John’s Lunch (Diner, 352 Pleasant), visited October 23. Despite being a lifetime Haligonian, J had never visited John’s Lunch (neither had M, who’s an “import”), and both had always wondered what the fuss was about. Burger Week seemed like a good opportunity to give it a try. And…we’re still left wondering. The Big John (their take on a Big Mac but with a deep-fried cheese patty) was “just ok” and very messy, and the fries were incredibly bland. We feel kinda bad writing this because we know it’s a beloved local institution, but unfortunately, it just wasn’t a great meal. Verdict: 2.5/5 (50%) chance of returning.
