    Visited Johnny's Tavern last Friday evening around 7:45/8pm. Not super busy, which was great. Took awhile for a waitress to come around and take our order though. I asked for a side condiment, and never received it. By the time we got checked on again, we were done and had been waiting to get the bill so we could leave. Also, they sat us right under a TV. Didn't even look up until we were both almost done eating. I've included a photo - seems they don't clean. Needless to say, we lost our appetite after that.

    Best Place To Pretty Much Get Everything You Want Fresh & Delicious On The Menu But My Favorite All Time & Pick Would Definitely Be The Firecraker Tacos💯 Yas Sir The Ingredients They Put On Them Are Amazing And Their Special Sauce Absolutely Wonderful And Delicious🤸❤️🇩🇴🌺🙌🏽

    Ordered online. Pizza is usually pretty decent, and it tasted fine, but this is not an 18” pizza. I mean like, I’m not a stickler but it was obviously tiny when I opened the box and didn’t come close to filling it.

    Came with a friend server was not attentive never asked us if we were ok or needed a drink refill when she took our order she was about to walk away and didn't even take mine I had to call her back . I got the smoked gouda burger it was salty I wanted loaded fries but she walked away before I could even say my side I had to call her back again and she told me she already put the order in with my side and had to see of it was ok for the kitchen to change it... umm if it's ok? If she never asked for it and just assumed. The fries were hard and tasted old. Drinks tho great price that was the only highlight was my ONE drink since she never came back to check on us. I'm still babysitting the drink waiting for a refill.

    Just amazing, I know it just looks like a sports pub but it was busy both times we went. One of us being a celiac was a little worried about contamination but the communication between our server and the kitchen was impeccable. Food was great, service was fast a friendly. It is first come first serve so might have to wait depending when you arrive.

    I was in town visiting from Denver and needed a quick spot to eat before getting my baby to bed. I stopped in here and wasn't disappointed. I was served right away by Jesaiah. The food was great, drinks were cold and price couldn't be beat. I'll definitely be back next time I'm visiting.

    The crowd is pretty diverse. I imagine it's related to what events are going on at the t mobile center. Tonight, the crowd is mixed. The service is good and it's not too busy. This is a really popular spot, so it can get a little crazy around here. Bar service gets an A, and the drinks are tasty, too. The price is good. Depending on the venue, I'd come back.

    We love Johnny’s so much!!! We go for many occasions, the main one being to watch Arsenal (English Premier League Football), and we are NEVER disappointed! The service is friendly and efficient, the food is varied and delicious, and the atmosphere is pure joy. Thank you, Johnny’s Tavern-here’s to making more memories!

    We went here to watch the St. Louis City SC play Sporting KC. We were visiting from St. Louis and online it was supposed to be a good soccer bar. We were very disappointed! I understand they dont have a good team, but the game was only on 2 of the smallest tvs out of 50 something tvs. No one was rooting for their team, no one acknowledged us wearing another teams gear! I wanted a little confrontation! I was hoping for some passionate fans. We got none of that! If you're there, dont go there for a good time. it's just a plain old sports bar. They seem to enjoy the NBA more.

    The worst Johnny's Tavern location I've been to. I placed an order for pickup. One pizza, half buffalo chicken and half bacon, pepperoni, and jalapeno, with a half order of wings and fries. It's one of the worst pizzas I've ever ordered. Despite my entire order being late none of it came out well. Their menu says buffalo chicken is grilled chicken with hot sauce and blue cheese dressing or ranch. I ordered ranch. The buffalo chicken side is literally a piece of dough with no sauce whatsoever with some cheese and pieces of chicken thrown on. No sauce, buffalo sauce, or ranch. The other half has barely enough cheese to cover it. The fry portion is pitiful, less than half of a small fry from McDonald's, and the wings were soggy. The only good portion was the side of ranch, but that wasn't really worth it with 15 minutes of standing at the counter

    We were looking for a late snack during our stay in the power and light district. We were lucky to come across this place that was open, and not terribly busy. The good was surprisingly good for being in a touristy area. We had the pizza and some wings, very economical as well.

    We were in town for the chiefs game and came here twice, the food and service was amazing. I also have a severe gluten allergy, both visits they were able to accommodate my dietary restrictions. The food was great, I had the street tacos, wedge salad, and jambalaya. We even came in a busy football Sunday. I wish I could remember our severs name he was super helpful and really knowledgeable about the menu.

    waitress disappeared, and it wasn't even busy. Still left a $20 tip. grateful for a place serving food after midnight, but service is subpar. No splash of coke in long island icetea. It was very pale

  • 5/5 john e. 1 year ago on Google
    Some of the best wings I have ever had. I did the house wing sauce. Perfect spice. They where awesome. Don't get the cheese bread unless you have a big crowd or want a ton of left overs. Very good as well.

    Listen…we tried. It’s a neat place & maybe they were just off their game and our server (Maricela) was just having a bad night but she hardly helped, or came to the table or even wanted to be there & when asked if we had questions, God forbid I actually did ask about a size of a side wedge salad vs whole. Even after bringing it out I thought it was big, when she came to pick up our food she assured me it was a side. Guess side and full are same price because we were definitely charged for a full. Whatever. Oh also I understand flys and bugs happen, especially in salads but imagine my shock when I saw a little fly on the very top of one of the wedges (I didn’t even touch until I turned the plate to give to her, because again such a big salad). Gross. I was like Oo maybe mention to kitchen staff to just be extra careful next time. Didn’t ask for money back, but you’d think she’d change it. Especially after then seeing it was the wrong thing to begin with. Really frustrated me. Fries were also cold. I tried. & I hate leaving bad reviews but like, they gotta know to fix things….🤷‍♀️ & no one here currently seems to care. Let me add, we were nice the whole way through even after standing there at the door for awhile at hostess station only to finally ask if we just seat ourselves. Getting our drinks mixed up & no silverware at first. Fun times. Don’t be back

    DaVon was a great waitress. She was informative and offered suggestions to the menu. She was also very professional. Of course the food was delicious! The fish and chips were great and if you order pizza, the 12 inch is big enough for 2 people to eat.

    Went here for lunch with a group and it was fine. I had a fancy salad with chicken and it was good. Everybody seemed satisfied with their food. Service was fairly prompt and friendly. Prices were about average for a sit down place in P&L ($10-15 a meal). It wasn't anything I'd rave about, but I would go back again.

    Fun welcoming spot for before or after a game. Next to the party plaza. Lots of good food and drink choices to be had there.

  • 5/5 Kemi A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great spot for Game Day. Staff was very friendly. Great atmosphere and people. Food took a while but it was a busy night. Gotta try the Trash can...I almost had 3 of them

  • 4/5 Mitchell R. 2 years ago on Google
    Went here at about 10:30 on a Friday night. Spent $19 on the bacon gooda Burger and a Jack and Coke. Good very friendly service fairly quick. Glad I only got the single cause it was fairly strong so I really enjoyed it. Lots of TV's, plenty of sports.

    Wait staff is very nice. Lots of space. It was seat yourself. Food was good. We have several things but the Greek salad and southwest wrap are attached. We do recommend them.

  • 5/5 Heather P. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the Mac n cheese with added grilled chicken, it was amazing!! We ended up ordering from them again and I had the ESPI-NACHOS to go, they actually put all the topping in separate containers so the chips don't get soggy on their way home. They were soooo good!

  • 5/5 Autumn M. 2 years ago on Google
    It was really busy when we were there, but the server was friendly. We each got a different burger and they were both delicious! Fries were also nice and crisp and the onion rings were really good. They have a ring and fry combo as a side that hit the spot!
