John's Restaurant & Pizzeria — Restaurant in Rockford Township

I highly recommend Johns Restaurant

The food is wonderful, I love the pizza (my brother always orders some fish thing for his plate that is really good too). The place feels nice and welcoming too, making for a pleasant spot to have dinner with friends and family and hold conversations. In a prior experience, I even got to talk to the owner who was quite nice and seems to delight in talking to customers.

This experience though, our waitress Maggie was exceptional. Best waitress anyone at the table had had in our collective lives. Always seemed to be there when we needed her and never disturbed us when we didn't. Further, she was very good at anticipating our needs and either already being on the ball, or being right there and asking us if we needed it before we even needed to ask. Most times in my life, when I have gotten a pitcher of soda to share between my siblings and I, it'll be refilled maybe once in the experience. Maggie was on top of it and refilled it probably 5 times tonight! Wonderful! Maggie, if you read this, THANK YOU.

As for the picture I included, I did that because I found it highly amusing and was near the table. Sorry for not including a picture of the food. I really do...

I went with my son for the 1st time and waited patiently for the waitress. The place overall gave a good vip and it wasn’t too busy when I went plenty of tables to sit at and after waiting for almost 30 the waitress finally acknowledged us for some drinks. The manager noticed and gave us a free Appetizer and 50 percent off on our order. I guess accidents happen. I came back to John’s Restaurant today with my wife and my son they sat us down and we waited patiently again. The place wasn’t crowded and after looking at the menu and a very nice man walking around talking to people came to our table and asked my son what he wanted to eat today and my son responded and I also spoke to him telling him my son was very excited on coming back to this place and after waiting and waiting with no one attending us we just got up and left. I just can’t believe that this happened all over again!! I mean I really don’t know why this keeps on happening to me maybe because I was the only Hispanic family there. I will never go there again! I just went ahead and went to Marciano’s pizza on Harrison. They have good pizza and...

My husband Kelly and I went there 7 30. We used the Google reservation function and we were taken to our table. This was our first time there. We like to Patronize local establishments. We will definitely be back. Our server was Rachel and she was awesome. She interacted with my husband, and it made our evening even better. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. One thing we noticed it definitely has a family.atmosphere. there wasn't hostility amongst the staff. Sometimes in the hospitality world, things can get stressed, if they were it didn't show. I would highly recommend this establishment.

Update.

I went back with my husband for a husband appreciation dinner. Yesterday 7/5/2025. Our server was Tanya. The food was impeccable as always. Tanya is a phenomenal server. She was bringing drink refills right as my husband was finishing his Jalapeño poppers. She was attenuation and cares that her patrons have a great meal. I would encourage everyone to support this great restaurant. I love supporting...
