A few old friends are back in town . . . and you know the perfect spot to meet for an hour or three to reminisce about school days and catch up on life’s current events. John’s, of course, where they serve up a healthy portion of camaraderie, Cheers style, to every visitor who steps through their door.
Chatting with friends works up an appetite, as usual, and a perusal of John’s menu, affirms that you’ve come to the right place! If you haven’t partaken of John’s Famous Chicken Sandwich, what are you waiting for? There’s good reason it’s been dubbed such, which you’ll confirm a mere bite into this succulent fare, in demand by the most discriminating of chicken devotees. Ah, camaraderie AND good eats. . . can it get better than this?
But it does improve, as there’s more than one candidate for fame at John’s table when you arrive hungry for lunch after a morning of work-induced weekday stress. There’s the homemade soup, in which the adjective homemade climbs to new heights of heartiness and good taste. Steak and potato comes to mind, wherein the succulent flavor of beef is double-complemented by the twin P’s of Starch, potato and pasta. Soaked in full-flavored beef gravy and enhanced by cook’s expert touch with spices, there’s comfort in every satisfying spoonful.
Ah, but then there’s Friday night! You’ll be wanting to unwind from the week and cooking at home is far from mind as you enter John’s, met with the mouthwatering aroma of Fellow Fame Grabber and Wisconsin tradition, the Fish Fry. Tables are nearly all taken as you park the week’s worries at the door and immerse yourself in the swirl of Friday night chatter. Order up a plate of fish and fries, to be delivered hot and tantalizing to your table.
And, what says camaraderie more firmly than football? So make plans to do Superbowl Sunday at John’s on February 1. Hospitality and good cheer will surround you and fellow fans as the football game of the year unfolds on multiple tv’s – a good view guaranteed from wherever you sit!
You’ll find John’s Main Event at 556 North Pine Street in the heart of Burlington. Expect a warm welcome from John and Bride Puntillo and staff. . . And when you call your friends? Tell them to pack healthy appetites!
