This is just an all around great little tavern. Surprisingly good selection of Bourbon at reasonable prices. The food is terrific, I stick to the burger but my girlfriend has sampled everything on the menu and never been disappointed and the prices are great. The servers are awesome, the kind that remember you after a couple visits. Even when it is packed we still get great service. If you haven't been you are really missing a Columbus gem.

It's a bar that sells food. It not bad but not great. Would eat there again. But wouldn't necessarily go out of the way to.

Very solid burger, great service.

Great burgers and the fried bologna rivals Waldos. Staff seams to stay in a positive mood so the service and vibes are great.

Great food. Honestly one of the best, if not The best burger I've had in awhile. Worth every bit of the low price. It was great service and a great environment. Definitely a go to place for a good experience

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. The server/bartender seemed to be tackling all of the tables on her own and she still did a wonderful job. We never waited for anything despite her being busy. Got the cheese curds and fried mushroom appetizers to start. They were average. Nothing exceptional, but good. Burger and tots for the main were pretty decent. Ambience was awesome. Overall, a great place to grab some solid bar food and some cold drinks. I would definitely stop by again.

Been around forever for a reason, it’s delicious. No mystery there, if you like a great burger give them a try.
Dropped by Johnnie’s Tavern on Trabue Rd, and let me tell you—this spot is a whole vibe. Classic no-frills bar with checkered tablecloths, a laid-back crowd, and friendly staff that make you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time.
I went for the Johnnie’s Burger and it hit the spot—juicy, flavorful, and made fresh. The fried mushrooms and jalapeño poppers were crispy and perfect for sharing. Drink-wise, they’ve got great options: from local beers to buckets of domestics, and their happy hour (3–7pm) keeps your tab nice and light.
They even have a few desserts written up on a chalkboard, and the pineapple upside-down cake was the sleeper hit of the day.
This is the kind of place where you grab a cold drink, a solid bite, and play a few games on the machine while the game’s on in the background. It’s been around since 1948 and you can feel that old-school charm still alive.
Definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in the Columbus area. Follow me for more local food gems — @realriguin

I love this place. The fried bologna is fantastic. The onion rings are the best in town.

Tried the burger, tots, and onion rings. Amazing food. Service was great and joked around. Nice looking inside. Fun car on a pole outside.
