After 23 years as a neighborhood standard, Johnson’s Diner left its original Parramore digs in 2006 for an upmarket West Church Street address (on the ground floor of the City View apartments). Despite the shiny new look of the place, the diner hasn’t sacrificed any of its soul when it comes to the delicious southern-style comfort food on the menu. With 120 seats, the restaurant continues to draw everyone from regular AM patrons who’ve been coming for years to NBA stars and local politicians. Breakfast offerings are pretty standard, with fluffy hotcakes, egg dishes, sausage and grits. The homemade biscuits are the stuff of buttermilk dreams, but they're only served on Fridays and Saturdays. Lunch and dinner favorites include catfish fried in a cornmeal crust, thick slices of meatloaf and twin pork chops smothered in brown gravy (there's oxtail for the more adventurous). Desserts are just like grandma used to make 'em, with peach cobbler, red velvet cake, lemon cake and sweet potato pie often on the menu. A ten dollar outlay guarantees you a hearty fill up at lunch or dinner, and breakfast is even easier on the budget.
