Directions
No one does breakfast quite like this quasi-cafeteria-style diner where the bacon-and-egg sandwiches are always greasy, the coffee's always hot, and the waitstaff is non-existent because of the order-wait-and-pick-up style of service. Johnny's has been a fixture in Aurora's Korea-town for years, its popularity buoyed by cheap blue-plate specials, generous portions, decent food, better company and bizarro-Americana decor.
