This unassuming, little italian deli is tucked in among a business park off Front street. Had I not googled it, I probably would not have realized it was here. My other options for food in the area are McDonald's and Waffle House, so Johnny C's is a very welcome option for lunch! Most sandwiches are around $10-12 including a bag of Lay's potato chips. I just wish they included a pickle as well. I've had the chicken parm, italian steak, Johnny's Palermo and a turkey bacon club. All were good. My only complaint is the lettuce they use is leaf, not shredded. By the time I drive 7 minutes back to work, the leaf lettuce is soggy and must be removed. Other than that, no complaints. The people here are so friendly and accommodating. I'll definitely be back!

I ordered the lasagna special that came with a salad and drink for like $15.00 . It was a pretty good deal. The only thing that was lacking was any kind of other ingredients in the salad other than lettuce and dressing. Other than that, everything was pretty good! It was my first time here and I'll probably be back again to try the meatball sub next time. I hear it's really good too.

Sandwiches were delicious. Got the tuna, and it was good. Had egg, which was something I've never done before but liked.

I'm so mad at myself for not taking a picture of Johnny C's spaghetti with meat sauce (and an added meatball)...it is the Italian meal that I've been trying to have my whole life. I love everything about this place - it is so good. Go hungry - they give you sliced Italian bread and butter and salad with the meal - and get the extra meatball!

This is a great place to grab a lunch! I've tried pretty much all of their sandwiches and haven't found one I didn't like.
Love the nostalgic atmosphere

This was my first time dining here. First off, the food was delicious!

The reason for 3 stars is due to the lack of clearly present communication regarding the 10% service charge automatically added to all orders. There’s a small sign that the cashier pointed to after I asked about the charge once I received my receipt.

I understand the need to ensure employees receive a living wage but I feel that you need to make it very clear that there is a charge so diners can decide if this is a charge they are willing to pay and, most importantly, so diners that DO tip service workers are not tipping at 40%. There’s a tip jar and I tipped $3.75 on a $9.99 meal because the cashier was friendly and helped me with my order. I look at my receipt and learn that I also tipped $1.04 via the automatic service charge. For my $10 meal I tipped $4.79.

Also, the service charge you are charging is more than 10%. It’s actually 10.5% I know that may not seem like a lot but it adds up. So, I’d also suggest you let the customers know you’re charging 10.5%.

I wish your business great success.
