Johnny D's

Johnny D’s offers an affordable, delicious brunch. The Garden Vegetable Scramble is scrumptious, as the eggs are consistently scrambled perfectly with a variety of veggies, including asparagus and monterey jack cheese mixed in. The meal includes homefries and oatmeal for a total of $7.95. The homefries are well seasoned and well done, some of the best I have had in Boston. I recommend substituting the oatmeal for some southern grits for an extra charge of $0.25, but ask for the butter, “on the side” - unless you like a mouthful of butter. The only part of the meal that is disappointing is the whole wheat toast, which is very basic and not well toasted. The dining experience would be more pleasurable without the live jazz music, but it is tolerable because the food makes up for it!

Not interested in a savory breakfast? The sweet breakfast items we have tried are the french toast and the pancakes, neither were exceptional, but definitely satisfying. They have many different types of mimosas and the bloody marys are quite good. Also, Johnny D’s offers several vegetarian scrambles and omelettes as well as vegan tofu scrambles.

If you are craving some brunch before heading over to the Somerville Theater for an afternoon movie — Johnny D's is the perfect spot.
