"This restaurant is a charming place to eat, attracting both hipsters and everyday diners. I had an Americano, a cup of coffee, Brussels sprouts, an omelet, and pancake bites. One downside was a large, noisy table in the bar area, which made it hard to carry on a conversation or place an order. Overall, the food was enjoyable, though I felt the omelet could have used a little more seasoning. The pancake bites were tasty, though they were a bit moist on the inside. Both the Americano and the coffee were excellent as well."

"When I relocated here just a year ago, my sister recommended this restaurant to me. I decided to give Johnny Pamcakes a try, and I loved it! They offer quick service, friendly staff, and delicious food. However, I did notice one downside: the server had a food tray held up to her face, causing her hair to brush against the customers' meals. That’s not acceptable in food service."

"My mother in law loves this place and her and my husband have gone here for years prior to me joining the family! It’s a quaint little gem in Rockford, at the corner of a little strip mall. It has certainly grown on me. The food is affordable and the service is great! My reasoning for the four stars two things. First, the food is subpar. It’s not that it’s not good, it’s just not impressive. Two, is that they need to have a better system for random ppl coming in that aren’t supposed to be there because the last time I went, there was a gentleman that started yelling and it scared everyone. It looked like he was reaching for something while he was walking out and my mind went everywhere. So yes, security or some system needs to be put in place as this was the second time something like this happens. Other than that, the food is decent esp for the price!"

"Being vegan and in the area, my husband and I go here frequently. The tofu poke bowl is amazing. They use sushi rice, so it’s nice and sticky…not just plain white rice. It’s not as “vegetable-y” as it sounds either. So many nice flavors and textures. The vegan gyro is also amazing. They have impossible patties, vegan cheese, and vegan aioli, so sometimes I craft a personalized burger for myself- they are always accommodating. The fries are vegan and delicious. On Thursdays during the summer, they do “Dinner on the Dock”…live bands, etc on their outdoor patio right on the Rock River. They’re also on DoorDash."

"I have been ordering from John's for the past year and I always get the beef tortellini once a week! It is incredibly delicious, and their pizza is also fantastic! John's is the best Italian restaurant in Rockford. The staff is very friendly and courteous. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. Thank you, John's!"
