Went for a late brunch, and had the most amazing fried rice I have ever eaten! The fried rice is a complete must, and can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Everyone in service was very knowledgeable and anxious to help in any way. Such a great choice!
We happened to be in the area and I Googled restaurants near me. Johnny's came up and due to the description, we decided to try it. The hostess was very nice, welcomed us in and we were seated immediately. (Way in the back so it was nice and quiet.) The restaurant was designed beautifully and the atmosphere was wonderful. Kudos to the interior designer. Everything on the menu sounded delishious and was exactly how the restaurant was described, "upscale diner." Awesome concept. We ordered cocktails and food and everything was exceptional. We very much appreciate a spaced out, relaxed meal as opposed to having everything rushed out to the table. The waiter did an awesome job at timing the courses.
Two very minor complaints were #1 - the cocktails, though very good, were more ice than cocktail and #2 - our waiter never told us about the specials. We found out about them when another waiter offered them to the table next to us.
Will we go back, take out-of-town guests and suggest the resturaunt to friends...all a very big yes.
We had an event at Johnny’s last evening and it went off without a hitch. The service was fabulous, the food was delicious (definitely order the crab fluff!), and management made sure every detail was taken care of. Highly recommend them for a special occasion get together or dinner out!
I don't usually stay at a place if I walk in and find it's closing in a few minutes, but last night we were happily greeted and told to please come in. Thankfully, we just came in for a quick drink and desert. Everything was great! The cocktails were well-made and the staff were very accommodating. Thank you Johnny's for a nice way for us to end our evening... much appreciated!
Atmosphere, service and food are all great! A great spot for brunch.
Great breakfast and outstanding service. Try the baked goods assortment wonderful baker in the house.
Excellent food and service at the bar, will make this a Sunday night visit on a more regular basis! Thank you everyone.
always a great, cozy meal and experience. Johnny’s is on our “can’t miss” circuit.
The past few times I have had the same waiter and he is super sweet and very crushable... Wonder if he's single? :) Food was good too... And ambiance. Always an enjoyable experience. Cookies are amazing when they have them!
Food and service is excellent!! It is a great place to go on a random night or for a special occasion!!
The food is awesome. So is the management which gets 10 on 10 for regulating COVID precautionary measures inside the restaurant. The 1 hour restricted sitting time is enough to savor the amazing cuisine and dessert. I highly recommend this place. Also, really good for mid-size family dining/get together.
Sat in the bar area for dinner and was extremely impressed with the entire evening. Server was excellent. Drinks, food, ambiance, prices very reasonable. The star of the night for me was the Caesar Salad! I normally skip the crotons and add in tomato and onions. Finely chopped and outstanding flavor. Possibly the best I've had in a very long time. Can't wait to come back.

Man ole man, this place was hiding from me. Like, literally tucked in a corner of a plaza on Roland Avenue. This place is great. The staff is extremely professional and well versed in the menu-friendly as well. The berry Christmas cocktail was amazing. The crab bisque was so I good I order a second on for dessert 😅. The salmon dish was great too, but if you like soup and crab- get the soup!
Pizzaz atmosphere, amazing and fast service (very friendly and kind!), fantastic food, great vibes. Loved this spot!
This is an awesome spot in Roland Park. If you want to get a nice breakfast or brunch with the family or sneak away and have an intimate date night this place has Excellent food, service l, and atmosphere!!! Enjoy!
The food is okay, service and the atmosphere is super nice. I had burger twice there and it was a bit dry, the fries were not crunchy, but it once it was much better. The bread was not fresh. There is not really consistency. They usually serve bread/corn bread with butter at the beginning, which I really enjoy.
Chavon is the best bartender/server!! Me and my best girlfriend came late and he made us cocktails and made sure we had the best buttery oysters!!! Love this place!!!
A lovely dinner with exceptional service and delicious food. The main entrées were sized right, seasoned terrifically, and all tasted unique. The curry sauce with the fish and chips is magnificent. Mushrooms and green beans with the salmon are deeply grounded and just rich enough. Fried oyster appetizer melts in the mouth. Cocktails are solid. We will be back.
But we won't order the mac and cheese. How can a place that does everything else with care and creativity serve mac and cheese that is blander than Kraft out of a box? I really want Johnny's to do mac and cheese like I know they can. Please!
Came here for brunch, can't wait to come back! A unique menu that satisfies everyone in a large group. Down home cooking with excellent drinks. Really liked the outdoor seating and extra covid precautions. I'd suggest making a reservation.
The service was really good. Our Waiter Clarence took really good care of us. Our happy hour drink (cranberry whisky sour)was really good. So was the shrimp tempura appetizer. The old bay aioli sauce really had a ton of good flavor. The only thing I would recommend would be to add some more flavor to the spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce was a little runny and lacked taste.
Was not disappointed with our dining experience at Johnny's. We ate inside, what character the restaurant has! Covid protocol was followed by all. The staff was very knowledgeable and attentive. The food was delicious. Looking forward to returning again soon!
Visiting for first time at 5PM on a H-O-T weekday in August. They have probably 10 parking spots available (all were gone by 6) and indoor and outdoor seating (with umbrellas overlooking the parking lot). We had a 5:30 outdoor reservation and arrived early so sat at the bar and had some of their Happy Hour ($5 small watermelon margaritas and $22 for a small pitcher of Blackberry Plum Sangria...served about 3.5 glasses...and the $5 "snack" which was 3 bites of grilled beef (on sticks) with roasted red pepper sauce). All was very tasty and well prepared, and they had a lot of staff around that were helpful and friendly. All COVID safe and being followed by everyone we saw. The interior is nicely decorated and rustic but also really dark, kind of like a basement or pub. So, we abandoned the glorious A/C for our outdoor table which was very nice and great while the breeze was blowing through....but when it died, was like eating in a sauna with all of us mopping sweat with our napkins (darn you nature, not the restaurant's fault!). Basket of bread/ butter upon seating (one piece each). The cornmeal oysters were delicious, the old bay chips were underwhelming..........the menu in general ($17 hamburger and fries plus $2 for bacon) seems a little more standard fare and tilted toward casual and sandwiches than we were expecting. Sandwiches well prepared and nice portion with sides of tasty fries. Cookies for $3.50 and the Mocha was by far and away the best, like a moist gooey brownie cookie. Overall we had a nice dinner - probably wouldn't do outdoor again unless 80 degrees or under outside, could use a little more local or unique variety on the menu, but what they have, they prepare well.
Thanks for making outdoor seating so well-spaced, safe, and comfortable, Johnny's! Have loved every meal I've had here, especially the ones that involved seafood. The different seating options provide variety of atmosphere - more casual to more upscale.
We had a team lunch at Johnny’s and the staff were fantastic in catering to our large group. We were able to sample all their appetizers, much of their menu, and all of the amazing cookies (personally, the mocha ones are probably the best cookies I’ve ever had)! We topped off the meal with a great cup of cappuccino.
Great atmosphere, nice location, and - even though it’s tight - not bad parking either.
Phenomenal service!! Nicole and Julia were fabulous. The hostess was welcoming and vibrant. Food was stellar! Black
Lives Matter sign welcoming me in was icing on the cake. Thank you for going the extra mile with that. We are from out of town where racism has been prevalent so to feel welcome in both word and deed means more than you know.
Until we meet again …
Sending peace and this black girl is glad she mattered 💜💜
