Johnny's

This place is absolutely wonderful. I particularly love that they change their menus often and always have options for all dietary restrictions and they are tucked away in a tree-lined street. Helen and all of the staff is always kind and knowledgeable on menu preferences. If I could add one thing to Johnny's, that would be for them to bring the flowers and farmer's market back. It was a huge hit and highlight for patrons in the past and I truly miss it.

Lovely outdoor seating - service was awesome. Food was 50/50 … corn soup was great. Veggies on the hummus tray weren’t on par

I came here for a business meeting at 7:30PM. The host Liz was awesome and she was so nice that she came back and checked on us. Our host was super cute and I loved her glasses although I had no idea of her name. Sorry!! Food was 90/100 and atmosphere was fine. I would rather sit by windows. I smelled like a big French fries when I came out. Overall, I loved it. I will come back. But will stay away from certain areas.

Johnny's is a quiet and cozy spot nestled in a historic north Baltimore location. The staff was friendly and accommodating. They were decorating for the Christmas holiday, which added to the warm atmosphere. You can have a seat at one of two bars or grab a table. The food was delicious! We ordered fried oysters and muscles to start. All cooked to perfection. I ordered an Angus burger medium rare with a fried egg and Johnny's in-house cole slaw on the side. The slaw was fresh and crispy. It was flavorful with just the right amount of sauce. The burger got a bit sloppy towards the end, but most really good burgers do. My wife had the salmon, which she really enjoyed. The prices were reasonable as well. All in all, our time and money was well spent, and we'll be back in the future.

This was my first experience. I went with my sister and two friends. The atmosphere was lovely, but it was so dimly lit in there. You can barely see the menus. I think they were going for intimate type vibe but just a little bit more light would’ve been nice. What yall hiding in there 👀? Just kidding. Anyways, our servers were awesome though and we even had other servers check in on us and give us recommendations. We went for restaurant week. I put a picture below of the deal. The cocktail of the mouth was really good. It was a captain Morgan based drink. The calamari was disappointing. It was called crispy calamari, but was not crispy at all. The short rib was good and so was the blueberry cheesecake. I have to say I was a little disappointed with the proportions. I get that it is restaurant week, but it felt like the proportions were kid sized. Overall, we did enjoy ourselves and I would go back again to try the food outside of restaurant week.

Went here with my wife and daughter. The atmosphere was very good. We ate outside. I had the fish sandwich and my wife had the friend rice. We also had the fried green tomatoes and hummus as appetizers. The appetizers were very good. Our entrees were good quality, but I probably wouldn't order again, but id like to go back and try some of the other items, especially the burger it seemed to be a restaurant favorite. The service wasnt the best, or what I thought it would be a such a nice place, but id still go back to give it another try.

We have been a few times at Johnny’s for dinner and it is always a good experience. We started off with the guacomole appetizer. It was tasty but we would have preferred a different kind of corn chips, lighter and fresher. We then ordered the fish and chips and fried rice with bacon. We were able to substitute coleslaw for the chips. For dessert, we shared a slice of the carrot cake.i needed to ask for another expresso cafe because the first one was lukewarm. The second cup was fine. I was also surprised that my expresso was $6.00 - that’s too much money! Overall, we like the menu selection and plan on returning soon.

Fantastic experience today at Johnny's... my first time visiting and it was delightful. It has such a sweet charm to it... cute location, welcoming staff, clean appearance, bathrooms were beautiful and most importantly- CLEAN. Our server was fantastic and attentive. Crab soup and ceviche - DELICIOUS. I will definitely be back 🙂🙂

