This wasn’t bad for little ol Salado! I ordered the BBQ chopped brisket loaded potatoes, which were tasty. However, they weren’t served hot—just warm—and the cheese never really melted. If you prefer BBQ that leans toward the sweeter side, this dish is definitely for you. Overall, it was decent, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste.
We initially ordered the double chicken fried steak but received a single instead. Fortunately, our waitress was quick to remove the charge from our ticket, which I appreciated. The steak was somewhat tough, but the green beans served as a side were amazing. The banana pudding was a little different. It was mixed with cottage cheese and probably not the best in my opinion. Overall, I would consider giving this place another try.

PROS: Our waitress. She was attentive, welcoming and awesome.
CONS: There is a sign that states, be prepared to wait, however it makes it hard to be patient when people who come in 15 min after gets served first. We waited a good 1hr 45 min for food. It was nasty. The sauce was good- vinegar based. But the BRISKET was SWEET and cold! Hubby ordered steak n shrimp with mac and green beans. All cold. Other members ordered catfish, chicken fried steak etc. All food varied in temp, and we bland. All the SnP, and sauce didn’t help.
Maybe burgers are their thing?

Probably one of the worst meals we’ve had in a while… everyone was really nice and it was extremely busy. This seems like a hometown favorite however if you are from out of town and expecting great flavors and jam packed Texas BBQ this is not it… we started off with the poutine fries and they were okay but the gravy had no flavor I assume because it’s a premade mix that got watered down. My spouse and me got a gift card here from our parents so we were eager to eat at this steakhouse. We ordered steaks with sides. Both our steaks came out well one ordered a medium steak and the other ordered medium well. My spouse didn’t want to send his back but needed sauce on his steak to be able to finish. I choked twice on my steak and we said that was enough. The macaroni and cheese made us so upset it genuinely is Kraft or velveeta. Nothing wrong if you enjoy that but for a restaurant I expected more. The mashed potatoes had no flavor due to the gravy not tasting like anything. Our meal was $80. We had a $100 gift card and just gave the waiter the rest of the $20 because we won’t come back. Disappointed our parents paid for this meal to this place. Don’t waste your money if you expect great taste and flavor. If your ok with hometown and premade gravy or velveeta Mac and cheese this is ok. However the turkey 1/4 was very good but came out cold it was supposed to be bbq but didn’t have any bark or anything but was the best thing we ate tonight.

My wife and I have been here twice now, we stumbled across Johnny’s while visiting friends in the area.
I can’t say enough about how great the food has been, the wait staffs attention to the customers and the atmosphere at Johnny’s as a whole.
After our first experience I mentioned this place to co-workers from the Dallas area and was told Johnny’s is a Texas institution!
I’m hoping to be able to take in one of Johnny’s music shows on another trip to Texas. Some good acts have been through here.
If your thinking of going to Johnny’s, do yourself a favor and stop on in, with a big appetite!

Their mesquite grilled cheddar burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, if not THE best. Crazy good. Staff is very nice. Atmosphere is great. Loved it.
P.S. special thanks to the Harry’s on the Creek bartender. She told me to go here, since they don’t serve food and a place nearby was closed.

2 things happened here on our first visit. First, we found my husband’s greatest burger. And 2nd I met a dessert I’ve never thought about my whole life and now will never stop thinking of it. I always laugh when I pull into a gravel/dirt parking lot because I know I’m in for a treat. Johnny’s is a vibe Y’all! You wanna eat in a sit-down restaurant with awesome vintage signage. Go ahead. You wanna head over to a super fun cantina setting and get the same food? Go ahead. You wanna do all that AND see a concert? This is the place. The Mesquite Burger quickly became something the husband couldn’t stop talking about. To quote ” 100% a 10 out of 10.” The fried cheese curds were delicious. I fell in love with the pecan cobbler. I’ve never had or heard of pecan cobbler. I’m a pie freak so I figured it would be comparable. Wrong! It was amazing. It was sweet. It was gooey. It was cobblery. It was a perfect ending to a really great lunch at Johnny’s. Shout out to our wonderfully helpful server, Faith. She was awesome.

Johnny’s is always a nice place to eat along with great customer service, always recommend for their amazing food! Great tasting and reasonably priced. A great place to get away from all the other BBQ chains.

Today was a different day for the establishment. The bbq was awesome EXCEPT the chicken. The bbq chicken was tough so tough it could be a bouncer at the local club! The Server was great, and the atmosphere was awesome! It feels as if the food was hurriedly made and served. Food is usually good but not today!! Maybe today was just an off day for the kitchen..

I’m from a small town in the atmosphere here reminded me of home. Lots of real folks eating real food.
My wife had the chicken fried steak with tater tot casserole and a salad.
Our daughter had the ribs and brisket two meat plate with french fries and coleslaw.
I devoured a medium rare 16 oz ribeye that was most excellent.
Oh and I had two cold beers….
Everything about it was just great. We appreciate this place.
Tonight the fries were just so so. Our waitress forgot about us several times including our to-go order of brisket which should take about 2 minutes but ended up taking about 20.
That being said, this is one of my favorite spots and we’re going to be back soon.
June 2025 came back for amazing cheeseburgers.
