Johnny's Tavern

The service was very good, we had Tate as our server.I had the Tank 7 burger, it tasted like it had quality ingredients but was too salty with all the seasonings, the Johnny Willson burger is a better choice. I used their Thursday daily deal for Bud-Light and a burger.Sports bar with many seating options, such as booths, tables, high tops, and bar--with plenty of TVs. There is outdoor seating available that is suited for winter temperatures.

Tried Johnny's for the first time, and it exceeded my expectations! The atmosphere was great, with plenty of seating options, including high tables, bar seating, booths, and even outdoor seating. There were tons of TVs throughout, and we even had our own mini TV right at our booth! Our server, Tate, was incredibly friendly, quick, and provided excellent service, answering all my questions. I went with the boneless wings in BBQ sauce and a side of onion rings--both were a great choice! I also tried a High Noon in peach flavor, which I haven't seen anywhere else, and it was delicious.

Had a family birthday here Saturday and the place was clean, the staff was super helpful and the extra room we got was amazing. It held 30 people comfortably. We ordered a pizza and the dough was so soft yet still crispy on the edges. It was huge as well. Large enough for us all to eat as a 4 top table.

As far as a recognizable local watering hole goes Johnny's Tavern is as regional Midwest as it can get...that is if you rep the Jayhawks of course since Johnny's is a Lawrence transplant that has been franchised. Just about in every suburb in Kansas City you can find a Johnny's, from Leawood to Lee's Summit. And the food and atmosphere is comparable at just about every location which makes it a recognizable experience just about every time. That consistency is key when it comes to sports bars because, when food quality and service depends on the day then it isn't a place you want to call your "home bar" but, Johnny's hasn't seemed to falter in years. This particular location came through for a win after a long day purusing Powell Garden (review to come later!) and definitely was a crowd pleaser. The chalkboard specials menu is where it's at! Just check it everytime you come in and be amazed and what you can find discounted, on this date the white cheese dip appetizer was $5 and the pork tenderloin sandwich was $9.99. We all indulged in some queso to start and I was pleased to find Space Camper on draft and once the chili, salad and sandwich came we were very delighted by the warm cheese and salty chips in our bellies. When looking for a tried and true go to in just about every big suburb around seek out a Johnny's Tavern and you will feel right at home!

This is the second year my team has held their Holiday party at Johnny's. Better than last year. The party room is great. Music can be shut down in the party space. Service was really good. The appetizers we had were excellent. I am especially fond of the fried pickles! There is a kick of heat in them. The nachos were great too, but my favorite is the chicken street tacos.The restrooms have a TV so you don't miss a moment of the game. They are clean and well stocked. The sink is really cool.

You know what's fun? Showing up to a bar and restaurant on a Friday to unwind. Chosing the bar, because you know, that's where the adults go to unwind. Then having a waitress on her day off come to find her husband drinking miller lites at the bar with her two infants. Her deciding to stay while the older kid runs all around the bar screaming, and the younger one just screaming because, you know, he's 14 months old in a bar. Yeah, her staying while the staff try to entertain the screaming kids and the husband just keeps on drinking those pops. Fun Friday. Of course, me tabbing out and going someplace else ruined that revenue stream, but that won't hurt the establishment, right?

I love the Jambalaya it's so well proportioned and just the right amount of spicy ness.

Great place to eat and unwind, great sports coverage and well positioned televisions so no bad seats in the house. Too this off with top shelf service makes Johnny's a good landing spot!

Lexi was our server. She was attentive and kind . At every avenue she was there to assist. If you go I would ask for Lexi !

This place was nasty. We spent $50 on a burger, tacos and fried pickles and left more than have of everything untouched. The fried pickles were beyond salty and the ranch was like water. The burger was very bland. The shrimp on the tacos was fine. Every single sauce they had either on the table or with our meals was disgusting. The jalapeño ranch and green salsa that was served with the tacos both tasted like olive juice? Gross. The bottles sauces on the table were also disgusting. Unfortunately the service was very slow on top of everything. Don't waste your money here.
