John’s Restaurant: A Nostalgic Oasis for Classic American Diner Food in Palm Springs

Wonderful little diner type restaurant. We had a great breakfast! You order your food at the counter and they deliver it to your table. Great selection, good prices, what we call, great little greasy spoon My husband had chicken fried steak and I had polish sausage and over easy eggs with perfectly crispy hash browns! We are from out of town and we're looking for a great breakfast spot and we definitely found it We will be back to try the lunch and dinner options too, everything looked great

What a simple, comfortable place in which to dine. This is not fancy. You order at the counter and your food is then brought to you. The employees are professional and efficient. The food was plentiful, delicious and priced fairly. We were in a hurry and couldn't have chosen better. We'll be back. Oh, I loved the lollipops on the way out .

This is an order at the counter type diner. Old-school charm to it. Staff was friendly and grabbed whatever you needed or asked for. They are NOT dog friendly. I love taking my dog with me to places, but trust me do not try it here, there is lots of signage everywhere saying it. They are however kid/family friendly. I had the corned beef hash special with a side of French toast and both were really good and a fair price!

We always enjoy eating at John’s for the excellent food, the great (and large) salads, and their fair prices. They have many good options on their menu for vegetarians, including a vegetarian burger patty that is available. Also, their burgers are very good and the fries are also very good. We consider it a great place for breakfast, brunch, or lunch with friends or family. I gave it 4 stars only because it is a “order at the counter” style restaurant. The food is delivered to your table after ordering and sitting down. The service is usually prompt and friendly. We have never been disappointed here with our meals or felt that we had overpaid. We will definitely keep returning here.

Great food with excellent service. Ate at Rick's several times and never any complaints. There deserts are over the top so be sure to save room for some.

First time customer, found this gem on Maps. Great food, service, atmosphere. Cute female staff

First of all you must know that I'm a dinner enthusiast. DDD is high on my list of hidden gem places. John's is such a place. You can go in and tell them what you feel like, and they'll get it for you and charge you a reasonable price for a tasty and large meal. We saw a plate of fries being served to a customer and made the mistake of ordering a large plate as an appetizer for the 4 of us. A third of it was left behind. Their salads are very good with meat of your choice on them at your pleasure. Mexican, BBQ, huge burgers, steaks fish... All available, and more. The staff is friendly and helpful. We were referred to John's by the owners of monster shakes here in Palm springs: best date shake I ever had, bye the way. Go to these 2 places, they're great.

I was visiting the hospital nearby and was told John’s was the place to go for a good meal. I ordered the All-American Burger and it did not disappoint! It was huge, very delicious, and came with avocado, bacon, lettuce, and onion—basically a full salad on a burger. I didn’t need anything else, it was that filling. I was in a rush to get back to the hospital so I couldn’t get more pictures, but I’m glad I stopped here. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!
