“Let me just tell you something — I haven’t had meatloaf in a very long time… and now I’m mad I’ve been missing out. I’m still dreaming about that meatloaf. The flavor? Criminal. The texture? Melt-in-your-mouth magic. And don’t even get me started on the mac & cheese and mashed potatoes… it was like getting a warm hug from your childhood Sunday dinner. It was so good, it made me want to slap my mama — twice. 10/10 would eat again. Chef’s kiss.💋 Shout out to Tiffany — for making me feel all the love I needed! #stayhydrated“

“I have to say, the customer service here was exceptional. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly, beautiful young lady named Danaisa with a warm smile. She had such a great sense of humor—when I asked her to say "hi" again, she laughed and did it without hesitation! I mentioned that I had been to two other restaurants that day, and neither offered service like this. The moral of the story? If you don’t get treated the way I did by Danaisa, walk right out!

Overall, I had fast and efficient service, and the entire staff, including the management, was incredibly welcoming and nice. Truly a wonderful experience!“

“I've had occasion to eat at Johnny B's since it first opened. All in all it's a great restaurant, the seating is comfortable, the staff is pleasant and efficient, the food is great, and it's very clean. My only negative comments would concern the volume of the music in the background. When you go in for breakfast, or any time really, you don't need the music turned up as loud as it always is. My other negative comment concerns the fact that they are out of tea bags for hot tea quite often. If tea bags don't come when ordered there is a Food Lion right across the parking lot where a box could be purchased. These are minor items overall, and they won't stop us from dining there, but it would be nice to have these issues addressed.“
