Customer Reviews
Ordered the filet and was really disappointed. The steak had almost no flavor and the texture felt off compared to a normal filet. It didn’t seem like a typical single cut of tenderloin. Service was fine though, and after I mentioned the issue they gave me 50% off, which I appreciated. This was my second time going there for dinner and I probably won’t do dinner again. That said, I do really love their breakfast.
Our office is very close to Johnny's and we go quiet often. The owner Johnny is always there and sometimes you will see him walking around the dining rooms checking on things. His wife is also present usually and ensures everyone is having a great time. The food here is amazing and the best Italian on the island. I recommend the Calamari or any of their Veal specials. They also make an amazing Chicken Parm. We love the atmosphere, it is classy but relaxed. Also, they have a DJ there that is out of this world (I believe his name is also Johnny) and our office loves to come when he is there! Fun for all. I would not bring kids here, that is not the vibe at all. They are also open for breakfast, and I think that is one of the best on the island as well. I recommend Johnny's to many of the peo
Cute place to eat! Had calamari and lamb chops as appetizers both were good. The lamb chops were the best for sure. The food was great. I wish the wine selection was a little better. The sparkling rose from Bordeaux was sweet but not labeled on the menu as “demi-sec” so I didn’t notice until I sipped it. The veal was exceptional and the pasta cooked perfectly. The portions were large and we left with boxes. Would absolutely come back here and recommend.
Love love love this place! The food is always wonderful. The staff is quick, knowledgeable, and kind. The menu is regularly updated with fun new dishes and drinks, but they always keep the classics around! My personal fave is the bow tie rosemary pasta dish for dinner and the scorpion cocktail for a fun night out!
I had a horrific experience at Johnny’s Cafe in Margate City over the weekend. I had ordered the Lamb Lollipops and they arrived significantly over cooked. It was so chewy, I felt like I was chewing gum. The server apologized and said they would cook some new lamb. However, the new lamb they brought out was inedible. It was so RAW, that a great Veterinarian could’ve brought it back to life. See the attached photo, this is not even legally able to be served. To make matters worse, the server nor anyone came to check on us and see if the lamb had been cooked properly. These people don’t have a care in the world. Maybe they will start to have a care when these pictures / videos are submitted to the New Jersey Dept. of Health / Atlantic County Division of Public Health. Totally unacceptable an
