Johnson Creek Tavern

Food was mediocre. Not much flavor. Restaurant was dirty. Service was personable. Wouldn't go back.

Our waiter was very good. The food was okay. The ladies restroom was filthy. It makes one wonder: How clean is the kitchen? I won't return.

We stopped in for lunch waiting for our Villa check-in. What a pleasant find. Had the crabcake sandwich that came with a roulade and a lobster sauce... Mix the two if you try and you won't regret it! Going to try and return to try the Maui BLT.

We have lived here 7 years and eaten here many times and have loved it. They have new MGMT is my understanding and the food was pretty much inedible last time we were there. I hope it is fixed quickly because we have loved this place previously.

JCT is awesome! Food is delicious and the portions are generous plus there are many options to choose from. The service is the best. We eat here every time we visit Harbor Island.

Great view. Delish mash potatoes. The steak was a little dry, but crab legs were good.

Best meal we’ve had since being on the island! The food at Johnson Creek Tavern was insanely good — super flavorful Southern dishes. Service was amazing too. We’ll definitely be back!

I’ve been a customer personally for over 20 years and my family for over 40 years. Based on our experiences over the last year, we will NEVER go again. JCT has also deleted all the comments and reviews I’ve posted recently because they are negative.

A local friend had recommended this restaurant to us. We tried to call yesterday to see if they offered to-go meals. Someone picked up the phone and sat it on the counter. I sat waiting for almost 10 mins. No one ever came back to speak with me. I could hear the restaurant noise in the background. I tried a few times again later, and the phone was still off the hook. That was a disappointment. But we gave you another try tonight. We went there to dine-in. My husband and 2 sons got good food with no issues (a seafood plate, kid burger plate, and kid chicken plate ). My baked potato was tiny and burnt to where you couldn’t even get a fork into it. Waiter agreed. It was sent back and replaced with another side. All good to go… ? nope. I went to eat my scallops and found them to be very undercooked. Our waiter took those back and replaced them, too. My family was almost finished with their meal and needed to wait on me to eat. There was a long black hair in the bottom of my coleslaw bowl. 🤢 I didn’t even bother to get it replaced. I just didn’t eat it. I appreciate that both items were replaced and I completely understand that issues happen sometimes. But that seemed to be a lot. It’s the first time in years I’ve sent back food in a restaurant (I’m not picky). We never saw management for them to provide good customer service to at least apologize for the multiple issues or make it right with a small discount, free dessert, etc. The waiter apologized and even said he wished he could have something done for us but the “owner wasn’t there.” Our waiter was great; I wish I could remember his name. Said he doesn’t work there often.

This place is amazing. We have ate here 2 times this week. The bartender makes this place. He is so out going !!!! The food. Omg. The crab dip. The steak. The chicken with cheese and bacon and the Wings are out of this world. And the drinks. The drinks was amazing. Keep it up guys and keep the bartender.

Authentic low-country dining with a casual atmosphere and beautiful views of the surrounding marsh.

It was awful service with a flippant attitude from the waitress and we have been coming here since the 80s. We had to wait an hour and a half after ordering our food, the food was good but we watched 11 people order and leave before us and then we were forced to pay a 20% gratuity fee after the waitress forgot to put our order in and laughed while saying it was a “busy” day.