I have been here on numerous occasions, I honestly thought I have wrote a review. Johnny's never disappoints me. Stopped in last night with a work colleague for dinner. We were hankering some really good seafood. Started with their shrimp ceviche, always a fan fave. Love their tortilla chips and the jicama is a nice touch. Always fresh. For dinner we each did seafood entrees, I had the grilled swordfish tostadas. Omg, so delicious. It comes on a bed of delicious black beans that were so flavorful. The swordfish was really flaky and poblano slaw nice and crunchy and fresh. My work colleague had the pan seared salmon with zucchini noodles and gochujang cream. That dish was delicious too. My colleague preferred my dish because she favors for tangy and citrusy flavors. Me personally both of these dishes met the mark and I would definitely get them again. Our server Glenn was really nice and attentive, also suggested great wine parings as well. The cookie of the month was the creamsicle cookie. It was not too bad, not too sweet. The peanut butter cookie is always my fave here, hands down. Overall, you cannot go wrong with Johnny's , whether you dine in for lunch, dinner or brunch. It's just that good. They also have a nice little happy hour as well. So if your ever in Roland Park, just stop in, you cannot go wrong SYOY

Don't bother. I have been here 6 times now. I love the location! I want to LOVE this place so badly but they make it super hard. Monday night, not crowded. Reservation for 8 people. Seated at a table for 6, with one chair added making it 7. I was early to be sure all was ready, so went back to the hostess and explained we were 8ppl. She looked at the table and asked what the problem was? I said there are 7 seats. Hostess: What would you like me to do? Me: I would like a seat for each guest. Hostess: Oh you want another place setting? Me: Yes, and a seat. I should have left then. 22 empty seats next to us, plenty of outdoor seating, and they had us crammed into a corner...expecting 8 adults to sit at a 6 top, with an added chair. Tell me you don't give a darn about our experience before it even begins. So she shoved an extra place setting on, and walks off. Me: And a chair, please. Hostess: That side is a booth, they can squish in. WTAF. I was 15 min early so I decided to order a drink. 5:45. At 6:06 I went to the bar and asked if the pink drink that had been sitting there for 10 minutes might be mine. The bartender said she was looking for lychees and when they located more she would bring it to me. We now call this the 30 minute cocktail. So everyone arrives and one of my guests is literally sitting with the corner of the table shoved in her tummy and no where to put a plate. I don't know these people very well and am so embarrassed. She says it's fine and I'm like it's absolutely not fine to not have an actual seat at the table. So up I go again and a large gentleman in a Hawaiian shirt who I assumed was the manager intercepts me and asks if all is ok? Me: I would like a seat for all 8 of us. Him: I don't understand. Me: see the woman sitting between tables removed from the group? We would like her to be included at the table. Him: let me get the hostess. Me: The hostess feels this is acceptable. Him: Well it's her job and decision. I just stood there incredulous. Hostess: what seems to be the issue...NOW? So at this point I am sure I am being filmed for a comedy skit. I giggle, look around...she starts to walk away. Me: Wait, seriously...the woman without a seat...sitting between the two tables, can we get her a seat with us. Hostess: How would you like me to do this? Are you asking to combine these two tables? Me: No we don't need 18 seats for 8 ppl. Hostess: So not sure what you want? So our party asks if we may move the table off the wall and add a chair? Hostess: Sure. Walks away. I took the seat squished in at the wall with a metal wheel in my head the whole evening. Every time the waiter interacted with me he looked at my hair in the wheel and just tried to act like it was normal. He kept losing focus, and I felt like saying...You can say what we are all thinking...WTAF!!! It makes me sad that there is so little critical thinking left in the world. I was a hostess and at 22 years old I could count to 8, and I could also see when guests were unhappy, uncomfortable or needed adjusting. They didn't even have to ask...our job was to get them seated and content before we turned them over to the waiters. But to pull this kind of BS when it's not crowded and I even took the time in the notes to ask for a round or oval table so we could all interact...like why ask guests about their needs if you don't care? "Welcome! We don't have round tables but we have a lovely table for 8 here, we hope this works for you?" Instead a table for 6 in the corner. SMH. Maybe the big guy in the Hawaiian shirt who asked me if everything was okay wasn't the manager because he just sat at the bar eating and texting for two hours, periodically answering questions. Maybe he is like the character Norm from cheers? The food has been excellent, which is why we go back. But last night it was not. The appetizer came and looked like someone ate half on the way to the table...see photos. And every single order had an issue. Like burger no tomatoes, had three tomatoes. Soup was cold...that kind of thing. We sent nothing back and didn't complain at all. Made the best of our company and rejoiced we were permitted to all sit at the same damn table, even tho we were squished and uncomfortable. (Noticed another review mentioned not being able to sit in the cozy side...I gave up on that long ago, only for locals with a bat line I guess ;-) If you walk in they tell you it's for reservations. If you have a reservation they just tell you no.)

