You can't go to Door County without visiting Al Johnson's. The meatballs were better seasoned and more dense than in times past. Swedish pancakes are delicious!
We got the best seat in the house. Right in the corner so my husband could people watch. Love the uniforms the waitresses have to wear. Makes it very authentic. :)
With as touristy as it is, you’d expect mediocre food, but it really is tasty. Swedish pancakes and pickledherring are great. Sewing meatballs are just okay. Lingonberry lemonade is a must try
Swedish breakfast (pancakes, meatballs, and eggs) is delicious and filling enough to get home to Chicago without stopping for lunch if you time it right!
20-25 minute wait for us, but shortly after was over an hour-popular place. Put your name on the list and they announce it over speaker. Swedish pancakes and lingonberries were fantastic.
Been here many times & never disappointed. Swedish pancakes & meatballs are my favorite. Must arrive before 8:00 am during busy seasons to avoid long wait.
We went during the off season and it was full of locals but no wait time. You can tell the staff loves their regulars and our waiter could not have been nicer.
Al Johnson's is unique, a step back in time to great food and fast service. Enjoy dining in the warmth of a Scandinavian log building with, yes, a sod roof.
