Johnny's World Famous Chicken & Waffles

Wife and I went on a Saturday afternoon and it was lit! This spot is owned by the singer/songwriter/artist Neyo, and the atmosphere was on point with the live music(people even got up and did some line dances)! Ivy did a great job taking care of us at the bar, and the manager Vic was really cool and checked on us a couple of times to make sure we were enjoying ourselves.Pros: Food came out quickly, food seasoned tasted great, drinks tasted great, service and atmosphere were outstanding(live dj is something I hope they keep), small line at the door but not a long wait, and open seating at the bar.Cons:1. Food comes out quickly, but it wasn't piping hot indicating to me it wasn't freshly made to order(I'd rather wait longer for my food and have it made to order).2. I ordered the chicken & waffles. You can order traditional pieces of chicken, tenders, or just wings. I got the wings but they were 3 small whole wings. If they are going to be small, I should get 4-5 wings. The waffle was kin to a Waffle House waffle, so it tasted good (both regular and pecan were very good). The problem with this type of waffle is you can't cover it in syrup or it gets way too soggy. They should upgrade to a Belgian waffle and get bigger wings for a $22 entree.3. We went on a Saturday at 12:30 and paid $5 for parking, but it was actually free. I know Neyo can afford a sign the says "free parking for restaurants customers."4. This HAS TO STOP: STOP putting an automatic 18% service charge/tip on the ticket with telling us--not cool. I understand on parties of 6-8 or more, but it was me and my wife sitting at the bar. Too good of a concept, service, food etc to slip slip something in that could be interpreted as shady.They are opening a location in Ft worth next month, and I'm looking forward to trying that one too! I would recommend this place for a date or just hanging out with your friends. I heard the kale greens are marinated in beer overnight the. Seasoned the next day, and EVERYONE said the Mac & cheese & shrimp & grits are.

I was across the street at the Canvas Hotel (check out their rooftop bar has an incredible view of Dallas!) when I spotted this chicken and waffles spot and had to check it out.First off, the service from KC was outstanding. I went with the wings and red velvet waffle, and the waffle did not disappoint--the cream cheese butter took it to the next level, making me crave more. The chicken was tasty but a bit on the greasy side and smaller than expected. As for the mac and cheese, I'd skip it--it just wasn't great.My only issue is the ventilation. I shouldn't walk out smelling like fried chicken just because the kitchen vent can't keep up with their fantastic service.I'll definitely be back to try something else, but probably after a show or if I'm heading straight home--because carrying that fried chicken aroma around isn't exactly ideal!

We came across this spot after going to a Mavs game and weren't ready to end the night yet. It was a Friday night and learned they are open until 1 on the weekend and also have a DJ, Friday and Saturday night. The DJ was on point and he played jams all night. Our waitress Brooke was great too, it was our first time so she educated us on the menu and gave us her recommendations. The restaurant is cute too, they have plenty of tables, they have cute decor, and a full bar! They also have quite a few of speciality drinks and from what my friend shared, they were amazing. I had given blood that day so I was limited on what I could drink. The only reason I gave them a 3 was because of the food. Now I will say it is generous portions but it is a little pricey. I shared a plate with my friend because neither of us were super hungry. We shared a traditional breakfast plate. It included, a waffle, eggs, potatoes, and bacon. I don't eat meat, so I tried the waffle, eggs and potatoes. They waffle was decent but it was a little dense not fluffy but it was big. The eggs and potatoes were super salty..I couldn't finish either. My friend said the bacon was even salty. My other friend got the chicken wings and waffle. She said the wings were salty too but she was able to finish it. I would go back, but I would make sure to say little salt and would definitely get a drink.

Came here with my friends to celebrate February Birthdays. The staff arranged the tables to accommodate our group. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. I ordered the chicken and waffles, the waffles are crisp on the outside with a soft chewy center. The ambiance is a happy vibe with hip hop and r&b.

Be aware that the hours listed for the business are not correct. We went on a a Friday night, after the game, looking for a place to grab something to eat and get a drink. The hours listed here showed them closing at 11pm, however we were told that they are actually open till 1. With that said we walking in and were told that we can sit anywhere we wanted. Took a seat and waited for someone to come take our order. Brooklyn was absolutely fantastic - she was knowledgeable about the menu, gave suggestions and was also the bartender. On this particular night, there was also a DJ, so the vibe was right. I decided to share a meal with a friend as neither of us were really hungry - she doesn't eat meat and we both wanted to try the waffle. I also ordered the stiff arm, which I was glad I got the smaller one because it packed a punch. The food came and this is where my issue was - if you have ANY concerns about your blood pressure, rethink eating here because EVERYTHING was salty and it's something that all three of us agreed about. I asked for my bacon to be crispy however I got some bacon that could be considered burnt. It had an ashy taste but it was SALTY to the point where I couldn't even eat it. The waffle was disappointing - I didn't think anyone made a thinner waffle than WH, however these waffles fell flat. As I said, everyone was extremely nice, I'd go back and get a drink but we gotta work on the food because my blood pressure can't handle it. Also note that they automatically charge gratuity to your check.

Attentive, superb customer service, and quality food!!! Check check check!I came here today to try out their brunch and I'm glad I came!I got the chicken wings and the pieces were a very nice size!!! Also very flavorful! My waiter Donyae was great. He made recommendations and was alert and attentive to our needs! The food also came out very fast!I got the red velvet, would definitely get it again! It's light doesn't make you feel like you stuffed yourself or ate very heavy! It was my favorite!The drinks were flavorful, light pours. The ambiance was decorated very nice, perfect for pics!There was also a dj that came at 12

This is the definition of a turn up brunch spot. We went on a Saturday afternoon and the music was good but pretty loud. Staff were courteous and positive, the ambiance was fun (lots of like dancing, and the food was pretty good. We got the chicken and waffle (waffle was the star there), fried shrimp basket with fries (excellent), and mac & cheese (pasta too soft). Overall, we had a really good time and would definitely return.

Our server was nice. We got the loaded fries, the Mac attack, the fish and chips, red velvet waffle & chicken. We also got drinks. Food was, to me...average. Especially for how long we waited. Then to have a manager come up to us and say, "hey do yall have everything yall need we have two big parties waiting." This really dimmed the experience. That's rude to me because we waited longer than how long we physically sat in the restaurant. Also, our drinks were not finished. Like damn can we finish the drinks before we are rushed out the door? We were a group of 8 , so the auto grat did make sense. Probably will not be back though.

Food is always amazing and drinks were good and strong. Star was our server and was amazing, ask for her

Food and service were good however the music was entirely too loud. It was so loud that we had to just text each other to communicate.
