Johnny's BBQ

Randomly found this place while driving around on our honeymoon. Passed it twice and each time the parking lot was jumpin so we decided to stop in for dinner. Let me tell you, it was worth it! Walk in and its immediately obvious this is a local joint that only worries about the food and not the ambiance. Which is perfect: spend less time ensuring your tables match and more time focused on your bar-b-q. Service was friendly without being obnoxious, you order at the counter and they bring you the meal. We decided to get two 2 meat plates so we could try all four meats (math is fun!). The plates come with two sides, so we got the classics: mac n cheese, potato salad, black eyed peas and okra gumbo. Everything was fantastic. Juicy brisket, fall off the bone ribs and chicken and the sausage was amazing! The sauce is a great compliment to the meat, it doesnt cover up the flavor like some chain restaurants need to do. We got the peach cobbler for dessert and while it was tasty, we both would have preferred it warm instead of cold. Overall this place is worth the drive out and we will be back next time we are in the area.

Gem of a place that serves delicious home cooking. From catfish to juicy burgers, you can't go wrong. They also serve daily specials and homemade pie.

Headed back to Houston from a mini getaway in Bandera and stopped in at Johnny's BBQ. I had the sliced brisket with potato salad and my husband had the ribs. Both brisket and ribs had a good flavor. The sauce was just right for me as well, not too sweet and not too savory. We ended the meal with a slice of their homemade pecan pie. It was delicious with just the right amount of sweetness. All pies are homemade and looked fabulous, just didn't have the stomach room to try them all.Service was good. Ambiance is what you would expect for a BBQ joint off the beaten path, small, old and a little rustic.

What does it mean when you place your order at a Texas BBQ place, then you realize that everyone around you is eating chicken? I ordered a chopped brisket sandwich and received what my husband says is a "hash" sandwich... finely shredded beef mixed with other stuff. I am a Texan and this is not an acceptable chopped brisket sandwich. The fried okra and apple pie were nice and so was my friend's chicken strips (very juicy and nice!). All they need to do is change the name of the sandwich and all would be fine. Please... order the chicken.

Johnnys is just plain, simple home food. Their daily specials are fantastic! We eat/get to go often, always really good comfort food. Don't expect fancy, because it is not. But nice people and simple food. The chicken fried steak is some of the best I've ever eaten! You won't be sad!

Steak finger basket is to die for. Tender meat and perfectly breaded with just the right amount of crispness. I had spinach and sweet potato fries. You know it's good when you devour your veggies first. I've had the barbecue as well. Just as good and tender. Great sauce. I will definitely frequent this place. We sat inside to eat. Old building with old fixtures, but there's something about it that's quaint. It was relaxing. I didn't try the desserts, and I should've because I can't stop thinking about them.

Had their BBQ sandwhichs, was okay. Restaurant BBQ. Close to grab and go, and good service.

This is one of those true "holes in the wall" that is very good They have several different BBQ plates that are very reasonably priced. They come with two sides. I had the ribs. Meat was tender and fell off the bone. Numerous side dishes. I didn't get my usual okra, but had black eyed peas and fried zucchini. Had about seven large ribs that resulted in some take home for later. Wife had a hamburger she really liked. Everything was very tasty!

I was recently in the hospital and my nurse, who is from Seguin, was talking to me about BBQ, since I live in the BBQ Capitol of Texas. She told me that if she wanted BBQ, she went to Luling. But, at the same time, she told me about Johnny's BBQ and their awesome pies and catfish. I had to check it out. I had the fried catfish, along with coleslaw and blackeyed peas.The catfish was worth the stop. I got a Coconut Cream Pie, to take home, and it was awesome.Like any place, they have some items, that are better than others, and I was given the heads up. I am headed back down their, to try their chicken fried steak.

I eat here 3-4 times a month. Some of the best bacon cheese burgers , sweet potato fries, steak fingers, pecan or buttermilk pie around. I have never had a bad meal from Johnny's. They are consistent. Food is quick and hot as it should be. Order at the counter and deliver to your table. Get your own refills on drinks. Not a fancy setting, just home cooking plain and simple. They have a large menu and usually a lunch special daily. Order to go from the north side of town and when you get there the order usually is ready for pick up or to eat there.
