First off, Where was my foil??!! We have eaten here since the place opened! What has happened to the food quality? Food was soggy and mushy from the Cole slaw! Fish was dark and the grease tasted old. Mac n cheese was bland with a side of cole slaw juice in it! Shrimp wasn't clean, tasted grits, then looked, poop sac still inside. We bought 6 plates, a fish sandwich, and 12 hush puppies on the side, it totaled $98! I expected better! 🤦‍♀️

Good ole southern food , fried , seasoned , and cooked with love. This is happy food , healthy is not here. However you will leave feeling like you just ate at grandmas , be prepare to take a nap after a meal from Johnnys . The bbq is very good , nothing like NC bbq done the right way . The hush puppies are always hot and delicious. The sweet tea is dark and sweet like southern iced tea was intended to be . This place is the real deal!

Gluten-free friendly, if you ask what foods to eat. Delicious barbecue, chicken and pork. Amazing broccoli salad and coleslaw.

I ordered take-out from this location. The ordering process was poorly managed and caused unnecessary delays, which was frustrating. That said, the food itself was very good. I had the trout family dinner with sweet potato and cornbread rings. Everything was well seasoned, tasty, and generously portioned. The food was good enough that I’d order again, especially if the service improves

The BBQ served at Johnny's has that distinctive vinegar-based flavor (enhanced with a little sugar and red pepper). Service is cafeteria style, so it's fast - and you get to see what you are ordering. Seating is comfortable and spacious, and the staff super friendly and helpful. On our first visit we tried the Barbecue and Stew Combo ($10.99) and Fried Shrimp Friday Special (Small $12.49 / Large $13.99). Both included two sides and choice of Hushpuppies, Corn Sticks or Bun. The Hushpuppies were perfectly seasoned - crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The Corn Sticks were a little dry - but tasty. Portions were generous, and the BBQ was excellent; but the Brunswick Stew was not good. It was watery and had a disagreeable flavor. The Potato Salad was simple, but satisfying. The C
