We opened in 1984 and have been serving REAL FOOD at REAL PRICES ever since. We are a full service comfort diner serving breakfast and lunch.

Last week we made a trip to Victoria BC to meet up with some Aussie friends that were on a cruise ship and had a stop there. We searched for a place to go for lunch on Trip Advisor and saw that John's Place had some good reviews so we chose to go there. When we entered the restaurant I was a little sceptical at first as the guy that met us at the door was dressed in shorts, running shoes and was wearing a t-shirt. He welcomed us in and sat the four of us down. Everything from there on was first class in every way! The food was excellent. The service was beyond anything I would have expected from even a Michelin 5 star restaurant. I've never seen anything like it. All the staff went completely out of their way to make us feel welcome. It's was almost like we were celebrities. They brought us different things to taste to see if we wanted to order them. I've been on a diet lately and asked them to make me something off the menu. It wasn't an issue. They did so and the food was great. The door guy, Rodney, kept coming over to talk to us making sure everything was alright. I have to say he is one cool guy! So cool that when we left the restaurant some of his guests (must be regulars) hugged him before they left. How cool is that!? Our server was great (unfortunately I didn't get his name). When we were finished and leaving the restaurant Rodney was seeing us out and asked where we were from. I told him we lived up island. He said hold on and went to the kitchen. He came back with a loaf of home made bread that they serve at the restaurant and sent us home with it. Unbelievable!If you are visiting Victoria, BC this is a must go-to for lunch. You won't be sorry! We'll be back for sure.Rodney has been with us over 30 years and he is a Victoria treasure. Iâm so glad you enjoyed yourselves.

Asked for a vegetarian meal and it was covered in bacon. They saw their mistake and took it away. Not 30 seconds later they returned with the same meal without the bacon. Sure enough, halfway through lunch I am picking out big chunks of bacon! Horrible!!

Frankie is located at a street corner. The restaurant has a decent setting and is well decorated. Service was quick cordial and professional. We, a group of friends/alumni, visited it when we were in Victoria.We had Seafood Linguine and Vegetarian Linguine Alfredo. Enjoyed it!
4. Floyd's Diner

Good tasting food. LOTS of it. Kind of greasy (not a healthy diner). The kind of place I would have relished when I was 30 (and there were lots of those in the restaurant), not so much in my 60s (not so many of us). I know it's part of their branding, but the purple building is an ugly scar on the landscape. Not a place where I'll return.Hi there! Thanks for your feedback and thanks for trying us out. Weâd love you to know we have something for everyone, including 1/2 orders or lighter fare such as soups and salads!Part of Floydâs is simply being âpink.â We know that the colour may not make itâs way into the hearts of everyone, but we hope it puts a smile on as many faces as possible:)Hope you reconsider and try us out again!

Headed to Spoons for breakfast based on good reviews here and we were well advised. Breakfast was delicious and service was very pleasant. Decor is cool diner style, everything looks bright, clean, and fun. Hubby had one of the varieties of hash, a huge plateful of potatoes topped with scrambled eggs, chorizo, tomato, peppers, and other good things. It was waaayy more than he could eat but it was good so he gave it his best shot! I tried one of the benedicts which was poached eggs and bacon on top of a grilled cheese sandwich, along with yummy crunchy potatoes, and it was all quite delicious. Coffee is also very good. All in all, an enjoyable meal. Highly recommend!
