Brisket was amazing fall off the fork dont need a knife at all. Fries and potatoe salad good. Slaw is okay as well as chicken sandwich. Sweet tea good.

There's a print on the wall of Lewis Grizzard being met at the Pearly Gates by Catfish. If you understand that reference, you will love this place

Disappointing experience, unfortunately. The food was subpar. The chicken wasn’t smoked or BBQd at all. It tasted like it was boiled and then shredded. It was very plain and completely unseasoned. The fries were also unseasoned except for a minimal amount of salt. There is only one choice of BBQ on the tables, and it’s vinegar-based. The coleslaw was on the sweeter side. The banana pudding tasted like it was made using artificial sweeteners. Wouldn’t recommend this place, even though it’s a locally owned restaurant.

Over priced and lacking in any kind of seasoning except for the smoke, even fries had no salt. Sweet tea tastes like perfume. Not a good experience.

Just a really good traditional southern BBQ restaurant. Lical memoribilia and old photos of t g e area on the walls. I loved the chopped pork sandwich and the smoked wings are good too. The pork is chopped to order. This keeps it fresh and juicy and full of flavor. The sauce is complementary and not over powering.

Very picky about my bbq. This is hands down the best I have found near the cumming ga area. Absolutely worth the drive!!

Starting to get really sloppy with the plates. The BBQ sauce belongs on the BBQ not soaking the fries and coleslaw. It’s very disappointing. Ruined a family meal.

We usually go thru drive thru and the ladies are so sweet and nice. We do dine in sometimes and the guys and ladies are as nice and welcoming as they are when we go thru the drive thru. Place is always clean.

Good Service, Nice local spot. Come for lunch and they’ll have you out in plenty of time to make it back for work. wait is real low. Is it the Best Barbecue i’ve ever had? no. But it’s a far sight from the worst. Good consistent place to get a solid lunch for a decent price.

I’ve only lived here for a few years and I have not tried Johnny’s BBQ before yesterday. My husband cooked ribs and I purchased the coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans and homemade banana pudding here. OMG!! You have made me a big fan. Everything was amazingly delicious. You will definitely see more of me. Yummy 😋
