    Stopped in just after playing a round of golf nearby. Bar was hopping at noontime! We sat in the dining room. There seemed to be only one server who was also tending bar. I wished I'd gotten her name--she was amazingly doing it all! On her recommendation, I had the Turkey Gobbler sandwich with THE best onion rings. My friend had the cheeseburger sliders appetizer as a meal. We both loved the food! My turkey was real and the cranberry sauce homemade. Bar was vibrant--loud music and even louder patrons who'd maybe had too much liquid lunch, but the vibe is good and the food terrific.

    Food and service at Johnny KONO's has always been decent and as the staffs shirt state it's a five star dive which works for me!

    Consistency is key and I wish this place had it. Even with the inconsistencies, I still love this really cool tiny spot! I've had the most perfect bar pizza here; thin crispy dough, great sauce/cheese combo and nice lacing. And I've also had what seemed more like greek pizza with thicker dough and no lacing. I've had delicious chicken wings while my friend had a feather sticking out of hers (yikes). The fried chicken sandwich is probably one of the best I've had anywhere, but on the flipside, my burgers always get overcooked for medium-rare. The nachos and tater tot nachos are above average, however the tater tots and fries that come as sides with your meal are sad in comparison. It's hit or miss. Overall, I'd still recommend checking out this fun little spot.

    True Score: 4.5 Stars Great Spot Just like the name says Johnny Kono's is a dive bar. The food is excellent and the drinks are good. It is decorated in a Key West theme. The bar is the spot to be plenty of regulars and new friends alike. The food is good with some imagination. I had crab (pretty sure blue crab) tacos and the chicken parm calzone. The 2 tacos serving while good not an entree for me. The chicken was huge. My take on Johnny's is if one is looking for a place with comfort food with pleasant service you will be happy. If you are looking for a place with some ambiance, cloth napkins, nice silverware, many healthy options or you would be uncomfortable in a basic bar environment it may not work for you...perhaps take out would be better. Overall, we really enjoyed Kono's. Very solid food, strong drinks, cheap beers, and some great music on the jukebox. Add in some super friendly diligent service and really got something here. Wish we lived closer. We'll seek the place out again when we're in the area. Thanks

    First of all, what the hell? There's a door for "Dining Room" and a door for "Baaaaar" (no typos) and both sides are connected through the neckdid, and neither sits more than twenty comfortably. But the food! Cheesesteak swimming in the goods, and on really solid bread, with a side of tots for like $10. Wife's burger was bacon loaded. Bottled Bud Lights (don't judge, it works) were ice cold, and as a testament to the local day drinking scene, not a seat was empty on a Friday at 11am. At the bar. Before noon. Anyway, this place shouldn't be called a dive. Mostly because they serve food, and it's damn good, but they are, so yes Johnny Kono, you are indeed a five star dive bar. A good day, sir.

    I recommend it! Go for a drink and dinner and you won't regret it! If you like a dive bar with friendly locals, do it!

    To order food to go, do you add a fee and if so how much should we expect? There are 4 of us looking to order and since my last experience when I ordered and the total was like 50% more than listed price I haven't eaten or ordered to go since.

    No we do not a take out fee , although prices have gone up since the pandemic , but I can tell you we did not double our prices if you call we can tell you the price of your order prior to your pick up ! Thank you .

We were quoted a 10 min wait but ended up waiting longer -- it was still a short wait and the staff were extremely apologetic. We went with my 5 year old son whom they provided toys to occupy him with while waiting for our food. Service was polite, quick and efficient. I had a few requests -- my hollandaise sauce on the side and my son's meal topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. I told them not to worry if they couldn't; they remembered everything I had asked and my son felt so special. The food itself was delicious and the portions were large. I ordered a steak tip Benedict and the steak was cooked to perfection. As I was cutting a portion of the meat up to share with my son, Mal came over with a steak knife without me asking for one. I didn't realize I had been struggling so much until she did. My son said his favorite part was the steak and he is the biggest food critic of all of us. The restaurant is cute and clean. We loved all the colors and vibe of it. As we were leaving, they let my son pick out a toy to take home, so that was another special treat for him. They even have gummies for the kids to snack on while waiting. It was a great meal and we will definitely be back, would highly recommend!