I never knew this place existed. This is a neighborhood restaurant in an affluent neighborhood. I was invited by a family for my nephew birthday for party of 12. The food was good. The wait staff were on point. There is a small parking lot in the front of the restaurant. The interior feels really cozy and quaint. You can definitely miss this place easily per the GPS. Will like to return.

Just stopped in for a quick drink while waiting on my daughter!! Happy hour 4:30 to 6 pm Monday through Friday!! $5 glasses of wine and cocktail of the day!! Didn't look at the food menu since I wasn't eating but will definitely return for the friendly service and delicious red Tempranillo!

A neighborhood gem that nails seafood and brunch. The smoked salmon bagel was piled high with fish, capers, and cream cheese -- simple but spot on. For dinner, the crab cakes were meaty with almost no filler. The atmosphere is cozy without being cramped, and service is consistently solid. It's the kind of place locals love because it always delivers.

It was our first time at Johnny's and we were pleasantly surprised. When we walked in we were greeted and the staff were friendly. We decided to sit at the bar and have drink before dinner. The bar tender was very friendly and attentive. We ended up eating our dinner at the bar. For our appetizers we had the empanadas and the chicken soup which were both delicious. For dinner we had the halibut and a burger which were both excellent. I will definitely come back to Johnny's.

Went to brunch on New Year's Day with a bigger group- Its sort of an underground spot with bricklaid walls. Can get a bit louder at times. our server was attentive considering the size of our group and made great recommendations.loved my garden cocktail with gin and cucumber. The complimentary bread had this delicious almond-y flavor. I had a crab bisque that tasted mainly of old bay and was a bit overpriced for the size received but I did enjoy it nonetheless. My turkey burger was a bit dry but still flavorful. Unexpected star was the show was the brunch fried rice which was delicious! I'd go back.

Service , Drinks, Food ,... Love the outdoor dining area . One of our favorite places to visit when we need a place to unwind from the hectic way of life !

This place is lights out. I come to Baltimore 3 to 4 times a year to see my godmother. She's been coming here for years and the food's outstanding and it's just an amazing location. The real kicker is the cookies. That and burger night on Tuesdays this is great food, an amazing atmosphere and the people are awesome. Highlyrecommended.

sadly wasn't that impressed with my recent visit to johnnys. got there at 620 for a 630 reservation on a saturday night. seated closer to 645 and there were many other parties waiting for their tables too. within 1 min a server brought over food that we had not ordered. you do not have one assigned server, so i felt there was somewhat of a disconnect in communication throughout the night. the tempura cauliflower lacked presentation entirely. the shrimp tacos were good but could not even be eaten as tacos because the tortillas were sopping wet and broke immediately when picked up. the fish and chips were tasty. nice that they make everything in house (sauces and all). the mocha cookie was a highlight for sure. the restaurant has a dark, low-ceiling, cozy vibe. it can get very loud when it's crowded. there is limited parking at the restaurant itself but there is nearby street parking too. i would come back but i hope my next experience is a bit better!

I visited Johnny's for the first time recently and really enjoyed it. It was lunch, so I just got a soup and the old bay chips and I was very pleased. We had good service and the place was quiet (we had an early lunch). They have a display of cookies which I would love to try next time I go.

