CASH ONLY * My travel companion and I enjoyed our lunch at John's very much. We were not aware that it was cash only, so glad we had cash on us. I had the quiche and home style potatoes, and my friend had the breakfast platter with eggs, bacon, and pancakes (so fluffy!) with an extra side of home style potatoes because we didn't want to share...they were that good! The coffee was good and strong, and the waitress took great care of us. Soup is not available in the summer. The location was clean and busy, and the prices were reasonable. Worth a stop in.

I came here for breakfast twice during my stay in Montauk and I really liked the food and service. The staff is friendly and the food comes out fast. Also, they make a very good cup of coffee. The place overall looks a bit old fashioned as opposed to their competition across the street. They really give a lot for your money and the prices are very reasonable. Be forewarned that this place is cash only. I will definitely come back the next time I visit Montauk.

We had breakfast at John’s Pancake House. IHOP, it isn’t! Fresh food, wonder servers and pleasant calm dining experience. This is what home town diners should feel like. Two thumbs up!

This was the better of the two Pancake house on main street. There is also Anthonys pancake house which we did not care too much for especially its horrible coffee. Johns pancake were great huge portions with eggs and bacon or saugage. This is a normal mom and pops type diner with great comfort food.

Good American experience. You will get your full breakfast/brunch based on a menu with pancakes options, eggs and crepes, all joined by coffee and a typical Montauk's vibe. It's in downtown, we parked on the door, there was a short queue but in fact were eating after 5 minutes waiting

Atmosphere, yes. Cool hostess, either owner maybe, yes. Spinach & feta omelette, and my rye toast w/butter, yes. My friends steak & eggs, yes. Service, good. Home potatoes, awful and literally cold when they hit the table. So come and enjoy, just don’t get the home potatoes. Ate before I remembered to take photo, all that’s left is the potatoes. 🤪

Good corned beef hash. Very laid back. Nice staff. Advertised GF waffles online, in the window, and on the Specials board inside. The server had no idea what we were talking about. She asked the coik and we were told, "maybe tomorrow." Disappointing.

Unpretentious, solid breakfast and lunch spot. Very fast service. Solid menu with an array of choices that will satisfy the entire family. Prices are generally reasonable. Cash only. Good seating options with plenty of booths and counter service. Nice light filled room with a nautical theme.

Irish omelette was a bit greasy, coffee was good. Service was on par but not so sure a basic cup of coffee should cost $5. I get it that everyone deserves to make a living and the charm of montauk is in these establishments that have existed forever. But perhaps they need to renovate the seats held together with duct tape if they’re charging high end prices.

I visited John’s Pancake House about a year ago, so I decided to come back this time after watching the sunrise. Unfortunately, it was a big disappointment compared to my first visit. There were two female servers, but neither of them ever checked on us. no one asked if we needed more coffee or if the food was okay. It felt like we were completely ignored. On top of that, when paying by card, they charged an extra fee without saying anything. We could have paid cash if they had told us. And to make it worse, at the end they told us the tip wasn’t included and asked us to leave cash for it, even though we didn’t receive any real service.
