Best Of The Boat
If your kid has a hunger for artistry fame as well as food, head to Johnny B. Good's Diner, where crayon-colored place mats get hung up on the wall for all patrons to see.
This family friendliness is exactly what owner Mike Diemer envisioned when he started the downtown diner in 1994 after moving to Steamboat from New York. "We built the diner on taking care of kids and giving them the respect they deserve. Kids can be kids here."
Well-fed ones at that, Johnny's children's menu includes hot dogs, grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese and its best-selling Haley Burger. For breakfast, selections include the mini cheese omelet, mini day starter (eggs, meat, browns and toast) and Mickey pancakes.
And it's all in an atmosphere that feels like home, "The families who come here are all our sons - Jack 5 and Charlie 2 contribute regularly to the art wall. "So it's not really ilk work at all."
