We were searching for new counters around town because our list of remaining ones was running low, and we ran across Johnny's on Yelp. Reviews were good and it wasn't too far away, in Hudson at the Hudson Plaza shopping center. It was a beautiful morning for a drive, so we headed down there mid-morning.
Johnny's is the typical kind of place that tries to be a 1950's/60's-era diner -- pictures of old cars, a jukebox, lots of chrome inside, and a classic diner menu (burgers, shakes, fries, etc). On this Saturday morning it wasn't too busy -- a few tables occupied, but the large counter totally empty.
We were welcomed nicely by the staff and had drinks within minutes. Excellent coffee in a nice heavy mug! Ted had the usual eggs, potatoes and toast, with fruit. Cam felt compelled to try to the chicken tenders and fries. Everything came out hot and perfectly cooked -- good quality all around.
While we were eating, the owner (John) came out of the back and was talking to some of the regulars and to us -- very friendly guy, seemed to know everybody. He had some good stories and road trips and food, fun to listen to.
Combination of a beautiful day, great meal and friendly service made the a memorable counter. Only negative was that the counter stools were not too comfortable -- so unless you like the counter too, go with a table. Other than that, we highly recommend!
Cam says: "Good service with great food! Not a very comfortable counter, though. I'll give it 8 frying pans."

Ted says: "Solid menu, good service and great quality food. Fake 50's decor is not my thing. Definitely worth the visit. A very strong 8 pans!"