Where We Bout To Eat At It's been a minute since I've been to @johnnysbmore and I think it's time for me to head that way!!! Customer service is great, the vibe is chill, and the food...AMAZING! Check out their daily specials including, Meatball Mondays, 1/2 price burgers on Tuesdays, and nightly happy hour! #baltimorerestaurants #baltimoreseafood #baltimoreburgers #baltimorefoodspecials #baltimorehappyhour #explorevaltimore #baltimorefoodblogger #visitbaltimore #itsdgl #danigirlliving #boujiebudgetblogger #yelpbaltimore #yelpelite

Great spot for a casual lunch with a friend. I had a Caesar salad with shrimp. It was delicious, however I thought that $9 for 3 large shrimp (not jumbo) was a bit much, but also I expect a higher price at a Foreman property because I do expect perfection. It was perfectly dressed and I was very satisfied. My buddy got the burger and said it was absolutely delicious. So, a win-win for our table!

Came back to Johnys with the family. It was restaurant week and my wife got the restaurant week menu. Peach salad appetizer, bronzino entree and peach cobbler dessert. I had the burger with the bacon and egg, one kid had the fried chicken sandwich and the other two had kids buttered pasta with fries. The burger is very good, as always. Ask for extra old bay aioli which adds to deliciousness. The fries are always good. The peach salad was very good. The bronzino was good but didn't blow me away and the peach cobbler was okay but not great. Johnys continues to be a reliable place and if you go early enough the food comes out quickly.

Half priced burger nights on Tuesday is a good time!!They have a variety of burgers, including turkey burgers. I love their fries!! But you can also get fruit or salad if you are watching your calorie intake. They also have other daily specials, including 1/2 priced whiskey nights!

I had the pan-seared salmon w/broccolini. The food was great and there was a sauce that brought it all together pretty well. The service could be more attentive. I had to get a waiter to ask for napkins and a drink. The same when we wanted to pay the check. I love the ambiance of the place. It has a french country appeal. It reminds me of what you would find at Martha's Vineyard.

Just came back from brunch at Johnny's and our party of 4 enjoy the food, presentation and our servers. The Heirloom Tomato Salad with cucumbers and feta with lemon vinaigrette was very tasty and the smoked salmon plate was spot on. What I noticed was the staff were all pleasant and enjoyed their jobs and it really was evident and that speaks a lot about the management. Thanks Johnny's for a enjoyable afternoon brunch. Cheers

Frequently eat at Johnny's. Service absolutely terrible this evening. Waited a long time for the appetizer salad. No big deal. Then after about 45 min no entrees. Asked about it. Server said order was not in kitchen and they would get right on it. Another 20 min. "Manager" comes over said kitchen was just backed up and there was no issue and was to be expected. Complete gaslighting and BS since other diners arrived after us and actually left before we got our food. Problem here is they did not admit there was an issue with the service and actually acted like it was just too busy. It was ridiculous explanation given everyone around us was served and eating and arrived after us. No attempt to remove the delayed entree from the bill. Offered free cookie but that was hardly what was needed. What was needed was to explain they screwed up and not get defensive and gaslight us. We have been eating at all the Tony Foreman restaurants for years. Definitely a major disappointment. Expect much better. The "manager" thin tall guy (nasal piercings) said he was 1/4 managers when I asked to speak to a manager about the service. Hardly helpful and actually rude. Doubt will be returning or recommending Johnny's anytime soon. Too bad since entirely avoidable outcome. A little customer service goes a long way. Definitely not = to Petit Louis (in terms of service) which is right next store. We actually left a full 20% tip despite the fact they most certainly did not earn it.

Yikes! Last time we went to Johnny's, food not so great. The few times before that the food was plenty good. I wanted to try the fish tacos again, because so good the first time...but second time, vinegary and flavorless. I really love the spot. Am hoping for ongoing consistency with the food, and that last time was an anomaly.

We were so happy with every aspect of our experience. I was apprehensive after reading some of the reviews but it was walking distance from our hotel so we went for it. Originally from Baltimore, when I'm in town, I want local dishes and I was lucky enough that soft shell crabs were a special. Our service was attentive and the atmosphere was a nice switch from the loud that defines Miami, where we live.

