“ The server was kind, knowledgeable, and helped fill in the gaps about the menu while making great recommendations. We started with the baba ghanoush, which was wonderfully garlicky and absolutely delicious with the warm pita bread. We each ordered different entrées so we could try a variety of dishes, and everything came out perfectly and tasted great. The only item that fell a little short was the olives and pickles, which were a bit underwhelming. We finished with the baklava, and it was the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and we will be back. ”
“ Stopped in for breakfast at lunchtime. Saw the daily specials, I decided I’m the Salisbury steak & hubby got the fried pork chop. The pork chop was “bussin”, the greens were good & the cornbread patty was fresh. I should have stuck with the breakfast. But we always stop here when visiting from Texas. ”
“ Johnny B’s is a local gem that handles everything from sunrise to sunset. We dived into the Johnny B Burgers; while the patty was a bit of a 'plain Jane' in the spice cabinet, the execution and fresh toppings were spot on. The real MVPs, however, were the shoestring fries and those incredible onion rings—seriously, the batter is legendary. We capped it off with a PB & chocolate pie that was light as a cloud. Pro tip: Don’t leave without a to-go box. We’re currently guarding our peach and chocolate pies with our lives. Breakfast is next on the hit list. ”
“ Food was great. Drink was hot, not cooled. Melted ice immediately. Service wasn’t the best. Waitress looked annoyed when I asked for pickles and mayo. It didn’t come with order when it came either. But food was good. ”
“ Best breakfast deal in town. Served hot with generous portions. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Hash browns need a little more attention but the grits were spot on. Eggs over medium cooked perfectly. The sausage and bacon was meaty and delicious ”
