Stopped in for breakfast, been there many times over the years . A few times a year. Well today everything went perfect . I have zero complaints. I ordered the eggs, hash, home fries and toast . The hash looked home made and was great . Everything was cooked perfect . Service was right on point . My coffee was always full . read more

Small diner with retro vibes. We were a little bit weary in the beginning it being our first time, but the staff was super friendly towards us. When you get to your table, there's a local newspaper there detailing all the goings on at Ludlow which I thought was a nice touch. They have daily specials written on a whiteboard and I ended up going with the Blueberry loaf French toast. It tasted amazing. Ordered coffee which was that New England blend that everyone here seems to love which.. is understandable but I'm personally not a big fan of but, ok, I drank it anyway. I was most surprised by how much mom loved her veggie omelette breakfast. She's the one in our family whose very much a picky eater and she devoured hers. The waitress had brought over a hot sauce that she says the owner makes himself and I have to admit it was pretty good!. Another person in our party had the breakfast sandwich special that comes with home fries for 6.99 and in this economy, that's a deal, huge portions (see pic) During my time here I also heard that their rye bread comes from the local Portuguese bakery. I don't know that they could've done anything else to make our time there better. It really was a 5 star experience for us. Hope it will be that way for you as well. read more

John's Corner Breakfast & Lunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ludlow, Massachusetts

We came this way a few days ago to go to Church Fair and went by this place and I was like wow it looks really cute. It had keno and lottery and it was a small neighborhood like when we came back out of the fair we end up driving right by in a second time so I say if we ever ever get here again, I wanna try that place so he said OK so if we went well, we ended up winning raffle prizes at the fair so we came back here to try lunch or breakfast today, I ended up having the croissant sandwich with ham off the bone and home fries and he had a fresh blueberry muffin Not homemade, but it was good. He said which goes over well the coffee was out of this world which he's hard to please when it comes to coffee it's not very big however it does have three booths of six or more. It has three or four tables of two it has 5 tables of four and a dozen counter stools. You can see the chef cooking everything right where you sitting your fresh TV the keno machines like I said, but everything looked delicious. Had a hard time make up my mind however . I do like a good breakfast sandwich. I serve this morning with Kate. She's very smiley upbeat person explain the sandwiches in a different things that they had to offer. They have a homemade French toast. That comes either stuff with a nice homemade blueberry filling or it comes with a apples. And that this morning is 999. I think it was very reasonably priced except for the fact of the muffins were not cooked here they were commercial. Everything was fantastic and wonderful. Came out right away hot fresh and ready to go and you know me. I am very picky when it comes to the heat of my food. There was also a manager was here and she was very helpful to the server by filling in by helping w keno when the lottery and stuff and it was very smooth, ride all the way through this glad I stopped here for breakfast. This is what we call the hidden gem in town read more

We stopped in for the first time today with no expectations and were happily surprised. My wife got a bacon and fried egg sandwich on French toast and I got two eggs over easy with a pancake and rye toast. We both got home fries and shared a plate of kielbasa hash, because neither of us had it before. Both of us thought the hash was OK but could have been better if all the ingredients bonded a little more for that true hash consistency. Everything else was pretty good except the bacon on my wife's sandwich wasn't crispy and that made it less enjoyable for her. Cute, old timey place with nostalgia (lots of James Dean tribute posters) and every table had a copy of the local newspaper, which is a nice touch. Very good, friendly service (the ladies are awesome!) and reasonably priced menu. We'll definitely be back to try more! read more

I happened upon this place because I randomly got off the Mass. turnpike when I was ready for lunch. I was waited on quickly, the coffee was hot, they got my order right (pastrami on rye), and they were apologetic when they didn't have something I wanted. The prices are fair, and the bathroom was clean. It's a small diner; don't expect lavish or extravagant, and you'll be pleased. read more

Great family like atmosphere. Tina always makes me feel welcomed when I walk in. The food is hot and tastes so good. This is one of my favorite places to eat!! read more

I got food poisoning and was throwing up for 2 days straight. i got the Portuguese special on the menu. i guess my time wasn't too special

Excellent food (I had a cheese and tomato omelet, home fries and grilled English muffin - with coffee), cozy atmosphere and very friendly and welcoming service. I was traveling and got off the Massachusetts Turnpike looking for a good place - hit the jackpot with this place. Highly recommended. read more

