    This place has a super interesting menu. The food is OK. Nothing really wowed us. We were party of four and were there on a Wednesday late morning. There was only one waitress serving everybody in the place. It was weird because she had like AirPods or earphones in her ears or something and kept disappearing. There's plenty of seating inside and out. It could be decorated nicer. There's just something about this place that just does reach its full potential. we ordered an omelette, eggs, Benedict, and two items from the Daily special menu. Shrimp Tostones. plate and a Spanish plate. With the eggs Benedict, one of the poached eggs were too well done and stainless muffins weren't crispy enough to hold it all.

    Are you looking for a tasty meal? Friendly staff? Check Johana's out! We felt so welcomed, the food was so delicious, and the prices made us come back 3 more times. This is on my highly recommended list.

    Very friendly and great vibes. I will say I enjoyed the food, but it wasn't anything memorable. The outdoor seating is nice and the staff was super kind.

    Here's the pandemic / post-pandemic review. The food is still just fine in our view, made with shortcuts that aren't unusual for diners everywhere (e.g. bouillon powder in soup, a reliance on frozen veggies and frozen sausage patties, etc...) But we've really come to love this place for the consistently pleasant wait staff, fair pricing, and dog-friendly outdoor seating (frankly, a game changer for us). Johana's dog friendliness is why we know we'll be frequent return visitors. In NYC, we can safely assume that restaurants with outdoor seating allow dogs. In New Milford, it seems that a number do not (e.g. the Abbey, La Piccolina). The fact that Johana's welcomes our entire family wins our loyalty **for life**. At a recent meal, they even brought out a metal water bowl out for our pup. Love. And for the past year or two, there have been some delicious-sounding Latin / South American dishes on the menu, which we'd like to try more extensively before we review. Wait times can be very long, so bring a healthy dose of patience. For my family, at least, when all our kids are with us there's little need to rush.

    I had the scotch eggs covered in a creamy mushroom sauce and a side of bacon. So good! I am really impressed and cannot wait to bring my family here!

    We arrived and we're asked if we wanted to eat inside or outside. We decided on inside. The first thing I noticed going in was how dirty the doors and windows were. It looked like they hadn't been washed in awhile. Then when we walked in, I was hit with a strong scent of cleaner like Fabuloso or something. Definitely not what you want to smell while you're eating, especially if you're sensitive to smells. The place was a bit run down. Not very comfortable feeling. The music was too load and obnoxious. We sat for a few minutes, but the strong chemical cleaning smell mixed with the music was too much for me, so we moved our stuff to outside. Food came out and it was decent. All three of us got pancakes, but were only given 2 little metal saucers with syrup for all of us, and not till a few minutes after we got our food. We waited for awhile to ask him for more syrup, since we ran out, but I finally had to track him down, because he never came to check on us. He came with syrup and I asked if he would bring out our bill soon. We waited a bit and he never came, so I just went in and paid. He never came once to ask how everything's was. My water cup was dirty and there was hair in my son's eggs. The butter comes out cold and solid, so it's impossible to spread. Food was okay, which was the only reason I gave 3 stars.

    Last day before work gets crazy for me. Decided to stay local and go to Johana's. They have expanded the inside to fit more people. They have the outside patio that would be nice when the weather warms up. Plenty of free parking, located on the New Milford Green. Even on a Sunday there was no wait. It was crowded but there was still seating. The staff was all polite and attentive. Great menu choices at a good price. I got the Torta de Huevo. Everything I love in an omelette, including a little spicy sausage. Deliciously seasoned home fries. I sampled a little of my fiancé's blueberry pancakes. I'm not a huge fan of blueberries, but these pancakes were made from scratch with fresh ingredients. A definite winner. Another bonus is how you pay. There is a QR code right on the receipt. No need to wait for the waitress to come back. You pay right at the table, leave a generous tip, and walk out. Definitely give Joanna's a try if you have not been there.

    Western omelette with "cheese" and coffee bacon.
    Dean R.

    Visited this place a couple weeks ago after reading an apparently misleading article in the local newspaper. Very disappointed. When you 1st walk in, the set up is awkward and leaves you wondering if you should sit or wait to be seated, this all while customers gawk at you in your confused state. The service was atrocious. I was asked for my order before ever being given a menu. Water was only filled once. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time however. The food itself was weird...weird and gross. The omelette was a pill of mush. The peppers were soggy and didnt appear to be fresh at all. The bacon had a coffee flavor to it. Not sure why, I didnt order a coffee, maybe its cooked close to the percolator? The cheese was some cheap stringy crap. Of course when it was time to go, my waitress had left for the day. Her replacement waited for me to beg for the check. Lousy experience here. Get it together folks. I always give second chances, so i will be back.

The food is always very good and it's reasonably priced. The ambience is pretty basic but it suffices. The service is the service. And while none of those things sounds stellar, in some way it is. You'll always come here and get good food, good service, a comfortable place to sit, and good pricing. There's a lot to be said for that. It's on Rt. 7, north of New Milford a ways on the left hand side. If you miss it, flip a U turn after you pass the turn for Rt. 55. It's a nice place to put on your map of local spots.

This small town has a population of less than 800 (2020 Census), yet it, and the surrounding towns, seem to support this little diner based on the number of customers when we arrived at 1:30. Open daily (until 8 PM except Sunday's 3 PM closing). Five stools at the counter, eight booths, and one longish table. Fairly extensive menu, with lots of Italian and Latin dishes. Very reasonable prices. I had a turkey club w fries, my friend had her usual green stuff (salad?). My food was perfect. Hit the spot. She ate the green stuff (at least most of it). Our server, Desiree, was friendly, attentive, and handled everyone pleasantly and efficiently. The chef is also the owner. In answer to my question, they average about 75 dozen eggs in a typical week (my 5th grade math says 900 eggs). I wouldn't hesitate to stop in when in the area. 4-stars

    "Holy Unexpected Diner Experience, Batman!"…read more That's exactly what ran through my mind as I limped away from a tire blowout in New Milford, CT. While the tire shop warned me it'd be a long wait (my car apparently decided to audition for "Most Dramatic Vehicle of 2025"), my son, daughter, and I wandered across the street to 3 Brothers Diner... expecting, you know, a normal diner. BAM! POW! WHAM! We walked straight into what can only be described as the Batcave of dining. Every inch--every single inch--of this diner is covered in Batman memorabilia. From ceiling-swooping Batplanes to walls lined with Dark Knight treasures, it's like stepping into the Caped Crusader's personal brunch headquarters. Gotham could only dream of such ambiance. The place is spotless, the staff friendlier than Alfred offering warm advice, and the food? Absolutely delicious. I had the lasagna--cheesy, saucy, perfect. My son devoured his Philly cheesesteak like it was fuel for fighting crime. My daughter kept it classic with eggs, toast, and home fries, all perfectly cooked. Honestly, if you ever find yourself with a blown tire, car troubles, or just a sudden and overwhelming desire to dine with the Dark Knight--3 Brothers Diner is your spot. To the Bat-Diner!

She stated that she felt it was missing a meat and that the shell was a bit overpowering. A Cannoli waffle was also enjoyed. Good cannoli filling and a lot of whipped cream.

Recommend investing in adding a bit of whipped butter to put it over the top. Hot chocolate: Similar to Swiss miss. A classic.
