I had not eaten at Johnny Carino's in a long time, and I always loved their calamari. SO I ordered a large order of calamari and was very shocked to see that it was HALF the size it used to be. Not only that, but now there were fried pepper slices mixed in to give the illusion there was more calamari than there actually was. This was not a part of the calamari previously. Not sure if this was just this location or is a company-wide change, but NEVER again.

Went for dinner with family, the food was great. I had shrimp Alfredo, first time in a long time that it wasn't like chewing on rubber. Believe they need to re-finish the tables, or scrub them all down with good hot soap and water. Our table was super sticky, even after the hostess wiped the table.

Love Johnny Carinos. Sad to know there are so few left open! Was glad to find this one in Joplin MO! Bowtie Festival is my go to meal.

Everything is great, the spaghetti and meatballs with sausage, the service, and cheesecake dessert. Both of us were pleasantly surprised.

The food was delicious and the portions were generous. Boston(what he said to call him) was an amazing server who could tell you the ingredients in every dish on the menu without having to check a menu or ask the kitchen staff. All other staff members were super friendly and the place was very clean. Many reviews we saw before going complained specifically about portion size, and we don't understand why. If you don't get full here you must have the biggest badunk-adunk ever and thats coming from three sizable dunks ourselves. ;)We had a great time and will definitely be back again.Parking: Plenty of spaces! :)
I loved it. I wish we still had one in Texas. The roasted garlic in oil with the bread is the best!

My husband and I went around 3:30 and stood at the check in desk for awhile and although there were guys and a girl working, no one came to take us to a table. A couple of them looked our way and continued what they were doing. We finally just left.

Ordered lunch here. And it’s is crazy expensive for the portions. 40$ for take out for two people. One slice of lasagna with no sides, no drink just the lasagna. I order a gluten free Alfredo but it was bland. Even payed more for chicken but there was not much in it. The pieces that were I found a couple prices that weren’t cooked all through. It was really tough.The service there is amazing and I’ve gone to eat in before and it’s great but this time taking out was absolutely not worth it. And I wouldn’t recommend it
Well let's see, ordered a BBQ burger well done and it came out pink. Also ordered fettuccine and asked for Italian sausage but apparently that is not allowed. The server was nice and we did get there 30 minutes prior to closing but we were quick.

For the price, the portion sizes are small. My kids were still hungry when we left. I went to wal mart and bought some frozen ravioli and sauce. Went out to eat and still had to cook something. The adult sizes weren't any better. When we spend almost 100 dollars out to eat, we would expect to be full.Service was extremely slow even though it was almost empty. Our food wasnt hot, just lukewarm when we got it, which tells me the food was ready for a while.My kids got a sundae and it took the waitor 30 minutes to get it. The restaurant was almost empty. There is no excuse for that slow of service with several waitors and a handful of people in there. We were the only table in that section.We will not return. I will pay 100 dollars elsewhere that gives good size potions, hot food, and decent service.
