2021 Navigator: Johnny B. Goods Diner owners look far beyond bottom line for success
It was Oct. 1, 1993, when Mike and Kathy Diemer started ripping out the inside of an old building near the corner of Eighth Street and Lincoln Avenue in downtown Steamboat Springs.
Just days later, Mike’s brother David would go missing in action in Somalia as part of the Battle of Mogadishu, also known as the Black Hawk Down incident. They worried while he was missing for 30 hours.
It put everything in perspective for us,” Mike said. “After that, things were a little easier. You’re out of onion rings, no big deal. We’ll survive.”

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — It might be hard to image main street Steamboat Springs without Johnny B. Good’s, but thanks to the determination shown by Mike and Kathy Diemer 25 years ago, the diner has become one of downtown’s most popular stop for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
“We are blessed to have a business and a building on main street,” said Mike Diemer, who opened the business in 1994 with Kathy and the Laidig family. “This isn’t like Carthage, Missou- ri or Newburgh, New York. The opportunity to own a business on main street in this town is some- thing that does not come around a lot. You will do whatever it takes to make it work.”
For the Diemers, whatever it took meant sinking labor and money into renovating the space at 738 Lincoln Ave., which has been home to a bakery, The Roy- al Shaft and The Sidestep since the space rst opened in 1914.
“When we were bar tending at the Sheraton tons of people with their kids would come up and be like, ‘Where can we take our kids to eat,’” Kathy said. “Our goal was to open a family place, more so than a 50s diner.”

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."
