Johnny Mac's Rib Shack

This is our go to on a nice hot day for soft serve. Lots of selections and choices for a yummy dessert. My husband recently had the chili and loved it. A tad on the spicy side and very meaty. A friend of ours loves their breakfast so we came for lunch today! We both had the steak and cheese with fries and a soda. $41 for two sub combos. Sandwiches were large and fresh but the meat was very gristly. Would like to try other things. Def a hole in the wall. Friendly staff. Reminds me of an old drive in.

Dogs and chili were ok, but not remarkable or memorable. The fries, while well-cooked and plentiful, were lacking salt or seasoning of any kind.The menu is as big as the restaurant (more like a roadside shack)! At 2:30 pm on a Tuesday. there were 5 unrelated customers. That says something about the food!It's counter service only with a few picnic tables outside.The atmosphere is straight out of the 50s. Remember, my first McDonald's was clad in white tile with outdoor seating ONLY.

After Pre-Thanksgiving trip to big box store and filling up for gas on Richmond Hwy, made a great decision to stop for lunch at Johnny Mac's. I had a delicious chili half smoke that was split, grilled and covered with meaty chili. From the large selection of sides, I chose mean greens, seasoned with meat. The food and service were both very good, there is room to stand at a counter that runs the width of the restaurant, or you can sit at picnic tables outside.Look forward to returning and trying other items on menu as well as smoothies and sundaes.

I plan to update this review every time I try something new in their menu. I just wanted to make sure I post this review on their ribs now since none of the reviews seem to mention the ribs.I give the ribs 3/5 stars. The reason is because they were pretty dry and barely juicy. They come with sauce though, whatever sauce you want that they offer. The taste was a tad bland but again, the sauce will help with that. This was my first time coming here so I'm not sure how their ribs usually taste or if I visited them on an off-day. Their Mac and cheese was nice and HOT, but the cheese was no longer gooey and melted if that makes sense. In taste, it was a tad bland. I could not really taste the cheese.The half-smoke was decent. They said it would be larger than a hotdog though and it wasn't when I got it. It was still good. You can get whatever toppings you want on it; I just asked for ketchup and mustard. I'm willing to visit them a few more times to see if their other food is good and if the ribs will taste better on another day and with a different sauce. I didn't like the bbq sauce they had.

Love the soft serve ice cream it's nice and thick and tasty . The chili half smokes are great also

Drove past this place and knew it was going to be a great experience. We got a few chilli dogs, chilli half smoke, burger, onion rings, greens, bbq beans, and some ice cream (cotton candy, pina colada, green apple, and butter pecan).Only gripe is that the large onion rings were lacking in size. That said it was the right amount so when we go back will be getting small.Ice cream wasn't to my taste but the rest of the family loved them.The staff was amazing, detailed, and quick. Granted there weren't many people in the shop when we went (~4PM on Friday) but for the complaints that I've seen in other reviews I'd have to assume they're just impatient people and won't be happy anywhere.Go check this place out!

Stopped by for a quick bite. Had the rib-eye steak sandwich, which was very good. Only downside to the plane was they were out of a few things I wanted to try. I got the onion rings and they were oily with no flavor. I would pass on those. Otherwise it wasn't bad.

What you can approve is that the cook wear gloves while preparing food for customers. I went in yesterday October 22, 2024 we ordered a steak and cheese. Well she was cooking our food with no gloves or hairnet. Unsanitary and Unsafe to the customers. I didn't even see her wash her hands. That a No No No I reported to the VDH department about this. Very concern. Please everyone wears gloves while dealing with food. Thanks.

Very good little spot, the food is very delicious. I would recommend getting the burgers,steak&cheese,bbq sandwich. For the sweet section the ice cream,milkshakes, and smoothies are splendid.

Ordered two Chili Half Smokes with onions and mustard. Got home and no onions. How can you mess that up?