This may be one of my favorite reviews to write. I have been a "customer" of this fine establishment since before I can remember. This lovely little corner joint has been my grandfather's go to breakfast joint for decades. Since I was wee, we would come here after his tennis matches for breakfast. I have been here probably a hundred times or more. Mostly before 2nd grade since I migrated South. Tony and Gina have been running this spot for as long as I can remember. The service they and their staff provide is second to none. Always attentive, orders are always perfect. Even during busy times, it's a great time. I've always ordered strictly breakfast items. Usually your normal eggs and bacon meal type of thing. This last time I visited, I ordered an Iraqi Omelette. I'm not entirely sure what the difference is from other omelettes, but it was delicious. I'm not sure l will have a chance to visit again, as our family has now moved entirely out of Ludlow to different places, but I will always have a special place in my stomach for you guys. Thank you!!!!!! read more

I haven't been there in a few weeks and then only morning but it was not very busy . The food ok though out of some breakfast menu choices. Coffee is good served in very small cups. Lottery scratch tickets locked and not available to purchase at that time . Place is clean and 50's diner decor. Only one staff person that morning read more

Great food! Eggs, kielbasa and rye toast were AMAZING! Friendly staff! Good conversation. I'll be back

Ever feel like you are eating with friends at a restaurant? That's how this place feels. It's clean and friendly. The place is decorated with James Dean and 50's memorabilia. It's really cute. My breakfast was perfect. I got the Polish special. My eggs done over medium were spot on, the home fries are home made like they should be. Everything was great and people are friendly. If you are traveling through stop here. Really a diamond find. read more

Food and service was amazing as long as the staff. The atmosphere was extremely welcoming and cozy. Would recommend! read more

I was visiting my daughter who lives in town. This was my first time in Massachusetts. I like looking for a local restaurant when visiting a new area where I am staying. Plus I believe in supporting local businesses. I saw that John's Corner was about a five-minute walk or less from my daughter's home, so I walked on over for breakfast. When I walked in, I found the business to be clean and inviting, having a local vibe atmosphere. The staff was extremely friendly and made sure I was aware of the specials that were not on the menu. I did not have any of the specials, but ordered their "Junk Omelet" off the menu. I found the omelet to be very delicious and fulfilling and the pricing to be fair. I enjoyed my first visit there, that I did go back one more time during my visit to town. When I find myself in the area again, I will definitely be going back to John's Corner, for a good meal. read more

Found this place while driving through to NY- looking for a quick stop for breakfast. Staff were friendly, attentive and inviting. Unfortunately, the food was barely edible. My son ordered a chocolate chip waffle and got a burned AND cold waffle with hard chocolate chips on top. My breakfast sandwich was tasteless and the coffee cups were tiny though they came often to refill. To their credit, we did not complain or let them know as we were in a hurry. Not sure I would stop there again, but here's to hoping it was just an off day for them. read more

Foods not great after the reopening. Service was good. Cute place, very nostalgic 90s vibes.

John's Corner is a fun, family friendly place, meaning they treat their customers as family. We have been there numerous times, since John's recently re-opened under new ownership/management. The atmosphere, homemade meals, soups and service make it a welcoming breakfast or lunch stop any day of the week. We also have enjoyed takeout and look forward to their numerous daily and weekly specials. read more

Went today for first time for breakfast with a friend. Food was good. And place clean. Service was attentive. Will go again. read more

DISGUSTING!!! Unsanitary little hole in the wall -don't waste your time. If you manage to look past the owners/staffs hands all over everything you'll wait a lifetime to eat because apparently locals are the only ones who get served here. Then they won't read the waitresses notes and will make sure to get each part of your order wrong. I usually like little dive places but you're better off hitting one of the local chains for a meal, at least it's clean and your way!!! read more

Wow so disappointed with the "new" ownership. The prices went up and the quantity, quality, and service went down. The homefries were cold and served from a prior day. They were not cooked this morning. This dismal omlette was tiny. We won't be back! read more

Under new ownership. I had a fantastic breakfast. Homemade corned beef hash was very tasty. Homemade portuguese sausage was amazing. Definitely going back! read more

Great omelettes and sandwiches. Try the chorizo, broccoli, cheddar omelette! Awesome rye bread for toast and great egg sandwiches.They also do a lot of lottery out of here. read more

I would have liked to give this place a good review but if it says you are open online and the door to your restaurant says you should be open.... Then you should be open. You lost my business today. read more

