I’ve been coming here every time I visit my dad with my husband and daughter, but this last visit was very disappointing.
We arrived around 3 PM and were greeted by a friendly waitress who took great care of us. My dad and I ordered the BBQ ribs, my husband got the fish sandwich, and my daughter ordered mac and cheese.
The food came out quickly, but the ribs looked and tasted old, as if they’d been reheated. My husband said his fish sandwich was bland with very little fish, and my dad’s coleslaw was sour like it had gone bad. I tried the ribs myself, and after two bites, I had to rush to the restroom to throw up (I’m 7 months pregnant). The bathrooms were also dirty, with no toilet paper in my stall and an unflushed toilet I flushed them myself and pushed the paper towel trash down for them.
The fried squash I ordered was soggy and oily, though the fried okra my dad got was decent. The coffee was old (the waitress admitted it was from that morning), but she did keep the sweet tea refilled.
When we returned the ribs, a German cockroach ran across our table toward the food my daughter dropped. (My dad said I should have took a photo of the roach before I flicked it but I panicked) Shortly after, the chef came out defensively explaining how they “pre-broil” their ribs before reheating them to serve, but they still tasted spoiled and asking where we are from making it seem a little offensive. He eventually took them off the bill, and we only paid for the kids’ meal, the fish sandwich and the drinks. Crazy how a BBQ RESTAURANT can’t get a bbq meal right.
But the waitress was the best part of our visit, but unfortunately, everything else was a nightmare. We won’t be returning.
Ps- if you want to experience an episode of kitchen nightmares I’d say go here.

Johnny’s…. Where do I begin.
My boyfriend and I decided to dine there this evening, being lured in by the “under new management” sign for the upteenth time.
I’ve been dining at this restaurant on and off for three years, as I’m a local to Rockwell. I’ve seen it change hands numerous times within those years, and it hasn’t gotten any better.
I love a good hometown barbeque grill look just like anyone else. The nostalgic vibe is to die for, however, there are some fixtures that look like they haven’t been replaced since that nostalgic time, more directly, there are several places in the ceiling in the dining hall that look like they’re about to cave in. It’s eerily quiet in the dining hall, as there’s no music, only a gentle trickle of music coming from the kitchen, of which you cannot hear anything. At the time we attended, we were not the only patrons, and I barely heard any motion from the kitchen. Usually when restaurants have a call window as big as the one here, you can at least hear the sizzling from pans, or the sounds of dishes and utensils clattering together, but I heard nothing but the quiet music. I found this to be extremely off-putting, and leads me to believe that my meal was microwaved. No matter where you sit, the tables are usually always sticky, or have some type of residue on them from previous patrons. Which, sounds a bit nitpicky, in writing, but coming from someone who has dined here multiple times at different times of the day, and there has been no change? For years? Something’s up. The menus were the exact same, nothing changed. I understand that new management means that; new management, not new restaurant, but don’t put “The New Johnny’s” on the menu if everything’s the exact same. Now, onto the main course. My meal was two grilled pork chops with Cajun seasoning, a side of green beans, and fries with ranch dressing. My boyfriend’s was a Philly Cheesesteak sub, also with green beans and fries, and he ordered two dinner rolls.
When my meal was brought to me, it was served on a sectioned plate, which reminded me of what you’d put a toddler’s food on, and my green beans were served in a Styrofoam bowl, which tells me that they would rather contribute to product waste than wash a dish. This statement is further cemented by the fact that my boyfriend and I both bore witness to a member of waitstaff rinsing out the same glass in the front sink, and was used to refill every single guest’s drinks, including ours. That’s not inherently unhygienic since they weren’t touching the guest’s glass and the refill glass’s rims directly together, but honestly, it’s weird and gross. Back to the food. Pork chops are more apt to dry as they cook, I understand this, but these lacked every single molecule of moisture that could’ve possibly been left in them. I fear if I had not asked for Cajun seasoning, they would’ve been bland, and practically inedible. Speaking of bland, my green beans tasted like they hadn’t been seasoned whatsoever, and the small pieces of the pork fat used in the cooking seemed old and flavorless. The fries surprisingly were fine, aside from the ranch used to dip them in. They must’ve changed the recipe here, since the old ranch did not taste like a thick, sweet mayonnaise.
The rolls were greasy, and the side butter served with them was akin to pure lard. No flavor whatsoever. I wasn’t sure if I was even eating butter at that point. I understand that this isn’t a chain restaurant, and is local, but it’s customers should not settle for subpar food just because it’s local. I’d much rather take my coin somewhere where you can actually feel the heart and soul of the kitchen in your food.
When I first started coming here, it felt homey, and warm, now it just feels like a poorly oiled machine churning out slop until it inevitably breaks. I want the best for this restaurant, but I don’t have high hopes it will last much longer. I am surprised it has lasted 17 years. This was the nail in the coffin. We will not be returning.

