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.

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 pickled herring are great. Sewing meatballs are just okay. Lingonberry lemonade is a must try
Love it! Friendly bartenders drink prices reasonable and love being outside! They have different games to play also!
Swedish breakfast with goats on the grass roof . Sadly didn’t eat here as it had a 3-hour wait, but thoroughly enjoyed the butik (boutique ) next door.
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!
Everything!
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.
Swedish comfort food at its best. Get the meatballs at least once. Great place to stop for a warm meal during winter.
Pickled Herring is fantastic. They pickle it on site. Very good portions good service and an excellent place to eat
Goats hang out on the sod roof ! Great food and a cool little shop too!
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 .
Swedish pancakes with lingonberries ! Swedish meatballs ! Well worth the 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.
Unique dining experience. Missed seeing the goats on the sod roof . Incredible swedish pancakes and meatballs .
The "goats on the roof" place. Wonderful breakfast , get there early or it will be at least an hour wait.
Very authentic , good food, a little pricey for breakfast but not out of line with others in a resort community.
