Johnny's Kitchen and Tap - American restaurant in Glenview - 1740 Milwaukee Ave, USA

Stepping into Johnny’s was a step back in time. Service was old school, dinners weren’t rushed, portions were good and atmosphere was relaxing. Pork chops were perfectly seasoned, large and had bone in for a delicious flavor. London broil was also delicious but cooked to medium when ordered medium rare. Table bread was fresh and delicious! A good choice if your looking for quality food.

We ordered the Thanksgiving meal. It cost in total $366. I hope an owner or manager reads this review because I would not have paid more than$100 if I had seen the meal first! The turkey was over Cooke and dry! The sides were laughable. Mashed potatoes with out any flavor! And please… a tray of baby carrots dumped out of bags and heated up. The tray of stuffing was confusing at best. It was hard dry hockey pucks in a tray. It appears that it was all baked in trays and chopped up! The salads were two small clam shells of salad that looked like it was bagged salad of ice burg lettuce with slivers a of carrots and a few tomatoes. Not to worry about the dried food, as we got 1/2 gallon of gravy with little or no flavor. The pie, from Costco with sticker ripped off. I don’t know this restaurant outside of this single experience. I hope that in general they have earned the 4.3 stars. This experience was an epic fail! I haven’t said anything until now as it was a recommendation by a close family member. Talking with my wife about it, I was moved to warn others! She uses the word “Lame!” When you look at photos m, remember much of the food is ours and we decorated table to look festive. Look at foil trays to see the “Lame!”

First time at this place. Everything was wonderful food, drinks and service I had the half chicken dinner with garlic sauce and it was so good. We also shared an appetizer that had some fried calamari, wings and loaded potatoes or potato wedges. portions are fairly big. Next time I'm in the restaurant I want to try some of their specialty cocktails since I only had beer that time

We've been visiting this charming rustic restaurant with an old-school vibe since I got married 20 years ago. The highlight was the mouthwatering Clay oven rotisserie chicken – a true culinary delight. Highly recommended for those seeking a nostalgic and flavorful culinary adventure. No frills just amazing food and their long islands are amazing.

My go to pick on a snowy night 😀. The atmosphere is calm. The food is always good like the wood oven Grecian chicken as well as the half slab ribs. The beer on tap is superb as well. I'm a regular here and it is highly recommended.

We had a late lunch, early dinner. Outstanding meal. They smoke their own meat, so the place smells incredible. Very intimate atmosphere with Rat Pack and smooth oldies music. I had the pork chops, and they were excellent. The pashiccio was good, and a large portion, but was not what I was expecting.

3+1/2🌟 The calamari was good, my wife's shrimp scampi was also good. My steak sandwich was tender and flavorful. Big disappointment was the asiago potatoes. Now, I'm a pretty good cook, as a matter of fact better than many. I've cooked all over the place. Those potatoes were terrible, they were watery, they had no flavor, and just the asiago was not enough to save them. So, two forks full and that's it. My wife had the blueberry cocktail, she really enjoyed it. But the most disappointing thing was, our waiter was just not a friendly individual. He seemed not to want to interact much, he wasn't attentive, and didn't smile! Which is okay, he didn't get an excellent tip either. There were about three tables full of people in the entire building, and he still was not that attentive to our table. As you can see, from all of my reviews, I don't penalize the food because of the waiter. Those are two separate and distinct issues. And I doubt if the waiter would have changed my review as far as stars go. I will say, the bathrooms were spotless, and like I always say, clean bathrooms equal clean kitchens! Remember that when you go to a restaurant you've never been in before, check out the bathroom first thing, if it's a dump (no pun intended LOL), go eat somewhere else! The atmosphere in the booths is relaxing, the ambiance of the entire facility elicits a certain privacy which is enjoyable. Only thing I would suggest, employees should knock on the bathroom doors before they walk in, my wife was quite surprised! If you like, give me a call, I'll show you how to make even better steaks and the best potatoes you've ever shoved in your pie hole!

I'm an Uber driver (Kevin) and I picked up from here for the first time. Silvia at the carry out section was very kind. She did everything she could to expedite the process while I was waiting for the customers order. I am very grateful for her customer service skills as it's a rare thing these days, unfortunately. On top of that, the food in my car smelled absolutely phenomenal so now I plan to get some for my family in the future. Thanks for all that you do. God bless.
