Johnny’s Other Side

Sit and wait, wait, wait, waitress approach, «sorry we are no longer serving food, you will have to go next door» aftrt waiting 45 minutes. Obnoxious loud drunks get served, everyone else gets ignored.

Well where to start… Heard that the place was great, drive by it seeing that it has good burgers well not the case. First it took a while to figure out how the seating was then the time it took to get the orders in was crazy. Almost every appetizer was unavailable due to «ran out of product» that’s just ridiculous I work in the same industry and would get in serious trouble for that. Our appetizer that we were able to order (Chips and queso) carne with maybe 15chips, clearly not enough for the microwave queso they serve… Along with waiting 30 minutes for the chips and queso is extremely ridiculous. Once the food was in almost an hour or so Minutes later we received our food. My burger came with a avocado that looked to be cut and out for over 2 hours… This place is total SHIT!!! I will never go back, I will be be sick to even drive by this location to go to work due to how bad this place is ran and maintained. Total Garbage, rather go to Taco Bell and eat there before here.

Food is ok. Your typically burger place. Nothing extraordinary but a good place for a few drinks and decent food… however, their service is atrocious. Very rude staff… took over an hour to get food and when it came it was not what we ordered. They were not very apologetic or nice about it either. Took another hour to find someone to get the check. Extremely inattentive and it wasn’t even that busy. Would have liked to order more drinks but no one came around, atmosphere is nice and could be fun but the service is so off putting I don’t think I’ll be rushing back anytime soon.

We’ve been back several times, hoping the service would get better, and it has. The servers have all been very attentive, and actually bring us a stir stick and sugar caddy with our coffee now. Lol
There food has been good too. I would now actually recommend this place for brunch.

Wasn’t impressed. We went here for brunch on a Sunday. We drove all the way from Kissimmee. We seated ourselves then sat there quite a while as waitresses walked by not looking at us. We had to finally go ask someone to serve us. The service after that was definitely less than stellar. My friends clear water cup was all brown on the bottom so she didn’t drink from it. After placing our order, another waitress brings us a small bowl of tater tots. None of us knew what it was for but she left too quickly for us to ask. We assumed maybe a free mini app? We said something to our waitress when she returned. She acted like it went to the wrong table & was going to take it until we said we had started eating it & we told her we’d just pay for it. Well, we figured out what it was when our meals came. All 3 of us had ordered a side of ‘tater tot hash brown casserole’. Apparently which was nothing more than tater tots ?! and it was my friends husbands tater tots we all ate. Whoops. (How is that a hash brown casserole & why was it brought out as an app?) There wasn’t any silverware and we had to ask for it. When the waitress brought us some, the napkins covering them were all matted and stained. It looked like they came from the bottom of the barrel. I was less than pleased with my meal. Aforementioned tater tots, unappealing eggs and an English muffin. Near the end, our waitress started being more attentive but it definitely wasn’t enough to change the experience. On the plus side, the mimosas were inexpensive & the DJ does a great job with the music. There was also football games on the TV. My friend’s husband kept apologizing as he said it had always been good during his previous visits. I’d come back for beers while watching the game, maybe a snack, but don’t think I’d eat brunch here again.

I came on a Tuesday with coworkers. Tuesday is half off all food and drinks (except for the specials). I got there around 4:30 and it was already busy. My group got one of the last big tables.
I got the ShipYard Pumpkin beer for $ 3. Good price.
I then got Freddy’s burger. I had high hopes for this burger but I was thoroughly disappointed. I ordered medium rare and it was closer to well done. The burger also had no flavor. There was a fried egg, bacon and avocado but I really didn’t taste much. It all tasted one note, even with ingredients that all have distinctive flavors.
In addition, it took FOREVER to get our food. Probably about 50 minutes. Our waitress was attentive but the kitchen should be prepared for large crowds on Tuesday.

Very good! I always come for the burger but tonight I had the jerkzilla bird bowl and salad. I loved both. The salad was fresh with lots of veggies, good lettuce, and avocado. You can relax and stay a while or be in and out if your in a rush.

Me and my friends picked this bar for my «moving away» get together. They explained that the last few times, there has been poor service. Well, I was able to see it for myself and they were right.
We called again to ask if my friend could bring her puppy and we could sit outside. We were also going there to watch the Orlando City game, which you could see perfectly from the upper deck. After getting our drinks (which took forever), they told us that we couldn’t have the dog on the upper deck and had to go sit on the lower deck. The lower deck was muggier and there was not a good view of a TV to watch the game. All of us were annoyed at the false information we were told on the phone.
Now that we were closer to the bar, we were getting dirty looks from one bartender. They would all talk to each other and laugh and look in our direction. I know I’m not just being paranoid because our service had gotten worse from that point on. The servers took forever and a day to bring our food/​drinks. They also seemed to have their nose in the air and never said a word or made eye contact when stopping at the table.
Needless to say, they really need to work on their customer service. They really just need to hire new bartenders and servers with some manners.

