Johnny Black's Public House

I've had take out from this location a few times but today my daughter and I ate in! Great experience!! Most important is that we had my 17 month old Grandson with us and he was just as welcomed as we were. High chair bright immediately and he was kept busy by all the TVs. Of course they all had sports on! We were waited on right away and served quickly. We had the buffalo cauliflower as an app. Very tasty. My daughter had the fish and chips and I had the Chicken and Brussels Wrap. That wrap is very different and it was great!! One sad thing is that they have taken sweet potato tots and fries off the menu!!! Why???? Our waitress was so fantastic!! Her name was Savannah and she was so helpful and friendly! A great place for family or sports watching.

Mediocre bar foodOur food took 45 minutes on a Monday night and they didn't look particularly busy. Burger was pretty small, missing the onion aioli, and my parm garlic fries were cold. Rather than complain and have to wait any longer, I ate them anyways. Wouldn't go back. $100 for two adults and 2 kids is kinda wild for the food quality offered.

Finally! Another food chapter on the Roadtrip to the Parental Units!Honestly, I was headed for a different restaurant. Google Maps had me criss-crossing all over town, so I'm not surprised. However, it might have been fate that brought me to Johnny Black's Public House. Who am I to question?The patio space looked really nice, but the weather was in typical Michigan-mode, unsure if it wanted to rain or not. I stepped inside and moseyed myself to the bar. The bartender was already cleaning the spot in front of me and greeted me warmly.After a quick chat I ordered a tall Atwater Dirty Blonde (local brew) while she fetched the menu. The choices were too numerous to mention. I looked around but it was after lunch and I didn't see any plates for ideas. I decided to stick with the fish theme and ordered the grilled cod tacos. They arrived quickly and MAN, they were huge! See that picture? That's not a load of cabbage, my friends. These babies were loaded with fish, to the point that I made a mess and darn near wore my lunch. They tasted so good, I had to eat them all (though I was surprised that I finished them). The bartender checked on me a few times and was friendly to everyone around me, calling most folks by name. I can see why the regulars hang around here. Friendly service and good food would keep me coming back, too!

Fish tacos and their salads were tasty. Went during lunchtime so wasn't too hectic. They did unfortunately mix up some of our orders as we were a party of 5. Other than that, service was good and friendly. Would still come back.

Taco Tuesday FTW! Met a friend here for dinner. So glad I didHave been eating frozen pizza everyday and pretty sick of it I ordered the chicken taco dinner. Absolutely what I needed. Fresh ingredients, nice presentation, great service! Highly recommend you stop by on Taco Tuesday!!

We went to Johnny Black's this past Saturday night. The bar was pretty busy but there were plenty of open tables for us to pick from. We sat ourselves, which is fine, but it took about 20 minutes for anyone to come by to give us menus/take our drink orders. I normally wouldn't be too bothered by this but it didn't seem like they were short staffed and I made awkward eye contact with plenty of servers before anyone even came by to help us. We split a Detroit style pizza which was pretty good and they gave us plenty of ranch on the side. The only issue was that we had ordered roasted red peppers as a topping and we got red onions instead. I think this was the kitchen's fault since the bill did say red peppers once we got it back. The pizza was still good though and the garlic crust was delicious. It wasn't big enough of an issue for us to have to send it back or anything.Like I said, the bar was pretty packed and a few of the patrons were getting pretty rowdy, yelling across the bar and such. But that's what you should expect from a bar on a Saturday night so it depends on what kind of place you're looking for I guess!Overall, food was good. Service was mid. We didn't get napkins with our pizza and had to flag down our server to ask for some because he was going to keep going past us without checking in. It honestly didn't really seem like he cared at all.

We held a private event at Johnny Blacks on Baldwin in Lake Orion on Saturday. The managers there had the room set up exactly as we had requested and we were able to get in early to decorate. The food served at our buffet was excellent, the cakes they provided were beautiful and delicious, and our two servers couldn't have done a better job. They were always available and ready to take our drink orders, then delivered the drinks quickly and with a smile. The cost was very reasonable compared to other venues we researched, and they were very easy to work with. I highly recommend this restaurant for any private event!

Our first visit to Jonny Blacks, Miranda and Dominique waited on us, we had fantastic service and they were really friendly. Kara, the manager who introduced herself and asked if we were enjoying our visit. It makes a difference when you go into an establishment and the management and staff give you a god experience. No one knows if you had a bad day or not before you go into a place of business. Going into Jonny Blacks that night made our night enjoyable! We will be back!. Mike and Sheila

We absolutely love this place, and have been coming here for several years. The service is always great, the food is amazing, and we have never had any issues here in our numerous trips. We held our parents anniversary here with 60 guests and the private room was great. One of our favorite locals.

I ordered the spinach dip and a chicken Caesar wrap. Both dishes were pretty good and satisfying. The spinach dip was creamy and well-seasoned, making it a great starter. The chicken Caesar wrap was fresh and flavorful, with a nice balance of ingredients.While nothing particularly stood out to me as exceptional, the overall quality of the food and the friendly service made for an enjoyable meal. The ambiance of the restaurant was also welcoming and comfortable, which added to the positive experience.
