Johnnie's Jazz Bar & Grille

"EXTREMELY MISLEADING MENU!! Please be careful if you have dietary restrictions many items marked Gluten Free on the menu are fried in the same fryer as everything else (Nachos, Fries, etc). Staff wasn't knowledgeable about how items are prepared. Seasoned fires lack any detectable seasoning...No salsa is offered with the Nachos... Music is great . Service was lackluster. Had to ask for a drink menu. Gluten-free bun wasn't used initially, by the time the sandwich was delivered as ordered, the rest of the party had already finished eating. DO NOT LIST menu items Gluten-free if they are prepared with other dishes full of Gluten! If you have any dietary restrictions where not following them could have a negative impact on your health, please consider eating somewhere else."

"I went on my birthday for the first time to Johnnie's and I was so fortunate Lori Tucker and her band were performing that night! She and they are brilliant! She's a delight as a person! The food was so delicious, the drinks were as well! (I got the salmon with asparagus and truffle fries, the Blackberry Maker's Mark-arita and the Apple Cider Martini — it tasted just like apple cider, with a kick). The servers and staff I want to give a shout out to as well because they really made my night perfect, too. I've never experienced such top notch service in my life. I could not have asked for a better birthday. I've wanted to go to Johnnie's for years now and now I am hopelessly devoted to you and forever grateful. For my review I just want to add, this is how much I spent there, you could go and enjoy yourself for less money than me. Don't be dissuaded by how much I spent."

"I love the atmosphere here but I have to say the food is REALLY disappointing. This could be such an amazing place if they would step it up in their kitchen! This review is based off numerous visits over the last 5 years. Approximately 6-7 visits total. Each time we have left disappointed but keep coming back for the music. Again, we decide to go on Valentine’s Day because it’s close to home and they have dinner and music. Loved the idea of the preset valentines dinner. We both ordered the oysters and soon as they sat them on the table they reeked of a foul stench fish smell. I love oysters and have had them at numerous places. Oysters are not suppose to smell like a rotten fish! Both my husbands and I sent them back for salads instead. The pork shank was good! The pasta was very blah… Mixed drinks were absolutely awful. I’m an ex bartender that hates to complain about food and drinks unless really granted! I ordered 2 different ones and both were undrinkable. I finished 1/2 my 1st one and ordered a different one thinking it would be better…took one sip and no…I didn't send it back just left it sitting on the table full. After sending the oysters back I gave up. Very frustrating that I couldn’t even enjoy a drink on valentines night and listen to music. I can overlook one or two oops but come on…when there’s more negative than positive…it needs to be addressed. Cheesecake was edible but the chocolate cake tasted stale as if it was baked 4-5 days ago and frozen and left out to thaw. Very dry! Took two bites and threw away. Ordered 9 different items off the menu that night between drinks, apps, entrée, and dessert and only 2 were good!? The pork shank and strawberry salads were good. Everything else failed miserably. The band was amazing!!!. Sadly we will go else where when we want dinner and music. After 5 years of hoping it would turn around, I can’t torture myself with the horrible food anymore! Please address your kitchen and food quality. You could do so much better!"

"Johnnie’s is an excellent choice. The atmosphere is gorgeous art deco, the chef is fantastic, and the service is impeccable. Come for dinner and music, then walk through the door into the theater and see a movie! Love this place"

"We arrived on Thursday night and enjoyed the live music while eating delicious street tacos. The crowd was not big at all. We returned the next night to watch a movie. Much larger crowd on Friday in the bar. Also, live music. Ordered street tacos to take to the movies, and the wait time at the bar was way too long. We then asked them to deliver, and they said they would bring it to our movie seats. Never did they bring them. My husband missed the beginning of the movie to return to the bar to pick up, and the manager returned with our food bagged and must have sat for a time. The food was cold and barely had any meat in them or avocado slice as the previous night. We will say that we kindly complained after the movie and was refunded. We will visit again despite it all."
