Buffalo chicken dip. $19.99
Joeson A.

$19.99. This morsel of a plate was $19.99. A dish so sad I wouldn't charge my worst enemy $19.99 for it. Johnny Longboats, why is this sorry appetizer $19.99? Not only was the portion size disrespectful, but it was also severely lacking flavor. Imagine canned chicken with a sprinkle of cheese and Frank's RedHot mixed in. Half a cup of mystery buffalo dip for $19.99 is absolutely criminal. I also had the JLB Caribbean Mahi Wrap and ordered it with 'vegetables' only to be told the vegetables were just green beans. That's fine, but there needs to be more transparency because 'vegetables' makes it sound like you have a mix of veggies. When my dish came out, the green beans were thrown loosely onto the plate like an afterthought, and my wrap was swimming in green bean water. It made the wrap so soggy I couldn't even pick it up. Y'all need to put that in a bowl, maybe the same tiny bowl y'all used for that sorry, paltry buffalo dip.

Still a fun place but prices have skyrocketed. Had 2 well drinks apiece, a half dozen oysters to share, and a happy hour order of 8 fried oysters. With tip $75. Probably done for this trip. Got good service at the bar top but unfortunately did not get the server's name.

Outstanding service! Even with specific request for how sweet my wife's drink needs to be! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great happy animal details, and fun festive atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Happy hour is 7 days, 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a great corner restaurant with plenty of seating indoors and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We sat outside and quickly got water and had a drink order taken. I was just getting over the flu and wanted something comforting and easy on the stomach so I settled on chicken quesadillas. The menu is extensive but these looked the perfect fit. They arrived looking good, but first bite told me I ordered the wrong thing. The chicken was spicy and I was afraid I would upset my stomach worse so didn't eat more than one bite. So disappointing as I hadn't eaten in 3 days and wanted something good. I double checked the menu and it did not mention spices in the chicken. The server never questioned why I hadn't touched my food when he took it away

reuben with blackened mahi mahi

Good stuff!! Perfect for the travel and tourist crowd. I got the mahi mahi reuben with the fish blackened... it is THE meal I'll associate with this trip for the rest of my life, I think. The fries were good, the Diet Coke was cold. But the mahi mahi reuben... it was so good. A lot of meat on the sandwich but I finished the whole thing! My man got the stuffed shrimp, onion rings, and the Caribbean rice. All good but not as show-stopping as the reuben. Just a heads up: some meals come with sides even though it's not listed on the menu.

A couple of had Mahi sandwich which were very good. One of us had fish n chips which had too much fried dough and not enough fish. One us had a burger. Ask for medium and rare. Service was great but was told was her last week. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance one of kind and I would go back again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Oysters on the half shelf
Mike M.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Jonnny Longboat is a cool nautical pirate themed kind of place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the decor and I love the food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tonight they had oysters on the half shell and I split an order of nachos with my wife. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything is great from the rum buckets that we ordered to the service that we received and of course the atmosphere of the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I just love it. They've got my vote for one of my favorite kind of places, can't wait to go back and eat again.

Great ribs, beach‑bar vibes, and a shark judging every bite.   We're gonna need a bigger plate... maybe a bigger boat.

Yum!

What a treat that Johnny's has partnered with Wok by the Beach next door: Sushi at the shore! Several servers scrambled to take our orders, and the soccer/weekend crowd was laidback and loving it!

I'm giving Johnny Longboats a 3.7. Not quite a 4, but also not quite a 3. If you are going there it's because you're at the beach and want a fun atmosphere. The food is typical dive bar food. My husband had the special: lobster roll. It wasn't great. Lots of mayo. I had the Cabo wabo burger. That was pretty good. Just lacked salt. We sat at the bar. The service was decent. Again, don't come here thinking you're getting top of the line food. You're going for the atmosphere and the beach.

Shrimp quesadilla
Megha D.

I was in Riviera Beach to do some SCUBA, so my group and I decided to come here for dinner after a long day of dives! There's plenty of parking and the restaurant is super spacious and ideal for large groups. Our waitress was a little spacey, but it was towards the end of the night and the place was still packed. She was kind enough to go back and replace an order she got wrong. I ordered a margarita and a shrimp quesadilla for my meal. The drink was pretty standard, not super heavy on alcohol. The quesadilla was delicious - a little oily, but loved the peppers, onions, and melty cheese inside! Overall. touristy place but decently prices and great menu options and accommodations for a large group.

Did they have grouper in a bag?

Yes, it's been awhile since I've been there, but I remember that being on the menu.

Go for the happy hour!! I got a drink, appetizer and a 5 piece roll for about $20 which was…read morefantastic! Food was really good! The calamari (squid ring) was super crispy! And the sauce was a really good pairing. I also got the JB tempura which was also good. For drinks, I got the Raspberry with Passion. My friends got the Apple Sake-tini and the Peach Sake Sangria. My favorite was probably the Sangria. Service was fast but our waitress was not attentive at all and I felt like she was constantly trying to get away. We sat outside and that was nice. I would definitely come back and especially for the happy hour!

I ordered Pad Thai with chicken (medium spicy) and asked for steamed chicken on the side. What I…read morereceived was genuinely disappointing and borderline inedible. The Pad Thai was a complete mess -- soggy, clumped noodles with no balance of flavor. There was no proper tang, no depth, and no freshness. It tasted flat, heavy, and greasy. Medium spicy was nonexistent -- there was zero heat and zero character. The steamed chicken was the worst part. It was pale, rubbery, and had an unpleasant smell and texture. "Steamed" should mean clean, moist, and simple -- this was none of those things. It tasted old and unappetizing, and I couldn't eat more than a bite. For a dish that's a Thai staple, this was shockingly bad. Pad Thai is not complicated -- when it's done right, it's comforting and balanced. This was bland, greasy, and poorly prepared. I don't leave reviews lightly, but this meal was disgusting, and I won't be ordering again.

The good, the bad, the ugly Good - I had the best Thai tea…read moreI've had at any Thai restaurant. I'd go back just for this. The crispy duck in curry was outstanding. A huge amount for the $31 price tag but worth it. I wish they'd add more veggies but still an excellent dish. The vegan gyoza dumplings were delicious. Slightly charred and melt in your mouth. The bad - seaweed salad at $9 was mostly shredded lettuce with a little seaweed in a margarita (?) glass to make it look like a lot. I like seaweed and was disappointed that this had such a small amount. The ugly. I came after the lunch crowd rush at 1:00. There was a booth available and waiter would not seat me there because he said it's for larger parties. So he sat me underneath a fake stiff Christmas decoration that was cutting into my neck and back. Very uncomfortable. During the half hour I was there a single woman was seated there and three more booths opened. So this experience was uncalled for. I left the waiter a 15% tip where I'd usually tip 20 for lunch. And by the way the reviews saying tip automatically added are incorrect. You get a suggested tip starting at 18! My waiter today is reason tips should be discretionary for service received. My waiter didn't give me water or check on me during the meal either

I was seated quickly, and the booths are fairly large and comfortable. Service was incredibly…read moreattentive... I think I had my water filled up four times lol. The sushi ordered came out quickly and tasted great. I would not say it's the very best I've had in the area, but it is decent and there are plenty of options for different kinds of rolls and other dishes here. Seems like a good option if you are looking for sushi in this part of Palm Beach Gardens.
