Johnny's Tavern

Great spot! I am not familiar to this area but this was recommended as a good sports bar with good food. I would say both are correct. We waled in and we were greeted immediately, we chose to sit at the bar. Clean environment with good energy for a Monday! We were greeted promptly at the bar as well! I ordered the 78 burger with brussels sprouts and side. salad. All came out together with my co-workers meal and everything tasted great! Bar tenders were attentive and friendly. Reasonable prices, great service, clean environment and a good atmosphere. My co-worker agreed. I would go back!

Great place to watch a game...but we are EAGLES FANS....GO BIRDS...we saw the Kansas Jayhawks game earlier in the day at Allen Fieldhouse...Great 60th Birthday bucket list...ROCK CHALK

Delicious fried chicken. Love the hush puppies too. Fries are amazing. The service is good too. Is a little loud, but I don't mind it, people are having fun.

First, was visiting Lawrence and went out for dinner late Friday (after 10pm). Many places weren't open (for food - bars stayed open), and we gradually headed up to Johnny's. It was after 11 before we got there.We sat and ordered the fried pickles/jalapeños combo, and then placed our orders - though they are known for burgers, I changed my mind at the last moment to the pork tenderloin sandwich with tater tots. The waitress came back shortly and said she didn't realize the time and that they close down the grill (except pizza) at 11, but the manager came and told us they'd go ahead and make our meal.The pickles and jalapeños were good - very lightly battered and fried, with some dip (ranch?). The tenderloin was big as expected - with lettuce, tomato (small one), onion, and pickles. I cut it down to bun size to eat. It was breaded, not battered, and very much seemed like eating breaded fish or shrimp. I prefer battered food, and this detracted from the pork tenderloin for me. It was ok, but I only ate the bun sized part. The tater tots were very crispy and crunchy and tasty. I went there to try a burger and should have stuck to my guns. I will likely try again some time in the future, but don't get back to Lawrence much. Additional note that despite the past-11 snafu, the waitress was really nice and helpful - great service!

I've been to multiple locations for Johnnys. Love the food, relaxed vibe, and reasonable prices. Staff is friendly and prompt. I feel like you just can't go wrong here.

Fun place. Food is better than I expected Live music on the patio was great Lots of fun

Johnny's is a Lawrence and KU Sports instiution. It is _the_ place to watch games with friends, and their beer and food selection is rather good.I've been going to Johnny's for over a decade, and it holds that real charm of being "divey" while still maintaing a level of charm and comfort that makes it a real welcoming place. When in season, Mrs. R and I love to meet up with friends to catch basketball games (and occasional football games) at Johnny's. There are enough screens around the bar and dining rooms that there aren't any bad seats, and the level of excitement and cameraderie that comes with the crowd is enough for anyone to feel like they are watching with a unified crowd of fans that rivals the energy of Allen Fieldhouse.I am a really big fan of Johnny's pizza. Johnny's does a great hand-tossed dough, and you can sometimes spy the workers slinging and spinning the dough around in the kitchen. They top that thin-stretched dough out on a giant pizza peel and lay on a thin layer of sauce, and a reasonable sprinkling of cheese and toppings. The pizzas only come in one size, and that is BIG. The overall effect of the stretched dough and a super-hot oven leads to a thin and crispy crust that is topped by a perfect layer of sauce and cheese in a pleasant ratio. I rank a fresh and hot Johnny's pizza as one of my top 5 pizzas, with the crispy and chewy worked crust as a siginificant factor in my favoring. Johnny's (and its franchises) have a beer that is made exclusively for them -- Johnny's Blue Collar Lager, which is a solid and drinkable beer.When KU basketball is on, I don't have to be asked twice if I want to go to Johnny's.

Amazing Buffalo chip dip just needed more chips, a must get. Beer selection ok. Pizza was solid. Lots of tv's.

I LOVE Johnny's Tavern! I always visit when I am in KC or Overland Park. The service is great and I love their pizza. A must visit if you visit KC or Overland Park!

Disappointed! Guess I got the bottom of the Sweet potato fry basket. Lots of small & random pieces. Also, paid for a dozen wings & got a small bit of blue cheese. Definitely won't "cover" 12 wings. What if I had ordered the half dozen, would I have gotten any blue cheese?I did enjoy the beer while waiting. But the food was a disaster, especially for $20!
