What User doesn't like about John Boys:
Several of us just ordered the shrimp basket for takeout at $14.00 per basket. It was supposed to be 21 shrimp with fries. The shrimp were not even the size of popcorn shrimp and were overdone. Since the shrimp were so small and overdone it was basically little balls of overdone batter with mushy fries. This meal was terrible and not even worth half this price. View all feedback.

Place is open around the clock, which was brilliant, but we showed at 1 o'clock and was quickly waited and had a very friendly waitress.

I recommend the onion... View all feedback.

I popped in late one evening when I was visiting Alpena. I appreciated the late opening hours on the weekend. The country fried steak breakfast was really good.
