john's place

best benny in victoria. never tried anything but the benny there but it's the best i've ever had in victoria.

pure heaven after 1 hour. i ordered a poutine for take out we waited 7 mins for it it came in a really nice container but i could not eat it for an hour as my lunch break was not ready yet when i finally got to eat it it was so good they used real cheese curds and they gravy was just like my mom makes in saskatchewan. in fact it was so good i could have licked out my container unreal

meh. i have eaten here twice. both times we waited forever to get a table, and both times i wasn't really impressed with my food. the first time i ordered a burger and fries- it was okay, but i don't think it was worth the wait. the second time i had pancakes, bacon and eggs from brunch. nothing special, and i was actually still hungry when i left!

one of my favorite places in town. if you seek out friendly relaxing atmosphere and to be served by people who know what they are doing and do it well, go here! plus, breakfast all day is always great. i went for lunch and created a great order! i switched my omelette to egg whites and then ordered grilled tomatoes instead of any potatoes or toast. in fact, the omelette was so good, its where i got the inspiration for this recipe. good intentions: success! well....kinda...i'm not perfect and might have taken all of the crusts from the bread bowl......

best benny's ever. went with a group of 6 people and we all thoroughly enjoyed everything about the place. great servers, great food and great atmosphere! we each had something different and the granola was really tasty. the eggs benedicts were perfectly done with the most incredible lush hollandaise with great colour from the fresh free range eggs. will be back!

great food and awesome staff!. i don't know what some of these people are complaining about because i found the staff to be warm, very attentive and kind. some of course stand out more than others, but overall i would return.

i had the chocolate strawberry waffle with cream cheese syrup. it was moist, cakey (as promised) and a great portion size for the $9.99 special. the waitress was an absolute doll and extremely welcoming, so much so that i asked if she was the owner - she said no, she's just worked there for 29 years. loved her! i think i'd talk about her more than the food. the other staff members that i interacted with were very happy as well.

it was a bit of a wait, yes, but worth it. those complaining about the wait are (in my opinion) a little unreasonable. a lot of popular places in a big city like victoria are of course going to have a line - but the atmosphere is so fun once you get in. my date and i scarcely spoke while waiting for our meals because we were busy staring at all the photographs on the walls!

i will definitely return here to try the dinner menu next.

easter turkey dinner march 29 2013. my husband and i decided to find a restaurant for turkey dinner. john's place came up on the web and we were excited to try it. great breakfast, always busy, sounded like a great idea.we received our dinner and all the brussel sprouts were raw. hardly cooked and we were unable to eat them. the potatoes were cold and very little gravy to cover it all. we sent back the sprouts and new ones came. the centers were cut out and they were still barely steamed, but they were hot. of course they came plain. no butter,no gravy, just steamed hard brussel sprouts. i couldn't believe it. even the pumpin pie you received with the dinner was inedible.the whipped cream was unsweetened so with the awful pie i walked out of there knowing i would never be back. even with the $10.00 voucher for the raw sprouts on my plate, i won't be back even for breakfast.

the breakfast wasn't bad, definitely a lot better then floyd's, wasn't to impressed with their famous waffle and cream cheese icing, but the eggs and hash browns were good. don't like how tight the seating it ..

best eggs benny breakfast i have ever had.... period! the hollandaise sauce is to die for:)

went for dinner and the food was awesome! had the meatloaf and it was the best i ever had. service was great, food was awesome. will definitely go back.

when i buy food i figure if the price is average then i will be getting at least either a large serving of greasy ok food or i will be getting a smaller serving of quality food. unfortunatly i found my serving to be not great and i was still hungry after. johns place is okay, but there are so many other good places around there is no reason to return back here.

took my mum here for breakfast and we had a marvelous experience. we each ordered the waffle and were blown away by its fluffiness. the service was sweet and attentive and we were treated like family. thank you john's place!

debra is terrific!. we went to john's place the day after our wedding in december! debra served us and she was such a delight! we were tired after the wedding and she brought us back to life! great food too! so impressed i returned with my maid on honor a week later and again great food and service! much appreciated!

note: no i don't know (am friends with) anyone at the restaurant. i asked debra for her name for this review!

they made it right. oh man my girlfriend wanted to go out for breakfast late on a saturday. not the best idea considering how crowded and popular good joints get on the weekends. we chose this spot due to the reviews and were excited for a good meal. we drank 3 cups of coffee watching at least one table order and get there food before us. oh man it finally comes out. nothing too special at all and over priced. whatever the customer service saved the day when she asked how everything was. i told the waitress nicely it just took longer than expected. she looked at the computer and checked the time it actually took and it was 45minutes! ya for simple breakfast. kinda sad. so they comped our meal and threw in a killer brownie. prob won't go back

every time i have been here the food has been pretty gross. people who like this place must be on quaaludes.
