This is a good local place for a quick breakfast, lunch or dinner. Although I would stay away from the pancakes that are to thick n don't have any flavor. The sandwiches are pretty good, just don't forget the condiments. My one n only from them is the Pastrami sandwich it is delicious. Fortunately Pastrami needs no seasoning. But the other menu items could use more seasoning or at least offer it! My rating includes staff which are better than most!

I'm thinking John's is a bit of an anomaly? It feels like a remnant of old Palm Springs from when it was a sleepier, more mellow desert town, sans the glitz of downtown. The exterior exudes that vintage vibe, down to the weird chimney element on the wide roof and big windows facing Palm Canyon. Inside it feels like a diner but with tall, wood ceilings, with a row of 70's colored booths (you know; burnt orange, maroon, pea green, etc) ringing the perimeter at the windows and some basic tables to fill in the interior space. Step up to the counter, place your order, find your own table, and they bring your food out to you. There isn't a wait staff per se, but they deliver the meal to your table and bus it after, so it's different from a diner in that sense, even though it feels like one. The menu too, leans Mex-American, with burritos, tacos and the like, but there are lots of burgers gyros and sandwich deals here too. But guess what? The salads are something else. At least the one I had, (the Salmon Salad) which was just damn huge, with a big ol slab of fish on top, lots of eggs, tons of veggies and a big cup of dressing on the side. It was amazingly good, fresh food and I couldn't even finish the thing, so I had to box it up to go. Not only that, but I thought the price was more than reasonable; I'm sure it'd be 30% more at a downtown joint. Old school, low key, and very satisfying, though the atmosphere is a bit sleepy. And there is no alcohol served here either. Just saying, if you're looking for a high energy, sleek place, this is not it. Just good solid food.

I brought my family here to have breakfast. The food was decent. I was surprised by the fact that you order and tip at the counter before you really receive any service. The booths are extremely small we were 5 and barely fit. It was Saturday morning and the place was packed.

Wife and I spent several days at our Daughter's condo about a block from John's. This became our go to place for breakfast, and a couple of times dinner. Although you order at the counter, then the food is delivered to your table by the most friendly servers, food was very good and priced reasonably. Local Police eat there, so must be good, right?

John!!!! Yes please this was super good. I was surprised since we were really just stopping for a quick bite, but the menu here was extensive and the prices were also reasonable. I got the Thursday special of croissant sandwich and opted for a side salad instead of fries. I was super pleased with my roadtrip stop here. Definitely hit the spot to hop back on the road. We also ordered the turkey bacon melt which came with oooozy cheese.

This restaurant brings me so much home town nostalgia. Menu is huge, portions are amazing. Parking is free, although lot is not huge, it wasn't an issue. Order at the counter & find a seat - food comes out super quick. I'll definitely bring friends when they come visit for a diner vibe experience. All the staff were super nice too!

Great diner type restaurant to go to if you are visiting or local. The variety is great, and based on what I've had, the food is great. Breakfast is served all day and there are daily Lunch and Dinner specials. Service is great... We didn't wait too long to get served once we ordered our food. Burgers are a go-to, but all options are good.

I forced myself to try a new breakfast place rather than one of my 5 PS favorites. Less PS, more all American diner, with great views and outdoor seating, you order at the counter and then choose a booth or table. Open every except Monday from 8 am to 9 pm. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, each posted on a separate menu board over the grill. My cheese omelet appeared at my table, thanks to my number, flagging the friendly server to my location. All condiments and jams are already at your table. My omelet, and most importantly, the hashbrowns, were perfectly prepared and served hot. The sourdough bread toast was okay. I would eat here again.