Think classic American with a southern twist. Quality food and variety, perfect for a night out after work or happy hour. The service is always top notch and the ambiance is set in a cozy dark speakeasy vibes. I've had the BLT, fish and chips, Cobb salad, crab bisque, black bean burger, ceviche, and salmon - and all were great and never disappointed! Great location (Roland Park).

I really wanted to like this place. It should be a great neighborhood restaurant in a high-end residential area. But... The seating was cramped, the service was uneven (we seem to have multiple servers over the course of the evening and they even tried to argue with us when they brought a dessert that it already been served) and the food was meh. One in our party was a vegetarian, but nothing on the menu indicated whether a food included meat products or not. In fact, one of the seeming perfect options was a soup that by its description should have been vegetarian actually included a meat-based stock. We all ordered varieties of salads some with meat and some without. The food was quite frankly bland. My salad had great ingredients but could have used a little salt or balsamic vinegar or something to add flavor and depth to the overall composition. The prices were not outrageous or unexpected, but there are definitely better nearby restaurants where I'll be spending those dollars. where I'll be spending those dollars.

My friend made a reservation for 4 people and was seated for brunch. I opted for the full stack pancakes and my husband got the omelette that came with a citrus salad. We had the shrimp cocktail that came with a salsa versus a traditional cocktail sauce. The chips that it came with were pretty good as well. The full stack pancakes were so pleasant and delicious to eat. The waiter was attentive and refreshed our beverages and condiments. My husband's omelette was also fairly savory and delicious as the Canadian bacon and potatoes paired well. The atmosphere felt intimate and there was ample parking around the restaurant.

Have been searching for the perfect weekend lunch spot in Bmore and I finally found it! It's truly shocking how small the lunch scene in Baltimore is, and while I love brunch, sometimes I am more in the mood for lunch items--and the perfect thing about Johnny's is their extensive weekend brunch menu! Offering brunch classics like eggs benedict, French toast and pancakes alongside interesting southwestern twists like chilaquiles, breakfast quesadillas, and fried rice on the same menu as lunch classics (various soups, salads, and sandwiches), Johnny's is the perfect place where everyone in your group can find something tasty! I also really liked the couch seating--it was super comfy and made for an intimate dining setting. The food was delicious!!! I can't wait to come back again!

My Solid go to neighborhood restaurant for American fair... Tuesday burger night is always my favorite but I always make up for the low cost meal with two of their signature. Cocktails. Great service great food great atmosphere cheers.

Finally made my way over to Johnny's last week for Happy Hour. It was a Friday evening around 5:00pm and the place was packed! When you enter, you'll see the host stand in front of you, a bright airy bar to the right, and a darker moody bar with lots of booths to the left. There's free parking in the lot in front but it can get full pretty quickly. On this particular day, the bar on the right was completely full. I asked the hostess if I could sit at the bar on the left (the dark and moody one) and she said it wasn't going to be open until 5:30pm. I thought this was a little odd since there were clearly people sitting at that bar. She said she'd grab me a table to which I replied "I'm only here for drinks and don't want to take up a table for someone who may want to dine-in." After all, part of the fun of a Happy Hour is sitting at a bar with fellow patrons and chatting it up with the bartender, right? Before she could respond, she turned around and answered the phone. While she was on the phone, a server walked past and asked if I had been helped yet. I let him know I was just there for drinks and wanted a seat at the bar. And he said, "oh! There's seat over at the bar to the left"... strange since the hostess just said that bar was closed until 5:30pm. Nonetheless, I took him up on his offer and grabbed a stool at the dark and moody bar. The bartender was very attentive and gave me plenty of recommendations. I was feeling super indecisive but finally landed on their version of a French 75 which was served with fennel. It was super citrusy, refreshing, and delicious. The bar snack of the night was three fried oysters for $5 - not a bad deal! I didn't order any for myself but the folks next to me did and they seemed to enjoy them. Overall, I would return to this spot again for Happy Hour and some small bites to eat. The neighborhood is super cute too and I love walking up Roland Avenue to look at the gorgeous victorian homes. I'm knocking one star off just because of the weird communication from the hostess when I first arrived. Other than that, everything else was great!

