Johnny Pamcakes - Rockford, Illinois

Our server seemed a little new but she was still great fer sure. Our order with plenty of changes no onion, extra cheese, etc. came out perfectly correct. The place was fer sure hoppin’! You know it’s going to be good food when you can’t find a parking space on a Wednesday. Loved the angled windows with the booths underneath. Really cool design for a restaurant. Will definitely be back! I want to try the Swedish pancakes which from description sound like crepes that are just a little thicker.

I had the French Connection. 1 of the best French toasts I've ever had. The clam chowder soup is delicious and comes with real clams. The coffee is strong. Warm and hearty meals with attentive service. Will definitely be back if I visit Rockford again.

Like your favorite diner from whenever. Fast service, normal food choices, crowded and a bit loud. Tables are pretty close together so there is not a cozy quiet atmosphere. Prices are good.

Great food, friendly staff, all day breakfast, and they keep your coffee full and hot.

Husband and I sat at the bar. My husband said the only way he would have got that good of hamburger steak and eggs was if I made it for him at home. Good food and very busy. Staff was working as fast as they could. Thoughtful and courteous service.

It's not the cleanest place. I have had to ask the waitress to get someone to wipe down the table or seats. I have been placed at a table with opened sugar packages on the table. Now on the other hand the food and service is great. Whether it's for breakfast which I love or lunch or dinner they have so good items and portions.
