Iconic Old Town Eatery Open For Business Once Again
Anyone who grew up in the Old Town area most likely remembers Johnny s Restaurant.
Nestled right on the end corner of Main St., Johnny s was a great little hole-in-the-wall spot to grab a great plate of homecooked breakfast or lunch. I remember many a Sunday morning where my family would hit up Johnny s after church for some of the best eggs and bacon in town. Food from Johnny s fed Old Town locals and those passing through, for decades, until it sadly closed its doors about eight years ago.
While it may no longer have been an operational restaurant, the memory of Johnny s permeated through the community, like legendary haunts tend to do. And those memories made their way to the ears of one local businessman who couldn t help but be captivated by the thought of such a charming little down-home spot, so close to home.
