Johny’s II

Nice place. We went there for the first time today. Kids had the spinach salad and enjoyed them, my daughter especially liked the heavy bacon. no such thing as too much bacon. My wife had the Italian beef and enjoyed it. She’s had problems with some places over cooking the beef, but this was good.
I had the beef sub. The meat was good quality, the veggies were fresh and the bread was good as well. What really surprised me was the mango smoothie. It was the mango-​est smoothie I’ve had.
There were other customers while we were there, but the wait was reasonable for carry out. Place also was clean and comfortable.
So we’ll be going back.

great food and best breakfast in the area w/​reasonable prices and real good value meals

This place is located very closely to my job. I have gone there a total of three times and every time has been bad. I have not gone back. I am a huge supporter of local businesses, but this place is horrible.
First visit– I ordered a salad over the phone, because I was on break at work. I work 2 minutes down the street, and I was only in the place for a few minutes. As soon as I left, I instantly smelled of fried food and all my coworkers were commenting on that. I opened the bag, which had a huge oil stain on it, because they tossed dressing in my bag but did not close it. When I salvaged that mess, I opened the salad container, and the salad was soaking wet with water (as if they cleaned the lettuce but never dried it.) At this point, I had about 5 minutes left of my break, and I ate as much as I could of that horrid salad. I threw most of it away. I then went for the bread, which was moldy on the bottom. Threw that away instantly. I was very angry.
Second visit– I shunned them off, but my coworkers kept saying how good it was and I should give it another try with something else besides a salad. So, I got a Philly cheese steak with everything on it. The doors were open, so I did not leave smelling like fried food. I was on a break again, picked up my food and drove back to work. That’s when I realized they did not give me the correct order. It was only a steak and bread. Nothing else on it. Unfortunately, I did not have time to go back and get a fixed order.
Third visit– This was the last chance I was giving them. I placed an order for a hamburger and jalapeño poppers. I called in 15 minutes before I was about to be on break. I ended up being late and not being able to pick my food up until about 25 minutes after I called. I figured, my food was waiting for me, and I’d go in and pick it up and be on my way. I first got there, there was a cashier (which there wasn’t before). She told me my order wasn’t ready. Again, I am on a quick break at work. I waited another 20 minutes. There were a lot of people in there, but they were all waiting or eating. Every time I asked about my order (not in a rude way, I mean, I did expect it to be done) they kept saying to wait, but remember, I was watching the clock so I could get back to work in time. They finally gave me my food. I drive to work and eat super fast. The burger was cold not too fresh and you can tell that was done when I first called. Then the poppers were very mediocre.
I have had too many rough experiences with that place to ever recommend it to anyone. It was a nice try for Park Forest, but they are too confused there.

Is it really that hard to get a simple order correct?
My husband just came home with lunch. He was the ONLY person in there placing an order. One worker was leaning against the counter watching TV. Another man took his order. He ordered two sandwiches and two orders of fries. Pretty simple, right? Apparently not.
One hot dog — everything EXCEPT ketchup and mustard. One Italian sausage — dry. Two orders of fries. Easy.
After waiting more than 10 minutes for his order, he brings it home.
Hot dog? NOTHING BUT KETCHUP AND MUSTARD. That’s it. Just ketchup and mustard slathered all over the hot dog and bun. Completely inedible for a person like me who hates ketchup and mustard.
Italian sausage? SOAKED bread. Sopping wet. Falling apart. He pulled the sausage out of the bread and ate it after scraping the soggy bread off of it.
The fries? Cold. We live in the co-​ops, 3 minutes away.
Inexcusable. We will not return. Zero stars if it was an option.

Glad to see PF now has a food spot to call their own, and more power to Johny’s as they stay and prosper. First, the service is great. Family owned and operated, they welcome people and offer up great grub from their kitchen. The inside of the restaurant is clean, complete with small tables and a few booths for optional dine-​in. Bathroom serves it’s purpose. Now on to the food… The super gyro is a must. Little bit of lettuce, thinly sliced onion, tomato, gyro meat, and FETA in a pita with cucumber sauce. Italian beef is homemade and hefty. Chicken wings are hot and crispy when fresh (bbq sauce on side is great). Try this place for quick and tasty food!
