I drive by this place every week and I had never been in. A sign outside caught my eye talking about a "sports box" deal, including a cheeseburger, french fries, two chicken fingers and a soda for $13.99. I thought it sounded good and pulled in the parking lot. On my way in the front door, I noticed another sign offering a daily special of a cheeseburger fries and soda for just $12.99. I chose that one since I didn't really want the chicken sticks anyhow. I ordered my cheeseburger with just onions and I asked for a small container of pico de gallo which I popped on the burger as well. You guys, this was probably one of the best cheeseburgers I've ever had. The fries were really great also, nice and thick, and they have one of those soda machines where you can get 4000 combinations, which I really enjoy. I will definitely be back for another cheeseburger really soon. read more

Sunday morning we got there right before the crowd came. This is OK, a diner. Build your omelette, egg whites, Bell pepper, and sausage yet there was so much bell pepper. I couldn't find the egg. biscuit and country gravy was good yet the gravy was just a little bit bland and had no sausage in it. Chicken fried steak seemed to be good because the friend that I was with the whole thing. read more

$20 Greek salad. It is hearty salad with a ton of vegis underneath. Flavor is good. Reason for my average rating is the lettuce to protein ratio. They use head lettuce which isn't the best type of lettuce for a salad. Not sure if I would come back to have this salad again, but I would try another menu item. read more

John's Cypress - Full Ham Steak, special potatoes and eggs - Burgers Near Me - Cypress, California

Got two combos and was super disappointed with the fries they were barely fried at all and almost no seasoning. They were so raw when you bit them it had the raw potato texture inside they were limp too. Also we ordered onion rings which were actually pretty good but they didnt give atleast one ranch with it. The burger was mediocre basic burger you'd expect from these type of places but the meat did taste cheap and old. read more

Service is good and quick. The place is very clean. The food is excellent, I had one of the best burgers I've ever had. People are very friendly! read more

Ok, fine, another review. ;) The Food: It's short order goodness, all your Americana and Mexicana standards - made to order and ready to eat in or take out. The Service: Always good! They're on top of everything, from the order to the exit, and they're always friendly. The Ambiance: Clean, with plenty of seating. They have a drink machine readily accessible and all of your condiments at each table. It's a fam favorite, particularly at breakfast time, but they always come in clutch when sports or scouts impacts dinner time. We'll be there, and we hope to see you as well. :) read more

The customer service was great. The place was remolded and very clean. Beef Burger however had pieces of chicken salad mixed into the dressing. Beef was a little undercooked for my liking. Fountain soda was flat. Even the fries tasted freezer burned. Very disappointed for a nice looking diner. read more

I went in again last week.Hungry long day Ordered a pastrami sandwich and they quoted me nineteen dollars. Cause I wanted cheese I figured what the heck i'm hungry and their food is usually pretty good.Although the portions are smaller, i told him I wanted a small drink and they told me they were closing at eight.It was only seven thirty seven They told me I could take my $19 sandwich home A real shame to charge that much and tell me I have to get out in twenty minutes... I of course, walked out without a sandwich... The lady at the register has the no concept of customer service I don't think Phil the owner knows how poorly she comes across. If you're charging that much money, I might as well go to the Katella deli and sit down And get gouged there... I actually went to the athenian on ceritos just east of valley view. They aren't as bad on pricing. And they treat you decent read more

We were looking for a nice place to feed a group of 20. According to Google, John's wasn't as busy as usual on this Sunday afternoon so I had to give it a try. Based on the Yelp pictures, the food looked great...and to avoid busy lunch spots that require a wait staff. Anyway, between myself and my family, we got a pancake special, a cheeseburger, a chili cheese dog and lastly a veggie burger. We were all super satisfied, the only complaint from my son was that the chili cheese dog was messy. But that is a given. The rest of my party got different items on the menu, and everyone was super satisfied and the food looked so amazing. We aren't in this area too often, but I have put Johns on our checklist for whenener we are. Absolutely, a nice family friendly place and a wonderful staff. read more

