El Dorado Conference Center / Student Center, 300 S West Ave, El Dorado
“Visiting town on a business trip with colleagues. The hotel breakfast was cut back to the basics due to Covid. We were recommended to visit Johnny B's if we wanted a full breakfast. This is a classical small town diner. Nothing fancy, but plenty of charm. We seated ourselves and were given menus. Not many choices, but all of the essentials were there. Drinks were served promptly. Service from the kitchen was a bit slow. The restaurant wasn't overly crowded, but it took about 20 minutes to cook up a few eggs, a waffle, and an omelet. But the food arrived hot and was very good. The sausage patties were especially good - normally dried out, these were tender and really good. I ordered my eggs over easy, and they came out a little crispy. It was apparent that they were cooked on a hot griddle - too hot for over easy. They were good, regardless. We went back again for our second morning and had a similar experience. The waitstaff were very friendly and took good care of us. We had hoped to return for dinner one night, but went elsewhere to spend MUCH more money. Next time in town, we'll be sure to try Johnny's for dinner.“
