Our Story

Since 1994

In 1994, John's Place opened in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. Founded on the premise that local tastes better, we quickly became a neighborhood favorite. Later, we opened our Roscoe Village location and have been in love ever since.

Whether you come for lunch, dinner or weekend brunch, you are sure to get a great meal served in a friendly, relaxed setting. In the summertime, soak up the sun on our lovely sidewalk café. In the colder months, let our hearty comfort foods warm you up. 

In any season, John’s Place strives to satisfy with our honest food and welcoming atmosphere.
