About

The smell of sizzling bacon and fresh coffee hits you as you walk through the door. John's is a no-frills counter-service diner where you order at the counter, grab a booth, and they bring your food to you. It's not a gay bar, but it's famously gay-friendly and one of the most affordable eats in Palm Springs. Omelets and sandwiches get consistent praise, while salads are just okay.

Breakfast is the move here, according to regulars who say lunch and dinner are fine but the morning meal is where John's shines. The location on Palm Canyon Drive is convenient, especially if you're staying at Camp Palm Springs down the street. If you're craving a hearty, cheap meal, this is your spot.

The food was great and the portions were very large. The chicken fried steak was awesome.

“Typical Diner..”

But that's okay if you're watching your budget. The food isn't that good, but hey, what do you expect from a diner? I only like to go there for breakfast.

“Simple Diner-Style Food”

John's isn't a gay-specific restaurant, but they are very welcoming to LGBTQ+ customers. For an affordable breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this spot is excellent. You order and pay at the counter, and they bring the food to your booth. Their omelets and sandwiches are quite good. Salads are just okay, but I find them too lettuce-heavy. The Palm Canyon Drive location is handy if you're staying at Camp Palm Springs.