Went out to dinner at Johnnys last night, I've only been one time prior and that was years ago. Ended up sitting at the bar in the dining room area as the hostess told us there were no tables available due to reservations (we got there @5:15 before the dinner rush). No problem, off to the bar. What' prompted me to write this review was not the quality of food, (the burger and salads were great!) it was the bartender that served us. I don't drink alcohol, nor have I for quite some time. I don't seek out bar seating unless it's the only option and I understand some bartenders will not "make" as much off checks that don't include alcohol. His sense of humor was borderline disrespectful and his lack of interest regarding drink refills was poor. He made a joke to the tune, and I quote "when are you deploying" I asked him what he was talking about and he replied with "you're eating so much, when are you going to the war". I would not recommend his service to anyone quite honestly, but his behavior seems to be something others find charming. I did not find his humor charming, it was odd and inappropriate.

Johnny's is a fabulous place for a burger and a beer in Roland Park. We came here for a May graduation party and enjoyed a fabulous lunch. I had one of the best burgers I have had this year. It had an egg and everything. The service was excellent and added to the experience. The ambience was dark and pub-like. I cannot wait to come back.

Visited here with family. It is a local spot they visit a lot! The food was great! We enjoyed The fried oysters my husband ordered a turkey burger and I tried the brisket! Everything was great! And the dipping sauce was amazing! You must try the old bay aïoli! I also order a Johnny dream sickle drink and A French 75 - both were great!

We've been to Johnny's a couple times for dinner and it's always a great experience. We started with the guacamole appetizer. It was delicious, but we preferred a different kind of nachos that were lighter and fresher. Then we ordered fish and chips and bacon fried rice. Instead of fries, we could have had coleslaw. For dessert, we shared a slice of carrot cake. I need to go to another espresso store as the first one was not cold. The second cup wasn't bad. I was also surprised that my espresso was $6.00 - that's a lot of money! Overall, we liked the menu choices and plan to return soon.

Had a great night at Johnnys. Friendly staff and great aesthetic. Things we recommend are; chicken tortilla soup, honey sriracha cauliflower, the burger, and the ginger molasses cookie (yum!). Things that I wouldn't order again: Mac and cheese (very bland and watery) and buckwheat chocolate chip cookie (very dry).

7 of us stopped in for dinner this past Saturday after a family event in the neighborhood. As you would expect on a Saturday night, they were very busy. We were warmly greeted and quickly seated. Some of us had the restaurant week offerings and some ordered from the regular menu. Everyone was happy with their choice. My meal was particularly delicious. I ordered the short ribs over mashed and it was outstanding. Our service could not have been better. All in all, we had another wonderful dining experience at Johnny's.

We came here around 330 for a late lunch. We sat for about 10 minutes before we were greeted for drink orders. We asked to put in our appetizers at the same time and the server said that we would have to wait because she didn't have her pad with her. To put apps in took another 10 minutes. Then we didn't see our server for another 20 minutes to place food in. We got our food an hour after being seated. The server said, "sorry you caught us during our break time" ... the restaurant is open so not sure what that is about. The crab bisque was lukewarm. The food was okay. While it could be that we're annoyed by how long it took, I am disappointed.

Johnny's is adequate. It's a nice environment (but some areas are a bit loud), the food is good, nice drink selection. It's just not memorable. If you're in the area, it will do you just fine, but not worth a special trip. We got the spinach salad - totally fine, goat cheese is great. I got the braised short rib - it was a bit too fatty but the whole dish was cohesive and I ate 90% (minus some inedible fat). I will say you should get the cookies for dessert no matter what you do, and I rarely get dessert! Although I don't love Johnny's, it's a comfortable space that I do go to occasionally, just never blown away. The staff is nice and attentive. It's on par with Mount Washington Tavern or Valley Inn. I'd love to see a menu revamp sometime!

