Johnny’s Half Moon Bay

Wonderful casual spot in downtown Half Moon Bay. Not too large of seating area indoors, but if catch a beautiful day, there are several tables outdoors. Eggs Benedict were well worth my drive over from Oakland. Prompt friendly service. Counter space was available at 8:30 am on a cool windy Saturday late February. I expect Johnny’s gets quite crowded. Have to comment about their unique and original approach to presenting the bill. 😂😂

For folks living in Half Moon Bay it's home. For me, living in Oakland, it's an escape made up of surf, beaches and breakfast! And Johnny's is definately the place for breakfast. It was my first time, it was great, it reminded me of earlier times were a hearty breakfast was what it was about, to set you up for a great day! The food was excellent, the ambience was cool and the staff was very accomodating. It will now be my to go place on my visit's to HMB!

Stopped by Johnny’s on the last day of our trip. We came around brunch, so of course it was busy..this is a local favorite, so you kinda expect that. It’s right in downtown Half Moon Bay, which makes parking a little tricky during peak hours, but the town’s small and nice to walk around even with a lot of people out. The place has that old-school, retro diner feel. They’ve got the usual breakfast stuff, along with their own twists to things, which was fun to try. Service was friendly and welcoming. Yeah, there was a wait, but it wasn’t a big deal. Overall, we enjoyed the food and the vibe. If you’re in the area, definitely check this place out. Get some good food and a little bit of Half Moon Bay charm along the way.

I’ve been here several times since this new version opened and it’s always a great experience. I’m usually drawn to savory dishes but after trying my husband’s lemon ricotta pancakes last time, I had to get my own. Heaven!

Really great little family diner spot kind of like a blast from the past but less 1950s more French countryside. I recommend it for families or for anybody who wants to sit down and take it easy in half moon bay