Good food. Good music. Creative parking.
We went here for our first time on a Tuesday. Pleasantly surprised to see it was 50% off day. Wifey and I got out of there for under $ 25 after food and drinks.
Place is old skool, which we liked. No AC, but plenty of mister fans which kept it reasonably comfortable for an August evening.
Would definitely go back again and highly recommend checking this place out.

If you had asked me a year ago about this place, I would have said it was awesome and recommended you to go. But after two awful visits recently, I had to write this review. I figured the first time was a fluke since I had been coming to this place for a while and never had a bad experience. After the second time, I decided it wasn’t worth wasting my money.
Okay, now here are the details on why:
First off, their menu is excellent and their food is great, that’s they only reason they get 2 stars instead of one. Their service is the reason why they are being rated so low and why I’m never going back. The first time we had a bad experience, we could barely get a server to look at us. They took our first drink order and food order quickly. After that, they never visited the table. My husband was waiting to order another beer but eventually gave up since no one showed up. We got our food and the person dropped it and left quickly. We decided to forgo a second drink and just get our check but we couldn’t see a server or flag anyone down for it. We waited and watched them help out other distant tables but quickly turn back to the bar before they even got near us. I eventually flagged down a waitress and waited another 15 minutes for our check. I would also like to add that the place was pretty much empty. It only had two other people eating/​drinking.
I went back a second time because I figured that last incident was a fluke. We went to watch an Orlando City Soccer away game. It was actually not incredibly busy for it being a bar playing an OCSC game on TV. We showed up early and secured a good spot. We got drinks immediately and settled in for the game. 10 minues before the game started we ordered food. We figured they’d be a bit busy so we’d be waiting for food. At half time (55 minutes after we ordered) we looked around and realized that people who came in after us already had their food. We didn’t immediately realize it because we had been watching the game. The waitress then says that they confused our order and just gave it to someone else so they’d have to reorder it again and we’d have to even more time to eat. We decided to just go since that was crazy and asked for our check instead. I think it was also crazy that they didn’t comp our entire check or at least give us 50% off our check for the food mix up. So we just paid for our drinks and left to another bar during the half time break of the game.
I really used to love this place and want to love it still but their service is so incredibly awful it’s hard to ignore it. They have great food and it’s located close to my apartment but it’s not worth waiting 30 minutes for a second beer or an hour for food.

I like this place a lot, especially on Tuesday!
The majority of this bar is outside, although there is a small bar in the front, and a few indoor tables. But the patio is very cool, with various size tables ranging from 2 tops, to long tables that can sit about 12.
The beer selection is excellent, with a very good variety on draft. They also have a full liquor bar. The menu is great and provides something for everyone. I really enjoy the Quesadilla’s (Chicken, Avocado, Basil), the Boom Boom Shrimp, and the (cat)Fish Tacos as far as appetizers go. However, they are really known for their burgers which are very good (and huge!). They also have great sandwiches.
I mention Tuesday specifically, as every Tuesday is «half off» night — meaning everything on the menu. That includes drinks, appetizers, dinners — EVERYTHING! Just make sure you get there early as it fills up quick. I believe the deal runs from 6 – 10.
If you’ve never been here I’d definitely give it a shot.

Worst dining experience ever. We arrived at 12:05 and did not leave until 1:30. Not due to us chatting or talking simply because our server took forever to bring the food, messed up our order and did not apologize or even give us an update on the status of our food & then One of our girls waited so long to receive her ranch that she just gave up and asked for a to go box. The rest of our food ended up getting cold since we had to wait on silverware which took about 10 minutes for her to bring it back.
At least the food was decent, because the experience was horrible!

Great food and environment. Went here for the Sunday brunch and had eggs benedict with fruit. It was perfect! Service was pretty slow, but other than that no complaints. Would definitely visit again for lunch and have some drinks!

