Other Highlights:
- Jazz Brunch every Saturday & Sunday from 8:30am until 2:30pm. Live jazz & great food. A Johnny D’s tradition!
- Blues Jam every Sunday from 4:30PM until 8:00PM. Sit in with our house band, Monster Mike Welch with The Hoodoo Men, or sit out and enjoy the music. One of Boston’s longest running blues jams!
- Johnny D’s is very happy to offer healthy choices. We try hard to make decisions on products and practices that have long term positive effects. With this in mind, you will find 100% grass fed beef, free range chicken, cage free eggs, organic ft coffee (look for our coffee grinds for your use during the growing season) and no high fructose corn syrup ketchup. No shortage of vegetarian items either, with a dedicated fryer for those fried vegetarian dishes, while avoiding partially hydrogenated oils in 99% of our offered items.
- We take advantage of our great city’s recycling program and are adding more and more LED lights to our place. Please consider us your good neighbor, and although far from perfect, there is no shortage of effort.
