Staff was good. My beer was good but wine that was ordered tasted bad and had to get a replacement. Quasadillas was a small portion and the bun on my fish sandwich was ice cold and stale. We were told it was happy hour but when we got the bill we were charged full price and was told there was no happy hour on Sunday. I read reviews before we went there and wondered how they got a five star. It was bad, not going back again!

Was the first time here. The food was very good, the French fries were fantastic and the pizza thick and “gooy”. The Cuban sandwich was also very good, although I did have to ask for mustard. I was also surprised it was pulled/shredded pork versus sliced as that is the only way I’ve had Cuban sandwiches. The atmosphere was a bit noisy, but perhaps that was due to a graduation celebration. The spinach artichoke dip was also very good, but if it had artichokes, you would need a magnifier to find them. Lots and lots of spinach, which my husband and I both enjoyed.

Have been there 2x in the past 2 weeks for some local bands. What a great place. Saturday’s band was from the East Lake area and they were great. We all had a great time and stayed almost until close and the music, service and food were great. Highly recommend.

Don’t go there and play music on touch tunes as the owner has no respect for a customers money and will stop what music he does not like. He should control the system by removing the song options to only be what he likes versus letting customers spend money to hear songs and then stop them 10 seconds into the song. Hope the few songs you couldn’t sit through was worth it.

We have been here a few times over the last few years. Different names, different owners. Food had always been good. Nothing special. Not to long ago we went out with a group of 6. 9pm. They close at 10pm. They turned us away because they were slow and closed the kitchen. Thanks for nothing. Will not waste my time again going here.

The most egregious thing that happened to us and many other strangers was the owner endlessly skipping people’s songs on the TouchTunes machine. You know, the digital jukebox people PAID MONEY to wait to hear in a queue, some for over 20+ minutes. He didn’t want to hear your song? Skipped only a few seconds in, so that something HE queued would play more quickly. He would then only let his music play in its entirety. He would skip through multiple songs just to get to his, so no one got to hear their requests.

I’m in the neighborhood so I decided to try their Tuesday special. Tacos. I ordered blackened fish tacos. The service was great and the tacos tasted great. Except the fish only covered one third of the tacos. The rest was lettuce, tomatoe, and cheese tacos.

We went to Johnny’s to watch game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The food was delicious and the service provided by our server, Wendy, was incredible. She was on top of our drinks and got the checks right despite us having 4 different checks in our large group.
