    Dave D.

    Walking back in time ... The green milkshake machine sits along the back wall ... Vacant stools lined up along a counter where Heinz bottles are neatly nested with silver topped sugar canisters, ramikens overflowing with Smuckers and little mug shaped shakers of salt and pepper. Plastic encased white menu's with black graphics and a sketching of a woman ... I discover she is Marian (The current owner) not Johnnie. As the "classically" attired waitress with her hair appropriately in a bun took my order I just kept sensing a return to much better times. Families could choose the rush of the arched fast food next door where plastic rules but if they care about family then Johnnie's flatware, coffee mugs that are washed after each use, and a nostalgic breakfast of conversation should be the choice. My meal ... The special $4.50 prepared in real time. And, as my order reached the cook I smiled as I heard the sound of the stainless steel griddle being scraped. Fresh cup of "Joe" in a coffee mug of my younger days arrived and this was breakfast out. Looking around I see newspapers being read ... Yes print papers even though I am online but so cool to see. Chattering and friendliness. My meal arrives quickly ... Fresh and hot off the griddle with perfect bacon and pancakes that taste so good with butter melting down the small stacks sides (thick hot cakes that seem more like 3 than 2), and my egg was just right. Only complaint ... Had to ask for a coffee refill but all was good "everything alright?" Yes indeed ... A trip back in time ... A really good decision! Funny how some restaurants just take away the nasty world for precious moments we all need. Marian ... Johnnie may be gone but your place took me back in a very good way to the 1960's!

    Breakfast menu

    Everything is good. We'll be back with family. We are big breakfast eaters. The service was friendly no concerns or problems from anybody since we got here. The experience is like eating at your grandma house. I would recommend this place of you love to eat.

    Bud's Special with side of scrapple

    Good food, reasonable prices, and big portions! Ordered the Bud's Special which is essentially a sausage and egg biscuit smothered in gravy. Very good. Others at my table ordered creamed chipped beef which was good as well. Cash only!

    The word Johnnie traces back to the Latin word "John", meaning "terrible restaurant". It definitely fits the name. The pancakes are excellent, and the service is great. Would eat here! Love it! Best food ever! I would say more stuff, but my fingers are tired!

    The Sarah Omelette
    Jenilyn O.

    All of the ladies were very friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be frequenting again.

    Breakfast is awesome.

    Best breakfast spot around! Had Bud's special, scrambled eggs, cheese, sausage on a biscuit covered in sausage gravy! Outstanding! And also had banana walnut pancake special. They were huge, fluffy and delicious! Definitely visit this restaurant!

    Dirty chairs
    Molly M.

    My first impression of this place is.. It's filthy dirty in there the plus side is grill is very clean. Someone needs to do a serious cleaning at Johnny restaurant. Bathrooms are very dirty. The waitress was really nice. The male cook was eating n busy sucking on his fingers..I guess what he was eating was delicious! The waitress forgot our toast I made sure to watch if the cook washed his hands. He briefly random under the water without any soap. Obviously I refused the toast sorry I won't be back there again

    I only get one egg scrambled..so don't judge my portions lol

    I recently went back to Freddy J's in Mays Landing for happy hour with my coworkers, and once…read moreagain, it did not disappoint. This time I ordered the chicken empanadas and smoked wings with Freddy J's Classic Mild sauce. The freshness of the food really stood out, especially the chicken empanadas -- and the portion size was generous, making them perfect for sharing (or not!). The Classic Mild sauce was good, but I'll admit I still prefer their Hot Honey Garlic sauce from my previous visit -- that one just hits differently. I also ordered Yuenglings from their happy hour menu, which paired perfectly with the wings. Everything was consistent with my last visit, which honestly says a lot. There was nothing off about the food or service, and I genuinely can't think of anything that needed improvement. Service was friendly, fast, and attentive, and the vibe was relaxed and lively -- a little loud, but still easy enough to hold a conversation. The space felt clean and comfortable, making it a great spot to unwind after work. This visit didn't change my opinion -- I still highly recommend Freddy J's. It's a solid choice for happy hour, casual dining, and group outings.

    Smoked wings with sauce on the side were amazing! Smash burgers were just as good.

The one time we went for the World Cup and they opened early in the morning to catch the games live and provided everyone with a free breakfast buffet. This last time we went we brought some friends and everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I had the Caribbean Salmon salad and it was very good. The draft beer selection is great and they have a nice variety of wines and specialty cocktails. The service this time was unfortunately lacking, although the server was very pleasant and efficient as much as he could be. The problem is that he was the only one serving in a very crowded table area. I was going to give four stars for this review because of the service, but I know from past experience that this was not the norm.
