Wonderful atmosphere. The server was attentive. It was easy to find and park. The prices were reasonable. I enjoyed my visit.

What can I say about this place. My friends brought me here because they said it was a good place to grab a good bite and a good drink. The atmosphere was terrible, the food was worse. Not only did they get my friends the wrong food one friend found hairs in his Philly cheesesteak. I ordered a burger and after a couple of bites it meat tasted off. I took a third bite and immediately spit it out. The meat was completely rotten when I let the bar tender know she took it back to the cook who just shrugged it off like it was not a big deal. They didn't offer an apology for the rotten food, offer to replace it, or any kind of customer service. Instead the bartender avoided talking to me the rest of the time. This place is a menace and the cook is going to get someone seriously ill with their lack of care for their dishes. Avoid this bar at all cost, your bowels will thank you!

Went there for a late dinner on a Wednesday night. Started out with an appetizer sampler that was extra over-fried, to the point that the mini tacos snapped in half like a cracker. Then, main courses came out. Mine was decent but my partner ordered a burger. They spit out their second bite and tried a third. That's when they realized the burger meat was ROTTEN! Not only by taste but it smelled like rotten meat too 🤢. Really despicable and should be shut down for food safety issues. My other friend, who's familiar with this place over the years, said they have new management and that it has really gone downhill. It's unfortunate but the quality and safety of the food was so poor I don't know how this place continues to get 5 star reviews. I live nearby but I, nor any of my friends, will ever be returning. But hey, the beers were ok lol. We expected bar food and would have been happy with that. This was x1000 tiers worse than normal bar food.

Got assaulted by a tini asian lady for breaking a light. Hate to see what happens if I break a glass. Miss the previous owner. Sean never attacked me in the parking lot. Will miss it. Will never return.

Been a regular for a while now and while I loved Jonathan’s I’m excited for this new chapter in the bar’s story, everything was perfect and the drinks are still strong! We’ll be back!

Such a cute place. Go back to dining room.
Great service! We ordered the pizza and it was really good. The crust was homemade and good! Good prices too. Might seem like hole in wall it’s not inside! Give it a try!

This place is truly a hidden gem. Stumbled upon it after the concert at Fitzgerald Theater and it didn't disappoint! Great bartender staff, extremely welcoming and polite, definitely a must before and after shows anytime we are in Maryland again

Friendly neighborhood bar with fantastic staff and cheap beer - 3.50 for a draft and an excellent selection of bottled beer such as Shiner Bock.

The place is clean, seems like a favorite for the locals and they have an excellent line up of TVs showing sports.

Jonathan's food is fine, surprisingly expensive but that's the deal with inflation. Chelsea mixes some great cocktails and is our favorite server. Definitely see their selection of pies, 4.50 for a pie and 5.00 for a slice of cake.

A Five Star bar all around!!! Decided to stop in and check out Jonathan’s and man was I blown away! I love the “local, no frills” feel of this bar! It’s a bare bones, just amazing place! The service here is phenomenal, the lady who bartends was born to do it! The drinks are generous and potent (you will get your money’s worth), the food was good, I had a bacon cheeseburger with fries and it was amazing (the fries were especially crispy and hot), plenty of tv’s to watch whatever sporting event is on, and just when you think you’ve seen everything, the place explodes and all the locals show up and the party gets started! Everyone was super friendly, and what started as me coming in just to grab a beer, ended up being one of the best times I’ve had at a bar ever!! I can’t wait to get back to Jonathan’s!!
