here further on and definitely looking forward to another jack n coke.

This place is hit or miss. Mom had a Tuna salad plate, scoops of tuna, cottage cheese, and potato salad. She said it was flavorless, didn’t come with any side of lettuce or tomato like before. My mom had to ask for crackers. My lemon rice, was too lemony, and my burger and fries were fine. The coffee was horrible. I don’t understand how coffee can be so bad at places, unless they aren’t making fresh pots. The waitress was kinda all over the place, didn’t know the menu. And it was awkward when she brought over the check and said, “this is from the restaurant, and the two Hershey kisses, chocolates are from me.” Regardless, after we left I had an allergic reaction in my car. I have no idea what caused it, because I’m ONLY allergic to nuts. So who knows.

Home cooked dishes with friendly service. They had the fresh lake perch and I’ve always been told to try it when I’m up by the Great Lakes. I did and it did not disappoint! The portion size was more than enough.

We’ve tried this place twice while we’ve been in town. The atmosphere is very inviting and the service is friendly enough. The food however is barely ok. I hope they switch some things around because it could be a gold mine. We had breakfast the first time (not good)and lunch the second. They replaced the blt (limp bacon, unripe tomatoes) with a chicken sandwich which was good. The German chocolate cupcake was good too.

A fine example of an everything restaurant. Wait staff is friendly and accommodating. The best reason to come is the pies. Really top notch and a good variety. Lemon meringue is my favorite. A solid tuna melt.

We got off the expressway to find a restroom and to eat lunch. Johnel’s was right on the corner as you get off. WOW. What a lucky find this was.
When I find a super good deal I just have to order. Ham & Cheese Club, French Fries, Bowl of soup for $9.45! I told the waitress we were splitting it (We’re senior eaters). She brought out two half filled bowls of soup, 2 huge dinner rolls and two plates with 1/2 a sandwich and ff on each. Very good and the price was supper inexpensive.

I lived in the area for all my life and recently went back to take my son for his birthday. The place is still the same and the food is still as good as I remember.

Started out thinking it is a great restaurant. After several visits, with the most recent two, I’ve changed my mind. The service is very very slow. The food is mediocre – at best – and overpriced for what you get. By the time my husband got done cutting away the gristle the steak got cold. The sauce on my BBQ ribs was barely warm tomato paste. Not sure if and when we’ll be back.

Last time I had dinner there?. Was around 1996. The food was good, but small portions. The service was a little slow too!. Maybe things are much better now!.
