Old John's Luncheonette

"Old John’s was opened for 70 years before it was rescued and relaunched in January 2021. The spot keeps its charming, nostalgic elements with an updated space and menu. For brunch, find several omelets, turkey clubs, breakfast burgers, and bloody marys." - Eater Staff

"Upper West Side restaurant Old John’s Luncheonette was brought back to life as Old John’s Diner, a revamped take on the seven-decade-old neighborhood staple. Find breakfast diner classics like ham and cheese omelets, egg creams, and chocolate chip waffles." - Eater Staff

"This quintessential UWS diner was revamped in 2021, by the same group behind 24-hour spot Coppelia. (They're also behind the revamp of Williamsburg’s Kellogg’s Diner). Other than some sourdough and Lavazza on its menu, Old John's looks and feels like a regular diner, but one that's functioning at peak efficiency. This is ideal when you need a thick burger and a martini before a show at nearby Lincoln Center. Save space for their challah french toast and homemade ice cream." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, hannah albertine, will hartman

"In 2021, the quintessential UWS restaurant Old John’s Luncheonette reopened in the same 67th Street location with a new name and a spruced-up dining room. Their menu has plenty of diner classics like buttermilk pancakes, steak and eggs, and omelets, as well as lighter options like a quinoa bowl. Despite the revamp, you'll still feel the old school charm as you listen to jazz playing over the speakers and talk to a server who’s been working here for years." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
