What People Are Saying About Johnny B's Diner
The Editor

Citysearch
The Scene – Not much bigger than an 18-wheeler, and built of cinderblocks painted brick red, Johnny B's sure isn't inviting from the outside. Get over your first impression: This neighborhood anomaly transforms itself on the inside, where warm wood walls, seasonal decorations, spotless formica tables, gingham curtains and cute mismatched mugs show that someone is paying attention to atmosphere. – – The Food – What you eat is even better than what you'll see.

. . . inside is warm and wonderful! This is a scrubbed clean restaurant with old, worn linoleum floors, mismatched china, playful decor and fantastic food (not unlike grandma's kitchen!) I'm not normally a fan of diners, but this place is haute cuisine meets a Hooverville. Keep an eye on the daily specials board because unusual and worthwhile fare shows up there. If you can catch it in season, a Parisienne Omlette for brunch can both fill your belly and make your whole day look a little bit brighter!
- Pros: Exceptional fare, Casual, Good value
- Cons: , Seedy outside look

This restuarant is a hidden gold mine for the taste buds. You would never expect the quality of food inside this "trailor park" image. It's like walking into a hitched-up trailor... but after tasting one dish, you'll knoww you're in a five star diner.
- Pros: great tasting food, great looking dishes, a place where everyon
- Cons: a bit grungy looking

Awesome food, quaint atmosphere, interestingly decorated, uncommon (but yummy) food combinations. Can be crowded. Nice place to visit on relaxed weekdays/off times to observe the local flavor of Cranston.
The Details on Johnny B's Diner
Where to Sit:
The dining area is shaped like Oklahoma with a long counter taking up the panhandle. That's the place to sit when it's crowded as tables don't necessarily open quickly.