Been going here for decades. Used to live down the street from here and it was a spot everyone would go to back in the day. I now live way down in South county and a couple of times a year I try to come here and get one of my favorite burgers of all time. Still a great burger. Still the old school diner experience you're used to but I've noticed the service quality has dipped over time. Couple of months ago I was here again with an old friend. Saw an older gentleman by himself. I over heard the entire exchange between him and the server lady that left me pretty pissed off to say the least. This guy was by himself, ordered just a burger. It had cheese and you could tell he was upset. I could also tell this man was different and needed a little more care than others. This poor guy, asked for no cheese and he seemed so sad. The lady was so rude to him and told him just to take off the cheese and gave him a knife to scrape it off. He literally looked sad and dumb founded. She straight up immediately told him "we won't be making you another burger so here scrape off the cheese then". I'm still upset for not intervening and demanding a new burger for this man. After that debacle I haven't even wanted to come back. I've gone to the better burger joint, Volcano burgers several times over here since this crap. read more

We had a good experience at John's. Grilled chicken sandwich and sourdough bacon cheeseburger combo made fresh to order with good portions. Flavors on point and service friendly.

I placed a phone order the lady told me to the food would be ready between 10 - 15 minutes. I work across the street. I did not last more than the time they gave me. I received my fries and they tasted stale and hard as if they just sat there. I called to speak to the supervisor and he was rude once I went back for my money. He asked me for the food and the thousand islands why would I bring back food that was one nasty and two I threw away in the trash. He was talking to me very rude for a "supervisor " you need to represent and in front of the customers how rude and sarcastic he was being. Also wanted to give me back less money than what I paid for he was easily charging for thousand islands. I would not recommend that place to my co workers or family. So unprofessional he could've easily just apologized and made my experience there better than what it was and yet he continued to argue and harass me about the food and why I didn't take it back when he didn't even ask me through the phone to take it back. I will not let anyone down talk to me like he did in a condescending sarcastic way very rude read more

John's Cypress - Large French fries and thousand islands - Burgers Near Me - Cypress, California

John's is our go-to neighborhood brunch place for a quick bite and solid options that are fresh, with ample portions and tasty. My favorite is the spinach and feta omelette and my husband goes for the breakfast burrito -- huge! Pancakes are favorites here and salads, burgers and Mexican dishes are all good. On top of that (which should be the basics for a good eatery), I give them 5 stars because they are a well oiled service team. We've been coming here for years. The staff stick around and Im sure that goes way beyond family. They deliver courteous, efficient service with the same smiling faces, making regular rounds as a team to keep your coffee cup filled and tables bussed. The place is clean. Bathrooms too! When you go, say hi to a nice gray haired gentleman thats often in the kitchen keeping eye on his house! read more

John's Cypress - Prices are ridiculous!!! Johns tried to charge me $25 bucks for this exact same combo I got at Volcano Burger for $18 bucks!! - Burgers Near Me - Cypress, California

I've eaten here many times. The salads are loaded and crisp, the fries are always piping hot, and in general the food is great. The service is also always fast and friendly. However - do we need or want this gigantic of a portion? There's no way a person can comfortably finish the serving sizes they offer. I feel like if it were a more normal size, the prices could come down a bit? Right now it ends up at $20 whether I order an omelette, a chicken salad, a sandwich w fries etc. I'd rather buy a reasonably sized meal for less $, especially for items that don't hold as leftovers well ‍ read more

I went there because I was passing and wanted a good chili burger. After entering I was ask if I wanted to sit down, no I was just picking up an order to take home. As I was paying I noticed two tip boxes one for the waitress that said Waitress only and one that said Cook only. Wow the air in there was so thick you could cut it with a knife. I just wanted my food so I could leave. Burger was good, Fries were had been sitting there for awhile, just ok. If you eat there do you tip both? read more

John's Diner is exactly what you think it would be except it's a lot more expensive than what you expect. It's definitely one of those spots you crave when you're hungover, that serves fried foods like fries and zucchini, cheese burgers, and greasy breakfasts. I had the french dip, my go to sandwich in life, and it was fine, nothing special but was shocked how expensive it was. I should note the ajus didn't taste like real ajus. Part of the appeal of a greasy spoon, is the price and honestly, the quality of the food doesn't justify the price. I don't see myself returning. That being said, employees are friendly enough and keep the spot clean and comfortable. read more

John's Cypress - French Dip Sandwich Combo - Burgers Near Me - Cypress, California

This is a very nice and clean burger and grill. Prices are reasonable(Steak and egg special with toast and potatoes for $14). Service is fast and very nice. What is great about this place is the tables/floor areas are always clean. The only reason for 4 stars is their soda machine, the kind you pick your flavor from a touchscreen) never seems to dispense properly...it seems the soda water puts out more than it should. read more

John's Cypress - Chile verde omelette with boysenberry pancake - Burgers Near Me - Cypress, California

