There are so many reasons why you should stop in at Johnny’s Victory Diner, I had to do a whole newsletter about everything they’re doing!  
 

 

Big News!!!  BBQ Opening day is May 19. Johnny’s was voted “Best BBQ Restaurant in Rhode Island” by Food and Wine magazine in 2020. The Pitmaster learned from the best – really!!! Johnny was trained in the art of barbecue in Georgia by celebrity chef Myron Mixon, a four-time barbecue World Champion.  

 

The barbecue is ready to go!
 

 

The food is all scratch made and delicious. And the menu is so creative. They are constantly changing their menu so there is always something new to try. 

 

Breakfast – you can choose from eggs, omelets, homemade pancakes, French toast, breakfast “sammies”, eggs “benny”, waffles, crepes, oatmeal, muffins, bagels, hash browns and specials such as the "Holy Grail" (pictured) and more!  
 

 

 

 



 

Boozy Brunch – Plan on brunch on Sundays from 7 am to 1 pm for some great specials and drinks.