Johnny's is a consistently reliable spot for a cozy dinner or brunch. Their new American menu is pretty creative and their fries are to die for! I also love their half priced burger nights. We loved their Honey Sriracha Cauliflower Wings! But oh my goodness my sandwich - the BLT with AVOCADO. What a winner. The bread was so delicious and tasted fresh the next day too because i definitely had leftovers. SAVE ROOM FOR THE COOKIES! Wow they are the cherry on top. Their selection changes weekly and your best bet is to get a box and split it with the table. Love Johnnys and will definitely be back!

Best thing about the experience: the burger- delicious and cooked to perfection (medium rare, and very tasty) We got there ten minutes after opening couldn't sit on the "cozy side" (on the left ) because we were told all the seats were reserved; when we left less than an hour later only three of the tables were filled with patrons. We then chose to sit at the bar, and the bar top didn't seem very clean for only been open ten minutes. Atmosphere was a bit diner-like on this side. Ordered the shrimp cocktail and the shrimp tasted a bit of freezer, the chips were pretty good and the sauce a bit on the ketchupy side. Fish and chips were adequate but portion of fish small. Burger was outstanding. Definitely order the burger! It's always nice to go to a restaurant that is not afraid to cook a burger rare or medium rare, and I appreciate that.

Outstanding. The staff was very attentive and food was scrumptious. Very disappointed the owners are no longer on WYPR.

Searching around for somewhere to eat early dropping our daughter back at Uni - was a real challenge . We came across Johnnys - tucked and hidden behind another restaurant - well Baltimores best kept secret ! The waiter was so very attentive - he used to visit as a customer with his mother - and now he works there - he was very knowledgeable and recommended the chicken burger - which was a hur with my family . Clientel nice local Crown from Roland Park too in early afternoon . Thankyou Luke !

At this point it is completely fair to say that Johnny's is coasting by on its location and status as the defacto town square of Roland Park. With a full load of tables every day, they dont seem to worry about quality control or hiring staff that belong in the hospitality industry. They have always been inconsistent. Burnt or dried out plates would happen every now and then, but lately it seems to be the norm. The menu is also stale and boring. Their apps list is two different chips, two shrimp dishes, two oyster dishes and something else. Its been this way for years. On my most recent visit, my partner and I went in for an early dinner at 5:30. We got the usual cold reception at the host stand that I've become used to, however it quickly turned bad from there. Plenty of open tables throughout at this time. However we were brought to the diner side which was mostly families with unruly small children. We were seated among three of these families in the absolute worst two top I've ever been seated at -pushed into the corner against the server station. This table location is so bad, it should be taken out. Meanwhile children are shrieking nonstop and their indifferent parents just act as if nothing is going on. As a parent of two young girls, I have a lot of empathy for them, but their non-confrontational parenting style on display here goes a bit too far. If your children are shrieking and you cant soothe them quickly, leave. One child was in a full blown meltdown upon arrival, never got better and began wailing and crawling along the bench against the wall far away from her parents and stayed there in a meltdown for over ten minutes until dad finished his drink. The only bright spot in this visit was our server who was excellent, I think she was the only staff member that night who knew how to smile. I wish I could say the same about our food. It was poorly cooked, badly presented, and so dried out I kept choking on it as I ate it. The milkshake I ordered to try to salvage the meal was watery and not creamy at all. It also took forever to arrive, prompting our server to thank me for my patience. Seriously who can mess up a milkshake? Johnny's can. If it weren't for the lack of other viable alternatives in the area, this place would have died off by now due to its poor quality, tired menu and a staff that can never crack a smile. But since its really the only option in the area it will continue to coast by on its location and its perceived potential. You'll have a better experience at the McDonald's in Hamden than here. Trust me its worth the extra drive. Tony, you can do better. We all love you and appreciate what you've done for the city, but unless you can turn around the operations here, you're just milking your neighbors with a substandard experience. I want to believe that this can be turned around, but its been so long since this was good, that its hard to see it ever happening.