This establishment has been around for awhile. Generally, a casual, community favorite. It was a go to spot for our family. However, the most recent visit was a disappointment to say the least. We left an AirPod on 07/03. Confirmed the AirPods were at the location. The restaurant was closed on 07/04. So went the following business day on 07/05 to inquire about the AirPods. The manager and waitress said there was no such item left at the restaurant. While the waitress had AirPods in her ears. We showed them the device location, which was the restaurant. They were of no help or assistance. If anything, they wanted us to leave. It's really unfortunate that they would lose a loyal customers business and trust for $200. Hope she enjoys the AirPods. read more

Not worth a try. I knew this place wouldnt be good when I walked in. Avocado bacon burger (~$9): salty. Patty was dry. Even the avocado and the bacon couldn't save the burger. Philly cheese sandwich (~$13): salty. Dry steak. Steak is not good quality. Not much ingredients. Rather get Charlie's at the mall. Below average food not worth the price. One burger and a sandwich (no drinks or fries) for $24. I'd rather go to In&Out. Will not return. read more

The service was good, the cashier was very polite and you get the food delivered to your table if you dine in. The ambiance was very clean and relaxed. The menu was average for a typical diner with your average breakfast and lunch items. I got the chili verde omelette which came with hash browns, beans and toast. It all came out to $15, which is par for the course these days. Nonetheless, the omelette was delicious and I will be returning to try other items. They're advertising a monster patty melt for $8.99 which looked amazing also and for a decent price. Overall great find, recommend you try it out! read more

My neighbor, who dines out a lot, took me to breakfast at this neighborhood restaurant. Right away, I liked the unpretentious, spacious, open, bright interior framed by large windows. We ordered from an overhead menu at a counter looking right into an open kitchen. Prices were very reasonable. We picked a corner table with a good view of the new Cypress Lexington Park. It was quiet and comfortable, conducive to good conversations. Our orders came quickly. Note to self for future visit: my companion's generously-portioned, mouthwatering pork chop with eggs (basic breakfast) was a better deal than my omelette, albeit nicely-prepared. Service was super attractive; our waitress kept refilling our coffee. We had an enjoyable breakfast. I'll definitely be back. read more

Everyone in yelp either says John's is amazing or absolutely horrible, and the people that said John's is horrible they are 100% correct. The price of the food increase almost every two months. I got a Belgian waffle combo ( a fairly simple meal ) and was decent. But the service, everyone who gave a two star or below was correct. My waiter had dirty hands and dirtied my water cup. The utensils were half washed too. The place looked okay the wasn't anything fancy. So overall I probably won't come back again. read more

Food is fantastic with a wide variety, all done well. My favorites are the classic burger, patty melt on sourdough, and gyro combos with fries and soda. Coke soda machine has about 100 varieties, including lemonade Sprite, with free refills. Service is great, with 2 cashiers whenever needed, and they'll bring your order to your table and take away your tray/plates after you leave. It's nice if you leave a tip at the table. Ambiance is great, with a diner feel but wipe open with lots of seating and windows all around. CLEAN. Just take a peak behind the counter at their spotless stainless steel kitchen. They all take pride and ownership in making sure everything's clean. They're always mopping and even the bathrooms are spotless with ice cubes in the urinals sometimes, which I've only seen in fancy hotels or night clubs. I managed a cafe/deli for almost 3 years and I'm a stickler for cleanliness, sanitary habits, and avoiding cross-contamination at all costs. It doesn't get any cleaner than this place. read more

John's Cypress - Great Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Cypress, California

Never have a had an issue with food. Food has always been great. However, I have been to John's many, many times and each time the tall, bald, chubby white man helps me out, he's always got to have a grumpy and rude demeanor. I typically place an order online. When I go to pick up, he stares at me until I say good morning. Last time I can remember, I thought I was supposed to be greeted as the customer. Anywho, I let him know I am here to pick up my order. I still get a blank stare. So I go to the next window where I'm told I have to go back to the same window I was at previously. Ridiculous! This happens every time. read more

Service: It was mildly packed during lunch time but I was able to order fairly quickly. Also, this place brings your food to your table, which was convenient. Food: The food was decent, I ordered the Charbroiled Chicken sandwich with a side of fries. I really liked the flavor of the chicken, it was charbroiled and it showed in the taste. However, the fries were lacking flavor. Price: I spent $12.00 with no soda (I don't drink soda) which is completely normal for this type of food and area. read more
