- SSSierra SamuelsDec 17, 20255.0I want to start off by saying every single staff member was very kind but the star of the show had to have been our server Trace! Trace was quick, VERY attentive and showed us his awesome personality! Trace is the best server I've ever met! As far as the food goes, they had the best catfish ever! The breading was perfect and the pieces were huge! We both got the 4 piece catfish filets and it was delightful! Besides the catfish I would say the hush puppies and fried green tomatoes were the best! The coleslaw is sweet (I personally liked it) and the beans were mid in my opinion (could have used more seasoning and a little less soupy.) I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes and catfish! I could probably get 2 orders of just the tomatoes honestly haha! The only negative thing I have to say about my experience is all the servers and I believe a cook or someone else was standing there watching everyone eat which made me a little uncomfortable. But in the big picture its not a deal breaker or anything. I still HIGHLY recommend Johnny's if you want great seafood with a friendly atmosphere at a unbeatable price! Again! Shoutout to Trace, the best server in the world! :)
- FBFreddie BoyDec 10, 20251.0I came here and ordered a 6 piece catfish but got a 6 piece swai instead. It had little to no seasoning and was really bland. The sides were bland also but the fries were ok. They should not advertise their fish as catfish.
