Dear Johnny Boy Family, We are writing to share that we experienced a fire at our restaurant in late evening on 1/29/2026. Most importantly, we want to confirm that this happened when the restaurant was closed so no one was hurt. While the damage is being assessed, we will be temporarily closed until further notice. We are working closely with the respective agencies and restoration experts to get back to serving you as soon as possible. We are incredibly grateful for the quick response of PG Fire Department and the outpouring of support from our neighbors. Please follow us on Google and our website for updates on our reopening. With gratitude, Johnny Boy Team
Known for its ribs, this longtime BBQ joint also offers sandwiches, wings & homemade cakes & pies.

They are the most welcoming bunch of people! Family owned and generation carried this restaurant has held the Nations Capital down for decades! The most underrepresented business in DC! They are the first to bring real BBQ to the DMV!

Potato salad was tasteless, greens taste like water down glory greens from the can.
Seafood salad was a complete disappointment with imitation crabs and is missing real seasoning.
Ribs was flavorful and cooked to perfection.
Atmosphere needs a face life. Not a place I would hang out for too long. Grab my food and go home to heat.

Delicious!! Can I say that one more time…DELICIOUS!!! This was my first but not my last time here. Got a little bit of everything since I didn’t know what to get. The prices are reasonable (affordable). The minced bbq with spicy sauce and coleslaw on the side is the way to go. Get some of those ribs. Mmmmmm. I promise you you won’t be disappointed. Then end it off with some wings. I swear I think they just took them out the grease (in other words they were fresh and hot). This place is a must do. Come. Eat. Enjoy.

So i haven’t eaten here in years but had my taste buds for that 1 rib and sauce When i got my tray smelled delicious but when i went to taste that 1 rib so unsatisfying the meat was wet like what happen to the smokey taste and flavor taste of salt . i hate it and the seasoning is not the same .

Bought some ribs from here yesterday, and they were meatless, uncharted, raw, and unseasoned. The sauce was more than Red Hot Sauce mixed with what tasted to me like tomato sauce. It was horrible, and some place I highly recommend not wasting your money on. Never again, and we paid 20.00 for four meatless ribs.

Basic BBQ joint, but man do those wings hit!!!!! The ribs are perfect. I don’t know what they do to get that weird, sweet-spice flavor in their sauce, but it’s amazing and I can’t imagine chicken wings without it. I have been coming here off and on for the last 25 years and will continue to do so as long as it stays in business. Anytime I’m in DC or PG county. I always roll through here.

**** these are NOT the ribs I use to buy back in the day ****
I haven’t been here since the football season ended last December; however, wanting to continue the tradition, I decided to get some ribs, (Jonny Boy’s)
when I pulled up, one of the workers was outside with his buddy smoking weed, as I order my food, dude came in didn’t wash his hands and proceeded to cut up my ribs, shaking my head I told them NOT!! to give me those old looking ribs, but when I got home, that’s what I had, 2 slabs of OLD Ribs, $67.25 wasted
they tasted like chewy meat!!!, bone was broken on the end so you know they were old
don’t know if it’s under new management, I did notice they finally started using a POS machine, so you don’t need to have cash on you when you go to the hood, I wish I would’ve used my credit card; I would have back charged all of the Mess!!
**** I’m done with these folks ****
