East Johnson Family Restaurant 824 East Johnson Street, Madison, WI 53703

"I love this diner. I often tell people they have to go, and I always take guests that come to visit. Their chicken and waffles are unbeatable! The restaurant itself has an updated/new look but is still so homey. Truly a local gem. I’ve also never liked orange juice but their orange juice is so delicious."

"Absolutely delicious! Fish sandwich was the special of the day - definitely recommend. Bloody Mary tasted homemade. I wanted to try so many things on the menu...we'll be back!!! Edited to add our breakfast experience 6/10: So delicious! I recommend the standard eggs benedict 100000%. Mimosa was great too with fresh squeezed orange juice."

"Cozy place with nice atmosphere. We sat outside for brunch on a Sunday. Not a lot of shade by we liked it. Well made cocktails and food. Cheese and ranch were really good (and I don't normally like ranch)."

"Just moved to Madison and stopped for a beer and was pleasantly surprised by everything else. The staff is awesome and the food is great. Met Andrew who runs the place and he was hilarious! Get the fish fry, but really anything is good. Beer and shots too. Wish we knew about the patio before sitting down. Will be back, soon!"

"My family has eaten here 6 or 7 times, the food and service are consistently good. Always a lot of families here! The patio is super cool and feels trendy. I love the decor of the interior, a mix of modern and traditional diner. Ice cream is sooooo delicious. Fish fry is great. Cauliflower is wife fave."
