The fried chicken sandwich is a favorite, with flavors that complement each other while taking some risks. Customers have praised the service as top-notch and friendly, creating a welcoming environment. There is a cozy indoor area along with a large outdoor eating space. Some dishes, like the ribeye burger, could use a bit more seasoning, but the overall experience is positive. Johnston's Saltbox is a great neighborhood spot with delicious rotating menu options and healthy choices, making it a wonderful choice any day of the week.
