"Kudos to John" praise patrons of this "steady" Lincoln Park original and its Roscoe Village sequel where affordable American eats and "accommodating" staffers make them ripe for "family dining"; even doubters who dub them merely "fair" concede they're "good places to be relaxed with kids."
From strollers to date night, John's Place is a Lincoln Park staple with a little something for everyone.
A classic Lincoln Parker with a coveted outdoor patio and some darn good pumpkin pancakes. Not up for the sweet stuff? The Webster Street omelet is solid.
John's Place Restaurant Review:
This neighborhood restaurant has become a magnet for young, urban parents --- many of whom head straight for the chopped salads. The fried calamari is fine; so is the gumbo. You’ll also encounter diverse dishes like Mayan skirt steak, fish tacos and seared chicken in a spicy peanut sauce, so it's ideal for the whole family. But it's the brunch fare --- especially the pancakes --- that draw us...