It is my go to lunch place with friends. Food good service good. Quiet in rear. Great cookies

Food was very good. Soup was delicious, salad was great. Oysters okay. Timing was a little off. Here's the rub, asked three times for a dessert and coffee menu. Never got it. So many servers, but couldn't get dessert. Sigh. We gave up. Take cash!

Great atmosphere and delicious food. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Cool design. Exposed brick and funky architecture. Ordered fried oysters‐ so good I forgot to take a picture. Ordered black bean burger, fried rice and cauliflower wings. Food was beyond satisfying and very flavorful. Mimosas were pretty good too! Had a couple while waiting for my food.

We dined at Johnny's in January with my wife and two daughters. We sat in the dining section behind the bar. During the meal, we saw a mouse climb down the cast iron pipe, crawl on the ledge and up the other cast iron pipe into the ceiling. We notified the waiter and no one came by, no manager to ask questions. As a medical professional, I understand the disease that mice can carry. They randomly with urinate and defecate, droppings, such as on ledges. Sanitation is a concern. if they are in the dining area, there is a high probability they are in the food service area, a food source, that is being served to customers. They tend to reside behind the walls, in and under cabinets. If they are in the restaurant, they will have to hire a pest control to find where and how they are getting in the facility, otherwise it will be a recurrent problem. As we finished, we watched the waiter sit their customer at the table, against the wall, where the mouse crawled on the ledge. Disgusting. There was another Google reviewer who also commented on the mice in Johnny's 2 months ago. Recently a friend dined there and there are still mice there. Apparently the manager did not heed our warning and notify the owner. Johnny's need to be inspected by the Department of Health and closed till the mice infestation is resolved. We will not be going back.

Great service. Pretty good food. Calm ambiance. I have eaten there several times. Kind of a go-to place.

Made a reservation through Resy to celebrate our anniversary. I called to confirm the reservation and remind that it is our anniversary and if they can make it special with a candle or something. I was told they have that with my reservation and they will definitely take care and surprise my wife. To my dismay, nor did they acknowledge once and nor did they do anything special. If I could I would have given zero stars for the disappointment. Anyways the food was also very average. The cauliflower was okay, I mean without the Siracha sauce it was just bland. Salmon was overcooked and so was my wife's fish of the day (Mahi Mahi) which was also overcooked but she liked the mushrooms underneath the fish. Ambiance was okay. We might try this place again sometime later but very disappointed with their service and how they dealt with this reservation and our anniversary.

Some not so great experiences with extremely slow service. On Mondays only one bar is open and when we were there, it was very understaffed Food was good when we finally got it

Had a little date night with the hubs and chose indoor dining because it had rained earlier and even though outdoor seating is covered, I didn't want to deal with random drops hitting me. Of course, it didn't rain, lol! Every single time we're at Johnny's is great although I much prefer having lunch there than dinner. I've done both and love both but Johnny's is a lunch spot for me. So dinner...I had the beet salad with shrimp as an app. So many textures! Loved it a lot. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the green beans were just okay (I prefer the ends cut) but the carrot purée was the STAR! It made me want to try and recreate it at home, no lie. My husband had the tuna and he enjoyed it. I had enough willpower to say no to dessert but my husband ordered it and our server brought us 2 spoons so I haaaaad to try it, right?! It was really good. I'll be back but for lunch, of course!

I love Johnny's....the waiters are great ....it's comfortable with great atmosphere. For me the food has gone down hill .... Caesar salad was inedible ...dressing was not Caesar and was terrible. Salmon on top was cold and raw . I literally could not eat it. There is no steak on the menu for dinner ! Would also suggest having some new things once in a while ....menu getting boring ....even burgers were not good this past week .... Difference between Johnny's and petite Louie....night and day ! Disappointing
