About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for happy hour
The Johnny Utah's experience begins with cuisine full of flavors & spices which embody the real meaning of Southwestern food. With hearty recipes of our cultural ancestors, Johnny Utah’s offers a menu full of zesty Texan BBQ ribs, savory steak fajitas, & authentic Mexican tequila.

Almost every seat in the house has a view of the dining room’s main attraction, Manhattan’s only mechanical bull. Showcasing the full essence of the Southwestern theme, the beast is theatrically surrounded with cascading metal chains & burning candles that echo “rings of fire,” signifying the celebration of the icon. The interior was designed as an interpretation of an old western mining shaft with salvaged antique tiles & pony-hide furniture.

Johnny Utah’s is sure to serve as an ideal location for both delicious Southwestern food & drinks, & late night reveling & bull riding.

    Great atmosphere! The staff is a major factor in the energy of the over fun factor. I haven't had that much fun in a long time and cant wait to go back

    Johnny Utah's has great hearty servings of food, the atmosphere is energetic and fun! They should however add servers...our server was so busy, we were left a few times sitting at the table trying to get her attention...

    I went with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday and we had a blast. There were 8 of us so they gave us our own room. Service was very good, great selection of food and a really fun vibe. Riding the bull was so much fun and the people were really friendly. Also ordered the sangria in the cowboy boot. Overall, a great experience!! Would highly recommend and plan on going back.

    Food was bland, not appetizing. Even the diet coke had a weird taste, must have been RC Much to noisy. You could not hear yourself talk.

The calamari was awesome the chicken fingers were great and there was so many of them... I got chicken fajitas there was such a large portion I couldnt finish it all. We would definetly go back.

    As we entered, there was no host or hostess at the door to greet us, and it was several minutes before one finally appeared. We then told her we had a reservation and she said, "Ok please bear with me for a few minutes." Several more minutes went by before we were seated, well after our reservation time came and went. Another wait followed as we waited for our waitress. When she finally arrived, she apologized for the delay - saying they were short-staffed. Then the tablet device she apparently needed to take our order wasn't working. Another apology, another wait. When our dinner finally arrived (more than 30 minutes after our reservation time), it was very good. But it couldn't overcome the insufferable and inexplicable delays.

    One flight underground we were greeted by garbage bags. The food was not very good. The awesome waitress was slammed because they didn’t have enough staff. Totally avoid. Danger!
