Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Johnston

As always, another amazing evening at Pot au Feu! I have season tickets to PPAC on Sunday evenings but made a switch because my friend has been craving their duck breast confit. I had to steal a taste, and it was heavenly! I have been attempting to work my way through the menu and last night selected the steak frites which was cooked to perfection. Dinner begins with crusty French bread and a crock of soft butter and the most delicious of salads with your choice of two homemade dressings. Ordinarily, we save room for dessert, but since we wanted to savor every last bite of dinner, we didn't leave room. That only means our return trip will have to be very soon! As for service and ambiance, if you have not had the pleasure of dining at the restaurant, you will see how a guest is made to feel as though you're at home. Cozy and comfortable with little candles on each table, even though it was crowded and every table occupied, you feel as though you're in your own little secluded world. Bob Burke is the consummate host, making certain every patron is attended to and entirely satisfied. On this particular evening, our server, whose name escapes me, was delightful. Attentive yet not overbearing. It was a pleasure to see Hillary a long-time staff member whose two children Caleb and Katerina are now "bussers" and learning the intricacies of fine dining with a comfortable and casual flair. It was the perfect evening! Looking forward to my next visit at the Pot au Feu!

It was Valentine’s Day, and the restaurant was very crowded, as expected! We had made a reservation on Open Table and we were seated promptly! Our waitress Dee, was so personable and did not rush us at all. She took our drink and app order and gave us plenty of time to enjoy before bringing out dinner. Everything was hot and cooked to order. We love Chelo’s food and staff!

This was my 3rd time at the George. Food and service never disappoint! Both are exceptional! It’s pricier than other restaurants I typically visit, but it is so worth it! It is super noisy (all three times I have been sat at a 2-person table in the bar area; next time I will request to sit in the dining room area). If you love live music, the bar area is a great place to be, but don’t expect to have both music and conversation; also the locals sitting at the bar area definitely use their outdoor yelling voices to be heard over the music (so if you’re into ease-dropping, this could be your place! lol). In short, the bar is great if you know you’re walking in to a music and conversation room that will limit the amount of conversation you can have at your own table. If you are looking for dinner and conversation, I would not recommend NOT being sat in the bar area.

We had a dinner outing for a group of our colleagues at our business, for our annual retreat. The restaurant was awesome!!!! we received such great service and care in setting up our group reservation, wonderful service, great cocktails and the seafood got rave reviews!!!! Everyone had a super experience, will definitely be there again.

Good food. We eat there every time we go to the casino.
