By blending a bit of the old with the new, Owner Shannon Gober has transformed the Birmingham landmark John’s Restaurant into the new and improved John’s City Diner. While the restaurant still maintains much of the charm from the past, the decor and menu have undergone a facelift to meet the needs of the increasingly food savvy Birmingham public. The menu at John’s City Diner features a wide range of flavors from Southern comfort food to Asian inspired dishes.
