In town on business and saw them on TA. The food was great. The staff was pleasent and helpful. Worth a visit.

I don’t work in downtown so we used the day off as an opportunity to try some of the downtown lunch spots I have heard people talk about. I am so glad we tried John’s City Diner. Excellent food and service. You can’t go wrong...with this location. Great menu options for everyone.More

Thanks to TA reviews, we decided to walk from our hotel to John’s City Diner. I’m being lazy – read the other 5 star reviews and add me to the list. It’s a great spot with great service and great value.

We walked down the street from the Hampton. I had meatloaf with tasty gravy and a side salad. My partner had the fish and chips, good but fried a bit too long. Our bartender Phillis was wonderful. A dinner and Two drinks each $69

The food here is amazing and extremely well priced. The amount of care and effort put into each dish is incredible. Definitely a must visit while in town.

The menu options are unique. The meals are made with fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly and efficient, especially Trudy, who made us feel at home. The flavor of everything was exceptional. We will definitely be back.

This is a comfortable, popular diner approximately four or five blocks South from the Tutwiler Hampton hotel on Richard Arrington Jr Blvd. As you enter, there's a small bar to the right serving some really good craft ales. Behind the bar, there's a roomy restaurant...configured in the typical diner style (booths etc.). Our server was friendly and helpful. Service was efficient but never hurried, and the food was really very good, nicely presented, generous portions with a few new takes on diner food that we hadn't encountered before (the sweet heat pork skins were great, and we really enjoyed the meat loaf and Springer Mountain chicken from the 'classics' menu section). We had a great evening here. Very pleased.More
