In my opinion, this establishment should not be listed on OpenTable. The experience was completely inconsistent with how it is advertised.
I made a Valentine’s Day reservation for two and paid a $20 non-refundable fee, assuming that guaranteed proper seating. Instead, we were placed outside under a covered tent. Upon arrival, we were required to pay $25 for parking and an additional $40 just to be seated outside. At no point was it made clear that the reservation fee did not guarantee indoor seating. We later learned other patrons without reservations were seated in the same area, making the reservation feel meaningless.
Before we were even offered water, a drink, or an appetizer, we were already out $85.
After requesting indoor seating, we were moved upstairs, where I stood for approximately 10 minutes just to speak with someone about being seated. Once seated, no one cleaned the table and no staff approached us. I eventually went to the bar and waited 20 minutes just to receive two drinks. No one came to take our order. I then waited another 10 minutes trying to place a food order and was ignored again.
After all of this, we left without ever being served. We spent the evening dressed up for what was supposed to be a special Valentine’s celebration, only to waste nearly $100 and receive no service at all. While we waited, we watched multiple other couples give up and leave as well.
This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. The entire operation felt disorganized, misleading, and unprofessional. I will not be returning, and I would strongly caution others against booking here.

Today was my first time attempting to eat at this restaurant only to leave without being serviced because the little short guy that was bartenders had such nasty attitude. I will never spend my money their. They lost a total of 4 customers at one time. Do better people!

The guy behind the bar is terrible...unprofessional and just plain RUDE. After he verbally attacked my son one evening when we were standing waiting for him to stop talking to two females at the bar and I had a money order in my hand to do business with them I took my money order and left. Guess he wanted to 'flex' in front of the females...as he stood there ignoring us and it was slightly loud in the place. I had called for his attention twice got nowhere so my son tried and he wasn't rude at all he used his voice deeper and louder than me to get the short guys attention which he did but he was real rude and I wouldn't go back in this place for one million dollars. It has been a year since this happened but I haven't forgot how he treated me and my son in the venue and outside. I got in my car and left. I would never go back. I even sent a letter to the venue care of the owner never got a response. Go at your own risk.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Johnny T's did not disappoint—worth every mile of the two-hour drive from Monroe, Louisiana. I came with a group of 12 people, and from the moment we walked in, everything was on point. The food was great, our orders came out fast, and the drinks were flowing just as quick. No long waits, no confusion—just smooth service all around. The vibe was unmatched. The music was on point, setting the perfect atmosphere for a great night out. The bartenders had amazing attitudes, the busboys stayed on top of everything, and the entire staff made us feel welcomed and appreciated. Everything about the experience was excellent. We most definitely will be back. Johnny T's is officially a favorite. šŸ‘ŒšŸ¾šŸ”„

The food and service was wonderful! I went there for my birthday and had 5 guests that attended. I didn't like the fact that one of my guests has on a dress with dressy flip flops and still wasn't able to get in. They were not beach or shower shoes but dressy and matched her long dress. You could barely see them. We came from Vicksburg so driving back home wasn't an option. Luckily I had a pair of tennis shoes in my trunk. I was also confused on the reservation. I paid 30 dollars for 6 but one guest couldn't come. I'm not sure if I was charged or not. I do know that nothing came off the bill. The sever was phenomenal and was holding down the bar and our table. It took us a minute to get our food but it was worth it.

Omgoodness! The food was 10/10. I got the catfish and grits. My husband got the Cajun pasta. We got fried broccoli as an appetizer! All were top tier! So good that we are still talking about it. Worth every penny spent.

Great atmosphere—I really enjoyed my time here. I’m not local, so I didn’t know that baseball caps aren’t allowed at the bar. I wish I could give 4½ stars instead of five, but I’ll go with five. My only complaint was the food: the chicken wasn’t fully cooked, and it was quite pricey.
