We had Karen as our server and it was so nice to see her again! She was professional and kind and got an assist from Cam, who was as pleasant as she was. Our dinners were prepared exactly as requested. Another great evening!

We had an excellent meal and our waitress, Rachel was wonderful. It was very cold in the restaurant when we arrived but the temperature improved after we complained about it.

We have been take-out and dine-in customers here for many years, essentially since they first opened, and have dined at most of the major restaurants in the Amherst-Northampton area. In terms of the quality of food, service, ambience, consistency, etc., we think Johnny's is the best restaurant in this area.

Johnny's was great as always. Daphne did a wonderful job taking care of us. Very professional and friendly. The entire staff is excellent. Bartenders make the best drinks. Food was excellent. We travel to Johnny's from West Springfield so it's a bit of a ride but it's worth it!

The noise level made conversing impossible. That took away from the enjoyment of the venue.

Cam was our server, our first time with him. He was kind, professional, and had a great sense of humor! He listened carefully to our requests and the meals were prepared exactly to our liking and were delicious.

I truly love this restaurant! We went for my birthday and they greeted me at the host stand and said Happy Birthday which was so sweet. The cocktails are always delicious, the appetizers were incredible (get the French Onion Soup), and our meals were so tasty as usual. We've had the same server the last few times we've been there and he's always super nice. As someone who works in the restaurant industry, it so nice to eat out at a place where you know the service, food, and general vibe are on point every time you go.

Great service on a Thursday night at Johnny's. Menu selection was good, and our server helped us with deciding on our order. Beet and Kale burger was as promised, and Bronzino filet had a nice crispy skin, and moist on the inside. Would go back for sure.