I had a very bad experience here me and my partner went here after a long and very tiring day we hadn’t had anything all day except water and we were very hungry and I got a cheese steak and my partner got a pork chop plate and honestly I didn’t want to make a fuss I just wanted to go home so instead of complaining about the food I payed and left apon getting home I fell sick and started throwing up and then shortly after my partner did as well and I had to take them to the emergency room and they said it was FOOD POISONING so today I called to talk to someone about it and try to get a refund as I dont wish to return and the food only lasted about 45 mins in are stomach till the toilet received it they were very rude and did not take accountability for anything simply saying there is no way we have food poisoning from there and that we know nothing about food safety even tho I do cus I worked for plenty of restaurants in my time then proceeded to ask if my partner was a man or female as if that matters then said they where sorry but it’s not there fault and it is hard to believe we didn’t eat all day and only there like sorry we aren’t fat asses and eat 24/7 I will be returning to talk to the owner tomorrow and proceed to ask for a refund and something done about the blaten disrespect and unprofessional way this situation transpired from something not so small to completely out of line 10/10 would not recommend EVER !!!!!!! P.S we have been going here on and off for the past 5 years and this has completely ruined any chances of us returning

There was one table of customers when we walked in and it still took over 30 minutes for us to get our food! Two of which were just salads. Maybe chicken takes twice as long to make, okay fine, I’ll accept that response…but our server was also EATING at the counter. Standing there, watching her phone and dipping something into ranch and into to her mouth, then wiping her hands on her pants and turning around to grab plates. It was nauseating to watch. She enjoyed plenty of food while we waited for ours. And she never washed her hands in the process.
Initially I was just wanting a dang refill for my coffee (which also never came) but after watching that for 30 minutes I truly wanted nothing that came from her hands.
We will NEVER be back.

We haven’t been to Johnny’s in years. We decided to give it a try since we heard it’s under new management. We got the sweet tea, flounder plate and bbq plate. Everything was spot on. It took a little bit to get our meal but the owner came out and saw people just had drinks and went back and got the food quickly. We will be back.

The fried squash is off the hook incredible. Could have eaten a 5 gal pale of it. Outside of that, I wanted fish but the ONE piece Flounder dinner was 12.99 & 2 piece 18.99 (Holy Schmoly) So we had bbq & burgers. Not bad. Really. Not bad. But not like, ooohh this is good. Not sure I found cheese on cheeseburger. Maybe a melted liquid dot. Chili & slaw not too bad. Bun was probably toasted but firm & dry. I hate dry buns. Bbq was just ok, hush puppies were very good. Overall, on the whole, other places that rise higher on the Wow Meter. But I’d probably go back for another test spin

Food was delicious. We moved in town and some recommended and some didn’t. We decided to take our chances and this place didn’t disappoint. My husband got the “all you can eat fried fish” and I got the barbeque plate. I enjoyed everything, except the beans. Didn’t like the ketchup type of sauce on them. Other than that, we’ll be going back to try something else in the menu.

Got there about 6 pm on a Sunday. They were slow maybe 5 tables had people at them. Waitress was quick to get to us and ask for our drinks very friendly. Took about 15 minutes after she took our food order to get our food,my food was cold when I received it. I got the country style steak which was not cube steak it was more like a is like a roast beef covered in gravy. The fried squash had a bunch of rock hard bits of battered crust at the bottom of my bowl.
Went to the restroom noticed the light switch hanging off the wall with the wires exposed, GFI was busted up and one of the metal supports In a stall was hanging down which i have included pictures to prove.
This was my 1st time eating there and possibly my last.