I've ate there 2 times once for breakfast and it was ok and the last time for lunch. Had a burger and it was a hockey puck and the home frys.. yes I said home frys for lunch and they had not much flavor and were very soggy!! The flavors were off as well like he makes them at the begining of the week and just keeps reheating them.. The bread wasn't fresh as well.. the good part was the price . but I guess you get what you pay for.. read more

So I'm visiting my family in Ludlow and we are all hungover and starving. Of course Friendly's has a huge wait...and I mean..Friendly's..not good. So my brother suggests this place. I never thought I would really enjoy it! There were plenty of tables, our server was really sweet, and the portions were huge! (they didn't even ask why half of our party was wearing sunglasses at 1130 a.m.) I liked the atmosphere, it seems like a little family run place, my fav! So if your looking for some brunch/breakfast, I would really stop in! read more

Poor breakfast. Eggs ok. Bacon crisp as requested. French toast was supposed to be Texas toast but was regular and soaked too long making it soggy. About 8 pieces of home fries and coffee weak and tasteless. read more

Great breakfast. Chocolate chip pancakes are a must have. I love this place so much! If you are ever in the area and need a quick bite come here the place is awesome! read more

Great little breakfast spot in Ludlow. Best omelets around, hands down. Family run business with a very friendly atmosphere.

First and last time food sucked french toast was soaked bacon not cooked all the way and rye toast was white toast.... after 40 mins for food was cheap tho but again you get what you pay for... our older woman waitress was very miserable she should just quit wife had ham bacon eggs while situation sucks very loud not good for kids.... read more

Didnt want to star at all. Walked in and the waitress said nothing to us, sat there for about 5 mins (mind you there is no one in there) the cook finally had to come over us give us our silverware, menus and bring us water while she stood there with a puss on her face. After we decided we had to call her over, she never once checked on us. Food was mediocre, even if it was good wouldnt go back. read more

Ordered on door dash and got half our order. When I called to see about the other half the man on the phone was rude and straight up told me I was wrong. I hung up, checked my receipt, and called back to let him know there were things missing that I paid for. He argued with me, continued to yell at me and told me they never charged me for the other things. Will NEVER order from here again. read more

Geat breakfast. Lots of food for not a lot of money. Has a dirty diner look to it but the food makes up for it. I have been going here for years, in fact my childrens pictures are on the wall. read more

Love this diner, my boyfriend stop by for breakfast at least once a week if not more. It's hard to come by a family run diner in these parts, but they have it. Decor is a little outdated but we go there to eat not to stare at the walls. Makes a great breakfast for the price we always leave with a full stomach. John and his family are such nice people. I noticed that some reviews complain about slow service, I wouldn't call waiting a couple minutes slow service. Most of the time it is just John and his wife and maybe one other employee, they do it all. Wonderful local business and we will continue to support it.. This is our only breakfast destination... The only time we go somewhere else is if it's a Wednesday. read more

Good little place to relax and have some breakfast. Hot coffee, read a newspaper and watch them cook your meal. I always like stopping here. read more

Love this place. I go there with my family. Always great to support local businesses. Omelets are amazing.

Simple very casual breakfast and lunch spot. GREAT breakfast.... fan for years. Its simple, quick and good. Always my remedy for weekend hangovers. Owner run. Friendly and very comfortable setting. Nothing special as far as layout or design but your there for the food right?? Best breakfast sausage in western mass!! Watch out for side orders or your bill will be high. stick to the meals. read more

Food was amazing and quick but the service was horrible. We had to get up and ask for menus after sitting for 10 mins with only two other tables full. We then had to go up to bar and order. Asked for ice water and got room temp tap water. Its a shame the service isn't as good as the food. read more

I've been avoiding this place for years because i always found the table's to be sticky and flies everywhere but against my better judgement i decided to take my son there for fathers day being that it is right down the street from our place and had a little bit of a time crunch having to be at work in an hour. Upon our arrival we sat at the only available table in the corner that sat 2. I then watched the other tables clear out clean and new customers being sat. All those table that sat after me then started getting served food as we waited. I ended up having to leave without haven eaten. FOOD NEVER CAME... HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND I WILL NEVER SET FOOD IN THERE AGAIN, DID I MENTION THE OWNERS WIFE IS ONE OF RUDEST PEOPLE I EVER MET. read more

John's Corner is an excellent place for breakfast. There is a real home town feel as soon as you walk in and are greeted by the owners. The food is fabulous and is very reasonably priced. If you want a great breakfast in a friendly atmosphere at a reasonable price, then John's Corner is the place to go. read more
