on Citysearch Dec 18, 2008When you arrive at Al Johnson's restaurant you definitely feel as though you have stepped back in time. Goats on the roof are the first attraction. The goats actually live on the roof grazing on the real grass. The... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 03, 2008No matter what anyone says, see Al Johnson's. It has been a part of Door County forever. The decor is old, the menu is not all Swedish food, the waiters speak some English, and during the summer season the wait may be... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 23, 2008I love the atmosphere here, and the food is great. They have a Swedish sampler platter which I highly recommend. Of course, the highlight of any visit here is to see those nimble footed little goats grazing on the roof.... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 06, 2006My husband and I went to the Door for our honeymoon last week and went to Al Johnsons on a recommendation. First, the interior was outdated and ugly. I get the swedish thing but this was bad, very tacky. The menu was... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 02, 2006Strawberries with your Swedish pancakes? Huh? Complimentary lingonberries for the table that are not fresh from the jar but stale from a giant bucket that sits out night after night. I've had better lingonberries... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 06, 2006We usually go up to Door County at least once a year. And there is no way we can go home without eating at least one meal (usually breakfast) at Al Johnson's. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Its decor... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 04, 2005Everyone was talking about how special Al Johnsons is. I thought the goats on the roof were unique. The food wasn't that great. It was way overpriced. And my server didn't know english. It was very hard to enjoy when... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 01, 2005Al Jonson's, i've found, was highly over rated. The surroundings of Al Johnson's and its goats on the roof, were the only special things besides the Swedish Pancakes. The menu was priced to "Door County" standards... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 25, 2004I live around 20 miles away, so when i go to visit my grandma we occasionally go to Al's. It's such a great atmosphere, and being from Swedish roots myself, I think it's wonderful! It's so popular though, that there's a... (more)

on Citysearch May 18, 2004<b>The Scene</b><br>Al Johnson's scores big points for atmosphere. Where else in the world can you eat in a log cabin where goats perch on the sod roof above munching grass? It's quite a sight, and it's made this place... (more)
