Johnny Pamcakes 2

I wasn't able to leave a longer review because of Facebook word limit, so I figured I'd come here to leave a full review.Tuesday I called about the cream of spinach soup (daily soup special). I never ever see it in restaurants, so I was SUPER EXCITED! The girl who answered the phone when I called was very sweet and let me know they offer it at Rockford location and this one. Perfect! I live right in town here.I headed over and promptly ordered two bowls to go, and while I stood waiting, everyone was super nice and knew I was the girl who called about the soup.Sometimes places have soups and they're underflavored or just a bit too starchy. One bite of this soup, and I was in heaven. I normally add salt and pepper to my soup, but I didn't have to add ANYTHING to this. My only regret is I only ordered two bowls. I wish I got more. I now know my Tuesday night dinner choice.They also have many options for every diet (I don't eat meat), so I'm excited to try more from here!Great job on the soup, super friendly staff and a really cute cozy setup and restaurant interior!I also brought up that Waze (which is user interfaced) had their hours listed wrong, so I changed them. No need for people to think this gem closes at 2, like I did, which caused me to race over at 1:45. (I would have posted a picture of the soup, but ate it all before I could. Next time! )

We decided to drive north for breakfast and found Johnnys on a whim. I was pleasantly surprised at the speed in being seated, the cleanliness of the tables, the very prompt service, and the courtesy of the staff. The place was crowded on Saturday morning which would be expected, however the service was very fast, the food came even faster, and we were in an out in 30 minutes. The menu was huge, the portions were huge, and the eggs were cooked to perfection. I can say I will definitely return and wholeheartedly recommend the biscuits and gravy!

Love this new location in Belvidere!!The atrium is a beautiful place and to dine in, the staff are all very friendly and hospitable, and the food is delicious and well priced.

Enjoyable atmosphere and good food. Pleasant staff; we will visit again though it is further than we usually go for breakfast. We would recommend them if asked. I

Probably the best breakfast spot in Rockford along with the E State St location. While we've eaten here a few times, this time everyone had the Swedes. 3 ordered the Swedish Connection while I ordered 3 Swedes. The Connections came with 2 eggs, 2 sausages and 2 strips of bacon. All the Swedes came with butter and maple syrup. All the pancakes were great but I should have asked for mine a little more dark. The sides were fine too. Our server was right there for coffee refills. We highly recommend it.

I love the french toast, me and my family loved it, the service was great, i love the ambience of kinda like a plant house or smth like that.Five Stars

Service was good, but I got sick after eating there. Dirty kitchen kind of sick. An indicator I maybe should have taken better note of was the onion rings looked and tasted of very old deep fryer oil. We did not eat them. I will not go back, and I hope they take a look at cleanliness practices. They won't last long getting people sick.

Great, interesting spaces (3 different rooms)... Tonight we had their Fish Fry and a Pizza... All was yummy and a young lady named Clohe took wonderful care of us

I'm pretty familiar with this location. It's attached to Kegel Harley-Davidson... Which is my local Harley dealership. Honestly I don't eat there often, but I do occasionally when I'm hungry and I need to go to the dealership. Which was the case a couple of weeks before Christmas.We were there on a Saturday Morning before the locals really took over. It's not a large restaurant. This location over the years has hosted multiple different restaurants. Thus the layout is different. There is a touch of 50's roadside diner, a dash of Family Restaurant, with sprinkles of Motorcycle Culture. There's a lot of pictures of various customers of the dealership and their motorcycles. Also at the counter some of the stools have motorcycle seats that you sit on.For those of you that are worried about a "biker" culture, let me say normally most of the people in there are local middle class people that wouldn't know the difference between the throttle and brake cable. I'm not gatekeeping, only wanting to assure you that you're more likely to run into a Karen than a Biker.We didn't have a wait. There were a couple of tables open, but they had a full house. Our waitress was nice and attentive. We were given time to peruse the menu without pressure. I decided on the Country Fried Steak and eggs, my girlfriend had the two eggs, sausage, and hash browns. The reason I don't eat here very often is that the food is okay. The gravy for the steak and eggs tasted like it was just flour and water. I know there was sausage in it, but all I could taste was the flour. The country friend steak also didn't have much flavor. The eggs were cooked perfectly. I had ordered my hash browns extra crispy, and they were. My girlfriend said her breakfast was cooked perfect, but it wasn't impressive. With what she ordered it would be difficult to make it taste bad. We came to the conclusion that they season their food for the Midwest Elderly crowd... IE bland so as to not upset their stomachs.The service and the staff working were nice and welcoming. The restaurant itself is clean and well kept. I really have no complaints. The prices were fair for what you got, because they did have good sized portions. But to be honest, the only reason I would eat here is because I'm hungry and I happen to be at the dealership. Johnny Pamcakes 2 is not someplace I would go out of my place to eat at.

Loved it. Food was great. Friendly staff. Bigger inside than we thought. Went there on a whim not knowing what to expect. It was great.
