The loaded tater tots are hands down the best around. I've tried them at other places, but nothing compares to Johnny Black's. They're the one appetizer I keep coming back for every single time. The drinks are always made perfectly. I usually get a margarita, and it's consistently great. If you're a beer drinker, the beer on tap is always ice cold and exactly how it should be. The atmosphere is fun, the service has always been great, and it's become one of those places that feels familiar and comfortable every time we walk through the door. If you're looking for a great place to grab drinks, appetizers, and spend time with friends or your significant other, I highly recommend Johnny Black's.

In fact, a few years before, they built a questionably-located apartment building in the middle of parking lot so view of the place is utterly and completely blocked from the road. The place is cavernous and has plenty of hangout space and tables for groups. I've been here three times, mainly when the place is empty and I am the only one or close to the only present. But the barista/staff have always been very pleasant and kind, which is a bonus. There's ample parking (church/former theater, remember?). The place has great natural light and comfortable couches. It's a very good place to grab a latte and chill, by yourself or with others. Unlike other places, they're not blasting music to drown out all conversations and there's very little echo to the place, never mind how large it is. They even post a welcome sign to hangout; just don't bring outside food/beverages. In today's environment when people are looking for a place to be legit chill, they have plenty of places to choose from. Panera and Starbucks are annoyingly loud/rude and corporate. I'd rather choose local. Choose this place at least once or before you know it, we won't have as many of them.

The food didn't take too long and we all liked our drinks! The food itself was good but nothing too special.

The decor is chic and modern, with a bright, welcoming vibe. The staff were genuinely warm and attentive. Even the manager stopped by to chat and later came to say goodbye, which added such a personal touch. When my family and I arrived, we were seated immediately. We tried three different entrées to share: - Salmon Burger ($19): Served with crispy fries on the side, this burger came with coleslaw, tomato slices, and a spicy sauce that really made the salmon pop. The patty was thick, flavorful, and satisfying. Honestly, it was large enough to share if you're not super hungry. - Love O' Pistachio Pancakes ($17): This is a must-order if you love pistachio. Three fluffy pancakes are layered with chopped pistachios, topped with a scoop of creamy gelato, and drizzled with pistachio cream. It sounds heavy, but the sweetness is well-balanced. Personally, I thought it was decadent, yet not overwhelming. - Brioche Sandwich ($14): For something savory, this was a winner. A buttery croissant-style brioche filled with prosciutto cotto, egg, and melted Gruyère cheese. It comes with a light side salad and a small cup of bacon jam for dipping the sandwich. The salty-sweet combo was delicious. While you're there for brunch, definitely try the mimosa. It's light, crisp, and not overly sweet. Overall, Kejsi's food presentation, flavors, and service all shine. It's a spot I'd happily return to.

We had an appointment nearby and were too early so we thought let's give it another try. It hasn't changed.