I come here a lot for Thursday night trivia and want to love the food, but nah. The bar food is fair, but nothing special to here. The other food they seem to want to specialize in just isn’t all that good. I had a Cuban bowl the last time I was here. First off, the rice and beans were so little portion that I was very disappointed. The pulled pork on top was completely unseasoned. It was just like having a plain chicken breast thrown on top. It fell apart just perfectly and was cooked so well, but had ZERO seasoning to it. My friend next to me kinda chuckled and said he was wary of that dish, so instead he ordered some pulled pork tacos. When they came, he had the same problem. Completely unseasoned meat. He apologized for joking about my food as his was just as bland. So sad they could cook it so well but prepare it so poorly.

I’m not quite sure how going here ruined both Johnny’s for me, but it did. I got almost the same food as at Johnny filling station but it was tasteless and rubbery and the service was even worse than the food.
It was so bad I am only posting this review because I am shocked by how much I enjoyed Johnny filling station in comparison to how much I didn’t like this place… will probably not be back to either one now. I know everytime I drive by I get a sense of dread from this bad experience.

ah, what a dive!
This place is great! Eat outside, great bar food and many on tap beers. Met some of my family here and just had a great night.
So I pull up and it looks like a mix between a couple of barns and a picnic area. Plenty of eclectic decorations that add the to great atmosphere. In the land of crappy, franchise, same olé same olé crap, this place rocks.
Oh, food too! We dug into some fried pickles and the tuna cerviche to start. So the cerviche was more like tuna tatare but was freakin awesome. Who would have thought that some dive bar would have amazing ahi (not me — duh)? The fried pickles were pretty cool too. Not chips but kosher wedges that gave a nice sour finish after a satisfying initial crunch. On to the main stage, I went with the Jalapeño Burger. It was delicious, juicy and flow down the side of your face satisfying!
Wonder what the poor bastards at the house of mouse are eating tonight? Come here!

This isn’t a place you go to for a romantic meal — this is all about getting wings, having a cute waitress, and throwing back beers while playing a game of pool.
In that regard, it absolutely succeeds. But the food is classic diner fare, and won’t blow you away. If you’re looking to grab some burgers while pre-​gaming, come here.
Service at this location is always better than the Filling Station with the outdoor seating, so I prefer to come here.

Every time I go here, I always expect typical bar/​burger joint food. And every time, I’m reminded how good they truly are. Last night I had the burger, which was exceptional. But usually I go and have the chicken wrap which they make with fresh avocados and fresh mango salsa. I’ve also has amazing corn fritters, so sweet and made with whole pieces of corn.
The only weird part is the service, it’s always amazing, until the end. When we were all ready to go, the waitress never came by. We waited for 20 minutes to get our check. But still, the food and drink service was fast and sufficient.

Took a trip to the infamous Johnny’s Fillin’ Station. Met up with a group of people at the «Other Side» and I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is very laid back the seating is open, not extremely comfortable but you can make due. Lots of seating and the waitresses are very nice. They have a wide range of beers on tap and also have wines and mixed drinks available. For being an outdoor bar and not completely covered it’s pretty clean. The only complaint that stops this from being 5 star is that it took forever to get our food and when it did come our appetizers weren’t hot anymore. Make sure you get the fried mushrooms! Yum!!!
Parking was a little stressful. There is some parking and some over flow but when that’s filled up you are in some trouble. I would suggest getting there early before the happy hour/​dinner crowd arrives. I’ve been told the burgers are epic! Definitely trying them when I go back.

I really bounce back and forth here because I do love Johnny’s. It’s just the food is hit and miss.
It’s a perfect hangout for Tom and Dan fans, and they have even kept the real man burger on the menu. More on that in a minute.
They have some great beers on tap. One of my favorites is Cigar City Jai Alai.
There are plenty of places to sit outdoors and enjoy the weather we’ve been having lately. This was also the place for Snootsgiving this year and it proved to be an epic night at a wonderful venue. Thanks for hosting!
Now the menu.
The real man burger is pretty tasty. It’s a huge tower of ingredients including, a fried egg, ham, mushrooms, bacon, cheese and of course the beef patty. It’s about 21 dollars but it comes with a Tom and Dan Real Man Shirt.
I’m curious though if you go back and already have the shirt, can you get the Real Man burger for cheaper if you want to forgo getting another shirt?
The fries are addicting. Kudos
The Epic Fatty burger is good but I’m concerned about the cheese on it, it’s globby and I think it’s primordial ooze just pretending to be cheese.
The BLT EVO which is a BLT with Avocado is good but it needs more bacon, and a bit crispier. Less lettuce. Everything else about it was good and there was plenty of avocado as well.
This is a great hangout and everyone should take advantage of the outside seating during amazing weather, and order a beer on tap and try some food.
