I stop for a quick bite at the end of the day and I use the bar area reason why I didn't take any pictures. That being said, bartender was very attentive as soon I sat down, service was top notch. Drink was great, the potato soup was delicious with a perfect presentation. I ordered a classic Cesar salad with an add on of a Salmon filet, it was perfectly cooked and salad was delicious. Ambience was great. The menu has an amazing choices if you are interested in different kind of steaks and the wine list have a variety of choices as well. 100% recommended!
I got my appetizers in a decent time but the calamari was raw, let me get some salmonella to go! Server gave me some sad bread thanks for the scraps.. The main course took an hour! Not great look for you Chef's. Overall it was a bad day do better. For these reason I don't tip...
P.S. chefs the food is suppose to be warm or hot not cold and tasteless..

Staff was great - ordered a mid-rare steak and it came out overcooked like shoe leather.
I didn't feel like waiting for another, and they did handle it professionally when I show the center cut. They took some money off the bill, but somebody needs to buy the cook a meatometer.
So disappointed! We’ve been dining at Johnny’s for over 30 years and tonight might be the last time. 7 adults all ordered steak in one form or another and all were overcooked. One had a slight pink tinge but most were definitely well done. My husband had trouble cutting his ribeye with his steak knife. We informed the waiter and I assumed we would get a visit from the manager but there was no acknowledgment. Unfortunately with the economy the way it is, it is getting harder to find consistency, which I can understand at Denny’s, but not Johnny’s. We won’t be spending $500 at your establishment again.

Not sure why its called a steakhouse. Only 2 steak options on menu. Burgers were cooked well tho. Baked potato soup was bland. Onion soup was good.

5-16-2026. Let me tell you, we came in at 5:15, waited 5-10 minutes at the door for a hostess. There was no hostess, I thought nobody worked there. Then was seated. 12 minutes of waiting for a waiter to ask us what we wanted to drink, never showed up. Then I noticed that nobody around us had be waited of either, they was there before us. So we decided to just leave and go somewhere else that wanted business. It reminded me of this place 20+ years ago, same thing happened. So I'll never go back.
The best steak I've had since I lived in Austin, TX! The turtle cheesecake was unbelievable, I highly recommend you try the sausage bread, you can make a meal from that alone it was so good! You need to try Johnny's steak house near DM airport, you won't regret it!

Service was average to a bit slow, not horrible,but not great either. Food was disappointing. Asparagus was tough and we wasted a lot. The piece of steak with the Italian trio was tough. We would rather eat elsewhere next time.

In town for a conference, looking for a good steak. Johnny's did not disappoint. The meal came with great tasting bread and a side salad with delicious house dressing. I had the 14 oz ribeye with mixed veggies. The steak (very tender) was perfectly cooked (medium) and had great flavor. Not the best steak I've ever had, but the best one I've had on quite a while.

This is my husband's favorite place to take me for a date. We love the food, the drinks and mocktails are fabulous, and the restaurant has an upscale vibe without feeling pretentious. Fran was our server tonight and she was wonderful!
