Awesome place!! Been going there since I have been a child and I’m 51 now.
We stopped by Johnny ads due to social media saying that it was an enjoyable experience. Come to find out was very disappointed. We had the Johnny’s Seafood platter. The whole belly clams were undercooked. Nothing like what’s shown in its picture breading was OK. The two shrimp that they gave you were not butterfly and crunchy. They were hard as a rock. Not a great experience.
everything was good except the Rhode Island clam chowder , they need to put real clams in instead of ground up tiny specs very disappointed yesterday in the chowder all we got was broth and potatoes with tiny bits of clam
